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

bobbyowenquiff said:
I thought the PL had won the case and just a few minor tweaks were needed to make the database more transparent. Does this mean the press release Masters signed off was pure fiction as City's legal team have suggested? Do you think the BBC should now ask their fact-checkers to examine the totally false story they ran about the result of the APT hearing?

digging a big big hole for themselves, there like a rabbit in the headlights no idea where there going next, there going to wish they had never met Pannick by the time he's done with them

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 :-)

Don't want to take the thread too off topic, so apologies. But Paul Lake was a guest at our supporter's club meeting last month (Hazel Grove) and he was brilliant. Very insightful in terms of his playing career, his path since he stopped playing, and a very engaging talk about the mental health of both former and current players. It's the first time I've had the pleasure to be in his company and he seemed a really sound bloke, passionate about the club despite the way he was treated, and someone who is very proud of what they do.

Yes, I was in the Kippax too mate, towards that (Platt Lane) end as well, and went mental too, but I have subsequently concluded that it was a sending off. Nixon extended his arm; he says in self defence, but he could have just stepped out of the way. Ref had no choice, assuming he saw that.

I agree that they were both at it, but that doesn’t alter the fact that it was a sending off.

Steve Redmond went in nets and was fuckimg awful. No Bobby Mac or Niall Quinn that’s for sure!

Always worried me when Eric went up for a cross, jumped as though he thought his shorts might fall down - a strange sight

Can’t be right, the PL won the majority of challenges and we had a database concession that cost tens of millions to achieve.

Well respected journalists with loads of top connections, social media commentators and the Sky Chuckle Brothers told us so (to be fair, one of them made a clicking squealing noise like a dolphin, but that’s what he meant)…

Lakey is my hero. Always will be.

He’s only doing what his paymasters tell him too, honestly can’t blame the guy, especially if it’s true he’s on £1.8mil per annum! Grab it while you can.

There does seem to be a problem of governance at the PL. Presumably Masters has to ultimatey report to his management Board. But he seems to communicate directly with individual Club Directors a lot. The Newcastle email was a case in point. Who are his paymasters?

Emergency meeting with every club CEO and now going back on their original comments and aligning with the patient approach that City suggested… because they won. Obviously.

Do you think the idiots at the BBC will now report the facts correctly after running a totally false story spoonfed to them by the PL comms?
