PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[KS55]

Ed Woodward looks like the sort of small time **** who checks how much his food and drink came to and only chip that amount, rounded up to the nearest fiver, into the middle.

Was he a teacher at any time?
PS I bet he rounds up to the nearest £1.

It’s a spurious point anyway because it ‘only’ being unlawful doesn’t make it ok.

The PL is one of this country’s greatest commercial and strategic assets and they can’t even get the basics right.

That’s the fucking story, not whether it was illegal or merely unlawful.

Yes, this is spot on. Recent events show that the PL is beyond question a regualtroy authority that's both hopelessly compromised by bias and chbronically lacking in even the most basic vestige of competence. That should be treated as a staggeringly newsworthy dvelopment. Nonetheless, sportswriters in the national press demur from exposing the fact.

To pick one execrable piece of journalism out of many, look at Jonathan Wilson in today's Observer. An ostensibly intelligent man, he must have composed that piece with a view to entering it in a competition that shows even Oxbridge graduates to be capable of being absolute, unadulterated, 24-carat fucking morons.

When can we expect to hear some leaks about how this is going ?

I think Arsenal have got too much on their plate to find time to go for a pint with Zeigler and the rest.

It’s the Emperor’s new clothes on an industrial scale.

That's what's called a trough full of cunts

Have updated that post, but it’s for things like obstructing an officer (which presumably hasn’t happened here, as I assume officers haven’t been involved) but there are other sanctions available under that Act which compel non-compliant parties to Act in a particular and legally enforceable way.

So illegal still fits imo.

And further to your last point, I think if someone obstructs a public official in the course of their duties then that surely has to be capable of being a criminal act, and in the most egregious and exceptional of of circumstances, imprisonable.

It’s my playground duty tomorrow. Any kid obstructing me during their kickabout is doing time. Harsh, especially for the 4 and 5 year olds but thens is the breaks.
