PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Chatgpt is your friend

A peck is a unit of dry volume measurement, primarily used in agriculture. In the U.S. and U.K., a peck equals 8 dry quarts or 1/4 of a bushel.


So, when Peter Piper "picked a peck of pickled peppers," it means he gathered about 8 quarts (or roughly 9 liters) of pickled peppers. However, since pickled peppers are usually prepared rather than picked, the phrase is more of a tongue-twister than a literal statement!

Unless he was in a shop, choosing from a selection of pecks of pickled peppers, or other items.

TWIB: This Week in Bizball

What happens to Newcastle when the hangover wears off, Abu Dhabi's global importance and why Leeds are the new Fulham

Al Mubarak sat opposite Trump and Vance is a stark reminder that the 115 allegations involve a senior executive who is sat at the very top table on the global stage. It would take some craft for the Independent Commission to make serious findings of wrong doing against City that somehow did not involve the club’s Chairman since 2008. Al Mubarak, who celebrates his 50th birthday this year (like me, as Jim White exclusively broke on Talksport), is CEO of Mubadala, one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds (AUM over $300bn). He also holds senior positions within the Government of Abu Dhabi, including as a member of the Executive Council since 2006, a member of the Supreme Council for Financial and Economic Affairs, and as the founding chairman of the Executive Affairs Authority. He has much to lose if he really risked it all to sign Roque Santa Cruz in 2009.

It was a terrible signing tbf!

Have you ever seen that Family Guy skit where someone is just inventing units of measurements?

Feels a bit like that. A peck is a quarter of a bushel is it? How big is that? Oh, its 8 dry quarts. Well that explains everything.

Only Mangala was worse financially I would think.

I wonder pound for pound who was our best ever signing from a financial point of view? Bell probably but Alvarez in with a shout off the top of my head.

I'm old enough to remember them, I'm pretty sure we were taught them in school in fact. The wife won't use metric measurements still, as she doesn't understand them :)

Phillips might be in with a shout.

HIT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AGUEROOOOOOOOO

 

[SouthStandStander]

I personally think that if we haven't heard the verdict by page 9320, the thread should be locked until we do.
Then when the verdict drops, the thread can resume with a title edit of
"City are still alive here... see page 9320"

Lock it. Lock the thread. Do it now!

"Aguerooooooo. I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again".

I was going to say Mendy but we did get one or two good games out of him.

So watch it, drink it in.

Yes that didn’t work out at all. I think Mangala cost more particularly allowing for inflation, and he was paid a fortune too.
