PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Unfortunately for him, he really isn’t doing very well for himself.

Its been reported he has quite serious mental health problems, and genuinely needs to access some help and support. He’s also had some very unfortunate luck in his personal life which I’m sure hasn’t helped with his general wellbeing.

He’s clearly a fantasist - which I suspect is linked to his problems - and tries to pass himself off as knowledgeable on a subject it’s painfully apparent he knows nothing about.

He publicly embarrassed himself by being called out by the High Courts for trying to pass himself off as an expert in football finance, when it was abundantly clear as soon as he opened his mouth on the subject that he had no idea what he was talking about - and showed a complete lack of even the most basic understanding on his supposed field of expertise.

He was essentially admonished for being a time waster - like one of those charlatans who pretends they’re a qualified doctor and charges legal firms to be a specialist witness in court, when the reality is they’ve never even attended so much as a single lecture at medical school.

He’s a bedroom fantasist and self-proclaimed ‘specialist’ with absolutely no substance to back up the title he’s anointed himself with.

Undeterred, he continues to publicly embarrass himself on a regular basis by sharing his ‘insights’ through his website and social postings, demonstrating to anyone who interacts with him just how little he grasps about the basics of football finance.

He’s clearly got some very deep rooted psychological problems - so whilst it’s easy and very tempting to laugh at him and dismiss his mindless ramblings as evidence of his rampant idiocy, he’s clearly got himself into a very sad situation and I hope he gets the help he needs.

Yes. I made the same point a few months ago. He has a young family to bring up but clearly has some issues to deal with, some quite understandable. His infatuation with City may help pay some bills, but I am not sure it is helping his well-being.

These are things that Harris would know if he had any kind of genuine expertise in his professed specialist area, so his errors speak volumes. And he then goes on, later in the discussion, to retort in the manner shown in the tweet below. I'd regard those responses as lame even if they came from a child.



The whole dialogue between the two of them reads like exactly what it is: an exchange between, on the one hand, a serious professional person who's eminent in his field and knows what he's talking about (Stefan), and, on the other hand, a bad-faith fucking simpleton (Harris).

EDIT - To make crystal clear which is which, though I hope people realised anyway! ;)

Would anyone linked to Silver lake or the CO OP be a related party for a shirt sponsor?

For silver lake, I imagine the answer could be answered by knowing if audi, Allianz or Adidas are classed as related parties for bayern.
I don't know the answer but someone on here may do.

I do sympathise with Harris if he’s suffered some sort of awful tragedy, which people are alluding to.

I just wish he’d stop this relentless vendetta against my club.

I too hope he finds something more worthwhile in his life,rather than his one eyed obsession with Manchester City.

I wouldn't waste time worrying about his relentless vendetta,it says an awful lot about his state of mind and his lack of self awareness.

Best off leaving him to it and ignoring his bizarre rantings.

I think you all know that that there are two points there…….. they should be counted but aren’t!

Harris's tweets today are very reminiscent of Delooney when Stefan pointed out the time-barred issues in relation to the CAS case. Impenetrable was the word he used at the time. Anything which requires them to put their personal bitterness to one side and engaged in reasoned thought is "impenetrable" to them.

As Harris has been utterly obnoxious and unnecessarily aggressive in dealings with a couple of knowledgeable Blues I know and like who were interacting with him quite reasonably, as he's an utter obsessive who goes beyond all reason in his view of City, as he doesn't know even a tenth as much as he likes to think he does about the business of football, as his tweets in the past have demonstrated that he lurks on here, and as this clearly rankles with him when we mention it, I present this board's regular public-service announcement:

YOU AREN'T AN EXPERT IN FOOTBALL FINANCE, NICK, AND EVEN THE HIGH COURT RECOGNISED THAT FACT.

You're just a talentless, know-nothing fucking arsehole.

I would like to add to my esteemed poster above by saying you are a sad pitiful bitter translucent ginger vermin and as you read here, I hope it makes your piss boil you utter turd.

What’s the high court call out in reference to - must have missed that story
 
I had no idea who Nick Harris was until I read this thread.
On Twitter he has 140K followers but compare this say to Erling's Instagram post last night, its on 2.5million !
I think we are giving him way too much attention.

Maybe that's why they are all bitter towards us as it's obviously our fault.
Man city ruining cunts lives at the mail since 2008.
 
Seems like for Harris, the charges by the PL are all he really needs. He -- and enough of followers -- will always focus on the charges and the volume of the charges, claiming "where there's smoke, there's fire." They'll always be able to raise doubt as to City's legitimacy and our guilt.

The smear and reputational damage won't ever go away, and that's Harris's win.

It’s actually funny when there’s a one sided vendetta & he keeps looking a ****.

He’s the “Wiley Coyote” of journalism.

Harris positioned himself as a ‘Football Finance Expert’ when giving evidence in the Barry Bennell case - and the Judge specifically ruled that there was nothing in any of the evidence he provided that qualified as in any way expert.

The Judge’s guidance was that Harris’ evidence should not be considered to be that of an ‘expert witness’, as he had referred to himself, and therefore should not be considered as such in the final judgement.

He merely made a series of factually apparent statements with no expert insight applied or offered at any point.

The Judge essentially enforced a legally considered evaluation that Harris is a complete fantasist, who passes himself off as an expert - whereas in reality he’s merely an average dullard who took the stand and stated the blindingly obvious when called upon to apply his ‘expertise’ to the evidence presented.

A pretty humiliating evisceration of the mad bastard’s fantastically inflated view of the apparent ‘insight’ he holds in relation to his supposed specialist subject!
