Harris is largely irrelevant and mild iteration His allegations were brushed off like one would brush off an insect If City chose to sue him it would take up valuable executive time and high light the original accusations giving it oxygen City would be judged the bully and wouldn’t win even if the the case was wonI really think we could have got him on this. Just posing the allegation as a question doesn't get him off the hook. It was a defamatory comment and if we sued Harris he would have to prove it was true (the burden of proof falls to him in a Civil Action). He made the allegation at a public press conference seen by millions of people which would have impacted on the size of damages. However, and this is a bit ironic, I think we are out of time because in the UK you need to launch such a defamation action within 12 months.
Which one. Colin Wanker or Stephen?Warnock on 5 live saying its our legal team who have protracted the process to make it time barred.
We must have done something wrong for UEFA to have charged us.
Shouldn’t let pigshit thick pundits do anything other than co-commentate.
Bottomless pit of money thrown at lawyers.
What a c*nt
Yes, will be glad to see the back of him. Complete tit of a man.Jose is finished and was when he went to utd - he is outdated tactically and everyone is wise to his game - he will fail at spurs as well and then disappear from the premiership - who else would have him - Arsenal, Liverpool, back to Chelski for a third go?? We certainly wouldnt ever have him and i cant imagine him going to any other club as they wouldnt be big enough for his ego.
He will fuck off abroad again and hope fully become irrelevant permanently.
Colin was busy trying to keep M'brough up.Which one. Colin Wanker or Stephen?
Good point. He hates us as well though.Colin was busy trying to keep M'brough up.
I hope we will win the champions league to rub it in and overshadow LiverpoolWhat makes me smile is that by the time LiVARpool are doing their open top parade for winning it this season, we’ll be doing ours for winning it next season!!!
I don't think he does, he was co-commentator for one of our games earlier this season, and he was overflowing with praise about how Pep teams play.Good point. He hates us as well though.
I just remember him on Talksport a few years ago saying he really hoped we got hammered in one of our cup finals by a team he wasn’t associated with. Can’t remember which one.I don't think he does, he was co-commentator for one of our games earlier this season, and he was overflowing with praise about how Pep teams play.
Agreed. But I still think it might be useful to pick off a couple of big-hitters who have defamed our leaders and take them to the cleaners. It would fire a shot over the bows of the rest of the media. All we want is fair and balanced coverage and robust but fair criticism when we deserve it. City are certainly seen as a soft touch by some journalists while United and Liverpool are much more aggressive when they are wronged.Harris is largely irrelevant and mild iteration His allegations were brushed off like one would brush off an insect If City chose to sue him it would take up valuable executive time and high light the original accusations giving it oxygen City would be judged the bully and wouldn’t win even if the the case was won

I quite like the comments in the media about our lawyers, it's hardly like we have paid top dollar in a case against an individual is it.
We have been in dispute with one of the largest sporting organisations in the world, what did they expect us to do? Call Saul Goodman.
Let's not kid ourselves the media are painting this as big bad City against poor little Uefa and we have bullied them with our lawyers.
Brennan nails it
Now City have been cleared of breaching the rules, I keep hearing FFP is no longer fit for purpose. Which makes it very clear what that “purpose” was.
Bloody hell. I knew nothing about this. My jaw dropped when I read it. What a hypocrite.Disgrace is a good word for Peg to use. He knows all about disgrace after being given a suspended jail sentence for tax evasion.

This was a story which got virtually no traction in the British press.
I bet no one asked him about it today even though it is an obvious question to ask of a convicted criminal who has been found guilty of financial fraud himself and yet chooses to lecture our club about FFP.
This - sure I remember Dave Whelan (I think he broke his leg), when FFP was being devised, saying United had been in touch and they needed these rules voting in to 'stop City'.
You get the detailed reasoning later in the full judgement. They just tell you what laws / regulations that the judges think apply to each charge and the presidence of each. Any legal team worth their salt can work out what the judgement will be as a result.Surely a copy of the detailed reasoning for the verdict is a " requirement" as a just in case should others make incorrect biased statements.
Factual evidence and its use should not be declined just in case.
