You mean this? Not exactly the same is it?
If we are found innocent how long before we hear “City have got away with it”I think there are portions of the media that are starting to think. They are thinking that City might just be innocent i suspect. It’s only from one or two, and the likes of Jordan not being as one sided, but it seems to be changing. Hopefully they will start to sniff out a story about how the PL have tried to stop one of their clubs being better than their flagship clubs.. I dream though.
Then give an actual quote, unless of course you're just making shite up. I'm going for making shite up though, moron.No, it’s not the same because it’s not the same comment you utter bell.
Still, that’s an absolutely bizarre comment for him to make. I can’t imagine the writers for other clubs asking the fans this…
One for the block/ignore list.
In the build up to the CAS verdict you couldn't avoid English football writers and their expert legal advisors telling them that City were going to lose. The tone is very different this time round from what I can see. Most people are pretty circumspect about what actually will happen beyond the fact that for the Premier League to prove their case, it'll take some monumental evidence and incredible levels of incompetence from City's board of directors.

From the off it was designed and coordinated to tarnish all our achievements ....nothing elseThe thing is like other clubs we've just had to try and work within ever changing rules. A few have failed to do it properly and have been sanctioned. In my opinion there is no middle ground. The domestic and European cartel bum rushed these rules through to halt our progress and as any business would we've tried to.push them as far as we could to our advantage. People can call it cheating but deep down they know it really isn't. It makes them feel better though for the fact we've totally blitzed their clubs on the field.
He definitely got some ripe replies over that but instead of ignoring them he lashes out with abuse.No, it’s not the same because it’s not the same comment you utter bell.

I've never had a problem with him being a utd fan as long as he reports fairly on City & for me that changed after the Uefa ban & before the CAS verdict, I believe Stuart Brennan was also a utd fan & heI really can't give a shit about any of this because Sam Lee like every other journalist is just getting steers and nods from people around the club and PL, so we already know he knows nothing, just like everyone else.
Having said that I genuinely can't imagine being so childish you (1) Think having a conversation with 3 anti-City journalists about their point of view means you're an anti-city journalist and (2) Keep a screenshot of it for 5 years to whip out any time he reports something you don't like.
So like every single City fan? There's a reason we get 3,000 page threads every time Pep's contract runs down.
I wish people would just admit they hate him because they found out he grew up a United fan. The mood towards him changed overnight on here when he said that on Ahsan's podcast. Meanwhile everyone outside the City fanbase thinks he's a City mouthpiece that can't be relied on to do anything other than spout the club's line.
If you don't like him don't read his stuff, but don't pretend he's part of some anti-city cabal.
Nah, it’s just for clicks. If you were a moron fan of another club, which headline would you go for?I know it’s always been the case that the decision would be reached and then the punishment would be for a separate hearing of whatever but the fact the press seemed to ignore this and now seem to be brief about it presumably from the premier league can we read anything into it.
Two thoughts it’s to make everyone less disappointed when we win. O well if city had been found guilty nothing would have happened for another season anyway
Alternate view why brief about punishments if no punishment is coming.
Final thought we cleared on everything bar no cooperation and they are bring up this to again manage expectations of what they can punish us for how strongly
Part of those 115/130 alleged breaches are for none cooperation so if the panel similar to CAS agree we haven't cooperated then it will go to the sanction panelI consider myself to have been educated. Again. I was thinking "complaint" related to the whole complaint of 115/130 alleged breaches, not any particular breach within the complaint. Bloody lawyers :)
So is it likely an appeals panel will reconsider liability and then pass the findings back to the original panel for sanction? Or will the appeals panel consider sanctions themselves? Seems strange (and a little disrespectful) to pass the whole thing round from one to the other like a hot potato .....
Well united haven't a pot to piss in, and Liverpool lost money in their last set off accounts, so they're doing a good job of it themselves without any help off City.I think there are portions of the media that are starting to think. They are thinking that City might just be innocent i suspect. Its only from one or two, and the likes of Jordan not being as one sided, but it seems to be changing.

Isn't the point with Fordam that we didn't deliberately hide it so unless the main charge of so called fraud is proved it will fall under statute of limitationsI try to keep my schizophrenia in check here :)
My other self says UEFA didn't come to any conclusion on Fordham. It was just part of the 2014 settlement, I think. And it operated until 2017? You only have to look at the Fordham accounts when it stopped "trading" to see losses of 50-60 million.
So you got an ologySounds like a Maureen Lipman line from her old BT ads when she is talking on the phone to her nephew or son who is at University.

I'd had some decent conversations with him prior to that and tried to persuade him to step away from his keyboard but he then had a go at me.
I completely lost any respect for him after that.
It keeps the narrative running In the heads of those who are desperate for us to be guiltyI know it’s always been the case that the decision would be reached and then the punishment would be for a separate hearing of whatever but the fact the press seemed to ignore this and now seem to be brief about it presumably from the premier league can we read anything into it.
