No. I think that would be very dangerous.

People are terrified of offending them, including our club unfortunately, hence the joint apology we issued when their ‘fans’ injured a teenage female Blue, and accepting a £1m settlement when they hacked our IT system.True, hopefully
But, idiots outnumber sensible a million to 1.
And, bizarrely, Dippers have managed to convince "sensible people" they are never at fault for anything!

Sorry - I didn't realise it was you I was replying to. The point I was (somewhat longwindedly) trying to make was that we could still be found to have breached some of the 115 charges, but not acted fraudulently or in an attempt to mislead. So maybe acted within the letter of the law but not the spirit.

fair enough.
although giving the dippers and the rags more voting power than everton or forest as Parry, in the original post, suggested would be way more dangerous.
it was just a passing thought tbh. thought i'd put it out there.
A world where "Some are more equal than others". There's a word for thatActually there might be something in that.
Should a team that is in the premier league for just 1 year in the last 10 have the same voting rights as an ever present like Everton? Maybe, maybe not.
Should Everton get relegated should they lose all voting rights immediately?
Maybe it should be proportional. Maybe you get 1 vote for each of the rolling last 10 years you were in the premier league. So City, Spurs, Chelsea, Everton, Newcastle, Palace would all currently get 10 votes each whereas Burnley would get 8 votes and Forest would get 2 votes.
Not sold on that idea, but it's still the case that no one team gets more than 1/20 of the total vote.

Can you be done for not acting in the spirit of the rules?Sorry - I didn't realise it was you I was replying to.

Why would we need to report stuff that’s outside the club ? Unless it’s not a related party company within the company it would be like Nike reporting to PL UEFA payments to playersI'd just point out in response to your otherwise excellent post that the point is that, by virtue of the payments being paid by third parties, they won't have been recorded in City's accounts. The main question, certainly as far as the image rights payments are concerned, is were they properly reported to the PL/UEFA?

The Super League was created in tantrum against UEFA’s inability to neutralise ‘nation state’ investment or ownership so they wouldn’t have us. UAE pro league or create some more clubs to play us maybe? Bring it on
He better win then ;)I’m being mocked by someone. Turned up for my son’s swim/run competition today and he’s number 115. Wankers
but the money is divi'd up by finishing position, which i think is what parry is edging towards with his( gills ) brainwaveA world where "Some are more equal than others". There's a word for that

that's already the case.
the idea was more like proportional representation. everton could spend 1 year out of 20 in the championship and in that 1 year there could be a vote that impacts them hugely. currently it would be a case of tough cheese.
the bigger problem for me is that over a period of 10 years there might be 30 different teams at one time or another in the premier league so to get them all around a table chipping in might be a disaster.
