Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 6mIt boils down to the fact that the UK is led by (and voted in by) people who think the UK is special and some kind of super power. Until the reality of that sinks in, the UK is doomed to failure on euro/world stage 000
Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 9mClarke there railing against the people having power, promoting the myth that "growth" is the only metric for success and of course the championing of thatcherism that ruined the UK. 000

Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 30/09/2026I would imagine it would be a class action - itself hugely problematic for settlements, but then the clubs are largely shouldering the burden together vs just city, who may be in league 2 with a transfer embargo. Doubt the saudis would stay around facing huge bills then too. 110
Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 30/09/2026"pending appeals". I would think having to apply to join league 2 with a 10 year transfer ban might just promote a sale of the club anyway. 000
Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 30/09/2026Yeah but in terms of sporting achievement there is no other way to do it. The compensation for loss of opportunity (inc financial benefit if being in the league) is up to a commercial settlement. If league 2 will have them next season, thats up to them. But they are only finishing this season... 100
Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 30/09/2026There is the penalty to discuss for the cheating, the above is just the sporting consequences. Transfer ban for the same length as they cheated. I dunno about a fine tbh, i'd let the other clubs sue, that will be the financial punishment. 100
Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 30/09/2026If they were relegated then obv they didn't take part in the future seasons leagues at any level so are now "defunct". They have to apply to rejoin the league at whatever level will take them. They shouldn't kick another ball until they get accepted somewhere for next season. Then... 100
Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 30/09/2026The City thing. If players on sham contracts started a game (even say a level of 3 players) then those games are 3-0 walkovers against city, historically. Then adjust league tables for who won what. The problem being they'd have been relegated, so then any PL games after that should be 3-0 w/overs 200

Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 27/09/2026It became a bit of a rehash of the arguments of yesteryear and well, here we are. There was a reason parades commission made the decision to not let the march happen for last many years but a form signed wrongly apparently was all it took. Power-sharing will be over for a generation now. 110
Gaz Hay @gazhay.com · 27/09/2026They ask every year but this year there was a procedural error. Unionists took it to high court for judicial review which meant they had to decide a new application.
