To be honest, given the disclosures around Newcastle, I’d say the last thing the PL want is a stonewall case !Given how much HMG clearly leaned on them over the NUFC takeover it’s impossible to hold to the view that they didn’t know what they were taking on when they issued all those charges against MCFC.
Which makes you think they either had a stonewall case - they haven’t - or they were under immense pressure to bring the charges anyway.
Unemployment shaming. Shocking.116 ....... them nasty city fans singing sack in the morning
Spot on Chris ...... as usual!Given how much HMG clearly leaned on them over the NUFC takeover it’s impossible to hold to the view that they didn’t know what they were taking on when they issued all those charges against MCFC.

Me too Ric along with a lifetime commitment from the cnuts, of no further 'trumped' up (see what i did there!) charges ........everrrrrr!!!!I’d probably take that, tbh.
PIF promised to invest 30 billion in the UK.
The failure of the Newcastle takeover was deemed an "immediate risk" to relations between the 2 countries.
This lead to the government leaning on the PL to get the Newcastle United takeover accepted.
I don’t doubt that if Crafton’s involved, he’ll be anxious to kickstart the narrative that any government that tries to interfere with football is morally reprehensible (expect Barney and Miguel to be sharpening their pencils in similar vein), whilst simultaneously planting the notion that any City victory at the PL Tribunal will be the result of a dirty political deal. Never forget, the real prize is always to try and nobble CityInteresting. I'm not sure the Glazers, Henry, Levy and other assorted bottom-feeders realise who they are dealing with here.
From what I can see, Saudi seem to be moving away from the US and UK, certainly in terms of not caring about their support for Russia and China?
They know the future reserve currency will be the Chinese Yuan.
Historically, I don't think any country has held the reserve currency for more than 110 years which was Spain.
Britain held it for 105 years.
US currently on 102 I think
I wouldn’t. I want us to be categorically and definitively cleared of wrongdoingI’d probably take that, tbh.
