PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mcfcphil]

Without wanting to be a killjoy, nothing has changed.

If you want reason for optimism then the incredibly high bar of proof these charges require should be enough.

But nothing is guaranteed and I certainly wouldn’t pin everything on rumours and Goldstein’s body language.

Stay calm and wait for the outcome - it’s going to be a long time yet.

I thought this keegan geezer has a strong dislike to us?

It is the same one who writes nonsense in the manny evening news?

He does and he is.

He also has the distinction of having been the first person on Twitter to block me!

I doubt very much that it is true (the charges being dropped). But you can picture social media if it did actually happen......

You sure about that?
I'm happy to be corrected but in UK law, libel is normally a defamatory statement that is written. Slander is a defamatory statement that is oral i.e. spoken. Hence the distinction.

Defamation is when someone makes a comment or statement about someone else that is unfair, untrue and likely to harm their reputation or character. Read more general information about defamation, libel and slander here.

Libel and slander are sub-types of defamation. Libel concerns defamatory statements that are permanent. On social media, this could range from a tweet on Twitter to a YouTube video.

Slander is when someone talks about someone else in a defamatory way. Arguably, you cannot slander someone over social media because comments made online are permanent and classed as publications. Even ‘temporary’ social media content, such as Instagram stories, can be preserved and distributed.

I did have a nibble about season ticket increases. He said its still cheaper than most, i replied united have frozen theirs for 10 years, he then said, yeah but united have a roof that leaks and the catering/bars etc is crap .

Hard to argue with that

Is this right @Prestwich_Blue ?

Middle English geten, from Old Norse geta, and is related to Old English gietan. In British English, gotten was the preferred form some centuries ago. But, then around the 1600s, the standard form shifted to got – though gotten does appear in some British English dialects.
You're welcome.

1600’s you say?! Give it another 200 years then and the truncated version might finally reach the West Country! Ooo-fucking-arrrr!

Many words that people think are Americanisms are in fact British but we have changed while American English has kept the old form. I give you “soccer”, late C19th public schools as opposed to “rugger”. The “our” ending as in colour superseded the “or” in English but not in American English.

It is libel. Honestly, who cares anyway.

You heard anything yourself Ric? I'm not disputing that FB post but I'm still erring on the side of caution as I always expected the hearing to at least take place even if we're completely innocent of any wrongdoing. There was a snippet from @Manchester33 a few weeks back where he'd heard something very positive from his source within the club so hopefully this is a further extension of that.

No, not heard anything mate. I was fortunate to meet a very senior CFG board member recently, but it didn't feel appropriate to be quizzing him about the case. With hindsight I wish I had though.

Agree with what others have said about how the mood music seems to have changed in our favour recently, and still expect us to ultimately be cleared, but think there's a while to go yet before we reach that stage.

Anything with the wire gets a like from me.

Hmmm. So what DID you quiz him over?

Defamation is absolutely fine as long as it is provably true. In fact it used to be a pillar of journalism in this country.

are we signing mido or not

Muffin or barm?

 

[Kippaxpete]

Yes I'm sure.

Slander is transitory. Libel is about permanence. "Statements" means words, pictures, visual images, gestures or any other method of signifying meaning

Thanks fella. You've learned me.

Tickets for Wembley the freeloader.

;)

 

[Manc123]

Maybe overthinking.... but funny use of language given no-ones really said charges have been 'dropped' plenty I've seen has said 'cleared'....

Feel like the premier league are passing the blame to the panel for when it all kicks off... they'll say we tried but the panel said no

 

[KS55]

I would have asked about the proposed IPO. What is for sale?
