There's no way a Republican-dominated Congress will vote to impeach a Republican President.

Bring on the mid-terms.

CAS overturned AC Milan's FFP Europa ban. Villa should appeal as well. Fuck 'em all.

http://www.kickoff.com/news/87791/ac-milans-european-football-ban-ffp-brea





Different rules , however the crux of Milans case was going forward under new ownership they could pay there way ...as can we now

I think the crux of it was the punishment didn't fit the crime.

In the case of points deduction in the EFL, unless a number of points is specified in advance with a sliding scale based on extent of failing FFP, I do not believe it would be enforceable in the eyes of the law. If it was open-ended and the EFL gave, say, a 10 point deduction to prevent a club being promoted, the club would immediately go to court for an injunction pending the result of a court case challenging it. The grounds for the injunction would be on the basis of the EFL not being able to put right after the event if they lost in court. Could you imagine if an injunction was given and promotion/relegation being held up. The leagues/divisions would come to a standstill. This is why I do not believe FFP failure will result in meaningful points deduction, only finance related or transfer embargoes. It will be different if they actually set the punishment in advance (which, by the way, I think they should bring in).

My view is that Dr Tony has a price he would sell for and these guys will pay it once they are backbone premier. The deal is part ownership now and buy at agreed price once there.
DRTony gets his money back and does not lose face in China (this is of critical importance in the Chinese business world) once there they I am sure have thier own plans

Your Nan would have said Lewis's not Rackhams.  Respect.

My nan would have referred to the back of Rackhams and included "fur coat and no knickers" in the same sentence- just what went on in St Phillips Square doesn't bear thinking about :)
I recall when I lived in Brum - a woman had her hair done in Rackhams and then attempted suicide immediately after by jumping out of the window - unfortunately she landed on a poor soul walking beneath and killed him/her instead -

My mom said it as well, except it was “feather bed” not suit.

I was just about to post that my mate's next door neighbour jumped off Rackhams and unfortunately she didn't land in a suit she landed on a passer by. Mrs Legge I think her name was, lived on Belchers Lane, Bordesley Green. True story.
