PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

UAE approached to invest in Sizewell C nuclear power plant​


A United Arab Emirates investor has been approached to take a stake in the Sizewell C nuclear power plant project in Suffolk, it has emerged.

Ministers are searching for new investors in the project, which could cost between £20bn and £44bn, after removing the Chinese state-owned CGN last year due to security concerns over UK infrastructure amid poor Anglo-Sino relations.

The Times reported on Monday that the UK government had lined up Mubadala, the Abu Dhabi fund run by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the owner of Manchester City football club, to back the energy project, with a decision due early next year.

However, a source close to Mubadala denied the fund was interested in Sizewell but said other UAE entities were interested. A separate source said that Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation, which is owned by Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund ADQ, could be a good fit for the project.

The UAE interest comes against the backdrop of Westminster tensions over a separate Emirati deal. Last week, RedBird IMI – a joint-venture between America’s Redbird Capital and International Media Investments, an Abu Dhabi investor also backed by Mansour – announced a deal to take control of the Telegraph group. The government has indicated it will launch a public interest investigation into the newspaper deal.

The Sizewell C plant aims to generate enough energy to power 6m homes. It is backed by France’s EDF and the UK government, which has spent nearly £100m buying CGN out of the project. CGN had held a 20% stake.

Rishi Sunak hosted Mubadala’s Khaldoon Al Mubarak at a meeting of global business leaders at Hampton Court, south-west London, on Monday as he attempts to attract foreign investment to the UK.

By the way Khaldoon is also chairman of the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation.

The 5 basic charges relate to:

1) Alleged inaccurate financial information.
2) Alleged financial breaches relating to manager remuneration.
3) Alleged breaches of UEFA club licensing & FFP regulations.
4) Alleged breaches of PL profitability and sustainability rules.
5) Alleged lack of co-operation.

I know these are what the charges have been boiled down to, the one I don’t get is 3. First what has UEFA FFP got to do with the premier league and secondly after we were cleared by UEFA or by CAS of the UEFA charges how can the premier league charge us with that?

Yeah I feel that the decision might be delayed a little.

If I was Khaldoon, I'd have the little rat Sunak begging like a dog, I'd be telling him, have a word with the PL and it's whores, get the whole thing dropped, we want a full and unequivocal apology, we want the heads of Gill, Parry, Levy and the what's app group of schills on a stake before we even consider another penny of investment in a country that hates us.

I'll say it yet again and will keep on repeating the magnitude of the accusations.
Someone, somebody or the entire employees of the Premier league, have unanimously accused a figurehead, a deputy prime minister of a country, who pumps billions into the UK economy, who is high fiving and eating caviar with the Royal Family, of being a fraudster and a liar and fiddling figures and making up sponsorship deals.

That's pretty fuckin heavy and seeing as Andy Burnham has just outed their amateur approach to Everton and their ridiculous charges against us, I'm absolutely and 200% chilled that they will get absolutely nothing on us.

All this is the Premier League trying to show everyone they don't need an independent regulator and falling flat on their arse.

Notice how they site no evidence of sports washing. What about the City based PR for AbuDhabi? Oh, there isn’t any.?
We all know that it is a money making exercise for Mansour personally. The Newcastle Saudis said it: “We don’t care a damn about ……” (Sorry can’t remember whether the quote was sportswashing or reputation.)
If Mansour wanted to sports wash, you would see it all around.
Note also no public PR for the billions invested in civil projects. The latest one: they have rescued Sizewell B funding, with a UK gov announcement and nothing from AbuDhabi.
RTE fails to mention, we rats as the Sunday Times called us, have no say in our ownership. Gaslighting of fans.
Personally, I am not a fan of the domestic policies of M.E. regimes (and that includes Israel controversially maybe) but I can do fuck all about it.
Finally, why do RTE not publish the methodology and data of this (non existent?) study.

Consider their audience in Ireland KS. I should know, I grew up with them...;)

If it came to it tho Soriano would take the fall imo. Good news that the uk is getting in bed with the UAE. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Khaldoon meet Rishi…

“Well Cool Hand, erm how’s the football club business? Good game at the weekend! so what’s all this fuss over charges and how would you like us to proceed?” -:)

Well they do love a bit of retrospective! Even the 129(131) charges include references to regulations concerning non cooperation for seasons when PL FFP or PL P&S were still being scribbled down of a napkin.

Excuse my ignorance but were QC’s/KC’s used by the PL to get to the point where they charged us or was it internal lawyers used by the PL? We saw a rushed job in their excitement to hit us with the charges. Just wondering if it was managed by a load of amateurs and now they could be wasting money on expensive KCs getting their arguments pulled apart.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but has the mayor of Manchester been as vocal at any point regarding City's treatment?

I get that he's a Scouser but a hugely successful football team in the city which he governs over is a big thing (massive, some might say).

Whilst it is reasonable for him not to complain about operation of the disciplinary proceedings per se at this stage, he could comment on the negative publicity received by City, and by association Manchester itself and the manner in which the charges were presented. In that way he would have shown his concern for the team in the City of which he is mayor.

Perhaps I missed it, living up here in Scotland, but I don’t recall him criticising the attack on the City coach by Liverpool fans.

In reality there are only 5 charges that have been sub-divided into 115 mini charges to make it look as bad as possible and get the frothing brain dead dippers/rags/tarquins worked up. There are 30 separate mini charges for lack of co-operation alone.

When a Regulator is finally appointed, I hope they vigorously pursue why the PL saw fit to publish City’s charges in this novel way. Somebody instructed this and whoever it was needs to fully explain themselves. I’d have the fuckers on toast.

My first question from Khaldoon would be “are you sure you want to do business with cheating bastards?”
Then I’d sit back and smile and wait for their reply.
That’ll put a stop to this nonsense pretty quickly.
