PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gaylord du Bois]

Bit pompous that ??

Truth.

There is absolutely fuck all to be gleaned from Tolmie's post. It is meaningless.

 

[madloaf]

Man posts incomprehensive post on dead social media platform, turns forum upside down.

That's what I meant to say. Just couldn't find the right words.

As i understand it, there is nothing on the PL rules that deal with any other contract any manager has with another employer, so what Mancini did or didn't do as part of his other contract is moot?

None of us really know but given the leaked docs, the potential issue with Mancini wasn’t that he had a separate contract, it was whether we were negotiating and paying him on their behalf.

Fingers crossed icons from Tolmie usually spell doom. Things obviously aren't going well. We're fucked or words to that effect.
Could be wrong but it doesn't sound great.

It'll all come out in the wash.

The Force is the PL and they are in trouble. Sounds promising. Bring it on!

Spot-on as always GDB. Watch-out for the "prayers" emoji. It's Tolmie-talk for Defcon 1.

What's he said?
Love the guy cos he tipped us Haaland was coming, but (thankfully) Jude Bellend wrong.
I need updating

Tolm tweeted ‘I sense a disturbance in the force’ with a fingers crossed icon

last time he used that phrase was just before the super league stuff came out

It's no burning bush but it could be a sign.

Guessing Tolmie's tweet/post was due to the breaking news (at the time) on the APT stuff.

Don't think there's anything of relevance to this, although cryptic posts don't help here imo.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Have we won yet?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I was fucking about. You'll take yourselves to an early grave, if you believe everything you read.

I thought that was obvious.

Maybe tolmie just likes different variations of fingering ?

Not sure why Tolmie would tweet re the APT announcement today! Think this tweet relates to something else. Hopefully positive from the tone.

He just wants to challenge burnley’s fan .

It's almost inevitable that it won't be a binary Guilty or Not Guilty. It will be a spectrum of judgments eg Etihad, Aabar sponsorships are cleared, ie all questions answered. Worst case scenario, the contested Etisalat £30m payment could be ruled as acting in bad faith, in one FY only. Hopefully all other Etisalat payments are completely cleared, there is nothing else about Etisalat that is contentious and in the public domain. If Mancini is considered as not time barred and he didn't set foot in Abu Dhabi in one specific FY, then once again that could be ruled bad faith, in one FY. The non cooperation charges can only lead to non sporting sanctions, so bollocks to them. It terns of severity of possible sporting sanction, I've always considered the weighing to be something like:-
Etihad 80% (£600m 10 year deal)
Etisalat 5%
Aabar 5%
Mancini 5%
Toure/Fordham 5%
Non cooperation 0%

Mancini didn’t have to step foot in AD to fulfil his company’s contract

He could’ve sent anybody he deemed capable & qualified (or potentially delivered remotely)

The Mancini part is the biggest load of shite in all of it
