No one has said it could be worse, some have said the transfer embargo for 3 transfer windows is not cast in stone, it can be appealed against and it is possible that the issue can be sorted.
It might not be three after appeal but it will be at least one
This one
The one where we have no centre forward etc etc
 
No smugness here son. I'm not the one praying for the club to go bust so I could be proven right. Weird.

Me neither. I’m deeply concerned about the club’s future both short-term and long-term and that’s why I’ve wanted this charlatan to sell the club and **** off for the better part of a year.

I actually wish he was a normal and sensible club owner and I even had a slither of hope he had turned some sort of corner this summer but he clearly hasn’t.

I mean, not only has he not turned a corner - this is the worst yet.
 
Based on the timeframe given by Buckingham, it seems like the Barry fee should’ve been paid at the end of February and the 30-day grace period was up to the end of March.

The only thing I can imagine working in City’s defence is if they had a written agreement from Aston Villa to delay the payment until the summer.

The HDM article earlier mentioned that we believed we had a credit note and that we have evidence that the schedule wasn't missed, as there was no schedule due to the agreement with Villa. Seems irrelevant though if we owe other clubs money as well.

However if we've only been 'charged' on one specific count, other 'issues' are not relevant to this charge.
Obviously like most people this is just my guess, not based on known 'fact' more conjectur at this point...

It could be that we had a credit note.

With 17 different clubs.

And somebody smelt a rat.
 
The odd thing is, if you're short of cash, the first thing you'd expect to go is things like free holidays. It also begs the question, why spend all that money on installing safe standing, there was no clamour for it and no financial benefit, so it seems a fairly large expenditure that was easy to bin?


Wouldn’t have happened under “Sir” Jim

It's okay according to AI and CAB...

Citizens Advice can provide guidance on credit notes, particularly in the context of refunds and consumer rights. While businesses can legally offer credit notes instead of refunds, they cannot insist on a credit note if you are legally entitled to a refund. For example, if a business is legally required to offer a refund due to a faulty product, they cannot force you to accept a credit note. Citizens Advice can help you understand your rights and navigate these situations.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Credit Note Basics:
    A credit note is essentially a voucher issued by a business to a customer, often as an alternative to a cash refund.
  • Legality:
    Businesses can offer credit notes, but they can't force them on you if you're legally entitled to a refund.
  • Consumer Rights:
    You have a legal right to a refund for faulty goods, goods not as described, or goods that don't do what they are supposed to.
  • When a Credit Note is Acceptable:
    Credit notes are generally acceptable if you're returning an item simply because you've changed your mind (unless the business has a specific return policy that allows refunds).
  • Citizens Advice Role:
    Citizens Advice can help you understand your rights, determine if you're entitled to a refund, and negotiate with businesses if they are trying to impose a credit note against your wishes.
How Citizens Advice Can Help:
  • Explain your rights: They can clarify the legal position regarding refunds and credit notes.
  • Advise on next steps: They can guide you on how to approach the business and what to say.
  • Assist with complaints: If you're unhappy with the business's response, Citizens Advice can help you with the complaints process.

Interesting. So they sent us a faulty Louie Barry, and only gave us a credit note. So technically we can appeal on the grounds we should have been given a full cash refund.

Anyone else heard the rumour Acun apparently hates puppies and kittens?

The source it came from wouldn’t make **** up specially not a claim so bold as that.
