He’s usually like this, even when discussing arsenal.Blimey…I’m speechless with this unbiased clear thought content.
And spouted from a Gooner of all people…now I’ve seen it all…fair play to the chap.
This definitely needs to be shoved down the throats of the main stream & social media channels to gain some traction & actually get people to think instead of getting force fed one opinion on this subject.
That’s why a lot of arsenal fans hate him : )
The PL is bound by UK law and therefore statute of limitationsSo this is the issue. UK Law has a statute of limitations spanning 6 years, however the PL has no statute of limitations.
As I've been saying all day, it seems our case comes down to UK Law vs UEFA/PL rules.
It seems it's this & other instances like the fit & proper person test relating to Ambramovich & Usmanov etc, which have prompted the government to create an Independent Regulator for English Football (IREF).
By the look of things, the PL's shot themselves in the foot introducing FFP the way they have.

I didn't anticipate all this having it with Chelsea at the Full Members Cup Final. I feel old.

The Premier League has been totally disingenuous about our situation. Compare how they announced their charges against us with how they announced Everton's charges.
Everton.
"In accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1, the Premier League confirms that it has today referred an alleged breach of the League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules by Everton Football Club to a Commission under Premier League Rule W.3.4. The assessment period for which it is alleged that the Club is in breach is the period ending Season 2021/22."
City.
"In accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1, the Premier League confirms that it has referred a number of alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules by Manchester City Football Club (Club) to a Commission under Premier League Rule W.3.4."
Very similar, but in our case, they very helpful added every single charge, including "for Seasons 2016/17 and 2017/18, Premier League Rules E.53 to E.60." (8 separate charges under Profit and Sustainability, but not mentioned in the Everton announcement).
This creates a false narrative that Everton were guilty of just one breach, whilst City broke the rules 115 times. The PL deliberately created this scenario, and they have done nothing to correct the misinformation.
Together with the timing of our announcement, this stinks of a PL hatchet job on us, instigated by our rivals, as an attempt to stave off regulation whilst at the same time besmirching our name.
There are other strange anomalies on our rap sheet, such as the five charges for failing to comply with "B.14.6. the statutes and regulations of UEFA". How they can charge us with failing to comply with UEFA, when there is no proven charge from UEFA against us in the years specified, is beyond stupid. It wouldn't need Lord Pannick to successfully argue that one in a tribunal.
That doesn’t make sense to be fair. Neither of the underlying set of charges you refer to there apply to Everton, thats not a false narrative.
The Uefa one is due to give what they’ve charged us with, by default they’re saying we must have given false information to Uefa too.

It's the 'balance of probability ' statement the premier league seem to hide behind that worries me the most. It's their 'we can't prove anything but they must have done it' argument and it's never contested

I’d draw the line on this penalty:
Was there scenes when power equalised

Spot on about the Academies
City and Chelsea, the best 2 Academies by far, making millions or producing Top Class Players for their own teams.
Admits his own Club can't produce or sell Fuck all, and the others likewise.
Utter jealousy, Old money being well and truly fucked by smart new money and they don't like it.
Much prefer us to fire Ducker and Wallace, in no particular order!The Telegraph reporting that the bid by the Barclay family to regain control of the paper is likely to succeed. They are being loaned 1.2 billion by an investment company in which Sheikh Mansour is the main investor.
Positive coverage incoming.
