Surely I'm the only one whos avoided most of the media outlets after winning the league?

All I've heard from people watching Sky or the BBC and having to reference our charges.

What should be a great time for us as fans and we get bombarded with hate

That's true but Richard Masters knew what he was getting into when he was personally vetted by Directors of LFC and MUFC for the job. What I would really like to know is why the two previous candidates accepted the job but then declined to take it up. One of them (Richard Pemsel) backed out after being the victim of a story about his private life leaked to the tabloids. The initial successful candidate (Susanna Dinnage) has never made clear why she pulled out. I wonder if she was worried about interference from certain clubs making the job an impossible task.
If we had a proper press in this country they would be asking why Masters was parachuted in for the role before he pushed for the Super League proposals. The robust line of questioning Masters was given by the Sports Minister at the recent Select Committe suggests that senior Government figures (and some in the Opposition) clearly smell a rat.

Or know a rat when they see one.
 
Any idea when Khaldoon’s end of season video will drop? I would expect a bit more meat on the premier charges without prejudicing our own case.

I've just watched this, I know it is The Athletic and people here generally don't like Sam Lee, but I think he's been very correct in giving his journalistic opinion about those stupid PL charges and how they are debated on social media in particular. Chappy as a moderator doesn't stir shit up, but this other fella, I have no clue who he is, is just not having it and we are already guilty in his book.

Another angle I would like to explore on city being state owned or "state run' seems to be the latest term is how is this control and management actually achieved. E g Are powers delegated to Sheikh Mansour, does he have to reger certain decisions to them, do the state approve appointments, spending etc .? Of course they don't . There maybe other specialists in this who know exactly what controls there would be in place but I know enough to know there would be a lot of controlling documents in place if we were state run.
Just wanted to flag up how much shit they talk that we are state run/owned but no idea probably never even crossed their minds this would need an actual governing constitution.

I like the idea of being state owned. Makes me want to apply for dual citizenship.

Can you imagine spitty having a debate with Khaldoon about our finances. It would be so embarrassing. I think I would actually feel sorry for spitty.

A more interesting debate would be Khaldoon and Simon Jordan. Jordan has owned his owned is own PL club and nearly run it to the ground so it would be quite interesting. Although you can bet that Jordan would back down from all the shite he has spouted on the radio if Khaldoon confronted him with it.

Thanks for posting that. Very surprised tbh. An actual balanced debate about the rights and wrongs. I don’t recall podcasts or journalists on the whole backing MCFC to take down ffp as it is not being used properly I.e loading clubs with debt. Not what it turned into, which was a protectionist racket. What choice did City have? Don’t participate in the league or champions league?

The football bodies are the only people responsible for this mess. Greedy fucks.

Overall tho very good.

Yeah if that big eared mofo is on it's way to M11, clad in blue ribbons come June 11, think Cool Hand Khaldoon will be photo bombing Blue Moon.

If the Treble happens, I'll be referring to this season as the Tally whacker!

His name is Adam Crafton, a big rag fanzine writer. He thinks we're guilty, nothing will change his mind.

Sam Lee had the rags and liverpool fans foaming at their mouths and spitting with rage for daring to suggest we're not guilty of anything yet and that these historic charges have no bearing on Peps titles.
