To be fair, I do love a good witch burning.

Witch burning! these are modern times and the frenzied woke mobs say the ducking stool is more humane and zero carbon friendly.

100% this. All clubs should be fully registered in the country they're based in. Otherwise kick them out.

The romantic/nostalgic side of me kind of agrees but when City are the very heartbeat of CFG, that's a bit of a hypocritical stance, no?

Can’t decide if you’re Sean Connery or Steve McClaren?

It's an old Private Eye-ism.

Ffs, can someone please slag us off, even the wattsapp wankers, anything to get this thread back on track.

By the way, who was the one that always wore a mask ?

Hang on. I’m offended for ducks here. It’s not fair on ducks to call it a ducking stool. Either call it something else or you’ll have to change the method of death

Not really as we'd conform anyway

You could change the d for an f, but I think 9 out of 10 ducks would say you are quackers.

Never let the truth get in the way of a well oiled conspiracy theory in the making mate ;)

To be proper "eritage" you have to be registered in the Cayman Islands and be organic or sumfink.

We'd be that scrutinised we'd have to count the hairs after shaving:-)
but that's not really what I was asking...

CFG is a UK registered company.

... is it not a bit hypocritical to demand all English clubs tax affairs be domiciled in the UK but it's okay to expect say, Melbourne or New York to not have their affairs domiciled in Australia, USA etc?

(I'm sure all if the CFG clubs are compliant in their respective territories but my question about hypocrisy is more to do with ethics than practice)

Such a demnd would create problems* for CFG is what I am saying.

*Probably not insurmountable problems in practice, mind. Those with money can usually afford to rewrite the rules... but it's hardly ethical to insist upon one standard in your own country whilst profiting from doing differently in another.

Clubs sort their tax affairs out in their home countries, within their books there will be transactions with cfg. Not really any different to any other other international business.

Pretty sure they are.

Yeah, that sounds fair enough.
Pretty much answers my question and washes away my concerns in a polite and succinct manner. Thank you.

I see that the BBC have sent Simon Stone to Bangkok to cover the match of the millennium.

Yep, apparently a press conference for last year’s Carabao Cup winners before a pre season friendly is the biggest story in football today, according to the BBC
