PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Blue Llama]

Is it official policy? Genuine question. Have they announced any form of Government or Local Government help to develop Old Trafford?

No, quite the opposite

 

[bennyboy]

I remember that vitriol tirade from wright.

It was all the more alarming as it came out of the blue but I guess he couldn’t contain it anymore due to city overtaking the arse to the league.

Really disappointing from him and you can add McCoist into the mix aswell.

People hate city for a lot of reasons.

Jealousy
Clubs they support not winning
Paid to hate


I could go on and on. Those types are scum imo. We all watched arse, chvas and rags win season after season and it didn’t drive me to this levels of abuse.

The line doesn’t exist anymore.

McCoist the cheeky chappy who thought the rangers support was brilliant on Thursday despite the non stop bigotry all night.

They are not having a new stadium or an improved swamp paid for out of taxpayers money. Best they will get is improved public transport infrastructure out of public funds.

All ready got two maybe 3 metro lines what do they want high speed 2 straight to the swamp so they can get back to London quicker

 

[CC1]

No, quite the opposite

In what way?

 

[JGL07]

So let's get this straight....

We did a deal whereby we got the Council out of a hole by basically buying out a stadium that was of no further use once the Commonwealth Games were over, and we went on a huge development spree which is still ongoing, and we did it plus significantly upgrading the quality of the squad whose home it would be. And we did it with our own money, handouts not required. Yet we are castigated by the EPL who want to put a stop to this progression.

And now it becomes official policy that the rags are going to have a 100,000 capacity stadium built for them at hard-pressed taxpayers expense, no questions asked.

Hypocrisy by the shitload....

Absolute paranoid bullshit.

The City of Manchester Stadium would never have been built without an agreement for City (or someone else?) to take it over after the Games.

And there is zero chance of any public money going into the 'Wembley of the North' apart from transport links. Apart from anything else Central and Local Government are skint and the backlash from 95% of the population would be mega.

 

[foggy1974]

City didn't pay his wages while he was banned from entering the area?

That's not the same as sacking him

 

[Blue Llama]

In what way?

No public purse money for a rags stadium

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Not sure City will leak anything. Not their style.

Haha, really?

Nice reverse Clarkie!!

 

[KS55]

Did we ???

I thought we didn't renew his contract

Prior to end of contract we stopped paying him. He sued when acquitted. Not sure where that’s at.

 

[Mr Fraser]

Harsh. On house bricks

 

[super_city_si]

I might be wrong, but City's handling and public comments on the APT case seem to me to have marked a change in attitude. The club seems much more combative than before.

If the '115' case has a satisfactory outcome, there'll be plenty of libellous comments from our detractors as they react. I'm also not sure that we will, but I hope in that case to see City go in hard with aggressive legal action against a couple of the worst offenders. We may not change their perception of us, but it wouldn't hurt to show those people that they need to take care in terms of how they express themselves.

I think the tide has turned. We tried nice and it ultimately got us here. I think khaldoon is done with nice as evidenced with we’re not taking anymore ‘pinches’. Any further transgressions will be met with a swift response. I hope so anyway.

He won the majority of the case.
I think City had to pay him over £10m.

All bias aside I'll be well pissed off if government money goes to a private business worth billions while everyone is copping more taxes and less spending.

Even for transport links, surely that money could be better spent.

[moomba]

Official policy?

I read something today which said the government has adopted the plan.

Will try and find a link.

 

[KS55]

That's not the same as sacking him

Oh yes it is. It’s called constructive dismissal.(breaking the contract)

 

[grandsolo]

Looks like he backs winners.

You misspelt rapist, racist, cheating, stupid cunts

 

[jrb]

From what I've read, the Government money/hand out isn't for the stadium, its for infrastructure and the surrounding area around the stadium.

The Government and United know there would be a massive outcry if the Government gave United tax payers money to build the new stadium.

It's like City asking the Government for money towards the Etihad Campus, the Collar site, and another Metrolink station.

No public purse money for a rags stadium

Hope you’re right. Has that been stated ??

 

[Lost for words]

You can read it in today's Mail or Guardian. As you know, the papers never lie....

Official policy?
