Simon Mullock will be Salman Rushdies flat mate by weekend when those twats go for him.
 
Manchester City's bid to overturn their European ban could end with Liverpool in the dock over allegations that they hacked into the Etihad’s scouting database. City will “leave nothing off the table” when they attempt to beat the sanction. [@MullockSMirror]

David Pannick QC will spearhead a City legal team that includes legal powerhouses Freshfields, Bruckhaus Deringer, Pinsent Masons and Monkton Chambers. City have retained the services of Geneva-based Kellerhals Carrard if they go to the Swiss Federal Court. [@MullockSMirror]
 
I see I’ve come in for some fair abuse on here for an apparently stupid comment.


However, let me just explain why I’m concerned. Reading the 2000 plus pages on here has given me the assurance that City are on safe grounds and will win the case. Ranging from, UEFA didn’t even look at our defence to proof that the Etihad sponsorship was clearly paid by the Executive Council from Abu Dhabi and not from our owners.


The lawyer we hired is famous for a technicality in fighting Brexit. So while I’m as concerned as everyone else here on the outcome, I’m merely questioning the need for this kind of approach for our case. Obviously I don’t want the shittiest lawyers but just asking why we really have to get the best at 20k if we’re sure of our case?
What about the other 8 lawyers from the 4 legal firms? There won't be just one. Sure, he'll lead but others will deliver on their specilist areas.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave" and all that.
 


pukes....but he is a city "fan"


I see the headline has been changed already: "FFP turned round Premier League clubs’ losses and helped restore Liverpool"

Writer's wouldn't normally choose a headline, so wonder if even he was embarrassed enough by this one to ask for a change?
