Thing is why would the Spanish Journo`s know anything more than anyone else Tolmie?

Maybe they spotted Tebas crying into his sangria.

Spanish journos on the whole tend to be more serious, maybe? Here it's wall to wall wankers, each with an agenda.

Don't think Peps comments mean a thing. He will have just placed his trust in Khaldoon and co, who may well have misplaced their trust elsewhere. People are getting way ahead of themselves

How do you know ?

They will only know what Pep might have told them, if anything.

They are confidantes for a reason, however.

Pep trusts a certain writer/s because he knows they put that relationship first over any cheap chance for a story.

I'm 6 months on here and so far have avoided giving my opinion on the subject. Seeing as you have specifically asked I will share my thoughts. Firstly I have noticed a real change in mood in the last few weeks since the poll went up and @projectriver provided his brilliant analysis.

Now gets ready to run for the hills*

As an outsider looking in and what I feel is the general consensus among other fans is City are obviously guilty. In so many ways it reminds of 2 cases, the John Terry/Anton Ferdinand case and the Suarez/Evra case. The Chelsea fans weren't as ferocious as they were inwardly delighted to have a racist as captain but still wouldn't have it be said that only true version of events was the one provided by their spiritual leader. With Liverpool you had players wearing t-shirts in support and supporters learning intricate pieces of law and Montevideo slang and swearing blind their man is the victim when literally everyone else is looking at them and saying what the fuck is wrong with them? To this day they won't have anyone say Suarez was a wrongun despite a mountain of evidence and a series of various crimes for differnet teams in different countries. They wanted to sue the FA, Ferguson,Evra, UEFA and anyone else that didn't believe them. It was only the eventual intervention by sponsors that had them put their guns away. In 20 years time those fans will still reject any accusation he made racist remarks.

I think something similar will happen here, City will lose and eventually sponsors/investors will demand a line is drawn underneath this. I won't line, I do think City are guilty but I don't think this is anywhere near as clear cut as the Suarez case simply because there is so much more involved and City at every level (bar internet security) seem to be world leaders, add in another jurisdiction which UEFA have no rights in and it becomes a much closer call. It's so technical and so huge that there is a massive chance someone in UEFA has fucked up somewhere along the line, I suspect City's bluster is based around having the confidence that the best legal team money can buy will find that mistake.

* you did ask.

Have you actually read any of this thread ? If so how do you weigh the arguments on here about for example who owns what, meaning of related party, fair value, settlement arrangements, audited accounts on one side vs the other side which is city are guilt because the media and UEFA who are both corrupt incompetent and bias on the other ? I am sure your not entirely bias or stupid but when you look at the information on here even without a pro city bias like we might have its almost impossible to think city have done anything wrong

She's known as Sligo Stella.

It's a tough swallow but her brother taught her well.

I must admit the silence on the result has been deafening coupled with an almost refusal by our known enemies in Europe having a dig at City with obvious hypocrisy.

I can understand the result silence but not the lack of insults and even var evidence in our favour ( re Burnley pen).

Is this the quiet before the storm or a chastened enemy?

 

[Paladin]

Did someone say something about a Jose tweet? Please will one of you enlighten me, as I've missed it in the thread. Ta.

 

[SidJames]

Life is never dull as a City fan.

We are like the " TV Housewife's" of World football.

Been like this as long as i can remember. :-)

Going to read the Tea Leafs again.
