Had the chance to walk around the North Stand development today. It's a mighty impressive sight, reported to cost around £300m. Got me thinking, the building work started about 5 months after the day of the charges ie Feb 2023. Just think of all the logistics, the planning, the labour, the materials and all the complexity gone into progressing the North Stand. Meanwhile over in legal la la land 3 people, who are still anonymous, have been trying to work out if some bank transactions from the Middle East into Barclays bank in Manchester broke the PL rules. The cost of the legal work is also believed to be in the tens of millions.

What has this got to do with eggs?

But the Lyon situation is EXACTLY the situation United are in. La Ligue fear that Lyon’s debt is so high that they may fail as an entity and so affect the credibility of the first division.

They should be encouraged to spend as the only way they can recapture former glories.
Not proper thought out business plan over 5 years stuff of course but continual dipping into more and more debt.
Their fans deserve hope and just spending may eventually work. Like the lottery you've got to be in it to win it.

Topic was my Mum's favourite chocolate bar before she died, bless her.

She had dementia. I always laugh about how dementia is weird because she smoked like a chimney for 40 years but gave up because one day she just forgot she smoked and nobody bothered to mention it to her or wheel her outside.

But she never forgot two things. Kevin Keegan in the Liverpool era was the sexiest man alive and that when Corrie ends then it's time for a Topic bar, the patrician's choice of chocolate bars.

To what end, it does benefit us in any way to do so, also does the thick twat not understand that it is at the behest of an INDEPENDENT panel over which we have no control. He is endemic of a society where the stupid are given a wide platform to spout there ill informed opinions and the even more stupid feel they are educated by it.

It's an interesting proposition. Not because the suggestion has any merit, but because the idea that the reason we are waiting for the decision is that City are somehow dragging things out is so ludicrous that it illustrates quite clearly one particular point.

Anyone with the slightest experience of how quasi-judicial tribunals work will know that at this stage both City and the PL have done all they can to influence the process and outcome. The decision is now in the hands of the panel, and many have expressed extremely plausible explanations as to why the decision has taken as long as it has and may take longer still.

I don't blame Jim White for not knowing how these things work, because he's not a lawyer and I can't imagine he has any reason to know how they work. But Jim White does not wander into a studio at five to 10 and shoot from the hip. Their programmes are planned and thought about beforehand and questions like the ones he asked the lawyer from Lawrence Graham will have been talked about beforehand in production meetings. Moreover, a station like talksport has researchers, and other people in the building who could easily put him right on the suggestion that the delay in the decision is the result of some tactical move by City. Moreover Jordan, who is quite likely to have some experience of relatively hefty litigation, is more likely than not to know that neither party can at this stage do anything meaningful in terms of affecting the outcome.

So asking questions like "is this City kicking the can down the road" can only be mischievous. There seems to me to be no other plausible explanation.

TL:DR - this is just talksport shit-stirring.
