Think your missing the point
PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules
- Thread starter ayrshire_blue
- Start date
Has anyone explained why UEFA and the premier league seem to have gone soft ?
Our UEFA sanctions vs clubs now
premier league early sanctions vs seemingly no one failing despite the appearance of the opposite.
Surely sanctions should get tougher with time as clubs should have to work less hard to comply with older rules

I'd say Agatha Christie knew the identity of the killer before she wrote the last page.

quite a few posters seem to be saying this saga is driving them a bit mad.
well then...
naviget anticyram!
anticyra was a place in ancient greece.
naviget anticyram means let's set sail for anticyra.
anticyra was the only place where hellebore could be found.
a black flower that was said to cure insanity (or kill you).
the reason it was discovered as a cure for melancholy was because of a shepherd called melanpodius,
who realised hellebore "purged his goats when they raged".
melanpodius took a gamble and offered it to king praetus,
whose daughters, elige and calene, were acting a bit mental.
seemingly, it worked and both were restored to their former selves and melanpodius was given good reward.
the interesting thing about this story,
(i went to a posh school and somehow remember all this shit)
was that elige & calene lived very close to the fountain clitorius.
honestly, i haven't just made that up.

Exactly this - in real terms they were all second tier, Europa League-level signings. You’d hope once this is resolved the calibre players targeted will go up.

We do. Quite a lot. Compound nouns are very common in English e.g. lunchtime, girlfriend, heartache, smartphone etc.as much as we genuinely appreciate your input,
we are not germans.
we do not join two words together to make one word...
it's time frame,
2 words,
and never a hyphen.
officer miss behaviour wants a word with you, bs.
To be honest, I'm only being pedantic so I can reply and get your picture to make another appearance...;-)

in case anyone doubts me about hellebore and fountain clitorius,
i just did a little www research and found this,
from robert burton's "the anatomy of melancholy"...
cornelius celsus extolled and admired this excellent plant;
and it was generally so much esteemed for this disease,
that they sent all such as were crazed to the anticyrae,
to be purged where this plant is in abundance.
in strabo's time it was considered an ordinary voyage,
to bid a dizzard or a madman to go take hellebore.
lucian menippus reportedly said to tantalus,
"tantale desipis, helleboro epoto tibi opus est, eoque sane meraco"
(my latin translates that as...
oh tantalus thou art out of thy little wit and must needs drink hellebore and without mixture).
now then, or nethen, as you like,
i am mental but i like my wine.
and according to beeton
"hellebore gave a dislike of wine to those who drank it,
but drinking thither from the fountain clitorius returned he".

i was being daft about the germans,
but thanks to you grassing me up i've just had a knock at the door from the grammar girls!
they put on a bit of a country and western accent...
"y'all heard of a compound noun?
you need a warning, mister down".
My thinking on this latest story is if we are guilty what’s the point in announcing it now because if we are guilty and let’s say they want to impose a 10 point deduction on us this season it won’t get us relegated whereas if they leave it till the summer and then deduct the points for next season they it might be a different ending. What’s your thoughts or tho I think I’m talking bollocks

The decision we are waiting for is the binary guilty or not guilty. Not the punishment.
Appeals could follow suit from whatever side is not victorious and that will again drag out either an ultimatum or punishment decision.
As Stefan has said on talkSPORT numerous times, the punishment, if there is one, won't be announced until a later date, maybe next year I think he even said.
As I said, you could have appeals on both decisions as well.
This whole thing will be dragged out for another 12/18 months in my opinion. Until finalised.

Can we infer anything from the delay?
We can't really say that there is a delay because we don't know the timescale but the longer this runs, the more I feel that the case is complex i.e., less clear cut than we think.

I think you’re right. We’ll be found guilty of some things not all. The press and opposition fans will scream blue murder and have their day in the sun. We’ll appeal and eventually win. But this bollocks is going on and on!

The case is as indeterminately complex as it always was unless certain allegations were excluded at the beginning, which could have happened but was never likely.
So any interpretation of what a particular timing means in such an information vacuum isn't particularly helpful.
But not being particularly helpful myself, I would say in the next month :)
Or maybe that we as a public just have no idea how long it really should take.

That is true. I still don't trust the process though remembering that 'learned' UEFA appointed judges found us guilty and then CAS overturned their ruling. The APT hearing has though shown me that they are prepared to act independently. There isn't much we can usefully say at least I don't think so.
