That’s taken up by the Govan Bully, he needs a spot closer to a toilet, just to be safe.

Ironically the man who reputedly was the father of the Blues was W.C Handy.

I’m not sure if this has ever been pointed out (I’ve never seen it mentioned) but Manchester City is part-owned by Americans, or at least, an American consortium.

QUESTIONS to ask the PL -:

1) We're ALL PL clubs advised of the 'Exceptional'
circumstances/conditions that were applied to MU & willingly accepted by the PL ?

2) How and when were the other PL clubs advised ?

3) Did the advice identify the specific 'Exceptions' that could be be claimed and accepted by the PL ?

4) Which clubs re submitted their claims as a result of the PLs correspondence ?

5) Were any clubs claims for 'Exceptional 'costs accepted & increased & who were they ?

6) Were any clubs claims for 'Exceptional' costs rejected, who were they, and why ?

7) Have any PL clubs subsequently challenged the protocol. Who are they, and what has been the outcome of their challenge ?

8) Is the PL undertaking an independent review of the protocol, decision making process and 'Exceptional' cost awards and will it make the findings public ?

9) Will the PL take retrospective sanctions against any PL club who is subsequently found to have breached PL rules, acted in bad faith or failed to cooperate with any subsequent enquiry ?

This is what I understand
MCFC is owned by CFG whose major shareholder is Newton Investment and Deveopment LLC.(80%). Silver Lake own 19%. and Chinese Media Group 1%.

Thought we have no Chinese investment now

Unsurprisingly, the media appear to be somewhat backward in coming forward over this matter. Truthfully, if it hadn't been brought up on here I would not have known about this. That in itself says a lot.

Clear and organised.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Cheating scum bum feeders.

I think the American own clubs could turn on each other if they don't get to 100% run the pl.
Plus its should be clear to both American and non American clubs that the dippers and rags get treated differently. If the American owners are all meant to be together and they now see rags get allowed 75million fix, it could start infighting between the yanks

Nah it's a collective ambition - how much of the pie can go to the U.S which will then create them all s bigger share.

I.e. 39th game played on U.S soil etc etc etc..........

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

The rags only broke the rules in a limited and specific way though.
I mean, a paltry £75m, what's the fuss?

SCUM.

Exactly - it's only 1 Antony when you look at it like that.........

Why is this not on the back page everyday
How can this possibly have been brushed under the carpet now it is out in the open/media
