Having read again the CAS judgement I can see why the EPL felt justified in pursuing the matter. The full email chain was not requested or produced by or to the UEFA appeals panel due to time restrictions namely they required a verdict before the next season started whereas the EPL are not under...

https://www.lawgazette.co.uk Extract from an article in the Law Society Gazette which I hope (I’m an FOC) should be accessible via the link above for anyone interested. “The sports silk who led Leicester City’s successful challenge against football’s Premier League over the club’s finances has...

This is a quote from the “legal expert” referred to in the Ziegler article in today’s Times. “Manchester City will have hope that the Leicester case shows an independent panel looking at the Premier League rules in forensic detail rather than doing what is expedient.” Not sure where to start...

Apologies if already posted but below is an extract from Barney Rubble’s latest piece in the Guardian. It’s a hell of a leap from City legitimately challenging a potentially unlawful rule amendment in February to being responsible for Neymar’s 220 million transfer fee. The nonsense in the media...

Two very mild comments ( including “City bingo”) by me challenging Syed and Slot have been removed as they “ violate their policy” These media shills can dish it out but can’t take it.

Absolutely nailed it. City have applied to have the February amendment to the related party rules declared unlawful. In just over a fortnight or so a legal determination will be made. Was interesting how Danny Murphy was prepared to listen and learn on the TS/Stefan broadcast and as Murphy said...

Gradually getting over it aided by a few whiskies. Even more cheered up after lolling at That is God's way of reminding you you're a City fan

Nailed it IB since 92. Do the business on the pitch - that's what counts. To claim City are not a "big club" is downright bollocks anyway and flies in the face of "historical" facts. Its all in the jealous minds of so called bigger clubs and the lickspittle media.

I am still seething at Syed’s article in yesterday’s Times so I’ve emailed them as below. Might be a waste of time but I’m sick to death of the constant negativity. I would hate it if City had the sycophantic coverage that the red shirts get but neither should the publication of sneeringly...

Of course not. That’s not what I was saying at all

Just to smear City is a possibility I suppose but if correct it stinks to high heaven and suggests a total lack of thinking things through by the EPL. If they do have evidence no one yet knows about (which i think highly unlikely) then City must be grandstanding in their protestations of...

At the risk of outing myself as thick as fuck, I struggle with the notion that preposterous charges have been brought by the EPL who must have sought the advice of competent lawyers before they did so. Genuine question to you - do you believe the EPL lawyers are thick as fuck also, or is it the...

”Nobody cares about City” - well I do along with all other blues. However I don’t care whether anybody else cares. Oldham Athletic fans care about Oldham Athletic but nobody else does. l*****ool, un***d, Chelsea, Palace fans care about their own teams, but nobody else does (except in the case of...

Spot on. Stefan answered the “would City settle” as a lawyer would. There’s always a risk in litigation so a lawyer would advise a client to at least consider a settlement. If the client is determined to carry on and take the risk inherent in any hearing then so be it. Jordan’s ”why would they...

The sheer nerve - saying regeneration would be a great project (ie taxpayers cash) to regenerate the area. Copying City but not prepared to spend his/uniteds money

Slsbn tweeted saying how we might be dealt with for noncooperation with an extract from the EPL judgement on ”the club” saying far ftom cooperating they were obstructive - in a nutshell. Many, me included, assumed the club was city but…. Slsbn later revealed the club was Everton, and that on...

The club in the slsbn tweet* was Everton not City (as I thought at first) That and impartiality concerns was the case City lost. *looks like the tweet has been removed

I assumed it was us at first doh. When you read the PL statement about Everton’s non cooperation, and compare the IC statement, you have to wonder what the hell is going on with the PL investigation board. The nagging worry I’ve had since the 115 was announced is the difficulty in imagining the...

Set play - what was wrong with free kick?
