PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Noticed Delaney has really reigned back ffp now and seems to be concentrating on football strangely. Wonder if legal teams are starting to flex. Also Harris falling from grace at national newspapers to an online blog also snacks of a shift from paymasters not wanting to employ these people.

A music reviewer does FOUR YEARS of posts on albums/gigs and on the eve of the final posted that. Fuck em.

Delaney has a book out later this year on sportswashing so he’ll be back on our case soon enough.

If its any consolation, when the day comes that then outcome of the tribunal is announced, none of us will be in any doubt that its happened.

Even the delicate flowers.

None of us can be certain it will happen. It may have been a dopey question as @Gaylord du Bois said, but nobody should be saying it's happened when it hasn't, whatever the reason for doing so. Just my opinion of course.

Plenty of stuff here to go to court with!

C'mon City.. this is way over the line and you're not facing "Rebecca Vardy's account" mitigating factors.. he's specifically mentioned --- City by name!

Stefan clearly denied any suggestion that "a cartel set up UEFA's FFP rules in 2008." Platini was the architect and he has publically stated that the control of debt element was taken out because of pressure from major European clubs. The LFC, MUFC Arsenal, Spurs collusion was much later and was cumulative. The best illustration of it is the hateful eight letter which was circulated by Arsenal. Is Harris seriously suggesting that LFC and MUFC didn't put pressure on Richard Masters over the PL investigation?

I think clever folk would observe what I believe is called cognitive dissonance, ie holding two contradictory beliefs.

lets go with City are owned by an oppressive state, ok I know that’s not true but let’s go with it. Arsenal, Man Utd etc take money in the form of sponsorship deals with oppressive sates ie the Emirates and Saudi, but that’s ok.

its like us being owned by Al Capone and the others being paid sponsorship by Al Capone, would that really be ok? Of course it’s bollocks.

Newcastle being owned by the Saudi’s is vile disgusting and immoral whilst United being bankrolled by enormous Saudi sponsorship deals for over 10 years is good, clever business

@projectriver Listened to the podcast this morning in the car. Fantastic stuff Stefan.

Harris has some sort of pathological issue with us. My understanding of the background is that our media team tried to engage with a number of journalists they thought they could establish what you might call a symbiotic relationship. In other words, we'd be open with them, and would expect objective reporting. This clearly failed over the longer term but was possibly productive for a while, with us seemingly getting a fairer hearing in some quarters. I don't know for sure who else that list included but I'm 99.9% sure Harris was & my suspicion is that his claimed "sources" were simply official ones.

I thought he was a serious journalist (made that mistake with Conn as well) so I would exchange information with him. I believe the email from me that he refers to in the podcast is one with the Booz Allen presentation prepared for HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, in support of Etihad's defence of the Open Skies case. As part of that case, the presentation was in the public domain in the New York court.

However at some point he turned on us. Whether that was due to personal or other reasons only he knows. Since then he's twisted everything he can to try and insinuate our wilful misleading of anyone we needed to mislead. Like that snake Conn's shameful misrepresentation of the appointment of the CAS panel, everything he says has to be taken with a very large pinch of salt. He makes it his business to relentlessly troll City fans yet claim victimhood. The sad thing is that some fall for this.

He must have a sponsor for his endeavours. No way is he in this for self gratification, alone.
