She is executive isn't she? It isn't clear to me, tbh, but if she is, she will have to answer a few questions too, surely, when the PL can't land the most serious allegations? But, even if she isn't, all the non-executives should be at risk too, by the way, for failing miserably in their roles...

Abu Dhabi is an emirate, so it's the equivalent of saying United is America-owned, which it clearly is not. The correct term would be Emirati-owned, which is the equivalent of American-owned. They know what they are doing.

If I remember properly, the tribunal said something along the lines that she had been closer to the operations of the EAG assessment than would be typical for a non-executive director (including communicating directly with Nielsen) and that her role was borderline executive. Half full or half...

Undeniably true. People get confused by the difference between executive and non-executive. At City as well. And by the use of the word board to just mean an executive committee. Mind you, at the PL the non-executives seem to work as executives: carrying out FMV assessments, lobbying for the...

A point I made about Vienna a couple of months ago, as well.

While I am on Sun Tzu: "When ten to the enemy’s one, surround him; When five times his strength, attack him; If double his strength, divide him…”

It was certainly losted in the decades before ....

Strangely enough, I was just writing about Herschel conducting musical events organised by one of my ancestors. And yes, it wasn't 115 years ago. Small world.

Just get the fuckers with the whistle to apply the rules properly. Running into a goalkeeper to stop him playing the ball while not making an attempt to play the ball yourself is an offence. Just blow the bloody whistle every time. It would soon stop. I get the impression the powers that be...

That's actually quite interesting, although it leaves one group of comments out: analytical. And that is by far the most interesting group of comments. Because nowhere else, has provided a neutral assesment of the likely outcome: not the press, not social media and certainly not other fans...

Geneva branch :)

"He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious." My old boss gave me a copy of that book when I first started working with him and said I would need it. My God, was he right.

:) Never trust anything from that profession without analysing exactly what was said. If it happens that everyone knew the outcome months ago, he would be able to say "well yes, but we didn't have the verdict, and as so we didn't know what was in it". They spend half their lives defending or...

At what point will it become more plausible to you than it just naturally taking a long time? There must come a tipping point. Personally, I'm not completely there yet, but I am much closer to it than I was three months, even one month ago. The likelihood of something going on that we don't...

Better still: If you are reading this, Soriano, you are a ****. Every City fan thinks you are a ****. Just retire, for fuck's sake. And: If you are reading this, Sheikh Mansour / Khaldoon, just do the fanbase a favour and make the **** Soriano take early retirement. Then get a CEO in who...

Why use two words when you can charge for seven?

It's what happens when you let lawyers loose on anything. Accountants would have had all this finished off months ago.

The people running football are all out-of-touch cunts. FIFA, UEFA, PL, clubs - it doesn't matter. All fucking cunts. How difficult can it be to do it better?

Well, fuck. I voted loss just because of this post.

How do you know it's offside? Because VAR says so? Then you need to explain to me why you are so sure the SAOT system works so accurately ....
