F.O. to Embassy: “Have a quiet word with UAE and see if they are concerned about charges against City.”It's UK government officials in Abu Dhabi speaking to UK officials in the UK isn't it?
YesSo after reading most of the posters on here we will be found not guilty of all charges against us or we will. I personally believe we will win hands down or not. So which is it ?
Depends on our growing injury list.So after reading most of the posters on here we will be found not guilty of all charges against us or we will. I personally believe we will win hands down or not. So which is it ?
Do The PL inspect the balance sheets?A negative balance of trade has to be met by the equivalent amount of foreign investment for the uk balance sheet to balance.
An awful lot of ifs there.Yeah, but if the Abu Dhabi Government contacted the British government, in order to influence an ongoing investigation or to make it go away, then that doesn't look very good, does it?
Especially if we are adamant that City are not state owned, so why is the Abu Dhabi government getting involved in a football matter?
If the intention was to have their day in court, you wouldn't be knocking on the door of number 10, as some people on here have mentioned, threatening to cancel Billions of investment.
If that is the case, then the charges have to have some merit.
Trying my best to grow a brain, to read what he said.Read what you said ?
Besides playing in blue?That’s is correct. I am only throwing out another possible scenario as to why the club is getting attacked.
Made that point and not just the Abu Dhabi crew but all the world renowned business men who are on City’s board it ridiculous to suggest that these guys would risk their reputation to facilitate a few million £ There was a multi billion pound trade deal being negotiated at much the same time as the PL made these accusationsThe Premier League are essentially accusing a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family of submitting fraudulent accounts over a prolonged period in the UK, something that is vehemently denied. Of course that is going to be brought up at a diplomatic level.
Have you seen leaked emails or someth?F.O. to Embassy: “Have a quiet word with UAE and see if they are concerned about charges against City.”
Embassy to F.O.:”Wilko.”
Embassy to F.O.:”UAE say they have £30 billion concern and trust that uk gov will have a quiet word with the independent panel. Also, they have a ton of dirt about the redshirts.”
It could be middle for diddle?So after reading most of the posters on here we will be found not guilty of all charges against us or we will. I personally believe we will win hands down or not. So which is it ?
Season ticket for decades.I believe that Hendrick is a blue.
Sorry, what isn’t?Got to be honest, that’s not a good thing at all.
Sorry, what isn’t?

Depends what (if anything) was said.That it would be certain it would be brought up at a diplomatic level.
Where is the evidence that it has been discussed?For the Premier League, you mean. We don't know the content of the emails or discussions but the fact that the UAE government have seen fit to talk to the British government about this shows how serious they believe the accusations to be. In essence, a UK-based company is questioning the legitimacy of a company owned by prominent businessmen and political figures from the UAE and they're stepping in to find out why.
