PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Brightwell Bros. said:
I quite enjoyed Simon Jordan waffling on about the seriousness of the charges and Stefan being far too polite to tell him that he was just repeating a point he'd make on a previous appearance in a way that made him sound like he was disagreeing with something Stefan had said. Very weird.

Today just showed how unintellectual he actually is.

That is an excellent point. Jordan shifting the narrative and framing future arguments in the event City are cleared - which given the aggressive way he went in on this means he thinks this is the likeliest outcome.

These TS chats by Stefan with White and Jordan have been informative and I think productive from a City perspective.

He was using this line of argument 2 mths ago.

It is, in effect, Jordan setting himself up for the later argument that City only won because they had the best lawyers.

I think you are giving him too much credit.

Jordan is not particularly well educated in these matters. He’s miles less familiar with the law and the case than Stefan.

What he’s doing when he brings back these talking points is not setting something up, it’s falling back on what he knows, and in this case, he’s falling back on the same stuff we heard about CAS and their lawyers etc.

I would put money on Jordan thinking the famous gif of Khaldoon walking in front of an army of suits is actually him and our lawyers (it’s actually a South Korean business delegation welcoming him to the country). He picks up his talking points form tabloids talksport and social media.

More likely a milk monitor. He`s acting like a kid who can`t get his own way.
Nice to see that he`s had a few "likes" but from the same 2 or 3 people. As for the "likes" from other fair minded Blue Mooners to other posters they must outweigh a ratio of 25/1 in favour of Stefan.
That speaks volumes.

To be fair, this is rumbling on so long that it’s no surprise that peoples’ moods and mental health both will have had highs and lows.

I think and hope that Stefan knows how the vast majority feel about how he’s approached and at times schooled Jordan. Jordan, though, is a seasoned snippy presenter that tries to bully every guest that goes on there and occasionally it might seem to some that he has, whereas others thought Stefan simply kept his counsel and even added a cheeky grimace.

It’s an old storyline from CAS/Lord Pannick etc. he’s falling back on it because he was out of original material and was grasping.

You see it all the time when opposition fans would accuse city of “money laundering” which was just an old Roman Abramovich/Chelsea talking point that they fell back on ignorant of how different the situations were.

It’s stuff like this that makes you realise none of these people are serious. They’re just putting City in the dock as “villain of the week” and using the same shit jokes and banter they used for the last club.

I credit Stefan with changing their narrative.

I have read the FAQ and every post on this thread and your Twitter offerings since you started going on Talksport.

I know you're not on there to defend City you're on there to self promote.

The reason I thought you might defend City is that I thought you were a City fan.

When it came to discuss City on that show today, Jordan understood what was required of him (to stick the boot in) and he had you on toast.

As I now know you're not on to defend City, I'll pass next time you announce on Twitter and Bluemoon that "I'm on Talksport" today.

Why don't you try and get invited on there and defend the club then?

I got the impression that was more about us delaying proceedings because of City’s army of lawyers - something beyond the reach of other PL clubs. This ‘delay’ was tantamount to guilt on our part otherwise we would be keen to have it resolved with our ‘insurmountable evidence’ etc.

Jordan today would not let it go and aggressively pursued the point that those with the deepest pockets always win. To me, that sounded like someone preparing the ground for the next stage of the fight. Equally, I may be reading too much into this.
 
GortonBlue62 said:
In a previous post I acknowledged the difficulties he faced and suggested he be a bit more assertive.

It's not rude of a guest to insist on finishing an answer before addressing Jordan's lattest interruption.

Disagree. Stefan remaining unflustered by Jordan’s ranting is the best bit of it.
Jordan’s trying to get a reaction and Stefan is the perfect city fan to be there.

It sounded like he's starting to accept reality. The reality that Stefan has provided to him on several occasions which is that it's highly unlikely we will be found guilty.

Because Stefan thinks about his response before he speaks? Nothing wrong with that. But it's difficult when in dialogue with a shouting, ignorant gobshite who interrupts every ten seconds.
And White chipping in with more bollocks to let us know he's still in the room.
Fuck 'em both, a pair of clickbaiting arseholes.

Agree. As Asimov put it, "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge..'

Definitely in this instance, Jordan demonstrated the 'ignorance' (both with his lack of content as well as his boorish behaviour), while Stefan demonstrated the 'knowledge' Old Isaac was on about..

Well, I never thought I’d see Issac Asimov quoted on a football forum, but here we are.
 
There’s no way on god’s green earth I’m sitting through an entire episode of a scammer’s podcast, so can someone share a clip of the relevant bit where he owns up to having fabricated the whole thing?
