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

[argyle]

You still not happy lol, the club are not breaking confidential things so you can get a statement every week

Everton and Forrest didn't break confidentiality by framing their statement did they?

Not been asking for a statement every week either, so I don't know where you've got that from.

 

[malg]

Had an arrogant Rag on about it today saying we'll ruin the PL. Just told him to fuck off.

 

[argyle]

I think @argyle should get a daily PM from Coolhand himself with updates, it's only fair.

Not been asking for a statement every week.

I think the club needs to defend itself in public more. That's all. Not an unreasonable thing for me to say.

Not doing so allows the void to be filled with people attacking the club daily, they overlook our successes, criticise us daily and then the club accommodates them as much as possible.

The laughable thing about all this market value sponsorship crap,is someone decides whether it’s fair value or not,yet a club can put whatever value they want on a players transfer fee.should the same panel not decide whether the transfer fee is acceptable market value,

Hope not, they might let on that Antony isn’t worth £86m

Whilst I don't think the club can make a statement when they've been talking about kangaroo courts and leaks since the UEFA charges, they must be galled that the narrative has now been set for this case by a leak and is being driven heavily by the media.

The latest EFL claim is absurd and only meant to ensure that there are more people and clubs against City despite them being one of very few for independent regulation.

Eileen Derbyshires son is one bitter rag . Can’t stand him and his employers .

 

[argyle]

Henry the **** Winter doesn’t like us very much does he

One of the journalists that City keep trying to be nice too.

Then he knifes the club the moment he can.

City were criticised by journalists abound when they said the APT rules would affect funding in other areas. Thr other PL clubs are making the same arguments, where is their critiscism. PL clubs are being greedy and pathetic, give the money to the EFL regardless of the outcome (something City actually voted for).

It is quite clear now that Lawton is being briefed and steered by the Premier League, aided and abetted by Rick Parry playing the poor mouth, whilst dreaming of his place at the top table once again

 

[argyle]

Got to assume that our Lawyers are confident that we will succeed with the legal action.

They'll think we'll have a possibility of success, that's all.

Competition and regulatory cases are apparently notoriously hard to win.

 

[PPT]

The Mail needs to be banned from the club regardless of the outcome. Always making shit up and non stop negative stories with us, amazed the club has not banned them years ago

Along with The Times. The Telegraph and the Guardian.

I noticed Jamie Carragher liked a tweet from an account that floated this idea. Rather unsurprisingly another conspiracy into the mix.

Carragher,and the like, seem to think the PL is poor and are using Lionel Hutz as their attorney.

They're using some of the top barristers in the country.

Had an arrogant Rag on about it today saying we'll ruin the PL. Just told him to fuck off.

Should have replied: yeah, I know. That’s why we are doing it.

 

[eyalluvitt]

After 5 mins defending City on twitter

 

[kaz7]

Everton and Forrest didn't break confidentiality by framing their statement did they?

They were differeant cases altogether , you none stop banging on about the club defending itself and putting out statements , fucking yawn, we have the best legal team and if they say keep quiet then we will , despite some random on the internet being needy

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Grow some fuckin balls all you lot who are getting sick of it! It’s us against the world and we need men to be men from now on. CITY! CITY! CITY!

 

[jrb]

So, we’re now making PL games more likely to be played in America, and we’re putting the EFL deal at risk. Anything else I’ve missed we’ee doing to the rest of English football?

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Yep, now I'm convinced City are going to beat this hahaha

Love the way they have used Rick Parry and Khaldoon on the same graphic. Very symbolic of this dirty war.

 

[jrb]

Has anyone got a link to Talkshite with Projectdriver today? Thanks.

 

[jrb]

Ah Parry, the Scouse Rat, who was on the UEFA panel that did City originally.

 

[argyle]

There are many in here bemoaning the lack of noise from our PR department.
Just remember-Silence is Golden.
The war will not be won in the Media,it will be won in the Tribunals,courts or wherever the judicial preside and make judgement.
I cannot see us going in without strong evidence. Lessons learned through history and UEFA.

Just my opinion and not shared by many on here it seems.

But the club can do more than one thing at a time.

They can win in tribunals and the courts and they can also play a much better game in the media.

If not an explanatory statement, then they have people like Micah Richards as a City Ambassador. Get him to tweet saying this legal case has nothing to do with the 115 charges, etc. What else are we having him as an ambassador for?

Just allowing silence allows all sorts of shit to be said about the club. Plus, any win in the courts will be ignored by the usual suspects anyway.

Imo, it's time for City to start being tougher with the media in this country because they've got away with crap for far too long.
