I didnt hear the context of it but that take is ridiculous, what is the benefit of us to drag the case out, the reality is that evidence takes as long as it takes to be submitted and looked over and presented properly, should we negate legal precedent and due dilligence for the sake of quickness so the press and the pl are happy, lets not forget it took them FOUR years to investigate the case so the fact that we have spent half of that time again defending it would seem like a fair time line, a more accurate summation by him would be to say that you want to see the case given the levity it deserves and that will take as long as is necessary to reach a fair and accurate conclusion.
So while it may seem a little petty to you and i can see your point, it was remiss of him to come to such a conclusion and as i said there are many other clubs that city could send their loan prospects too who would welcome it without feeling the need to go on national radio and make silly statements.
