Given that Birmingham City was deducted 9 points for effectively signing a £2.5 million player in 2019 I think these punishments could be pretty severe to say the least...- Daniel Boden

Is it normally open book regardless of Covid do you know? I'm a little apprehensive as to the LPC most likely being examined 'normally' next year haha- Daniel Boden

Hahaha I'd forgotten how expensive pub pints were too - last week was very expensive 😂 That said, these pubs/bars/restaurants etc. have had to deal with so much over the last year or so, so if they raise the prices to help them get back on their feet then I don't mind that so much tbh- Daniel Boden

Completely take the point that the principles could well have changed since 2008 and that yes, to a large extent they are designed to prevent law breaking and covering up the truth in some way. And yes I think you're quite right in that principles 5 and 7, in practice, are probably the most...- Daniel Boden

That's precisely what I was saying? My point was that most lawyers or whoever else probably weren't fully aware of the toxicity of these products until after they had spectacularly blown up in everyone's faces and so couldn't really be blamed for that haha. The bankers on the other hand...- Daniel Boden

It's interesting because as I said in my other comment, a solicitor is only supposed to do as good a job for their client as possible until it goes against upholding public trust in the profession where, in this conflict, the duty to the public is supposed to win out. Clearly, though, the...- Daniel Boden

In the case of CDSs or CDOs that was partly, I'm sure, due to the fact the vast majority of people did not know how toxic those assets truly were! As you say banking regulation has changed significantly (for the better) since then thankfully so you would hope that such things on such a grand...- Daniel Boden

I've always wondered how lawyers wrestle with this on a personal level - some situations must be tough on a personal level e.g. the law firm who advised banking clients pre-financial crisis in 2007/2008. Like at what point are you able to step in? Having studied Ethics on the GDL this year the...- Daniel Boden

And the fact that if you lose your first few games, your club is effectively playing exhibition matches thereafter... it's just so badly thought through I'm amazed they even proceeded with it without consulting anyone else but the problem is that these owners literally don't care - read reports...- Daniel Boden

Yeah exactly they want a franchise model like the NFL/MLB with guaranteed incomes every year so they can get the maximum ROI on their investments but that is not how European football works and is the beauty of it- Daniel Boden

Also though, the arrogance to not even inform the players and managers of their plans and then hide behind them and make them face the media is staggering - the sooner reforms are implemented to prevent this from happening again the better :mad:- Daniel Boden

They won't kick the clubs out as they're too important to the league and generate so much revenue for the other clubs in terms of media rights etc. but they should absolutely be punished severely- Daniel Boden

My opinion, as an Arsenal fan, is that I was and still am absolutely disgusted by our and the other owners who are only interested in lining their pockets and having no regard for anything or anyone else. The arrogance of these individuals to try and destroy centuries-old clubs with...- Daniel Boden
