Looking at the news yesterday, it would appear that Chelski have a magician as an accountant! Assists being moved around and sold to holding companies that are still part of Chelski! Over £250m in losses in a 12 month period??? £50m plus paid to agents??? lol Smaller clubs beware!!

They even managed to sell their women's football team for £20 million to themselves, Redtree. Much like Derby selling their own stadium to themselves...... and that's magic. ???
Difference being, Derby are a small club and got hammered, Chelsea less so. I await the Man City verdict with waning interest.....

Don't think the powers that be will do anything. The problem is it's taking too long to announce it, get it out and deal with it. Either way, there will be appeals and lawsuits. Flying around, they are scared, and probably will pop it out just before the World Cup has a distraction. ?☕?

I believe they are going to make an announcement at the end of the season concerning City. According to the Daily Mail, it is a 60 point deduction and all the appeals have been heard and dismissed. But then, what do papers know. If true, we wouldn't have to worry about relegation.

It's wait and see, but if Chelsea are anything to go by, it won't be that harsh, although City have failed to cooperate by all accounts, which so goes against them.

Strange how Pep is talking about leaving along with Harland, don't want relegation on their cv.

If the Daily Mail say it, it must be true! A waste of brain cells just looking at their headlines, and if they're right, why wait? Arsenal have won the league, and they can go down with the bottom 2. Make it so, as Picard would say. ? ?

Better read than the red tops, I understand that there are lots of pictures in those papers.

Don't read any papers anymore, save the trees. ???

That's very noble of you, jester. I'm echo terrorist for my sins. I don't believe a word that the climate zealots say. But, ha ho, everyone is free to have an opinion. Time will tell.

After 20 plus years underground, I started my own gardening business, so nature and planting trees, etc., all help, plus I got paid for it. ??

That is a career change! But good on you for taking a leap forward, it must have been difficult, and I'm glad it worked out for you. My wife loves the garden, but I'm more at home in the workshop, fabricating and welding iron works for her garden.

Did a five year apprenticeship in a heavy engineering factory in Lowdham as a plater welder, then went to the Middle East to work. Happy days, but no health and safety back then. Now my lungs are screwed.

Ditto, plus ticker screwed, but in my 70s and a nice garden to potter around. Bliss. ?

An industry that is almost entirely gone, just like the pits, absolute disgrace. It's all very well politicians saying they will open industry back up again, but who's left to train them.
