PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I'm sure the delay is due to the amount of stuff being written up and the fact the guys have other commitments too. But lets not forget the fact that Starmer recently visited the UAE to discuss relations. He was met by Khaldoon off the plane and walked on a nice Blue carpet.

Although some may say it's just coincidence but I'm sure at some point during those conversations, a word was had with Starmer

I genuinely don't think anything needs to be said.

Our owners mix in the highest circles and have investments worth far more than City to them. They just wouldn't have risked breaking rules certainly not through financial fraud.
 
I always laugh when someone mentions the lighthouse at Fleetwood. I've got a business in Blackpool and about 20 years ago employed a lady from Fleetwood. She was a bit rough and she and her husband were heavy drinkers. One Friday I asked if she was doing anything that weekend. She said that they was going to see the Lighthouse Family. I never knew she was into music and I asked where they were playing. She looked bemused and said she meant she was going to meet with the pissheads that used gather and drink by the lighthouse!!!
I bet that lifted her spirits...
 
It's still batting...

Market Hall has been 'done up', the ferry was almost history recently but has had a stay of execution.

Lighthouses still there including the one, known as The Wrek about 2 miles out in the sea which has a RNLI walk to every year, 21/06 this year.

It's quieter than it was when I visited as a child in the 70's but still has it's moments, busiest day is Tram Sunday where you can't move for people in the town centre (19/07) and is well worth a trip up for.

Nice prom to walk on, if there's no discharge from the Water board a pretty clean sea and plenty of sand.

Ferries haven't run for years and years and no fishing boats now.

The boating lakes are still there and are popular with kids crabbing in summer.

Pubs nothing special though, the highlight is The Steamer owned by Syd Little but the beer isn't good there.
mostly that's good news, nice one.

i had no idea syd little was a local,
but you have reminded me that the fella who started the fisherman's friend company was from there (and maybe the factory was there too?)
plus, that the town was named after a rich bloke with a double-barreled name ending in fleetwood who spent all his money on developing it into a town.

the bourne arms!

that was the name of the pub in knott end we used to eat at and have a pint of proper ale when i used to drive my grandfather over for the day in his later years.

maybe it's still around and an excuse for you to jump on the ferry.

Yeah the pubs still there on the other side of the river.

Fisherman's Friend is I think now run by a lady who chucks quite a bit of money into the town infrastructure.

Made me literally laugh out loud anyway.

as you come off the roundabout from Fleetwood heading towards Cala Gran on Fleetwood road either just before the turn off for the tip or just after you will see a sunken bungalow behind some bushes, if my memory is correct it was Syd Littles house

great knowledge.

if we are name-dropping tv duos and public houses,
my grandfather's local was called the wheatsheaf, in a small place called newhey, between oldham and rochdale.

it was half owned by bobby ball
(who co-incidentally was in the same junior class at school as my mother)
from the duo cannon and ball, rock on tommy.


and to add to the list...
10 years ago i moved back to newhey for a while to help my mother deal with her dying husband and dying sister.
during that time i rented a large bungalow that was originally owned by don estelle,
half of a duo with windsor davies that later found fame as lofty in it ain't half hot mum.
 
Although if we accept the “reputation is everything” theory then it would make sense to carry on with business as usual.
 
Pep Guardiola stand open, haaland 10 year deal, puma record breaking deal, expansion deal with Revolut, Guehi and semenyo in the door, hotel sorted, bid in for Anderson.

We're clearly guilty and about to get relegated.....
I can’t see Pep wanting his name plastered all over the ground forever if we’re about to get pied on the charges.

Is that on Ocean Drive?
 
City wouldn’t need Pannick to tell them they are bang to rights, if they had done what is accused against them.
I think I may have over-simplified my comments. When we talk about 'bang to rights' there is also the matter of interpretation. Pannick's team may interpret things in one way and the kangaroo court may have a different interpretation. It's not a court of law where interpretation sets precedents for future cases. What makes it worse is that we're not talking about the law and legality here - we're talking about a commercial entity (the Prem) owned by the Prem clubs and drafting rules that need to be agreed with the member clubs. This is why I can see the club finding a way of getting this matter into a proper court for a more definitive ruling.
