Re: Balotelli & City agree settlement!
This is a good thing. A tribunal and the publicity it brings is no way to settle our internal affairs.
There is always a presumption in a settlement that the employer has backed down. It is believed that it was Mancini who sanctioned the fine and highly unlikely therefore that he personally intervened. More likely, lawyers from both parties looked at the case and settled as the case could go either way.
Balotelli meanwhile has prodigious natural gifts but brings the stain of negative media attention with him. At this time in our development we can do without it and, as much as it will be a shame, we should cut our losses.
