I get it Stefan is your hero he can do no wrong.

Do either of you think that when the discussion turned to City, Stefan did us any favours?

Stefan is not my hero - clearly a (now) fat Georgian is/was/is.

I don't expect favours, from the radio or the courts, I expect res ipsa loquitur, and acting like a fkn drama queen is not a good look (apologies to all drama queens on here (at least seven at last count)

We’ve lost court of opinion so that doesn’t really matter. The tw@ts have managed to stain the club, and no amount of bleaching and scrubbing will completely shift it. It unfortunately is what it is.

Let’s just win the case and carrying on winning the trophies. F#ck everything else

doesn't matter really, I live down south and all I see is City shirts on all the kids. They couldn't give a flying fuck about the charges, they just want to see Haaland score another hatrick
 
I listened and everything said was factually correct.
We should all know it, it’s been explained numerous times and most of us have had to defend our club at one point or another, albeit not on National radio.
The fraud element is very important and whilst it may be getting used to sensationalise the case, the reality is that there is no ongoing criminal investigation, of which there would undoubtedly be one should there be a whiff of evidence supporting the fact that professional companies have acted, on an industrial scale, for us to falsely navigate FFP.
Our counsel will, I am sure, have made submissions regarding such absurd claims and may just be one of the strands of the investigation that the Premier league counsel are now trying to navigate away from. No fraud equals a much reduced chance of any of the charges sticking.
Whilst SJ may like to shout his move off, in the moment, I would suggest that a controlled, knowledgeable response, from an informed position a far better approach to take.
Our owners and board are confident for a reason.
We were made a laughing stock by all and sundry when the 115 were announced.
I would pose to you that he who laughs last, laughs longest.

I am not an apologist for Stefan but if you were expecting an independent expert to defend our club on Talk Sport you picked the wrong site, you need to stick to Blue Moon. Regards the charges obviously we are being accused of fraud that is why it's so serious and why ultimately we will win because to prove that will be very difficult

Stefan has done his job in educating J to take the fraud allegations.. W takes the one J used to have for FFP and Stefan ejudicates.

Progress I would say.

FFS

Today was the perfect opportunity for Stefan to leave Pinky and Perky stunned and speechless and to convert hundreds of thousands of listeners who are fans of rival clubs into stalwart supporters of our club.

He fucked it up big style ...

@GSW Blue obviously didn’t see the sarcasm in your post.

I think you should give Stefan a break. There was nothing I heard on there for him to defend. Most of the arguments were about respective costs of legal fees. However, City were found guilty a long time ago in the Inquisition like court of Talksport and their "Red Top" jury. It is simply a waste of energy getting angry about.

Best keeping the powder dry and the names of the sneering wankers in the little black book for the day we are cleared of all charges.
 
If we except a settlement I personally think we are very foolish, and where has this rumour come from?

24 Hours ago the charges were going to be thrown out!!

I think Jordan had the upper hand in that debate today sadly. Whether what he was saying was right or wrong, he shouted out enough for the haters to have more ammo to throw at us.

Anyway, the main summary of today is that the cease and resist letters story seems to have been fake news

More ammo it's all the same ammo nothing has changed! We still waiting for the outcome and no knows how it will end? Apart from it's that serious an accusation that it's more than likely we don't get punished..

The courts of public opinion is utterly and totally irrelevant.

You know that's not true.

Everytime we have to explain about 'time barred' and 'armies of lawyers' and 'state owned' and '115 charges' etc. to a workmate or rival fan it becomes a little bit more difficult when we've just lost the latest round of the PR battle.
 
I don't have any problem with the way that Stefan represented himself - as many others have pointed out, he was there as a football finance professional, not as a defence counsel for the club. I do think though that he is basically setting himself up on a hiding to nothing by dealing with such an inferior quality, agenda driven media outlet.

Stefan booked in to discuss ffp on the day the forest appeal news broke.
Surely it's not right that talksport are being briefed on when the appeal outcome would be announced - and possibly what the outcome actually is.

I've had a quick listen back to the City section. Don't think I'd say anything different. Not really sure what Gorton's issue is - most likely stylistic (tough) or a lack of understanding (try to read more on the topic).
Here is the City section (along with grimace):
