As a former football club director, I know for a fact that she had a legal duty to always act in the best interests of the club. That is a fundamental responsibility. If she actually did what she said she did... and I personally think she's full of shit... she could and should be in a lot of trouble. As a second point, why on earth did the others in that conversation not call her out on it?
@@charliekenwright6324 But there could be good female commentators, I don't think it should be about gender, or whether a person has been in the sport, it should be about professionalism.
@@unknown11215Easily. You can’t artificially influence a price of a commodity by creating phoney interest. Man City and Guardiola are specifically mentioned; not that it actually happened. But it’s deformation of character. Not to mention she’s in breach of her own contract by saying she’s actually done this in her job - which is going against her contract with Aston Villa. Her contract will state that she will act with integrity and ethics in conjunction with Aston Villa. She’s basically opened herself up to be sued by Aston Villa for breach of contract & business fraud. Also by Man City for deformation of character, by suggesting they operate in similar ways. (Keep in mind this is a club which is currently under investigation for 115 breaches of financial irregularities. And I’d imagine that his majesty’s customs & revenue will be very interested in looking into wherever she’s worked at prior to this position and going through everything she’s ever sanctioned because of her lack of awareness in the business world. This is always a problem when you employ a former player in a commercial business role. They don’t have a clue about legal presidency’s. In simple terms: She’s absolutely shagged it. Simon Jordan actually did really well in the following interview by shepherding the conversation away from her initial comments - because as a career businessman he understands perfectly that what she’s just said could effectively ruin her life if the wrong people hear it. Whilst she’s talking to Ally Mccoist it’s relatively safe; because he’s just a former player - he has no knowledge of what is legal or not, or what is fraudulent or not.
City need to pursue this in court. Just another allegation, this time against Pep, without any foundation. People need to understand when they come out with false allegations, they can be punished, if they have made them up.
Yes, it can be but it largely depends on the facts. At the very least, in my opinion, it can be viewed as a conspiracy to defraud (common law offence). If she has made false statements/representations (which seems to be the case) to her boss and/or other parties then the Fraud Act comes into play. I am truly shocked that someone would openly admit to large scale market manipulation. The women's game needs to be investigated if what she is saying is true. In terms of civil law, various parties could legitimately sue. I am a lawyer of 8 years.
One of the dumbest things i have heard. Why would the only club serioisly in the running for him ask a rival which effectively has endless funds to get in a bidding war
Privately educated, paid for by her dad, a former Nigerian senator who has a mansion at Wentworth and a garage with 4 rolls Royce cars...Check your privilige Eni!
The worst thing about it is, if she was suggesting it. Then ok. But she thinks she knows it all, because of her so called ‘experience’ Also after seeing her on Simon Jordan, the football world gave her an inch, and she’s trying take a mile. Stay in your lane babe
She ticks all the boxes. Imagine accepting a job not on merit but because you have ticked a box. When she boasts as a former sporting director it makes me puke.
This is a load of BS. What incentive does Man City or any other big club have in helping their rival knowing it’ll Strengthen us they don’t even want to sell us players anymore. Besides if this was the case why didn’t Arteta do that for all Arsenals top targets so we can get them in the past a lot of talk sports pundits just talk rubbish 😂😂
She is bound by law to act in the best interests of the shareholders. If she has knowingly coerced her employer into signing a player for a larger fee than they otherwise would have paid, due to her own suggestion of persuading a rival club to place a bid for reasons other than a genuine intention to buy, it is a breach of her duties as director. She, as director, has a fiduciary duty and obligation to act in accordance with the best interests of the shareholders.
She is an adult and i hold her responsible for what she says. It is her fault. ▸ Her father was a MP in Nigeria, which she conveniently omits. ▸ Despite this, she only obtained a 3-yr degree from a non-selective university - Brunel U. ▸ and a 1-yr legal certificate from a diploma mill - "The University of Law" ▸ Teammates refused to room with her because of bad attitude/behavior. (The Times) ▸ Pulled a Lioness teammate's (Alex Scott) hair during training (The Times) ▸ Publicly chastised Chelsea teammates over racism for celebrating a win with their coach. ▸ Left Juventus after 18 months of constant complaining. ▸ Handed unearned executive roles in football, but... ▸ was demoted after 1-year as sporting director of Angel City FC. ▸ and terminated ("mutual departure") 1-year after that. ▸ "Failed Up" again by earning men's soccer TV contracts with ITV, BT, Amazon, Fox Sports.
Said it at the time, but what was more amazing was how she spent the next week in interviews reiterating her beliefs without recognising the level of amorality in her actions or allegations of fraud in others, let alone showing how little she understands the commercial and legal sides of the business... as a sporting director! the fact she has kept employment says a lot about the women's game. even harry would have struggled to get himself out of such a clanger.
True I’m not a big fan of hers however.. what about all other footballers that have obviously done the same Should they be called out too? Are you gonna talk about that? I see, that’s a conversation you really don’t want here.
Of course it's fraud and illegal. She admitted to telling lies and scheming to make someone (her boss) into paying millions of pounds more than they need to. If no other teams submits an offer for that player, then her boss has paid millions more than they needed to, that is the definition of fraud. What do the other teams director(her oppositenumber) get out of the deal, and she would get a percentage bonus for getting that player
