One of the plus points of the FFP saga as it's played out over the last eight days is that surely no Blue can any longer be in any doubt as to the proper judgement on David Conn.

He's a serial purveyor of dreary, whingeing bilge who's prepared to lie about MCFC in the interests of his paymasters. So let's have no more assertions on here that he's worth listening to. Research his history with FC United if you have any doubt about that.

He's also wrong. UEFA and Liverpool FC colluded to corruptly write-off £50 million on a project that the latter spent less than a million on, thereby avoiding an FFP ban. That was an act of corruption by both parties that Conn is too thick to or too venal to see. He's on the wrong side of this argument and nothing more than a perpetuating factor in UEFA's/Liverpool's corrupt activities.

If I know it then Conn knows it so why does he ignore it?

if there is a genuine reason that Conn could fault our owners then I’d like to know it then I could make up my mind. The problem is I’ve heard so many ludicrous lies I don’t believe a word he says.

It’s click bait. These articles are being written to piss off City fans. It’s like a conveyer belt of shit articles just to piss us off.

that’s clear they are actually having a WhatsApp laugh, it will be “triggered” gifs all round.

maybe we should just follow the lead of the club & say fck all until we win the case.

if Liverpool can overcome chasing Juventus fans which led to a wall collapsing & killing 39 fans (how old was the youngest)

if the Rags can overcome throwing the widows & children of players who died at Munich

then I think we can ride this bullshit.

Overlooking the fact that Liverpool failed FFP in 2013 and only got away with it because they failed to qualify for Europe and again in 2015 when they fraudulently offset £35 million (some sources quote £50 million) against non-existent stadium expenditure on the non-existent Stanley Park Project. Whatever the figure it's rather a lot for mowing the grass a couple of times.

Wonder when UEFA will reopen Liverpool's FFP examination of 2015

It is political not football related for sure. We are football fans not politicians. Every new owner has to pass a fit and proper person test and ours did so that's that.

They can talk about Yemen etcetera but who sells them the weapons? We live in a country that invaded a country and started an illegal war based on a lie that killed thousands of men, women and children, so how dare anyone living here lecture other countries on human rights?

Conn can have his views but to consistently bad mouth the club he is supposed to support, while blowing smoke up Liverpool's and EUFA's arse is unforgivable.

Ha ha isn't it just. I'm not on it I just have Rabin's tweets on my home page and got them off there.
To be fair I thought I saved them in sequence but alas technology is over my head.
Supposed to be top to bottom numbered 1 to 5 but I've managed to fuck that up.

So you've done a Seaford ?

I see I’ve come in for some fair abuse on here for an apparently stupid comment.


However, let me just explain why I’m concerned. Reading the 2000 plus pages on here has given me the assurance that City are on safe grounds and will win the case. Ranging from, UEFA didn’t even look at our defence to proof that the Etihad sponsorship was clearly paid by the Executive Council from Abu Dhabi and not from our owners.


The lawyer we hired is famous for a technicality in fighting Brexit. So while I’m as concerned as everyone else here on the outcome, I’m merely questioning the need for this kind of approach for our case. Obviously I don’t want the shittiest lawyers but just asking why we really have to get the best at 20k if we’re sure of our case?

Fair enough mate, and not to be deliberately argumentative, but hypothetically if you were a multiillionaire and you were (wrongly) accused of a serious crime and believed you had the evidence to prove your innocence would you get a legal aid lawyer to present it to the court or the best QC your money could buy?

I'd go for Rumpole or Kavanagh and sod the expense. My freedom is too important to save a few quid even if the evidence I had was able to be worked with by a cheaper lawyer.
Now imagine the "other side" had already stitched you up on an earlier trumped up charge and I imagine you'd want to take less than zero chances.

That's all city are doing and all power to them.

There's an old saying, innocent people need a solicitor in a courtroom more than anyone else.
