[Delboy352]

Come on Khaldoon, you know it makes sense…bid for it and just let us all sit back and watch that piss boil!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgryg9598q1o

Because they thought/hoped we might take it?

I thought the idea of an offer was debunked earlier? Have I missed a turn?

But if they wanted us to accept an offer, and cause us ‘guilt by association’ , then they would surely offered us something too good to turn down???! By the way I’m Not disagreeing with anything you say Chris, cos I don’t believe they offered us a deal anyway, my point being why not offer us something we couldn’t turn down if they wanted us to accept??

I’m pretty sceptical that a six-point deduction will have been offered.

No idea where it was originally posted that a 6 point deduction was offered but it’s obviously complete bollocks.

Why would the PL offer a 6 point settlement to City at pretty much the same time they were recommending the IC punish more than that for Forest and Everton for minor PSR transgressions.

The league also had Everton and Forest dead to rights, smoking gun and all.

In our case they have probably spent loads and loads of money on a legal team and defense, and if they offered it, it may be along the lines of they would rather get something as opposed to nothing. They could spin it as a victory without spending tons of money and time on a legal team that doesn’t even guarantee a win. It will have been a two year process to just get the tribunal started and finished plus an additional 4 years of investigating. It will have been 6 years and if they lose they will have spent a ton of money with nothing to show for it.

Since a few people seem to have missed a chunk of the thread - fair enough due to the pace it moves - here's the link to where the "6 point deduction offer" information first came from.

Go on - what have you heard? ;)

Nothing at all! Seems plausible that a settlement offer could’ve been made, but six points just seems unlikely to me.

Think Prestwich Blue had said a very reliable source had told him the PL had made a settlement offer which City turned down flat

And he added that another source, who he couldn’t vouch for as strongly had told him about the 6 point offer

Ok, thanks mate. Just thought you might’ve had some info from inside the club refuting the 6 point story!
With what you’ve said in mind, I’m doubtful myself but I suppose it becomes quite plausible IF the PL have been warned by their own legal team that City are likely to wipe the floor with them.

Just heard two dads at my son’s football laughing about Rodri’s injury and their heart bleeds 115 times for them. Holding my tongue is getting difficult.

Well I’m hoping your son is the best player in the team
If so take him to another club
It’s child cruelty making him play with RB

I’m hugely sceptical it was offered.

But IF it was, it is not only interesting but rather entertaining to speculate on what that inferences you can draw from it

Maybe they thought they did?

When we win this I hope City do the countdown clock on the scoreboard like they did at QPR 115 to zero now that would be piss funny as we pick up 5 in a row

That countdown set a lass off crying in the row in front of me, which almost set me off. It was a perfect fuck you to those bastards for that belittling sign, especially the way the day transpired

Whoever thought of it should be given the freedom of Manchester

 

[HorlockofFiretopMountain]

Why would Etihad need Sheikh Mansour to pay the majority of their sponsorship contract when they were turning over billions of USD per annum? Looks like they can afford to pay it themselves which was confirmed at CAS.

If I recall correctly they had a bit of a sticky patch with significant losses, starting around 2016 and running for a few years. Nearly 2B USD loss in 2016 on an 8B USD turnover. This of course wouldn't have relevance to anything predating 2016, when they were running a profit.

We’d have snapped their hand off.

I know you're not there to defend City. I know you're there to promote yourself. Absolutely no problem with that. In fact it makes your opinions even more valuable to people like me because it means your one of the few people worth listening to.

I'll stress, once again, my gratitude to people like you for sharing your expertise with us, but the fact remains the TS studio is not an environment you're able to thrive in. You are too measured, too polite, too slow to compete with those bastards.

Your strength is the written word and an environment where you have time to make your points to people who will give you a fair hearing.

My only concern is Manchester City, not your hurt feelings about being taken to the cleaners on national radio, yet again.

Fully braced for another thread ban for having the temerity to say anything negative about you, but I stand by the points I've made.

How was he taken to the cleaners on national radio?
Because Simon Jordan spouts total shite about our club not knowing wtaf he's talking about!
Stefen is the only one in our corner & also not being biased because he's a blue himself & spitting out facts as he knows them, Simon Jordan just talks over anyone along with jim white, end of the day without stefen who else we got?
Absolutely NO ONE!
Like he said, he ain't working on behalf of City!
But he knows his stuff alot more than most & I & most other blues 100% appreciate what he does & provides to this platform!!!

We’d have snapped their hand off.

Not if we haven't done anything wrong.

 

[paulchapo]

Not, if as our chairman says, we're totally innocent. We fought UEFA and won, though that wasn't enough for the media and trolls who still label us as cheats. 99% of these cretins are convinced of our guilt in this case. Accepting a settlement would still leave a cloud over us. It's now Armageddon time for us and a chance to once more clear our name.
