PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

The Mancini contract can only been shown to be a sham - IF the PL can prove on the balance of probabilities that Mancini didn’t fulfil his contractual obligations- which I think they will find impossible. If Mancini says he did how can they disprove him?

Absolutely. Don't disagree.

I am just trying to say it isn't as easy as saying the rules for manager contracts didn't apply, so Mancini is settled.

Me too, none the wiser what he means but found this reference re his clue

The line "I sense a disturbance in the Force" (or variations of it) is often attributed to Jedi in the Star Wars franchise, but it is most closely associated with Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.

In that film, Obi-Wan says something similar:
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."
This happens when the Death Star destroys Alderaan.

While the exact phrase "I sense a disturbance in the Force" is not directly spoken in the movies, it has become a widely recognized paraphrasing of the concept, especially in Star Wars fandom and extended media.

Do us a favour Tolm, knock it on the head, pls.

You must be very young if you had to look that up?

Anyway, what's this Episode IV bullshit? It was just Star Wars when I watched Alec Guinness in it in 1977 :P

This is interesting:

"Sources have told Football Insider the Premier League could now propose new rules are brought in [after the 115 case] to ensure the majority of its legal fees are paid for by a club if they are proven to have committed a financial breach."

Maybe they could better put themselves in a position that they don't have to keep charging clubs with "financial" offences .....

Sounds ominous, but I’m a glass half empty person

This is only from memory but wasn't Bobby Manc placed on a consultation contract for Abu Dhabi prior to joining us?

I thought he'd been sacked by Inter and City were going to appoint him the following summer to replace Mark Hughes, he was given the consultation work to stop him joining another club. Hughes was sacked earlier than expected and Bobby was appointed, I think his contract was then renegotiated and the Consultant aspect either included or paid separately for the remaining of the season.

If what I remember is correct I can't see any rhyme or reason of how it could be unlawful, he was being paid for two roles and as someone else posted he didn't physically have to be in Abu Dhabi himself, he'd have filed his tax return in the UK or Italy for the necessary financial year (I think).

There is absolutely fuck all to be gleaned from Tolmie's post. It is meaningless.

from the timing of his post i think it coincided with the tweet city put out and i think he was hoping it was a pep contract extension announcement it wasnt it was the full length 4 in a row film

I doubt it's true, but if it is, who apart from the cartel would vote for it? The last few years have shown that no-one outside the cartel is safe from breaching

"Have City cost you a title, have they taken money you believe to be rightfully yours" ?

Call 115 115 to make a quick no win, no fee claim.

CALL NOW, it's never too late!

** claims from Liverpool area will have to make a cash deposit before claim accepted. We just don't trust you**

Very good and with all these compensation nonsense, how far back do we go. Can Newcastle and others seek compensation for the Rags “Mike Riley” title winning period where they effectively were given titles.
