PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Blue Pete]

Wittgenstein's idea of category error towards Descartes is pointless. At best he's not even trying to answer the same question and at worst he's playing a language game.

Clearly not answering the same question because the question as Wittgenstein points out is not legitimate.
He might as well have said he knows he's got a hand (outside of specific relevant language games)

 

[Blue Pete]

I think you should reread those authors.

Wittgenstein (PI / OC not TLP) clearly sets out that Cartesian scepticism isnt just pointless its a category error. The sceptics 'doubt' fails to have any validity. I concede that an argument could be made that Descartes is playing a very specific language game, but if so its so divorced from reality and meaning as to be pointless.

(To be fair never read either in the original but I trust Anscombe's translation for obvious reasons, the question of the Descartes meditation translation has never come up so I'd struggle to justify it either way - but pretty sure its not really an issue)

If I had a pound for every time I clicked on this thread hoping for some news....
I'd have 8 quid.

I'd have £115

Surely nobody in philosophy plays a language game?

I'm not an accountant but this just seems like a blatant fiddle.

City do similar things. The Red Football story is a red herring. We always knew there were adjustments to the NYSE company numbers for PSR. Both UEFA and the PL get a different set of numbers to what we see.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

The problem with that is that Scott isn't deranged. They may be working together but Magic Twat is Harris.

Its not Harris.

He's not that clever.

Matt Scott has an axe to grind after he was kicked off a Talk Sport segment about City a couple years back.

Yes, though whether that forms part of the charges being discussed - amongst other issues - in this thread remains to be seen.

What can be said is that there is a reasonable business case for centralising certain operating costs (eg scouting or broader administrative costs) when you are part of a multi-club entity. There is a reasonable basis for saying in other words that those costs benefit the entire group and should therefore be borne by the entire group.

I'm not sure how United manage to justify almost £100m of debt being shouldered by the parent club rather than the UK subsidiary when the number of clubs in the United Football Group is currently 1.

CFG shoulders all the group debt so I'm not sure we have much of a case on that.

Cogito ergo ludum bonum loquor.

Stefan Borson he ain't.

He's not a Citeh shill for starters ;-)

Just watched the Lawyer on Talkshite...
Typical Lawyer... lots of words, says nothing... the meter keeps ticking...

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

I can’t wait to see Simon Jordan’s face when we finally win this fucking case. Hope the news breaks when you’re sat opposite him at Talkshite Towers mate :)

Red Football Ltd IS registered in the UK and that's the company whose accounts are submitted to the PL.

What we don't know is quite how much of its operating costs have been farmed out to the Caymans based company, whose accounts are not being submitted to the League.

1 rule for the cartel clubs

Oy- we don't want our back yard polluted thank you!

Come on, it's big enough to make the.plastic rubbish island a bit bigger without anyone noticing...

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

It's not the religion that causes problems. It's the nutters who get into power and bend the beliefs to their own warped ends. Which is what happens with the non religious like Hitler, masters, etc

Amended for you. ;-)

 

[Kazzydeyna]

Either has a soft spot for arsenal or pretending to be a arsenal fan to keep people off the scent

I actually think he’s neither. Arsenal were our biggest challengers when the main 115 news came out and so Nick made his other self an Arsenal fan.
If the 115 news had come out a few years earlier, Nick would’ve made his alter ego a Liverpool fan.

He basically just chose whomever was our biggest challengers at the time in order to camouflage his frankly weird and obsessive hatred of City and our owners.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Yes, it possibly would. But it wouldn't stop you from dying.
I think it is more accurate to state that in a plane crash situation; most folk, religious or non-religeous, would think of their loved ones above any belief system.
I pray I never find out ;)

Had a dream that I drove off the white cliffs.of Dover once.
On my way down, that's exactly.what/who I was thinking of...

 

[bluemonkey71]

Stefan Borson he ain't.

Watched it. Said a whole lot of nothing.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot weren't religious. Doubt Richard Masters is either.

Love that you've justifiably got him into a list with these guys...

Not sure Ludwig really gave proper Rene credit, you should perhaps read her on the subject of his critique.
