there is no desire for short-term gain.
that approach is, they say, the fool's way.

let the losers shout their claims from the highest mountain.
at first it will resonate,
but there is no point in responding to an echo,
it will fade away soon enough.

the real winners play the long game.
they knowingly smile at (and with) their enemies.
a strategy that unnerves the enemy.

i think it was sven who said something along the lines of,

out-nice the fuckers!

it is impossible to, as you say, sufficiently control the narrative.

never argue with a fool.
he will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

What would Mr T (B A Baracas) say?

“ I pity the fool”

Be interesting to see if the PL have to get a “charging decision” from another body (a la the CPS in criminal cases) or do they just make that call themselves?

They have an internal three-person panel that evaluates evidence and makes a decision on whether to move forward with charges.

I believe current members are Mr T Lewis, Mr D Levy and Mr J Henry.

Legal circles? Doesn't magictwat claim to be a lawyer?

I had to read it just to see how they come up with a £1billion spend, throwing the investment into the Co-op Live into it, (which was CFG, no?) is pitiable.

He also claims to be American, but then posts his betslips which show him using an English bookmaker and betting in pounds

First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you,
 
on the telly, when you see these fkn know-nowt no-marks taking the fifth (sic) "No comment" I want to punch the fkn screen in, because of the show they are on we all know that they deffo did: supply the Class A, run over the gang rival, slashthe pensioner's throat - it's just a matter of time before the thickest of plod, even handicapped by a crippling jump-through-hoops protocol, get to the end


.... and yet, the "No comment" from City is the exception that proves the rule

say nowt, then fuck 'em over

I still think it most likely (almost inevitable) that the most serious charges won't be proven (how could they be?) but the panel will agree that the PL were right to raise the allegations if they weren't satisfactorily answered during the investigation. Possibly even to the extent of criticising the club for withholding third party counter-evidence from the investigation that would have satisfactorily answered the allegations.

Then the only question is non-cooperation: whether the club were required by the rules to provide such information. I am not so sure the PL are on firm ground there, either.

There is a lot we don't know, of course, but I think it most likely this was always the situation. And it still is.

But was the investigation right to proceed with charges when they had never approached CAS or Mancini.

I bow to your superior knowledge. so explain why is 9 and half years, we’ve never done a contract that length before

Well it’s only half a year because it was negotiated mid year.

In terms of why it’s so long, it’s a risk but it’s due to the player involved and wanting to ensure he spends his prime years with us.

It’s just clearly not the kind of thing anyone would ever do as a pisstake.

The turd’s opinion on Sergio when he signed was a thing of beauty! What an absolute fool.

Always remember little Ollie Holt when he said Aguero might be the noisiest transfer but Charlie Adams to the Dips was likely to be the best transfer that season…

I actually just burst out laughing at that, remembering just how stupid those journalists were. It was such a clear display of refusing to give any credit to us, while doling it out to the Sky 4 of the period. Same with Merson and DeBruyne, and Mike Parry (I think) and Yaya - utterly inept, or tugging their forelocks to their paymasters' agenda.
