PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I just asked AI if prick Harris and magic hat are the same person.
Based on the context provided, it is revealed that Nick Harris is the person behind the pseudonym “Magic Hat.” This conclusion is drawn from various pieces of evidence, including shared vocabulary and common use of uncommon words, similar time stamps in their chats, and Harris’s admission that he was at Wembley on the same day as Magic Hat’s alleged presence there. There is no indication that Harris has done anything illegal or unethical under this alias, but rather, he has used it to express criticisms of Manchester City Football Club. The motivation behind using a pseudonym appears to be an attempt to maintain anonymity while voicing strong opinions.

Alas, ChatGPT and the like use pattern recognition within the wider internet as it's source so it probably based this conclusion from what it read on Bluemoon!

This for me is the key and often overlooked point.

Another key and often overlooked point is that the BDO opinions have been unqualified since 2018. This means they have obtained evidence to the extent they are satisfied the accounts give a true and fair view since 2018 as well as before. Granted the only issue that would have possibly impacted on the true and fair view is the Etihad funding, in my view (and I am not even sure of that), but they wouldn't just have relied on management representation. They would have obtained confirmation from ADUG and, probably, Etihad as well.

If management, ADUG and Etihad can convince the auditors, who can be ruined if they get this wrong, that the accounts give a true and fair view, they shouldn't have any problem, possibly with BDO assistance, convincing the IP.

I would also add that the resignation of BDO as City's auditor would have been a disaster for City on so many levels, giving BDO the leverage to ask for absolutely all sorts of information (beyond the normal scope of an audit).

I'm guessing here, but I'd imagine they had iron clad documentary evidence from Etihad and other relevant third parties.

Do you think its madness to even suggest it tho, companies are notoriously guarded about opening up their books even when they have to, to think that an outside entity who they have no ideas with regards to safeguarding of commercially sensitive information should just be given carte blance access to the books is madness from a business perspective especially when it is widely reported that the chief of said organisation is less than partisan in his dealings with certain clubs.

The PL also has its own sponsorship deals. Why should any private firm open its books to a third party which has a track record of leaking sensitive information to the media. It really is madness. Masters is a total moron.
 
This is the dipper take on Harris/Magic Twat. This time from the fan site The Liverpool Way. Fucking clueless.

Posted Saturday at 07:55 I see Nick Harris has been having a go at this Magic Hat character on Twitter. I don’t really understand his point. Is Harris a City sympathiser or something?
