What? Told me the PL were still very confident they would be proven right when the panel returned their judgement, and dismissed City’s position a lacking credibility? It’s hardly a major scoop mate - and it’s hardly a front page exclusive. It’s mostly interesting because it likely indicates...

Superb!! Enough of all this fucking backslapping and these ugly, undignified ‘positive vibes’. Let’s get into the nuts of it - we’re fucked, and we might as well accept it now to salvage what little dignity we have left as a fanbase!

You can view it however you like mate - that’s not my concern. If you can’t see why I wouldn’t want to share any additional context or detail, because in my evaluation this would likely be personally and professionally compromising, just so I can get the OK from a poster that I have never even...

I get that mate, and understand your position. To be honest, I think most of the melodrama and accusations of being a wum are because I’m saying something those people don’t want to hear. But that’s also clouding their perception of what I actually said - which is that the people I spoke to...

Fair enough mate - I can see that, and agree it could be seen as semantically significant. Truth is - that’s a subjective judgement. They’re definitely more than senior enough (in my view) to know the result if the PL have already been provided with it.

Thanks mate. Reading back - what I said was that they were confident, bullish, and dismissed City’s position as lacking credibility. That’s still what I’m saying now. I never claimed this was presented as being based on an informed view of the final judgement from the panel - quite the...

I don’t give a shit about a bit of online melodrama mate - I’ll have forgotten all about it in about an hour. Whereas if I’d given any further detail which I felt could compromise me, I’d probably be worried about it all night! Anyway, this is (I’m hoping) my last post on this, as I’m sure...

Lol!

Exactly mate - I wasn’t suggesting it was a forensic evisceration of City’s case which indicated a closeness to the detail, nor was it presented as being the result of having seen the final judgement. It was a general position of confidence which definitely suggested people relatively senior at...

It was part of a wider conversation that a few of us were involved in - and was in person, so it wasn’t something related to me via text. I’m not saying where it was mate - sorry.

No - the ungrateful bastards!! It’s not like they can’t afford it!!

I’ve got no interest in creating melodrama for attention. I’ve been on here for 17 years, and have no history of winding people up for fun. I posted something that I heard directly which indicated the general view of some relatively senior people at the PL towards our case. Nothing more. We...

Not at all mate. It’s fine to ask. But it’s also fine for me to say No. I’m confident that, based on the level of detail I’ve provided - I’m ok. That’s my judgement. It may be proven to be wrong, but I’m comfortable with it as it stands.

I don’t disagree with any of that. But it’s not really related to what I posted - which was about PL reps still pushing the position that City didn’t have a leg to stand on. Like I said - this could absolutely be based on a lack of closeness to the mechanics of the case, and indicative of the...

No. On both counts.

I have no idea. But I do know that client journalists of clubs who have an interest in perpetuating this narrative definitely do read this site, so if I start plastering names and contexts about - it wouldn’t be that difficult to trace that back to me.

And if someone seriously thinks they can expect a poster to divulge names, dates, locations, contexts for conversations about something like this with no consideration of the personal or professional repercussions of doing so - just to satisfy the curiosity of someone they’ve never even met...

I’m not protecting them - I’m protecting me. The more detail I provide, the easier it would be for anyone who’s interested to trace the conversations - which is not something I’m looking to encourage. I’ve shared what I feel comfortable with sharing. I know it’s not a complete picture, and as...

If you genuinely think I have any interest in naming anyone, you’re wasting your time. I couldn’t give a fuck if some bloke on the internet believes me or not because I haven’t provided names. Take it or leave it - that’s up to you - but you shouting about it because it doesn’t fit the...

Senior people always acting with the utmost professionalism and propriety in all situations and contexts. Yeah, mate.
