PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[HarrytheBlue]

He has no obligation whatsoever to tell City whether they’re “guilty “ or not.
He has an obligation to act in the client’s best interest and to hold the Premier League to the required standard of proof.

Disagree with your first point. A matter of interpretation of rules. He has a duty to advise the club so they don't misrepresent themselves - acting in the club's best interests. Advice may well be 'Our interpretation is X, Y and Z but the rules are drafted in such a way that they can be interpreted in other ways'. For this reason, part of me hopes we can get this whole issue considered by a proper court for a binding ruling, even if it means having to deal with an appeal from the Prem if things go our way in that scenario.

Disagree at your leisure. He cannot advise City on their culpability- he doesn’t know.

think it might have been bognor regis on the south coast. some friends quit city life and opened a shop along the coast from there. went for a birthday party.

Was there a Butlins at Bognor Regis? I remember as a teenager going to a camp on the south coast with my uncles' family and my cousin and I looked forwarded to our daily escape from the pesky redcoats. Wonder if they are one of the reasons I hate teams that wear red!

Is Cala Gran still there?

Yeah but, has the problem being very close to a reopened landfill site on Jameson Rd which fucking stinks in various parts of town when the wind blows the wrong way.

There's always demos and such going on about it.

We really need a resolution to these charges. The comments section under any article about City reflects the damage done to our reputation. It’s amazing the rabid hatred rival fans have towards us, for allegedly spending a bit too much of our own money. For their own sakes, we need this sorted.

Yeah we took our kids for the weekend many years ago. Some special offer. Themed rooms. Kids ents. crabbing on the front. It did the job.

The Mods need to tidy up this thread.
We are currently discussing various seaside towns, celebrities who own pubs and Diane Ross.
Why people keep insisting on spamming the thread with 115 stuff I've no idea.

Oh and by the way , Im sure it was 6d for spotting the tower

It's being sorted.
We and the Premier league have no control over the panel's deliberations.
Patience is a virtue.

I think there is something in this, a scenario the PL will not want, then it really would get interesting, a real can of worms.
These PL meetings must be like rats in a sack.
All we want is a level playing field, the cartel are shitting themselves because we've dominated throughout.

My son used to live about 3 miles away in Thornton. Lovely area but if the wind blows in the wrong direction, ye gods. The tip and offending smell were raised in Parliament a few months ago, but as with everything * and any colour of Government, nothing ever gets done to rectify the problem.

Sort of apology for continuing the OT in the thread.

and don't forget physical tickets.

a season ticket would be like a book of raffle tickets. each game printed on it and you'd tear it out.

it's an even bigger joy comparison than comparing a physical book with a kindle.

I remember my Mother taking me in the fifties after we beat Birmingham City and Bert Trautman had his neck broken

First hard-on I’ve had in months.

Lucky sod.

Yep. There was and still is a Butlins at Bognor.

He’s paid the big bucks to know the law, analyze the case, advise his client, and represent his client. So I don’t understand why you say he can’t offer City advice.

He can offer advice but he can’t tell City ”you’re innocent / guilty”.

And you think being totally exonerated of all charges will put a stop to it?
