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

But but but the Gruaniad says he’s a whistleblowing hero....

Regardless of Pinto positioning himself as a whistleblower he will almost certainly go down for his extortion and theft crimes - so the Guardian’s position looks unsustainable.

Mission Impossible ... trying to beat City in the Courts.

Unfortunately the Dubai crown prince has just lost a case against his wife announced today, so we can't be too complacent

It wouldn't surprise me if all the stolen documents have been indexed and put in an online database ready for if/when he gets sent down. Something like the offshore leaks database, which includes the Panama Papers, done by ICIJ (International Consortium of Investigative Journalists).

“Could you sort these 80,000,000,000 emails into some sort of order please Dawn when you’ve got a minute” !

Wasn’t he being represented by our very own Lord Pannick too?

I am thinking more of Ziegler and the way the sports team have changed their angle on FFP. In the opinion columns Syed is still poison though he does seem to have also calmed down a bit. I think the paper is covering its own reputation. They don't want to look stupid if and when City are cleared.

Unlike Conn who gone full-on nut job and lost all sense of sense and reason; he’s clearly having his buttons pressed by someone.

Whilst it would to any self respecting person, it’s Gruaniad Sport, who are bent ****s

Ziegler was one of a few journalists who retweeted that Rob Harris tweet last night (along with Dan Roan and Tariq Panja). Wouldn’t say he was entirely on board.

Dan Roan, the arbiter of balance, nuanced and fair journalism

unless the subject of discussion isn’t white

While I hope the latest positive noises are correct and we have the ammunition to not only clear us but hand out a few bloody noises too, I would err on the side of caution. I remember exactly the sane assurances being made during our first ffp case and we failed.

Yeah our qc is obviously crap
