PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

yeah but trade barriers are their to control trading blocks. To stop say shoes from China flooding the market in the EU and damaging shoe manufacturers in Europe. Trade barriers don't tell companies how much they can invest in their own company or who they can hire.

The principle is the same.

It’s not about protecting jobs, it’s about protecting or increasing profits at the expense of others.

As mentioned by others every dirty trick in the book, lobbying, increase in regulation or self regulating to make it difficult for competitors. The US spends $4.5b annually on lobbying.

There is a problem with having ‘secure’ passwords. We have a system where the password has to be changed every three months and it must contain the usual mix of alphabetical characters plus numbers and symbols. For a time you couldn’t use more than a few characters from your previous password.

My roommate couldn’t cope with all this and even if he changed his password he couldn’t remember what he had changed it to. Once he was off sick and hadn’t posted details for an assignment and students came in complaining to me. I sorted things out by lifting up his keyboard and finding the ‘post-it’ note with his password written down stuck underneath. I duly hacked into his account and posted the information needed.

In the German insurance market, they have got this off to a fine tee. If you want to launch a new product, you have to give full details to the trade body six months in advance. The details are duly posted to all members. Result: no new entrants from E.U.

That sounds about right……

I’ve seen it where you’ve navigated every detail, got approval to export into China but then gets rejected at customs. Get bought out by a Chinese company then it gets through.

one little thing i find weird is that passwords can go that long without being changed. thats naughty by rob newman imo but it may well have been commonplace at city back then

Just an assumption, but I am guessing there was a culture of sharing passwords for some reason. Which is a big no-no as well.

And I also suppose it's up to the organisation to make sure passwords are changed regularly, individuals can't really be held responsible for that if the organisation doesn't take it seriously.

They do love an invasion of a smaller, neighbouring country though !!

I remember being told, years ago, of a well-known local manager being given wads of cash in a brown bag in connection with some transfer. The game's always been a bit dodgy, and the people who pretend it is (or ever was) squeaky clean are either hypocrites or deluded.

I remember a famous ex chairman also senior member of the FA and his secretary regularly going to his company supplied Jaguar and putting in plastic shopping bags with bundles of cash into the boot, the said cash never seen again.

It's a good job we were never under investigation in the 80s, we would be completely @ucked!

1. When Alan Sugar took over Spurs he was astonished to find £1 million in cash in the safe. He asked VENABLES who told him it was for bungs to help transfers. Sugar told them to get rid of it.
2. Revie used to meet Alan Ball on the moors and give him cash to ensure he signed for Leeds. In the event Ball signed for Everton, secure in the knowledge that Revie could not complain publicly. Ball wrote this in his autobiography.
3. I am absolutely sure that nobody at City would ever understate the attendance figures and cream off cash for nefarious causes, oh no!
