PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gorton_Tubster]

White and Jordan discussing City and 115 and let an Irish LFC fan listener on to compare City to Lance Armstrong and they all have a good laugh about it.

This is the Talksport that we were informed last week supposedly got a legal letter warning them.

Just heard that. Surely that's taking them to court stuff.

Top post. I knew McGeehan would be involved. I don't suppose there was anyone on that podcast who challenged him or put the alternative viewpoint?

We know that other clubs were looked at before Sheikh Mansour settled on City, so it certainly wasn't some cynical ploy to profit at Manchester's expense. And it was Garry Cook who sold the possibility of development around the stadium. Why wouldn't the council work with Abu Dhabi to maximise the investment and improvements to the area?

It was a post-industrial, brownfield, toxic area prior to the stadium (which pre-dated the takeover), the CFA and other developments. It wasn't some nice but rundown working class suburb where everyone got turfed out for foreign BTL investment. Clearly the likes of McGeehan and others never saw that side of Manchester.

Imagine if Sheikh Mansour hadn't spent a penny apart from on the club itself? The criticism would be off the scale and we'd be getting podcasts asking "Why isn't Abu Dhabi spending as nothing to improve East Manchester?"

Fuck the BBC and their hypocrisy.

Spot on. Some of these clowns criticise the redevelopment of Ancoats when it was derelict and untouched by any other developers for decades.

Reminds me of when the training campus was being developed on acres of abandoned poisoned land, yet David Conn was there interviewing the boss of a one man band taxi rank that was being displaced and offered another location.

How informed are they about our finances. Not. White and Jordan are as ill informed about City as any normal headline reading fan. They know nothing about us.

Outrageous that was allowed to be broadcast. It was quite obvious what was being teed up for the Irish LFC fan to spew out as the final caller on the topic.

I think it’s obvious that no legal warning letters have been sent to Talksport which everybody was getting giddy about last week.

Over here the dipper fans are far worse than the rags. They are hurting as bingo is going and City totally pist on their "glory" period rendering it an utter after thought that will soon be forgotten.

Especially given there is a delay on calls being broadcast to stop legally sensitive stuff being broadcast.

:) I managed to put myself through the first part about City and, really, it was generally bollocks. McGeehan, that asshole from Sheffield Hallam, and some random locals with axes to grind.

Why can no-one get their head around the difference between a private investment from an AD businessman who happens to be a politician and a royal, and a sovereign investment fund? It really isn't difficult. They can ignore it as much as they want, but it just weakens their argument as no-one has ever, in any legal setting, put the case that City is, in fact, owned by the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

And then their point that Mansour invested in City so he could coerce the City Council into making profit out of regenerating the area. Really. I doubt Mansour had been to Manchester, was remotely interested in Manchester or had any interest in investing money in Manchester until after he bought the club. Why would he? What he did have, though, was the business acumen too see the benefit to himself, the council and the region as a whole in investing outside the club. As for gentrification, I didn't see any of these assholes being born and growing up in NE Manchester over the last decades. They can stick their concerns about gentrification up their arses along with their posh accents. Lived in Manchester since the 1990s? I bet it was a leafy suburb, not fucking Ancoats. Tosser.

I find it all very strange. Wether it is an individual or a state, he/they have invested their own money INTO Manchester. Last Sunday everyone saw what happens when a family REMOVE one billion pounds and counting, from this country. Further they have removed another one billion plus when they sold some of their shares to some scruffy bloke.
That same American family and the scruffy bloke now want UK taxpayers to fund a rebuild. When will Radio 4, the Grundian or any other media whore write/broadcast about that ?

Isn't it funny how programmes like that always fail to mention the hundreds of millions of poumds arsenal have received from that well know UAE airline Emirates. Maybe Emirates don't use Aviation fuel in their aircraft. Perhaps they just use 100% green bio fuel from Rwanda, that would explain it...

The UAE airline that's the flagship carrier of Dubai and is state owned by Dubai so therefore Arsenal are being funded by a sovereign wealth fund. As for that bastion of freedom and democracy Rwanda...

If it was in any way a serious comment why would they be laughing about it?

No one cares about Arsenal. That’s why nothing is said, same with Chelsea, Leicester, United, Liverpool and spurs.

The reason city is attacked is because we are the dominant force, the top dogs. All the rest combined have won nothing like the trophy haul we are privileged to witness under Pep.

Everyone, literally everyone in real life and the socials can’t stop talking about City!

I don’t think it has dawned on most fans how big the club has become.
