UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[Exeter Blue I am here]

The social media stats are in no way ‘speculatively sourced’.

As for elite level club, liverpool are nowhere near the global support of Madrid, Barcelona or united, neither are City but I am not claiming that.

In a different post you mention China, again liverpool are way behind City.

Not having a go at you fella, but you are incorrect in the myth that liverpool are some behemoth regarding global support.

And to avoid further confusion, try Specsavers when backing your own eyes ;)

Just how reliable are those stats though? This study doesn’t cover all PL teams and therefore doesn’t compare City’s stats to anyone else’s, but as an indicator of just how unreliable they may be in isolation, they could be seen as pretty revealing.

And when it comes to “backing my own eyes” I can only state that my opinion has its roots in having spoken to many people from all over the globe (or stereotyping as some would insist). I accept the relatively small sample argument, but I still don’t think I’m off beam as regards the respective support City and Liverpool have currently.

Yep, people attaching far too much significance to the fact that it requires a subscription, that means nothing

Bunch of gobshite journos writing made up stories and pretending to have sources just like any other paper. The fact that Andy fucking Mitten is one of the journos should instantly blast a nuclear bomb sized hole through any notion of it having any credibility. I had no idea this prize cvnt had resurfaced. Astonishing.

Mitten is occasionally OK but the two who hack me off are James Pearce and Simon Hughes, who report on Liverpool. There's never anything remotely critical or insightful from them. They just blow smoke up the dippers' arse.

James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo as well. An absolute tool

Out with the old and in with the new.

A nice dream

If we get banned from the CL for 1 year then big deal, in my opinion they will miss us more than we as fans will miss them. Our owners and the players won't look at it that way though.

I hope it happens. Just imagine us only playing once a week up until Christmas and the rest of the top 4 playing in the chimps league.
Yes please.

Judging by the preponderance of scousers in "journalism", punditry and general media I can only assume that you are correct.

There's a shocker of an article by Matt Slater, who broke the speculation about UEFA not banning us, in The Athletic. City's lawyers should be all over it as he's basically saying it's been proven that Sheikh Mansour directly funded us, in contravention of the FFP rules.

Unfortunately for him, I've a few followers on Twitter among the City executive team so I've brought it to their attention.

Any chance of a précis PB. Paywall in operation

Who are these resignations? Is this genuine? Potentially significant? I might listen if no one else has

Well I expect one of them to be Rick Parry (well-known friend of City) as he has a new job as chairman of the EFL.

Doesn't everybody do that ?

The study that I posted with a link covered all PL teams, those eyes again :)

You are way off beam, and as for people you have spoken to being your sampling, well you believe that rather than every available cast iron figures that have been presented for fan base and financially of City being level with liverpool.

And at this point I will let this thread go back to its rightful place, have a good day blue :)
