BBC painting it as a win for the premier league pretty much! Shock!

I recently had a run in with the Beeb re a recent Dan Roan article where he quoted CAS as saying there was ‘insufficient evidence’ to convict City. After a few weeks of back and forth they apologised and admitted it was error - the CAS summary only used the words ‘no evidence’. The BBC are a disgrace these days.

Mate I have no sympathy for your club, none whatsoever. They, along with the other usual suspects, have tried to put our club out of business and smear every single achievement we have had since the takeover.

As a fan of that club however I do have some sympathy for you, even your more horrible gobby fans. As fans we are powerless what goes on behind the scenes. It's not the fans fault.

I'm not sure how much difference it makes in the long run but I will say it does make sense that clubs should pay interest on shareholder loans.
 
I've said for a long time, and I'm not alone in saying it, that a sizeable amount of sports journalists aren't true journalists, they're fanzine writers to garner as large of an overlapping audience of redshirt fans as possible. They will tell you that your eyes are lying if it will appeal to the redshirt clicks.

And that I also question why so many people pay attention to these fanzine writers who try and delve into legal issues (I know nothing about law but I will listen to people far smarter who do) and report on their opinion of law (spoken from a pre-agreed narrative) when they spend the rest of the time breaking down coverage of a football match.

There's a huge opportunity here for City to show the Premier League and our rivals up for what they are.

I would like to see a bold statement, to publicly acknowledge the findings and state that although we are entitled to damages, we will not be pursuing them. Advise that our only aim was to ensure a level playing field for all and suggest that we forego damages in the hope that these funds are reinvested into the grassroots level of the game.

Fuck that.

When you smack your opponent and they wobble you steam in a fuck them up as badly as you can.

Especially when they’re cheating cunts.

I might have missed it but where is the worry that we are all playing in seemingly a corrupt league? The decision makers making up illegal rules to stop competition and benefit others? Any thoughts on them kind of things?

Just been trying to work out how the PL and BBC can claim that it mostly went in the PL’s favour. These are the previous two pages in the document that list where our challenges failed. The PL are using it as a fig leaf to cover their embarrassment at finding that their rules are unlawful.

City “failed” in our challenge to the PL’s APT rules and enforcement actions the same way we “failed” in our UEFA FFP case: only idiots that can’t/won’t read and people that ignore reality for their own aims believe that nonsense.

It's all about clicks facts don't matter, they can be dressed up the more clicks the more their position is secure

I've just read the BBC report on this and the Club statement. The two are a million miles apart in the interpretation of what happened. I'm off to look at another news outlet, but from what the Club have said the BBC are their usual mealy-mouthed RDAHMeedya selves.

No doubt our statement was written by a legal expert
No count the BBC copied the PL statement probably by some rag clown in the newsroom with their figures in their ears screaming
