PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

With those kind of figures the club should actually go out and get a different company to Etihad to sponsor us. That would shut the lot of them up.

They'll simply change the narrative again by claiming the the Sheikh is funding the sponsorship via an illegal route.
Honestly, I don't give a flying fib about what rival fans think about this club.
I pity anyone seeking validation from outside our fanbase.

There is an argument that Etihad will pay a premium to be associated with the stadium infrastructure and shirt that no other club in Europe will do because City fans and the world will always think of the stadium as the Etihad.

Their home attendance isn't that clever, to be honest. City's highest attendance last season was around 55,000 (capacity) and we averaged around 53,000. Not bad. Liverpool's highest is around 60,000 (capacity) but they averaged 55,000. So that's an average of 5000 empty seats.

Our capacity isn't 55k it's around 53.5k

We tried but covid meant no takers. I think the idea was to split the shirt and the stadium sponsorships.

Wait till City’s money men realise they can sell £10 tickets and fill the early leavers seats for 30 minutes of the second half. We might have a 60,000 attendance in a 53,500 capacity stadium……….

Sheffield fucking Hallam again. I particularly liked this little piece of precision academic analysis:

"Dr Wilson added: “A transfer embargo I think is almost a guarantee because they have to provide some level of sporting sanction which then would explain why they've suddenly gone into the market and are signing potentially four players.. Well definitely bringing three in I think, aren't they, potentially four so, yeah"."

Jesus Christ! Where even to start with this heap of shit? I've just looked up Professor Rob Wilson's own description of his career on his university's website. As someone who, in the last few years, has been teaching at a university as a sideline to my main career, I see much that's admirable and worthy in that pedagogical environment. Certainly, I'm far from hostile to academia and I hope that no one forms an impression to the contrary.

On the other hand, I have observed that it's an environment that does from time to time allow utter charlatans to flourish, and I'd posit that this **** betrays every sign of being one of them. He seems to me to be a contemptible rogue who exhibits almost zero real-world knowledge in any aspect of his field of purported expertise, though as he sells himself as a specialist in finance, I'll leave comments on his skills that area to posters more qualified in it than I am.

But as he's commenting above on a matter of law, I am qualified to assess his aptitude in that sphere. My considered view is that he's legally illiterate. It's like asking Jack Duckworth to explain the theory of relativity, but it's worse than that. What's damaging is that he has a veneer of credibility that might induce people into thinking he's worth listening to, and such a layperson, in expecting enlightenment from his words, will be grievously misled.

"Veneer of credibility" is a perfect description for such persons.
