City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

The more I think about it and what @The Stockport Iniesta said the more I think it's the rags supporting us in this case. If we were to win this case and prove that the Associated Party Transaction rules are complete wank, the multi-club ownership model would flourish and we'd be able to move players between the CFG for whatever fees we want.

Sir Jim has already stolen a number of our executives and has shown a desire to get into the multi-club ownership business. Would definitely make sense that him and the rags side with us to get rid of APT rules.

Precisely - Winter is an absolute hypercritical paper boy.

Quoting the founding football league “no club should sue each other” whilst conveniently forgetting it was the PL who have charged City in the first place.

Such hyperbole from Winter without actually informing the audience on what City are suing for & the reasons why all sponsorships should be viewed through the same lens & not picked at ‘random’ by the PL.

Didn’t even bother mentioning how the Times reporter was able to get hold of the 165 page document whilst no one else was able to & referred to it as ‘a scoop’.

No balance whatsoever & can’t believe we allowed him to comment on the Treble Netflix documentary…bizarre move by the club as he’s the last reporter I would want on site.

So many of these hacks have just become part of the football establishment. Just leeches filling their faces on the football gravy train. They are supposed to challenge the establishment not become it. Apart from Martin Samuel not one of these parasites has even stopped to consider that City might be innocent.
Even after the CAS Judges exposed the UEFA case as a sham with no evidence they have not thought to challenge why the PL "investigation" has taken four years. They have never questioned why Directors of LFC, MUFC, and Spurs, have been spreading poison in their ears about City for more than ten years. Does Winter just assume that all City's senior Directors are crooks and all our main sponsors and Auditors over the past decade are complicit in a fraud involving scores of people?

Just read this explanation of tyranny of the majority on twitter.

Tyranny of the majority describes a scenario where the majority enforces its will on the minority, often to the detriment of minority rights and interests. While democracy aims to balance the will of the majority with the protection of individual and minority rights, tyranny of the majority refers to the failure of this balance, leading to majoritarian overreach and potential injustice

Yeah I doubt we’ll win anything on that point!

Worked 33 years in education. Got right to 'the top'. Bagged early retirement at the first opportunity. Honestly, with respect, you have no idea how diabolical it is. Not having a go, just agreeing with you, on turbo wheels. The illiteracy among teachers, actual teachers, is mind blowing. But, that's a mere snippet of the monstrous amazon of utter shit shite that it is. I have a million stories, and occasionally, over a pint in the pub, I try to tell them to mates. People think I'm making it up.

I dont doubt he considers himself a City fan, and his podcast rants were novel and entertaining a few years ago when he was building his online presence and flogging his books on the back of City's success, but it is telling that today, the day the club finally, for the first time in 16 years, has a nibble back at our persecuters, this professional City fan rushes to twitter in record time to complain at the club's resorting to the law to defend itself.
I wonder how many new followers from the fanbases of our rivals and persecuters he will pick up over the next few days. Hopefully it will be enough to help him flog a few books and help him to sleep at night.
Days like today tell you a lot about people.
