In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
PL should certainly expel them perhaps indefinitely.
I can’t see the FA welcoming them with open arms either.
This could legitimately be the end of Manchester City (by far and away the biggest cheaters in the uk - am reserving Barca for that spot on a world stage) as a viable club in the UK. Hope you enjoy Saudi boys………
In what world are City the EPL’s biggest and most valuable product?
2 times too many in the eyes of Abu Dhabi probably.
HMRC, the government have the power to seize assets and banks accounts if there is evidence of corruption, that is why Abrahmovich had to sell Chelsea.
I totally agree with you, I saw a post today on Facebook, (I can't remember the exact dates) that in the late 60's - 70' s 11 different clubs won the league title in 13 yrs. That was equality, now since 1992 only 7 different clubs have won it, Leicester being the most unlikely winners along with Blackburn.I don’t mind a bit of lay man psychology, so thanks for the speed diagnosis
It’s true I am offended by the Mansour way of trying to change English football and the PL, certainly. It seems to me I’m not alone, luckily. You are OK with it?
Can you imagine what it was like for City ownership & staff back in Leicester’s run? Know that they’re cheating like hell & it’s Leicester that’s making history.
This is what makes this terrifying for City in my opinion. Their value to the Premier League is feck all, meaning jettisoning them would only minimally impact the global brand.
The only thing we don’t know about is how much behind closed doors corruption has gone on, Sarkozy-Qatar style. That’s the thing that’ll mean City go unscathed.
It's such a long time ago, were they even in the Prem then ?
Brexit means Brexit
Yep EU law no longer applies to the UK.
Joe from Stretford Paddock speaks to Matt Lawton who broke the story starts at about 7:50
I’m aware of this but they can’t take tax payments for wages and salaries paid in the UAE now can they?
Yep they've been pretty spotless so far, otherwise they might have racked up 116 charges. Not a mere 115.
I know this isn't how it works, but I'd love to see them bring in some witnesses for their defence. Maybe a cardboard cut out of the stock image business woman who is CEO of one of their biggest sponsors, or Pep with a sock puppet wearing a stethoscope.
As if I couldn’t hate these cnuts any more than I do.
I'm not 100% on the tax laws, however I think you are liable for UK tax if you are domiciled in the UK and being paid by a UK company.
My son works for a Swedish firm but pays UK income tax.
isnt this an admittance of guilt then? seems they've put a bigger crosshair on their back now.
Why don't all the other teams in the league just refuse to take part until City are dealt with and in a way which is equal to what Everton/Forest got for their charges?
My guess is a lot of other teams including ourselves bend rules and if we point the finger at City.....They could then say, "Well look what you've been doing i.e A, B and C"
Which nobodye wants.

But they know that has zero significance on a world level.
The only people who watch Saudi games from other countries are either Ronaldo fans or Ronaldo haters trying to downplay his career.
It's definitely a deflection tactic.
Like a criminal being hauled into the cop shop and trying to claim the cops assaulted him on way.
City going for the Trump approach
"crooked league, we're totally innocent, it's rigged"

Watched the 99 doc on prime and he doesnt seem liked by Yokey either. Who seemed the most intelligent, chill dude. I got the impression he thought Neville was not well liked just from his body language
Interesting to see the pasting they are getting on other fan forums. And not just Arsenal and RAWK …. Except Newcastle
That’s not how the Middle East works as no income tax is paid on any wages/salary paid into that country. It would be very difficult to ask Mancini to pay 50% Uk income tax on 4 days work in their country where he was paid 5 million dirhams.
One, he would be paid into an account set up specifically for this reason and two, I doubt if the amount paid is even known to UK HMRC, it’s not as if Mancini and others would not have Middle East or European Bank Accounts (Swiss/Monaco) for this very reason.
If the tide turns then Sky will quickly turn and be the moral vanguard for football. They'll have Neville in a cape on the steps of Wembley giving a speech.
I imagine the media can't say much if its an active legal case.
But any fawning over that scumbag club by pundits or commentators needs to stop.
It's about money. Make some sort of stand and refuse to play and sponsors and the league will hold money back.
Money needed to pay players who would still need paying etc.
Make no bones about it, other clubs will think the same as wedo about City but they're probably told not to comment in the same way we are on forums about live cases.
Yep if such a erm morally strong character like Yorkie thinks he's a wrongun he must be.
Nonsense. Neville won’t give his speech until a few minutes after the verdict
Leicester were cheating when they won and when they were promoted 1st time, same as last seasons promotion in fact.
When will this case be over?They're so fecked aren't theygonna be a glorious extra celebration this summer when they're relegated down two leagues.
Matt Lawton says he’s pretty sure we are on the side of the majority.
Good to know we are probably on the good guys side.

Are there any of those petitions going on that have to be heard by parliament if they reach a certain number?
If there was one banning state ownership I’m pretty sure it would get hundreds of thousands at least

This feels like a Hail Mary by City. I'm genuinely starting to think they're f*cked, they know they're f*cked, and they're flinging sh*t at the wall in a desperate attempt to see if anything sticks.
Starting to fantasize about them being expelled from the league. Is that a possible scenario? Just get fecking rid of these serial cheaters?
That wasn't my point. The only reason it "works" in Norway is because we have agreements with a vast amount of countries in regards to sharing information about Norwegian customers, hiding cash in banks isn't as easy as it used to be. The same concept won't work in the case we are debating ref City players and state owners.
