PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I hope the 0.01% of football fans who didn't know that, will overlook your patronising tone and just be grateful for the new information.

For the last century or so, it's been de rigeur over here to regard anyone who uses the word 'soccer' as a complete arsehole. Right?
I remember soccer being quite widely used in the 70s/80s in England. There was “Granada Soccer Night” and “Soccer Six” on telly, and magazines and annuals with it in the title.
 
It used to be the case that competing businesses objected to planning or licensing and were successful. So an off licence would object to another shop applying for a license, saying there was no need for it. Often, they would win and block a competitor. Bonkers.
That's not planning law. Nor licensing unless the council thinks the market may be saturated.
 
I know it’s de rigeur to say the word “soccer” as a denigration of American Soccer, but you do know it was the original nickname of the sport in England first, right?

It’s a truncated form of Association Football from when Rugby Football was the name of that sport. Once Rugby Football became simply Rugby, Association Football became just Football…but it had been called soccer until then.
Apologies, I was too subtle and I think you misunderstood as a result, my point was more about listing a football business in New York.....I assumed there was the potential for investor confusion as football in America isn't soccer.

Anyway, no worries.

My reference was not about now, but years ago. But even currently the amount of shelving given over to alcohol in a large shop is subject to planning. If a shop changes that, it needs planning permission amazingly.
