  1. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with 130 FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th Sep 2024 | Concluded 9th Dec 2024 - Awaiting outcome

    I think they'll move at least 7 or 8 of those on if they can Lewis Akanji or Stones Nunes, Gundo, Bernado, McAtee and possibly Kovacic Grealish Ederson is always linked with a move away, if he doesn't go then I think Ortega will deffo leave but we'll still need a number 2. no idea who will...

  2. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with 130 FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th Sep 2024 | Concluded 9th Dec 2024 - Awaiting outcome

    so you're saying all clubs city deal with are in on it? even if the income on those sales were overblown by 25% which players are you saying other clubs reported overpaying for? Can't see many that would raise eyebrows at being over market value.

  3. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with 130 FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th Sep 2024 | Concluded 9th Dec 2024 - Awaiting outcome

    last 4 years - spent 795m received 558m - net 237m United in that time have spent 841m and recouped 220m for a net 621m above is in euros for transfermrkt so even give or take 20 or 30m either way that looks sustainable. this doesn't even include the sell ons we probably got for the likes of...

  4. FA Premier League - 02/05/25 to 05/05/25

    Chelsea and Newcastle on Sunday is the key game, if either team win I'd expect them to get top 5, a draw then it's all up in the air especially if Forest and Villa both win, you'd have 1 point separating the 4 teams (assuming City win on Saturday) and Newcastle have a horrid run in, sure Arteta...

  5. Are English club supporters really against private ownership of their clubs?

    clubs should not be privately owned entities but in the UK I think bar a few clubs over the last 25 years or so always have been, I'm no billy brexiter but I'd like to see a limit on foreign players in a 25 man squad but there is no chance that'll ever be re-implemented and it would have to be...

  6. Television Reacher (Amazon Prime) - Season 3 - Feb 20th

    this season was absolute gash

  7. Television Gangs of London -Sky Atlantic

    it's absolutely daft but good fun and an easy watch, binged 3 series in the last week, as mentioned above Luan is brilliant

  8. 2013 - 2025: Which PL clubs have done better than United in their disastrous post-Ferguson era?

    City, Liverpool and probably Chelsea

  9. New European Football Format (From 24/25)

    only thing I would change is a 1 legged playoff with the team finishing higher in the league getting home advantage

  10. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with 130 FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th Sep 2024 | Concluded 9th Dec 2024 - Awaiting outcome

    I can't see any way that City win this, Saracens tried and failed a couple of years back on something similar (salary cap I think) and the head KC hearing this was also the head KC on that too, think they ruled that sporting leagues can implement rules that go against normal business rules or...

  11. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with 130 FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th Sep 2024 | Concluded 9th Dec 2024 - Awaiting outcome

    you have proof this won't be time barred, as Premier League Rules are, in fact, expressly stated to be construed in accordance with English law which, with the usual nuance of statute of limitations debates, will impute a six-year time bar.

  12. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with 130 FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th Sep 2024 | Concluded 9th Dec 2024 - Awaiting outcome

    I'd say no one here knows exactly what went on apart from the executives, docs were apparently doctored (no idea how true or false this is) but if what you're saying is factually accurate then it should be easy for the PL lawyers to prove guilt on the sponsorships, they've undoubtedly broken...

  13. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with 130 FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th Sep 2024 | Concluded 9th Dec 2024 - Awaiting outcome

    talking a doing are two separate things, it's on the PL to prove that they followed through with the emails, UEFA couldn't prove this and I believe CAS said there was no evidence they followed through with this, I put something forward to my bosses a few months ago on some IT Licencing...

  14. Haaland at City

    no idea who reported that or what their source is but I'd take that with a massive pinch of salt, just going back to last season in the defeat against Aston Villa we didn't create 3 big chances and only had 2 shots on target, against Arsenal and Liverpool we didn't create 3 big chances, and the...

  15. Fantasy Premier League 2024/25

    done with faffing on, locked in now, taken Haaland only because if he's shit can be transferred out early and don't need to wildcard him in. Think KDB at 9.5 could be decent if he stays but easy to swap for Foden if not, don't expect to ever see Slicker or Stewart in the team but if Stewart...
