| UAE Man City threat on 10:07 - Oct 3 with 312 views | dirk_doone | Reports vary but it could cost the country anything between £7billion and £30 billion. The easiest way for the UAE to get what they want would be to investigate the provider of all the so-called "impartial" panel members for the FA and EFL, Sport Resolutions, and get their verdicts declared null and void. In our case, the ex-Middlesbrough player, David Winnie would have proposed replacing Saints with Boro in the playoff final and Lydia Banerjee, who'd advised Middlesbrough in the past, would have gone along with it, as he was the man with the football knowledge. The panel Sport Resolutions provided for the FA would then feel obliged to provide an equally draconian punishment. How Sport Resolutions and Middlesbrough managed to get away with it, Gibbo only knows. The "impartiality" of the people making these decisions needs to be thoroughly examined and, hopefully, Man City's legal team will do that, but it will be too late to help us.

It's all about money. These disciplinary panel members from Sport Resolutions are all in it for the money too. They're not doing it for their love of fair play. Having a disciplinary panel provided by Sport Resolutions making a decision for the EFL followed by a panel from Sport Resolutions making a decision on the same case for the FA clearly raises questions about independence and impartiality. These jobs Sport Resolutions provide them with are very well paid so they don't want to upset the apple cart by appearing to differ in any way on the severity of punishment to be meted out.

Not to mention Neil Bausor, Middlesbrough CEO , being Championship representative director to the EFL Board. Although at the time of the EFL investigation he did declare that he would have no involvement due to conflict of interest - Yeah, right |  | |  |
| UAE Man City threat on 10:30 - Oct 3 with 191 views | kingslandstand1 | Oh how we hanker for the days when football clubs were run by Gentlemen who got involved due to their love of their club and wanted to put something in to the local community rather than for their own benefit and financial gain and kudos. The players would have come through the junior sides within that club and "made the grade" |  |

I said all along that in my opinion they ( Sports Resolutions and Middlesbrough) got away with it because of the totally inept way the Board of S F C dealt with the situation. They thought that the matter could be dealt with by the old pals act at board level, lost control of the media from day one and didn’t hire the services of top flight lawyers until appealing the expulsion from the playoffs. In layman’s terms they took a water pistol to a gunfight. |  |
