That's not entirely true. Sports organisations have exemptions that allow them to have members agree on different rules that CAN conflict with statute. A prime example of this is competitions based on gender or age. Specific legal medications excluding you from competition etc. We already have...

It's not. The PL rules operate differently which was one of the many differences between PL and UEFA. That's why we are here still waiting for an outcome. We all want it to be an open and shut case, but there are two sets of highly paid legal teams who have only just completed their...

I could be wrong on this but having perfectly legal and legitimate accounts doesn't necessarily mean you haven't broken PL rules. The way we interpret or report certain dealings can be legal but the PL may argue we didn't report them in the manner they required. This is one of the worries...

We've had an entirely predictable pattern of play for at least 3 seasons but we've been very good at overcoming attempts to thwart it. Teams have progressively gotten better at playing against us and we haven't changed anywhere near enough. Combine that with key players reaching their twighlight...

Asian grooming gangs exist. Eastern European sex trafficking exists. White European paedophile rings exist. Sexual abuse within religious groups exists. Domestic violence exists. None of these facts are a reason to riot against Asians, Eastern Europeans, white Europeans, religious groups or...

Most children abuse in UK happens amongst white skinned males and usually known to the family. Let's not let facts get in the way.

Whenever you set rules you are effective creating a dam. Water will then be forced to find an alternative route. In the same way, clubs are forced to find an alternative route and not always one that was envisaged. This is the law of unintended consequences. When those unintended consequences...

I don't think we can assume anything at this point. I expect the initial integrity of the hearing to be maintained whilst a report is produced. Thereafter, it'll inevitably end up in the hands of a wider audience and leaked. We're just not there yet.

Sanity from Samuel. Sadly, such succinct sensibility is so seldom seen.

An example of breaching fair market value was receiving 200k for a house on a street where all other houses sold for 90 to 110k which at face value seems logical. However if you're very confident in your abilities and see such potential for the house that 200k isn't an issue and you are...

You'd honestly think it was the end of football. We had a hundred years of people spending what they wanted and no single team dominated for the duration. United and Liverpool had the longest periods of dominance and won far more than we have. It's not even clear which aspects of the rules we...

Gutted, but fair play - they put in more effort and wanted it more. We can't win everything, but it still hurts. I'd have taken the league and lost the cup a couple of weeks ago. Oh well.

They look absolutely up for it (understandably) - we don't. Simple as that. By the time we've tried to up our game they were already 2-0 up and buzzing. 11 men behind the ball now (our own fault) and just catching us on the break 1-2 - Come on City!

We've been complacent and United playing very well. Now they have all the momentum. Terrible half

We look rattled. FFS 0-2

Arguably that would still fall outside of 'its' (the club's) contracts with the manager. If it can be proven City did indeed orchestrate the entire thing, and simply funnel payments through Al Jazeera then, that's another matter - in which case the outgoing monies FROM City should be on the...

The commonly held view is that Mancini was paid 'on the side' via a deal to provide consulting services to another company. However any manager can do a bit of work on the side and the details of the 3rd party contracts are unknown to the club. Even if they are known and deemed 'relevant' they...

He merges the shite he acquires from the web

Of all fanbases, they should know about campaigns to discredit and how innocent folks can be portrayed to be guilty and judged by millions who don't bother to discover the facts. Ironic how they are so quick to apportion guilt.
