I don't expect much from Jamie fucking Jackson but I do from Samuel.

There is simply no way we can get relegated and here's why. Even if we were found to have breached every single one of the charges, and were faced with a points deduction (and I don't think for one moment that will happen), the tribunal can only deduct points it thinks we gained a sporting advantage from, by spending more than we were entitled to spend under the PSR rules.

The charges go back to the early years of the takeover but where were we before Sheikh Mansour bought us? Well we finished 9th in 2007/8 under Sven and were in the Rich List top 20. Thaksin had committed us to spending we couldn't afford and we didn't have a pot to piss in. Yet we were still mid-table in the PL and that, in my view, is the pest position we can be put back to. And that's if every charge is proven, which is inconceivable. So why would there be a relegation clause?

Don't think relegation is a possibility.
But, it's typical of the RedArse media of what they want and hoping to influence the decision.
Take City out of the equation and it's a Red Shirt utopia for the USA owned clubs...
 
There was something I skimmed today about the villa chairman siding with us on the next APT vote tomorrow. Can't recall where but it had the generic both sides had claimed victory but PL would undoubtedly be happier....... nothing about having illegal rules which their own lawyers had pointed out as being illegal! Which were then subsequently found to be illegal by an independent panel of judges!!!!

Orwellian Doublespeak at its best.

They can have 19 clubs vote for it, it won’t make a difference if it’s deemed to be illegal.
 
Simon stone of the BBC telling everyone that opinion is fact:

"that great Barcelona side including Lionel Messi that won two Champions Leagues in three seasons and has gone down as one of the greatest of all time.

His achievements at City will not eclipse those..."

It will for city fans you red **** fucking bellend.
 
I’ve seen some bitter headlines from BBC United - Mediacity(haven’t we all), but this headline has to be the most bitter?

Funnily enough, there’s no name attached to the article, not even Sly Stone’s name.

A lot of the media have gone with that headline.

Sky sports news app have gone full red cartel wanker, two leading stories have Pep saying he considered leaving.

Out of all the soundbites or snippets they could have used they've gone full raincloud and as negative as they could.

They absolute fuckin city hating pricks they are.

I actually don’t have a problem with that headline, because objectively speaking, given what’s been said by Pep, that’s the subplot to the main event, and so warrants such headlines.

What I have a much bigger issue with is that **** Stone crowbarring a gratuitous unfavourable comparison with Pep’s time at Barcelona, which simply added nothing to the story. The words were carefully considered by Stone at this particular time for reasons that have no journalistic merit, add nothing to the story, and are very arguably wrong.

He’s consciously added that opinion presented as fact for the sole purpose of undermining Pep’s achievements at City in a way that would be inconceivable if a United manger had won four PL titles on the spin.

The **** is a fucking snake.

Let’s be honest, Pep didn’t sign a new contract because ‘maybe’ he and his teams lost 4 games in a row, which the BBC Football headline is implying. That couldn’t be further from the truth. We’re talking about BBC Football(arf!), not Football365, etc.
