CyderInACan Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 What with the shenigans going on at Derby - not just the drink driving and fleeing the scene but the double standards deployed thereafter towards the 2 drivers and the injured passenger, but also the sale and purchase of their own ground to themselves and employing the over-rated imo Wayne Rooney in a dual player and coach role to, again, seemingly cock a snook at FFP regs - and Cardiff with their thoroughly reprehensible public wrangling over the Sala financials, I would hope that City - under the ownership of Sir Steve and family - would lead by example should such situations arise. FFP wise Lansdown has long since demanded sustainability from the football club and with a background such as his I can’t imagine such financial chicanery as seen at Derby, Sheff Weds, Villa (&others) to circumvent the regs would be allowed. We seem to be adept nowadays at doing our business in private so I can’t see a situation arise where we’d publicly find ourselves in a position like Cardiff (god forbid we find ourselves in such anyway) We seem to have a desire to do things right nowadays. I hope we continue to do so as football has become a murky, duplicitous and thoroughly self centred circus. Even good old Rugby has finally summoned up the cojones to deal with Saracens and their blatant attempts to circumvent the salary cap and restrictions therein. Hopefully football can follow suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Whilst I agree with most of what you say, and I realise the main points are around the administration of BCFC compared to others, I’m always a bit uneasy when ‘morality’ is mentioned. It’s only a few weeks since events at Luton, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon bristol Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Its obviously been years now since the steve brooker prison issue, fortunately we havent really had any of this type of issue since then. If say tomas kalas who was signed for huge money got caught drink driving i wonder if the club would show the moral highground then? Hopefully we wont be put in that type of position!

Lets hope we don’t have to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout. Think that tells you a lot about SL and the club, in terms of the action he might take. With the recent Luton stuff he was straight on the front-foot too. I think we can be safe in the knowledge that SL has the right moral compass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted November 8, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 The Sala case, as sordid as it appears, is surely the work of the legal bods ensuring that no liability is admitted, they could be open to all sorts of costs if they were to admit liability. I know it doesn't seem right, but those in charge of the business, have to be acting in the best interests of it and that is sometimes not as palatable as we'd like. It may well be that most if not all clubs would be in the same position and dealing with it in a similar way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
