PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[chesterbells]

Becky Anderson on CNN has said she is interviewing Khaldoon this afternoon at Kavos, host of the World Economic Forum…

Has that been broadcast now? Is it to view anywhere?

Jordan is a twat who looks like a **** in that outfit. Or maybe I've got that the wrong way round.

Would he say 'vested parties' about an American sponsor of an American owned club? And throwing in Enron just as the interview is ending like a fucking child.

I thought you stood your ground brilliantly & told them how it is rather than how they want it to be. Well done.

Not sure how he thinks this case is similar to Enron. I suppose it makes him sound informed though.

One thing I have never heard is a sensible premise for the case against City. They are seriously thinking that two large companies, both in regulated markets, and supported by one of the richest governments on the planet needed to take, what to them is, peanuts from a private individual to meet sponsorships entered into at fair value? It just doesn't make any sense. Even less sense when they say Mansour has influence over the two companies because of his position. If he had that much influence he could just tell them to pay it themselves. It's a weird argument to make even before you consider the lack of evidence.

All comes down to the fact they think Etihad don’t have a pot to piss in……. Not only are the payments fake, the planes are all owned by Sheik Mansour, & Formula 1 Grand Prix is just a cover to hide equity investment.

Meanwhile ‘Infinite Athlete’ is a real deal, rinky dink, bonefide, kosher, fair dinkum sponsor.

Exactly, Masters and a the PL are totally out of there depth here and have gone way too far . Something will have to give at some stage the stakes are so high . Masters has pushed himself to the point of no return with this for sure ……..

I agree the stakes are high but just as high for the cartel clubs, that's why they've ended up with a puppet like Masters, knowone with any credibility would touch the job whilst it's being controlled by the cartel.

Well they were never going to post "Financial expert thinks it's impossible for the PL to prove so many people and company's were in on the fraud" That headline would of pissed off the rabid Rags and Scousers.

Why not? Imagine the outrage & interaction they’d get rather than waiting until everyone says City are cleared.

Ffs it’s @projectriver and his name is Stefan.

Some cunts are calling him Stephen, Simon, Susan ffs.

Well said Stony Rosy. ;)

Simon Notwithstanding Jordan is a complete dick.

I was just using the example of how thick media folk behave to demonstrate that Stefan is nothing like that. He wouldn’t tackle Jordan as it’s a useless tactic. He used his time to continue to state the facts.
He came across as well informed & quietly confident. That’s the kind of person he is. He’s never going to attack Jordan for his interruptions & snide remarks and actually, that’s what the f***** wants so he can have a loud argument using his very long words. Stefan isn’t the sort to fall for that & it worked. He just continued to put his point across and it’s the first time someone has fully explained how serious the accusations are- and thus it takes time to resolve. Furthermore the onus is on the PL to progress the case as they are the accusers.

Stefan played Jordan like a harp which is why they cut short the interview

I liked this post

I know I am just frustrated with it all and at times get pissed off

I love this club and invest a lot, just like we all do

This hurts at times

And a lot of people still can’t get their heads around why any company would pay a big wedge to sponsor little old city or that some companies are astute, objective and can pick a winner
