QED.Holier than though?
By suggesting it’s idiotic to want someone dead because they wrote a book you don’t like?
Jesus H Fucking Christ.
I’ll call out a fucking ridiculous post wherever I see it and feel free to hit the ignore button, whoever the hell you are.
That was in direct response to an identical comment from the same poster (since deleted, or amended I think). So not good all round, but an understandable response imo.QED.
I gave your original post a 'like', as I agree wholeheartedly with your condemnation of the fatwa. Its the follow up I dislike.
You called a fellow blue "a societal cancer". Not good.
Today in focus is a daily podcast from the Guardian and this mornings edition is all about City and the ban. David Conn is being interviewed and he is still stating UEFA's claim that Sheikh Mansour funded the Etihad money. Everything he says seems one sided with nothing offered to give City's side of the arguement.
Hacking = FA. PL had nothing to say about that.I think we're pretty well protected from the PL stuff, and I assume that was the whole point of leaking the hacking agreement.
If they punish us for 6 year old stuff they'll have to punish Liverpool, they are already loathe to revisit it anyway and revoking a trophy would be a nightmare.
We don't have an "owner" as such anymore, we have numerous shareholders. Sheikh Mansour is obviously the vast majority but we have major investors from China and silver lake in America. Mansour sold 10% of the group for $500m a few months ago so I don't think he's too worriedWas having a discussion about all this last night, I know our owner paid £210 million to buy us but how much has he spent buying Melbourne, New York etc..
How much has he put into this project and how long until he has his money back ?
Greatest ever season by any club would be winning all four (including community shield) domestic trophies. Can’t be done
Interesting that Baz thinks we should ignore Tyson Fury's bigotry because we're judging him by our standards which is wrong.
Do you think he feels the same way about Abu Dhabi's ruling family? That we shouldn't judge them by Western standards?
I don't think it's a good excuse for either but at least I'm consistent.
The irrefutable proof will be the clubs financial records. This would have been contained somewhere in the 200 page dossier we had put together for our defence. Something UEFA decided not to look at.
What they looked at, were stolen/hacked emails which they proceeded to take out of context. They used that as a negotiation and offered a deal, like the bully’s they are and assuming we would take one.
We didn’t. We said fuck off. See you in court, where we will be bringing the 200 page document that you didn’t want to see.
They then threw their toys out the pram and made, what will consequentially be, an absolutely fucking horrendous decision that is going to haunt them for many, many years.
My guess is that CFG has cost Mansour upwards of £2bn so far, so he has a paper profit, his stake worth £2.5 - £3bn?.We don't have an "owner" as such anymore, we have numerous shareholders. Sheikh Mansour is obviously the vast majority but we have major investors from China and silver lake in America. Mansour sold 10% of the group for $500m a few months ago so I don't think he's too worried
And the press will ask "Did you take a bung, Pep?"Edit - We win the Champions league, the fa and league cup this season. Added to what we have done over the last 2 seasons, it would totally piss all over them winning the league this season.
I think we must publish our docs and an explanation for "that" email.Once the case is completed then there is nothing to stop City releasing their defence if they choose to, even if UEFA don't release their's however they did say they would
The PL FFP are a lot more liberal that UEFA and were introduced a few years after I doubt we were anywhere near failing Also since they said it was too long ago to investigate the lfc hacking scandal then they cant ignore that for our issueI'm not a legal expert which is obvious but......and it's a big but....IF we lose the case, wouldn't the premier league have a case then to pursue us, on the basis our break even money to meet their criteria was falsified?
Was it Mao who, when asked what he thought about democracy, replied "Its too soon to tell"?
That’s my concern to be honest. If we’ve already submitted what we considered to be the irrefutable proof, then it clearly wasn’t considered irrefutable and the CFCB would have definitely looked at it.
Personally, I want to know when we say the emails were taken out of context, what we fully mean by that. I don’t think we’ll ever find out though, I think the argument at CAS will be more around the verdict being inadmissible anyway.
One might have wished for a more openly supportive piece. He doesn't mention the corrupt change of rules which led to our first FFP sanction nor the US investigation cited by PB showing our sponsors' support was not from SM.The definitive thread as always from Swiss Ramble. Little or anything to argue with in the entire thing.
Would recommend all of u on this thread to read it. ( a bit late longish but worth it)
