Do honestly think it's over?Ha, it’s over. The sooner we accept that the better. They’re evidently cheating bastards, but City played this pretty badly and ended up tying our own hands.
So it is over? No goings on behind the scenes or anything?Ha, it’s over. The sooner we accept that the better. They’re evidently cheating bastards, but City played this pretty badly and ended up tying our own hands.
Unless something significant changes then the media won’t report on it any more, and slowly the story will die. Not really sure what people think will happen from here?!Do honestly think it's over?
Somebody leaked it to the times for a reason, that reason hasn't gone away, it ain't over
Keep the story alive, fsg, Boston red Sox and LiVARpool , a few words connect them and one is ........Unless something significant changes then the media won’t report on it any more, and slowly the story will die. Not really sure what people think will happen from here?!

Get them down to Lancaster gate then!
My understanding is we took their Money.
The money came with legal obligations.Liverpool legal side not accepting responsibility for what was clearly "Black and White"
Now none of the media will touch this story with a Barge Pole.
We are good at shooting ourselves in the Foot.
If the Shoe had been on the other Foot.Liverpool would have dragged us over Hot Coals,through every court in the land.They would never acted like amateurs accepting a measly £1,000 000 in compensation with conditions.It would have been full on MSM character assassination of MCFC.
I'd guess Liverpool insisted from the start that they knew nothing about it, that the employees acted on their own initiative and that was going to be their story come what may. City were then in the position of possibly having to prosecute a few ex-employees. We probably figured that there wasn't a good outcome for Manchester City whatever the verdict....Elephant crushes ant type headlines or Ex-City employees victorious. Unless City can prove this went high up the Liverpool chain of command, there's not much joy for us in a criminal case. Proving it would probably require one of the perpetrators to turn on his current employers. They've got a secure job with what they know, why throw it away or risk a midnight visit from a masked stranger (called Aldo).
