PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

This Rob Harris is a fucking twat. Can see he's absolutely loving this.

In most areas of journalism, you need sources, corroboration & fact-checking.

But for some reason, in football journalism you can just guess, spread rumours, report what your United-supporting mate down the pub would like to be true ... & sensationalise whatever you want, based on your own biased agenda.

 

[Rolo]

Come on Micah, speak up for the club. Bat some of this biased shit back.

Yep, disappointing.

I think the suggestion that, the lack of a comma or apostrophe is what rival fans will pick up on, is way off the mark. Whatever mark it is.

I agree. Based on the reactions I've seen to Pep's press conference, I imagine people will just call us cheats with a victim complex before going back to complaining about their respective clubs' owners.

He needs a fuckin crack!

There is a rumour that one London club has been far more active in this than others and that yes they have almost certainly been both briefing certain journalists and also been a major player when it comes to lobbying the PL

I can imagine two London clubs that could fit that description tbh, and I’m not thinking of West Ham or Chelsea.

WTF…. Rob Harris has joined Micah, Neville and Keane for the pre match analysis

It was Deleney yesterday with BT as well, as I say, they know exactly what they’re doing.

Micah nodding along to Gary Neville saying, ‘City were a laughing stock around the time Micah started playing for them’ is probably worse than anything Delaney and Harris can say though!

He would need to have done his research, have his ducks in a row and hit them with cold hard facts every time a speculative insinuation is suggested or a lie is perpetuated.
I don’t think Micah is the man for the job. Not a job he wants to keep anyway.
Send Mike Summerbee in.

 

[stan bowles]

Yep, disappointing.

Think he got a bit choked when Cates said if City are found guilty he might lose his PL winner's medal. Bit of a low trick that from her.

Harris saying we won at CAS as alot was time barred. If we are going down that rabbit hole then hello dippers stadium bollox for starters.
2 to 1 majority on CAS shows we werent completely innocent. Again bollox

Why would people put themselves through watching that nonsense on Sky.

If there is no credence to this then nothing will be done. No harm in finding out. How do you know that printed quotations are not true?

Its an old quote, so I can’t recall where I first heard it wasn’t true - but the article below covers it in detail, and it seems it’s a distortion of a much less incendiary segment from his Autobiography.

The Mail is amazing right now. I might be wrong but I felt like the nation state narrative had died down but now it’s in the headline on a mail article.

How they have an article trying to drag Melbourne City in yet I carnt work out what they are even alleging.

Those days disappeared a long time ago I'm afraid.

Brilliant - who is she? That’s how people should be interviewed.

Think it’s a clip from Chelsea TV so must be one of their presenters mate

Why would people put themselves through watching that nonsense on Sky.

A complete stitch up. Micah’s not up to it unfortunately in terms of this type of issue but you’d hope he’d at least know the basics around the CAS decision and why it would always be a 2:1 win.

Surely nobody is surprised, it's Sky's proven approach .

Stop watching, stop quoting , as it just gives them breath .

Ignore the fuckers , it's not for the benefit of impartial or viewers without an axe to grind.

City owners arguably the most loved in football, jealous rivals should pipe down

IT HAS always been the most tribal of sports. One where the mood of an entire week can be shaped by 90 minutes. Eternally driven by emotion. And over the past few days we have had further proof of …

It’s hard to dislike Micah but he’s no Gore Vidal.

The article by Thomas in the Sun was very welcome and very surprising but isn't relevant to the present problems. The most serious charges are nothing to do with FFP of either the UEFA or PL variety but maintain that City are guilty of falsifying their accounts KNOWINGLY and the club would lose if Lord Pannick were to argue that the club did falsify the accounts because FFP placed unlawful and ridiculous limits on investment because this would not deal with the charges City actually faced. As Projectriver showed, the club faces ver serious charges and a threat to its very existence. So let's stop deluding ourselves that the issue is FFP. Lord Pannick will certainly fight the right case!
