anyone know how bad ass these shieks are?

This is clearly BS... if he graduated in 2003 he would need to do the LPC course which he would have finished in 2004. It takes 2 years as a trainee to qualify as a solicitor so he would have qualified in 2006 not 2005.

Now im not one to get upset at the insinuations aimed by others, on the contrary,I find it highly amusing, however jockstraps like this I really can't fathom...... why would you try to discredit someone on a subject you clearly know very little or nothing about? Your probably a solicitor which would make it all the more negligible, Donahue and his mate Stephenson will be turning in the proverbial graves. Do tell the audience master yoda on the benefits of specialist PSC when one is working in local government, I'm intrigued. And the advantages, of the timing variety that it is, to taking the HRAT instead of other PSC electives........ the SRA's regulations state what my good fellow?

The problem here cambridge is you have been taken in by negativity aimed by half heads who, when not privy to info, throw gi joe out the pram. Don't confuse the way I post as a marker for my intelligence, you'd be grossly mistaken

Now in my broadest m14 accent................ DO1.

Firstly it should be "insinuations of others"

Secondly it is you're not your

Thirdly it would be negligent not negligible they are two completely different words:

negligible, adj. - Not significant or important enough to be worth considering; trifling.

negligent adj. -

1. Characterized by or inclined to neglect, especially habitually.
2. Characterized by careless ease or informality; casual.
3. (In Law) Guilty of negligence.

Finally are you referring to Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] A.C. 562? I think you will find it was Mrs Donoghue and defendant Mr Stevenson a soft drink manufacturer from Paisley...

Given your many elementary mistakes of grammar and a seemingly strange lack of knowlege of seminal cases that any first year undergraduate would know I am no more convinced by your story than before.

I am not aware of the HRAT (and could find nothing on the SRA website or Google relating to it) but then I do admit I don't really know anything about local government solicitors as my field is corporate and commercial law. I did check out their recruitment brochure however and all of the trainees on it had done the LPC so it obviously isn't as "pointless" as you make out.

Cambridgeblue, your point about Donoghue v Stevenson was your fourth correction, not another third one.

Apologies if pointing that out makes me look like a pompous pedantic bore...

They are part funding the metrolink from what I have been told...& it is going to be rushed through...

First of all, if I ever saw John Terry run out at COMS wearing a sky blue shirt... I would instantly vomit.

However, if I was to see Mourinho prowling within the home technical area... I would instantly enter a rabid fit of ejaculation with an awe-struck look across my face.

Just thought you'd all like to know.

if it is BS its clearly BS of a more cloudy variety.

Something people need to bear in mind is that to Mansour, City are just a tiny, tiny part of his business empire. We're one of hundreds of companies he owns. If people think he sits around worrying about which players Manchester City are going to sign, then i suspect they'll be very wrong. He has shares in banks, huge multinational companies, vast amounts of property in that London, i'd be surprised if City accounted to more than 0.1% of his overall business portfolio. That's not to say he doesn't want the best for us, just that it's unlikely to be him that makes the decisions about the football side of the operation. This is why Khaldoon's here, he's the link, but admittedly not a football man. Hughes and his team will make ALL of the football decisions, Cook runs the business side of things, and they both report to Mubarak who in turn reports to the big man.

I highly doubt Mansour & Khaldoon sit around talking fantasy football. If Hughes wants Eto'o, Ribery and Tevez he'll tell Cook and Khaldoon, and if they think it's feasible then Cook will make moves for them. If Hughes wants, say, Lescott, Parker & Santa Cruz then we'll go for those. Our owners are already proving a great asset to the club, and by the sounds of it they're here long-term, but they won't be buying players over the managers head, they won't be making mangerial changes unless their advisors think it absolutely necessary, and they won't be sat around 24/7 discussing the merits of us signing Thierry Henry, or Micah Richards poor form. We're a very small part of their business, and with that i think we try and remain moderately realistic.

Also, the owners appear very keen to come across well, both to the fans and the media, and not to quickly gather a reputation, as other foreign owners have, of being sack-happy, throwing their weight around, dabbling behind the scenes. I think they want to win friends in the game, and this is why i think they'll give Hughes at least another season to prove himself.

one word only required to completely invalidate your post.....


Kaka

Hmmmmm. Care to explain. You think Mansour personally ordered us to go after Kaka?

i've just spent 45 minutes reading through all these posts, and I have to say it is fascinating,exciting and at the same time quite hard to believe,because after all, this is City. I have also read some of Zimmers comments on MEN site (though not really been n there since January, and what he posted was minimal but was certainly accurate for the best part. Its all conjecture and a case of trusting the word of fellow City fans, and I for one enjoy being linke with top name managers and players. We have come such a long wy this last couple of seasons, and we are progressing faster and faster. whatever happens this summer, you can bet your mortgage it will be far more exciting than welcoming Bernado Corradi and the likes to the club. bring it on!
