St Samuel jumping ship as well.....so soon
"
By MARTIN SAMUEL - SPORT FOR THE DAILY MAIL

"There will not be much sympathy for Manchester City in football. They misled UEFA and its Club Financial Control Body. They inflated figures, deceived over revenue streams, and the size of their punishment, the suspension from European competition, the fine of £25million, is confirmation of the gravity of this offence."

did we really Martin?
He does say this, immediately following that paragraph:
If this case is proven after appeal, City did wrong, that is unarguable

I don't think he's on anyone's side, he is atleast calling out FFP for what it is. A weapon of the cartel of football. Braver and more honest than 99% of the journalists out there.
 
The full article is a very measured and sympathetic one. No problem with MS, he’s the best of the press pack
yeah right, he didn't write this opening para then?

very measured.....just padding his posterior in case we don't win the appeal - you wouldn't think he needs it

What? We fell foul of rules hand crafted to make sure we did? And PSG hasn’t. Well colour me surprised.
 
Deep down we all knew it would come to this, the club must have too. How many years has this dragged on for now? It feels like forever. UEFA, the media, individuals have all chipped away at us, fined us, bad mouthed us with impunity and we have stayed silent, smiled, "Taken a pinch." It doesn't work. It never has. Bullies have to be confronted and defeated, that is always the way or you stay a victim forever. Now is the time to fight the lot or roll over and die. No more appeasement.

We should take the whole ffp protectionism rule to the court's, no way is that legal, what do we have to lose?
