@PrestwichBlue @speedlne Haven't even bothered to properly update the article from when they posted this last year

@speedlne You do know that CFG made a statement in their last accounts that they weren't expecting a fine over this? And if there's no fine, there's definitely no points deduction. Stick your head back up your arse.

🚨💣 Reports suggest Manchester City could face a 40–60 point deduction if they are found guilty of the Premier League’s 115 alleged financial rule breaches, a punishment that would almost certainly result in relegation. With Chelsea’s case now officially concluded and The FA having handed down its final sanctions, attention has now shifted entirely to Manchester City. While no decision has been announced and City continue to deny wrongdoing, the forthcoming verdict is expected to be one of the most significant rulings in Premier League history.

@LukeTryl That feels too far south. The line is somewhere between Stoke and Crewe I think.

With a renewed focus on the north where do Britons think the north of England begins? The average Brit thinks the north of England starts just above Loughborough into Nottinghamshire. Scots on the other hand are more likely to say it begins near their border.

@slbsn This reads like an LLM reasoning with itself

The FA panel's starting point was a FIFTEEN point deduction... but don't worry, it was somehow chopped by a third twice, suspended and then ultimately eliminated completely. 🤪

Martyn Ziegler deserves a Pulitzer Prize for this. He has saved football. There is no way that Infantino survives now and it's all because Ziegler somehow broke the story. If he allowed Infantino to do this on his own timetable, having the time to have clandestine chats in smokefilled rooms maybe he would have got it through but Ziegler had other ideas and that's journalism. Superb.

Australians coming out in favour of cheating. It's not quite "man bites dog" is it?

Jodrell Bank is the most visible causality of UKRI’s short sighted ‘vision’ for science, but as you’ll see below, there are many other valuable UK facilities and collaborations at risk. We became aware of the problem in the autumn of last year. It is not a result of the overall funding settlement for science after the spending review, which was quite generous I would say in the circumstances. Neither as far as we can tell is it a direct decision by ministers (all of whom have now gone in any case). Rather the problems appears to have been caused by senior management at UKRI focusing on short term economic ‘impact’ (whatever that means) rather than doing their job as custodians of the foundations of science. What must happen now is that the new ministerial team make the time (and space ;-)) to review the upcoming catastrophe, and instruct UKRI to do their job and focus on making Britain the best place in the world to do science, now and in the future.

Infantino's proposal would literally supercharge everything that was bad about the World Cup this year and embed that model into every World Cup going forward. Absolutely toxic and probably the death of the World Cup as we know it.

@MichaelFM92 Athletics is going to struggle to survive the era of there being literally anything else to watch instead

I guess TNT didn’t want this 😶

"As part of the plan all member associations will be able to access up to $20m in "one-off capital" to fund development." Now if only there was some word for that....

And people said there was no way back for Jeremy Corbyn

Got to feel for the ECB. They invented The Hundred and gave it the prime summer slot just for the entire cricketing world to be more interested in an overweight slip fielder who clicks his fingers

AI is literally in use in construction today, and has been adopting Digital Twins & BIM for years now. We need to be enthusiastic adopters of tech to make people more productive - that's how you bring young people in. Has @KanishkaNarayan signed off on this messaging?

I can't believe nobody wants to watch the Mumbai Indians London.

UEFA should just resign from FIFA. The World Cup would be nothing without the European nations, which have provided over half of the winners.

It seems almost bizarre to say it, but we might have been better off with Sepp Blatter.
