he knows where his bread is buttered

This reminds me of a phrase that always makes me laugh

”He’s buttered the cheeks” 

Also, very fitting to the topic in hand.

Winter often has nice things to say about NUFC but ultimately he knows where his bread is buttered like the vast majority of them. 

 

I've never heard him speak about Sunderland but I'm just going to assume he loves them because to know them is to love them, obviously.

[Monkeys Fist 42945]

If he’s got Netflix, then they’ll automatically be his 2nd team, like the rest of the world.

One this pops into my head semi regularly about that Sunderland show.

 

When they are giving Chris Coleman shit outside the stadium and a fan calls him a cunt, his response is completely mental.

 

”Cunt am I? I’ve got 6 six kids”

 

Wtf has that got to do with anything?

I can't get away with Coleman at all, never have and it pre-dates anything to do with Sunderland.

I know they spend bucket loads but I reckon there's at least 2 recent titles they don't win if it's not for him, like.

Not sure what has happened there since I posted. Looks as though @toonotl could see something. 

Was a BBC Sport link about city's lawyer's response to the proposed news rules with the threat of further legal action. 

New Premier League APT rules 'unlawful' - Man City - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c8rlm680j0mo

Probably this. 👍

ah yes. beggars belief that they're looking to bring in amended rules just before the tribunal outcome is announced.

 

i suspect they'll get voted in and city will look at it carefully then restart court proceedings.

Especially around the suggestion that previous shareholder loans issues would be ignored. 

Sounds as though the Villa owner is going to vote against as well. 

[toonotl 3070]

I'm hoping this whole shareholder loan debacle sees the entire system crumble. Doubt it. But one can dream. It's remarkable that shareholder loans were excluded in the first place and only came to be challenged on the back of the PL, acting as the personalised attack dog of the "big club" establishment", in trying to fuck over City. It's as Gemmers has said on numerous occasions: this is a situation in desperate needed of independent regulation.

 

On the topic of rules introduced to fuck us over by the way, does the club own St. James' Park? If so it'd be just tops if the Saudi's injected some cash to help the club purchase new land for a new stadium, a purchase exempt from PSR considerations, if I'm not mistaken, since land purchase would be capital expenditure, and then immediately sold St. James' Park to a PIF subsidiary for massive "profit" before the PL could rush through a new rule to stop us doing exactly what Chelsea did in selling off their own hotels to themselves to raise a few hundred million worth of PSR headroom. That would be just peachy.

 

So long as I'm understanding this racket correctly, there is nothing to stop us doing such a thing. Is that correct, so-called accountants?

Leased from the city council so can't sell St James' Park. 

[ewerk 31121]

We can sell the stadium, just not the ground it sits on.

[LondonBlue 815]

or do a chelsea and build a hotel and sell it to yourselves

 

oh don't know if it's connected but our new stand will have a hotel attached 😏

[LondonBlue 815]

 

if this vote doesn't go City's way, and you'd expect the premier league not to hold the vote if they didn't think they have 14 in the bag, then i'd expect City to immediately take it to a new tribunal (assuming the "unlawful" aspects are still present). if that happens and City win again then the premier league will look very very bad.

 

everton should vote with us but they might not be able to given the whole shareholder loans aspect.

 

i worry about what happens if City lose and the american owned clubs grow in number

 

actually nah i don't do worry, i'll always have Agueroooooooooo
