The delaying and dawdling are classic lack of confidence indicators.

If we were Interested in rice do you think our players would know?

But that’s the issue, documents have been leaked which imply the crown prince gives instruction to the entities that funded city. And hasn’t this city case been handed over to a third party investigation. Personally speaking I hope city get off and it’s the end of the nonsense which is FFP, and that isn’t because I like city or anything of such nature but FFP is the wolf in sheep’s clothing which makes challenging the status quo extremely difficult.

I think the PL wouldn’t consider that a defence as it bears no relevance to the charges/breaches. I understand what you’re saying in spirit but this case isn’t a moral judgement.

Because no such rule existed to state separation had to be a thing. It was likely a backroom agreement to get around the owners and directors test. In city’s case of those emails are real they are admitting the sponsorship money came from the owners and not from the actual sponsors.

admitting to the “crimes” if those emails are real lol

Because any changes which come from this will likely clamp down on related Party transaction further which will hurt us and city.

Burn down the house, good luck with that lol. if this is true the hubris at city is off the charts. They don’t contribute that much to the brand.

Fair points, I don’t think it’s so easy to get an Ashworth without the money mind. He’s clearly here to build something special which maybe beyond us without the backing we have. a lot of our recent sponsors are related parties too mind.

According to reports they can’t take it to CAS.

What do you want us to be KI? it’s cliche but I want us to be the best we can possibly be.

To catch them requires success on the pitch. They built the leads they have on us in a time whereby they weren’t restricted. they make over double our revenue and already have top notch infrastructure we are a long way behind in many aspects.

It’s not about being the next Manchester City, id argue our approach has been different to them thus far. It’s about our potential growth and speed of growth being limited by rules designed to maintain a status quo.

I can’t help but think this is really bad for us too. Expect a crackdown on sponsorship deals and such.

Probably thread worthy this city saga. what would an acceptable punishment be?

They aren’t going to be kicked out I can’t imagine anything more than points deduction so they will get a one season handicap at most. totally worth it for them.

I think the top four points are being misinterpreted by sone. I think nobody expected top 4 this season but with both Liverpool and Chelsea being poor a golden opportunity presented itself which some (myself included) hoped we would try and do more to grasp it.

I think Eddie will be fuming with ASM. Had a big chance today to stake his claim and blew it.

Let’s hope so, was absolutely class today.

Whoever will give us the biggest bag is the best choice. It’s that simple.

That’s what I get for jumping to the last page Although it’s football insider

I hope not. That’s a revenue destroyed for a long time.

Can’t wait to be free of Ashley and his terrible deals.

@Unbelievable

How long has the deal with Castore got to run?
