They will if he goes down.

Seemingly he did go down on one or more occasion and that's why he's in trouble

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

And for the salary we’ve paid him while he allegedly committed serious crimes.

To be fair, being able to write off £18m is a result.

He was not getting a new deal and would have left on a free.

No club would have offered near to £18m.

They will if he goes down.

I'm still not sure he will.

I'm still not sure he will.

When is the trial ?

I have posted this before, but for those who haven’t read it, I think it’s an excellent, factual based piece

Sheikh Mansour’s Biggest Win: Manchester City’s $4.6 Billion Increase In Value

With every significant achievement his team makes; from scooping a domestic treble to reaching the Champions League final, there is always that question: Why?

When is the trial ?

July I think. There was another hearing recently.

A few whispers not cut and dried.

Have they? The rags have finished second as often as they have in "the Klopp era"!

Totally forgot about the Rags. Hopefully it'll be a long time before they finish in the top 2!

Wait till the trial. Press will blame us.

It will be horrendous, especially as he started v Spurs
That said we are the least consideration here, these young women are real people and verdict depending, are real victims
The effect on a multi billion pound business is a minor irrelevance compared to the humanity involved

Yes we've had very little detail come out about the incidents. Still don't want him anywhere near our club again regardless.

I think that may be one of his problems, allegedly

25 July. They added another charge at the start of this month (June). It's interesting that they are adding more charges, whilst at the same time there are rumours that the cases could fail.

Thanks Maly

Pleasure mate. Thought it was refreshing to read a factual article by a financial journalist with no skin in the game, so we’ll worth the share (again)

Just a polite reminder that it’s not appropriate to comment about on-going legal trials.

Here’s what the Attorney General said last year:

“Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and everyone deserves a fair trial. The issue is really about discussing matters which should only be raised for the first time in front of the jury.

“A mis-judged tweet or post could have grave repercussions and interfere with a trial. A post on social media could mean a trial is delayed or at worst stopped because a fair trial isn’t possible – so I would caution everyone, don’t get in the way of justice being done.

“It is not only journalists or lawyers who can be found in contempt of court, ordinary members of the public can also do so and find themselves facing their own legal consequences.”

At the risk of boring you all silly, panjar in Urdu has a variety of meanings, including rib, skeleton and,,,,,er, frame - something which I suspect red shirt client "journalist" tariq panja knows from his time leaking CAS related shit in the service of his scarlet masters.

Panjar also rhymes with kunjar, which again can mean the name of a clan/tribe, gypsy, nomad, tramp.

The definition of kunjar I've grown up with has always been meaning in a derogatory way, basically equivalent to a ****, twat or wanker. QED! ;-))))

Panja is best described in Urdu as Farja Ka Fahash Name. A tad long winded but it translates into English as ****.

I’m not sure what’s funnier at the minute.
The clamour from rival fans to prove that Haaland wasn’t a City fan growing up or the fact that Fred cost more than him

 

[laserblue]

Wait till the trial. Press will blame us.

The press certainly won't refer to him as "Former Le Havre player Benjamin Mendy..."

Can I still call panja a lying ****?

Yes because its the truth.

Correct and always good advice, whether on here or elsewhere.
Having been a specialist court reporter for 11 years, a trial can be voided by online stupidity. Seen it happen many times.
That said our WhatsApp enemies are absolutely fucking guaranteed to turn up for Day 1 only when the prosecution’s case is laid out. Just to twist the agenda/narrative knife
They will then only return for the verdict.
Amateurs and crooks. They will rely on PA/Agente France Press for the remainder. Those guys will be there every day

Talk now of it going back to September
