PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I respect you mate but I cannot believe for a minute that a £200m contract would be framed in any way around a wink or a piss take like that.

I don't think you can suggest a contract of that duration is a conventional deal or doesn't have many PR elements. We know for sure it is a unique English contract.

Nor did it need to be announced in mid January or in the middle of the period between the end of the hearing and the judgment.

But it is perfectly possible I am reading things that are not there.

You won't like this but I speak to a lot of them. All of them are friendly to my face and very personable. Obviously, technical knowledge varies but not one is seething (though I don't speak to Harris or Delaney, for example.)

When you say you speak to them at what level?
Friendly? Work? Football banter?
You say they aren't seething.
They write absolute detrimental shite about us don't care one bit about the ripples it causes.

That tracks, fans are probably the people within the football ecosystem that that take things most personally of all. A large number of players within the ecosystem are just playing out the role their job requires of them.

Ha ha love this.
They'd be all over it if it was any of the red mardarse clubs.
We all know that.
Well done us for putting them on the spot.

Just right.

Haaland is a superstar forward.

When is the next TV deal because you can be sure having a player like Haaland will be used by that cockroach Master to negotiate.

Go for them city.

I don’t disagree with your view on the wider, long game the club are playing, but they failed to sufficiently control the narrative in the press after the CAS judgment and are at risk of repeating this again if the decision goes our way; and I don’t agree that the press cannot ignore what Khaldoon says afterwards unless it’s sufficiently incendiary. If he throws a big, fuck off Molotov cocktail into the middle then I agree that will take hold, but if he simply talks in riddles and euphemisms (as he has done previously) then I fear it will simply blend into the background.

At the end of the day, the club will do what’s best to meet its long term strategic goals, which will most likely not elide with the wishes of us supporters.

I think KAM’s response to this will leave no-one in ANY doubt about what has gone on and will leave little to the imagination. He said he will say his piece when “the time is right”. He’s waited 10 years for this moment and will well aware of post CAS events.
I’m hoping for an incendiary piece that I will want to watch again anbd again like the Aguero goal.
We were weak after CAS as we thought that was it. There won’t be a repeat.

Usually because they want to understand something, perhaps something I have written, perhaps a quote or two. None are "mates" - it is work related. And then sometimes meet them say on a Talksport show eg Henry Winter last week - really, really nice guy. Sorry, just being honest.

Have you ever stumbled across Winter's brother? Not literally, but online? Absolutely fascinating.

Timing yes, length no in my opinion. Would love you to be right of course.

For some reason the fact that City seem to have briefed this feels like a bit of a sneer to Masters.

Maybe it’s me this time reading too much into things.

When the time is right I sincerely hope it’s more than a bit of sneering that we engage in towards the ****.
