PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I couldn’t agree less. What chelsea have done may be legal but if selling hotels basically to yourselves is revenue for psr purposes these are probably the transactions that show more than anything what a corrupt crock of shit psr is, and how bent the premier league is. Absolutely daft, and no way would it be allowable for psr if we’d done it. So it may be legal, it’s certainly clever, but it’s ad bent as fuck

We are currently building a hotel. A massive hotel.

The fact you think this qualifies you to discount the belief systems of the entire human race, something independently invented by every single culture in the entire world, is just the absolute peak of arrogance.

Spirituality is part of neurology, for the record. Religious feelings are built into the biology of every human being at a fundamental level which is probably why almost every single human being in history, from untouched Amazonian tribes to proto-civilizations in the Indus Valley region, for the 12,000 years of human settlements before around 1900 believed in some sort of spirituality.

And you weighed up the evidence? Can you explain what you believe the energy levels of higher dimensional spacetime are please? What's your thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of abiogenesis from the conclusions of Miller-Urey? What's the key to the logarithmic sized gaps between the SM and Planck sizes? Doesn't that seem incomplete to you?

Whilst I'm not exactly religion's best friend, don't pretend that your answer for whether a creator exists lies in the realms of evidence and science.

I'm not sure what has triggered you, here.
You have begun a diatribe of perplexing argument tangents.
You want to flex your scientific muscles? Go ahead. But you will not find the answer in an equation, or an unproven cosmic anomaly.
Religious beliefs are not built into scientific mysteries, but in the biology and psychology of humans.
You bestow religion with an innate consciousness as if it is separate from human evolutionary traits. It is not. It is the manifestation of primal fear in each human being, wherever they are, in whichever culture. Fear of death links them all.
What connects all the thousands of religions developed throughout history is human beings interpreting their environment with limited knowledge of why death was/is so arbitrary. There is no need to search any further than that.
If you want to, go for it. Enjoy your journey.

Talk about arrogant - "Just like religious Johnny's do, you are reading one definition of a multifaceted term to defend an entrenched position."

In addition you speak in absolutes, you put people in boxes, you're sensitive to criticism, you're over dramatic, you want the last word and you have a need for admiration.

You may like to label yourself as atheist but those are all the hallmarks of a religious nut. He was right in what he said. You don't know what you are.

The word "arrogance" seems to be floated about a lot, recently.
How religion positions itself in society is the heart of arrogance.

But evidence of impartial application of the rules undermines the PL case. City have always held that the investigation is biased and the whole regulatory process is not regulation per se but the operation of a cartel behind a rule book so that there is one rule for the new entrant, and another rule for the established clubs.

IMO the PSR regulatory framework is a mess and not even defended by people who believe that such a process is necessary.

I think it is valid to argue that "whataboutery" won't cut much ice in City's case but the argument that the PL has introduced a whole battery of regulations not to guarantee sustainability or ensure "financial fair play" but as a weapon to be used by a small number of clubs against their rivals might explain why we are still waiting for a decision. If the PL's evidence against City is flimsy or non-existent City may well have broadened the attack to bring the whole shambolic regulations and their application into the case, maintaining that they have nothing to do with integrity or honesty but are actually unlawful in large parts and are clearly aimed at discriminating against certain easily identifiable clubs for the benefit of certain other easily identifiable clubs. City's case would be that the club is in no way guilty of false accounting, has never disguised owner investment as sponsorship income, but that the 115 charges were simply one step in a campaign to destroy the club to render it incapable of rivalling a group of hitherto successful clubs. further clearly discriminatory measures have been introduced, steps which are unlawful because they apply one standard to one set of clubs and a quite different standard to City, and Newcastle and others. If the IC believes there is great merit in this argument the PL will certainly want time to respond before its whole edifice comes crashing down - and a quick bit of tinkering certainly wouldn't do this time.
 
Quick question:

If Ric is not real,where did my £5 ad free payment go?

Hope this isn’t another work around by City to pass PSR? -:)

That would mean Ric is an Abu Dhabi sleeper cell…
