Did she at least introduce the Jodster to some of her friends?

Well she is in Europe, so not yet.

So what you are saying is next time you visit Liverpool you'll be hanging with Ingsy & you'll have a whole group of her friends ready for some jodinho action? You lucky bastard! !

Surely not. Will all of Fifa's alcohol sponsors allow this?

Hopefully it gives FIFA an excuse to move the tournament.

Might stop alcohol fueled hooliganism and violence though. I'd probably take that trade-off. Unlikley though. People will probably fight no matter what. Not sure how much worse alcohol makes things.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

May as well play the world cup behind closed doors.

They'd probably turn to their sponsors and ask them to make a non-alcoholic alternative.
We've all experienced a hot day, nothing more soothing and relaxing that a cold one.

What's next banning Brazilians wearing their bikinis.

What worries me is that we're rumoured to be chasing Qatar Airways as the Stadium Naming Rights sponsor as they want an English presence given Emirates Stadium and Etihad (airways) Stadium. I want nothing to do with them.

Funny how all these airlines run at huge losses while their countrymen starve and suffer human rights violations. Just another PR campaign.

Best to not sellout imo and retain a shred of dignity.

Etihad has been in profit for the last four years.

champions league games are sponsored by heineken yet you can't buy a beer at cl games.

Unless you're a member of the UEFA family, a corporate guest or one of the thousands of CSKA Moscow fans that were banned from our game against them a few years back but still found their way into the stands.

Etihad has never made a profit. They received 2.5 billion in funding from the Abu Dhabi Govt 2 years ago alone.

Anyone can say they are profitable when they don't release their financial statements. Like Trump.

Cellino must be unwilling to sell Leeds.

Riiiiight, believable story pal.

 

[moomba]

And also easy to deny because you just don't believe it.

[Bojan KantKick]

Forbes have debunked it.

 

[moomba]

No they havent. The best they can do is say that there will be suspicion until they disclose their accounts.

They also say Etihad will most probably become profitable if it isnt already.

Out of interest would this have been using Islamic Accounting standards?

Haha with any luck. If I did go to Liverpool, I'm sure I would catch up with her and probably meet Ingsy which would be pretty sweet. No plans to travel to England soon though.

Is there such a thing?

Wonder if it's as thorough as accounting standards in the Bahamas or Cayman Islands.

Yep and there are differences to western accounting reporting. I profess I'm no expert on it but it does differ in some key areas which can make them hard to take some meaning out of.

Has a more holistic approach encompassing religious aspects rather than purely economic transactions and values assets at current value as opposed to the historical cost.

 

[moomba]

Well. Learn something every day. The books were audited to ensure compliance with international standards fwiw.
