This is a very well observed post. Widely reporting on a subject carries responsibilities to those who you seek to inform. It’s a genuinely scared duty that too many ignore or conveniently forget.

Yep send it to Syed
This is a reality he is clearly detached from

Who is this David Pannick QC that is supposedly leading our legal battle against UEFA?At £20,000 a day I assume he might be ok.

he is whoever he needs to be to reinforce the narrative. big bad city with their expensive players, and now expensive lawyer, giving poor little UEFA no chance. etc etc

As a side note I think our lawyers would finish higher than the rags this season. Probably have better heat maps than most their team too.

it’s so clear, I wonder what g14 could rustle up together or maybe the Qatari stumps up the lot.

a good question to ask who’s paying the bills when we have our day (months) in court. One thing for sure will be the negative drip drip lies that will be reported after each day, I mean currently there is only 1 legal team that’s expensive & another using legal aid.

Not just ok, one of the very best advocates in the country. A star barrister. It was Pannick who tied the gov up in those case on brexit. Google him.

His Wikipedia entry on notable cases makes interesting reading:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Pannick,_Baron_Pannick
there are many worthy cases he’s done, spycatcher, springer the opera at bbc, MPs immunity from expenses fiddling, illegality of bozza advice to Queen on Brexit.
But there’s a few listed which raise an eyebrow- Philip green and briefing Saudi on state immunity to torture.

Im sure the media will seize the opportunity to use his Brexit cases as being beholden to an overreaching pan- European entity, with added bonus of ties to ‘dubious’ Middle Eastern country... ah no wait , sorry, he’s on City’s side, not UEFA... I’m sure the irony will be missed by any media mudslinging against him.

Twice now you've mentioned his mental health in this way. Even for someone like Harris, you're bang out of order to be doing that

For the sake of balance, the likes of Harris and Delaney routinely refer to people on this forum as “unhinged”, “deranged”, “crazies” etc. Harris, tragically, calls it “Blue Loon”.

In this one case they might have a point?

Get your arse over here.

That sounds very much like grooming to me
