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

To make your post factually correct, Swales was happy enough to support the removal of the 25% of DECLARED gate receipts. The money from 10k fans not shown on the attendance record was never split with the away team :-)

C'mon man...Swalsey was hardly on his own in that little perk of club management...they were all at it...

As I said yesterday, three extremely credible journalists put their name out there backing a 'significant city win', yet stefan came out straight away playing it down.

So you're right, he may not know more than the rest of us, but why would he come out & say that?

He is a lawyer trying to develop a reputation as a credible sports finance analyst (God knows we need one). So he is cautious by nature (unlike journalists) and has to be neutral. Give the guy a break.

On the other hand I'm not and I don't. I am quietly optimistic we have fucked the PL up on this.

Did you hear me? I said QUIETLY OPTIMISTIC! :)

Apologies for being direct Johnny, but I don't think that makes any sense as a reply to my comment.

I've given a couple of examples of what I believe is racism against our owners, so of course I believe there is a racist element. I am not sure how much clearer I can be, that this doesn't automatically make every discussion about ours and Newcastle's owners racist.

No need to apologise, let me try to explain what I mean. When you say "If you try and suggest every mention of "Middle East" owners is racist, when there are differences that do only currently apply to them, then anyone who doesn't support City is likely to roll their eyes, and it weakens any genuine arguments about racism." Ask yourself "Why do they focus on Middle Eastern owners? The answer is simply to feed the redshirt herds a racist excuse for their own failure to compete and invest. Khaldoon's response to Tebas' attempts to single us out sums up the way I see it. “There’s something deeply wrong in bringing ethnicity into the conversation. This is just ugly. The way he is combining teams because of ethnicity, I find that very disturbing to be honest.”

City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak launches scathing attack on La Liga chief

Javier Tebas last week claimed that clubs such as City and Paris Saint-Germain, backed by wealthy Gulf state owners, are creating a competitive imbalance in European football which will change the face of the sport

For a change, the vast majority of comments under the article in the Daily Mail from fans of other clubs are seeing Masters and the PL as they are. And as we know they are.

And no surprise, there are hardly any comments from the Red Shirt cartel fans, who would have been all over the article if City had lost and the PL had won.

Yep. I spotted that too. It's a complete reversal of attitude in the comments forum

Perhaps they are waiting to be told by the media what their response should be?

There is no way Khaldoon will agree to a technical settlement based on unsustainable costs being incurred by the PL, it would do nothing to allay the malicious campaign orchestrated against the club by the red puppets in what passses as the media in the UK. He warned them in advance of the proceedings. In my opinion if we have irrefutable evidence of our innocence and he has Masters, the PL & therefore the American cartel by the throat he will not settle in fact he will double down so the Yanks have to bail the PL out which is more than fair given they started this.

I`ve always maintained that I fully believe/d in Khaldoons message that "we have taken a hit but never again".
I trust him that much.

So true. If I recall correctly, we were fifth in the table and playing well at the time Swales decided to axe him in favour of Malcolm. I'd argue that, like the Gillingham play-off match, it was a sliding doors moment, only in reverse, and one that might have seen us go on to greater success had that clown done the sensible thing and persevered with Book.

Tony Book should have told Swales to fuck off but his love of the club and his respect for Mal he didn't Mal was suppose to be assistant but his personality took over He wrecked the team that had finished second in the First Division which we never really recovered from
