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

David Miller, writing in the same paper, went even further: “The, at times insane, level of physical commitment in challenging for the ball made it inevitable that players would be hurt.”

However, it was Sheffield Wednesday’s Mark Bright who was clearly the worst offender. Bright’s blatant and forceful elbow broke Andy Linighan’s nose in the first half. The referee saw the incident, but decided that a yellow card was the appropriate punishment - perhaps taking into account the general level of low level violence on the pitch - and a desire to keep it 11 v 11.

He was also very blatant and forceful at helping himself to more wine at the wedding.

“Masters who, according to the league's most recent set of accounts for the year ended July 31, 2022, earns £1.8million a year.”

WTF

Have met all of them too (all twice except Redmond) and the only one I felt was a bit cold was Lake. Maybe he was having a shit day on both occupations (which happens) or I said or did something to piss him off. It’s been known to happen!

He’s always come across articulate and sound when I’ve seen him interviewed so I expect it was just my perception.

Never meet your heroes, they say!

And get well soon :-)

Personally, I’ve met Lakey and most of the guys plenty of times when I was in the Citizens Suite for a few years, I always just got the impression he was relatively shy and not an overly confident persona.

Has a signed petition ever achieved any change?

i think it should have been a double petition, the removel of Masters and the immediate install of a football regulator, 100k signatures and its off the be heard in the house of commons from the minister of sport Lisa Nandy

 

[Rammy Blue]

They cut out the middle man!

Their loss mate. x

A bit like me then?

Super league.
It's going to happen whether we like it or not.

Look at the new champions league format. It's the super league bar the name.

What are Celtic doing in a super league?

Me too, think we are a minority on here lol.

Part of the silent, non virtue signalling, majority

This is an important paragraph in the context of all the media talking heads and KFA fans, which Mr Lee does well to include, as it clearly includes himself as well:

‘That is one of the problems when it comes to finding answers here: a 175-page document is available to the public, but your average person (or journalist) will not have the appetite or stamina, let alone understanding, to digest it all properly.’

It’s the same as happened with the CAS verdict.

People don‘t read it.

They spot a few words randomly and go with that.
At CAS it was all ‘time barred’ (but completely missing the context that those 2 words were used (ie despite being time barred , they would have adjudicated for City if they could anyway, on that singular item), and people still run with that as the be-all and end-all of the CAS verdict…

I would’ve thought it was a journalist’s duty to digest it. Just shows them up for the half-arsed, lazy, clickbait controversy shills they are. Not one grain of integrity.

To use an often worn out old cliche used over and over again….. The Moral Victors.

The Material Victors.

Why didn’t we use shareholder loans to get money into City?

Probably something obvious that I’ve missed.

Voting Remain and anything other than Reform is virtue signalling?

It seems that now City won the case we are troublemakers.
I’m sure City are devastated.

I said hello to him recently but he was distant. I just think he probably wants to keep himself to himself.

I was talking to him after the Watford game and he was friendly, open and chatty. I thought he was an ok guy. Also, a great player cruelly struck down by injury and treated abysmally by City at the time.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Yes, who could have imagined back then what a tortured childhood he had :-(

Makes his, Paul Stewart and others careers all the more creditable. How many more didn't make it because of it.

Because we got better than that, Mansour invested equity.

“Masters who, according to the league's most recent set of accounts for the year ended July 31, 2022, earns £1.8million a year.”

WTF

Plus a nosh off the not so attractive woman in the hospitality bar at old trafford every other home game.

“The naming rights deal between Atletico and Riyadh Air expands upon their existing sponsorship agreement. The airline became the Spanish club's main sponsor last August, the deal is reportedly worth €40 million (US$43.9 million) per season and the contract will run through the 2026/27 season, according to 2Playbook.”

PL turning away sponsorship deals readily snapped up by La Liga.

They need to revisit their secret spreadsheet and include the rest of Europe.

Can we have a list of any other leagues in The World that does this? Actually I’ll list them below they are…
















Absolutely nobody ever

 

[MadchesterCity]

Everyone else turned it down

Maybe Tkiki will take it

I am really torn. As you say City have been abused by UEFA and the Premier league for years and we are entitled for this witch hunt to end, probably with substantial damages.

I think with our new aggressive approach, I would hope, and expect, we are doing this to make clear our boundaries. Continuous adversarial relationships will not serve us well.
