I m not disagreeing I am just saying what I think Simon Jordan was implying and that he was not actually being as conciliatory as it would appear

You need to remember that Jordan is totally clueless, nearly bankrupted his own club & now makes a living by trolling for a discredited Radio Station. He’s not to be taken seriously, he’s just there to wind people up & create discord

Sorry if already covered but curious to know something about the allegations that were time-barred.

Did the time-barring come into effect from the date the formal investigation was launched or from the date UEFA charged City?

According to UEFA’s own rules the 5 years would have been from an alleged breach

To be fair, he's the only journalist that's supported us against FFP, I think it's only fair to give him a click rather than pasting the whole thing.

And I say that as a Daily Mail hater.

Essential reading. Please pass on to anyone who ever doubts it or Indeed says City are corrupt. It's a brilliant piece of writing. Samuel is by a country mile the best sports writer in Britain. Easily.
 
Great piece By Martin Samuel

I also just read the Martin Zygler piece , which is a very matter of fact piece and gives a good look into how city's legal team as well as UEFA's worked.

Also the Henry Winter's piece starts off like a hit piece on city, but it is a fair read .

So should I compromise my feelings about the daily mail ?

I've read most of it now, yes its good but Samuel should find another job, though I couldn't recommend one as I hate the whole bunch.

We all buy gadgets and clothing from companies who make 11 year olds work 65 hours a week for pittance to make them. That doesn’t stop us buying these phones or trainers.

The Mail might well have owners and a workforce who’ve got questionable morals; but Martin Samuel is pretty much the only truly decent football writer out there, one of the only ones who’s been objective about City over the years, pretty much the only one who’s called it right about FFP.

He should be championed on this forum, no matter who he works for!
 
Just been on the Mail web site to download Martin Samuels article and noticed the poll ...................
72% voted that we should have been banned as we cheated
28% voted that FFP is a farce

I'm guessing that the 72% do not understand the ruling, or didn't bother reading it - we did nothing wrong except refuse to comply with UEFA's rules regarding investigations.

Were they the only two options?

I think it's because he knows he won't be coming back to the Etihad in the future.

Prior to lockdown, there were 'people' coming to the press box and asking after him.

Coward was forced to put his hood up. Apparently they were also waiting on the route he would take from the CFA media centre to the press entrance at the ground.

We can only take a dim view of such behaviour.

Makes me proud, well done City fans.
