@Prestwich_Blue have you ever tried calling in to speak to Simon Jordan about City and FFP?
I've actually considered doing it myself, but I'm nowhere near qualified in comparison to you.
I know that Talksport are bear baiters and they want to wind people up so they call in. I wouldn't bother calling an Adrian Durham or Jamie O'hara, because they don't actually know what they're talking about.
Simon Jordan is a dickhead and a gobshite, but he clearly has some level of intelligence, and he actually seems to just be completely misinformed about City and FFP.
It's people like him, who have a voice and are capable of understanding what's really happened with City and FFP, who could make a difference with the great unwashed.
There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that you and your solicitor friend (forgive me, was it Stefan?) could twist the entire British media establishment up in knots regarding City and FFP.I'm flattered you have such belief in my financial prowess and ability to get the message across.
But do you honestly think most of the people spouting these myths would change their minds, even if I did the most powerful and persuasive debunking of the various myths surrounding our FFP issues? I also strongly suspect, as others have said on here, that people like Simon Jordan have their brief from Talkshite producers. Jordan is bad cop to Trevor Sinclair's good cop.
Totally fair, but read my post above and let me know what you think of that.What would be the value in this? Jordan is an ignorant prick…. @Prestwich_Blue wasting some of his valuable time debating FFP with an utter moron would simply be a waste of @Prestwich_Blue time and Jordan would still be an ignorant prick….

I take your point about Jordan, I personally think his ego is so big that if he disagreed with the producers, he’d say whatever he thought was right.
I think the problem Trevor Sinclair has is the same as a lot of City fans. He knows the truth, but he struggles to remember the nuance and the facts and figures to articulate the facts when challenged.
I genuinely think with your knowledge and the production and social media skills of @twosips and others, you could produce a 2 minute video like the Peter Stefanovic one below which could be an absolute game changer for the narrative around the club.
It would be something City fans could refer journalists and other people to when they are spouting their misinformed bile about the club.
On Monday Jim nice but dim white was asking city fans who’d been on the pitch to ring in and explain why they’d done itBeing a TalkSport presenter is just like being a tabloid headline writer. It's the personification of clickbait. They will say anything just to get people to call in. They don't want to hear rational arguments all they want is inflammatory rhetoric so they can fuel the tribalism. Unfortunately, as the most successful club around at this time, we're an easy target for most of their bile. As the club didn't clamp down on it early then things like state owned will always be thrown our way.
The first rule of selling is to be likeable. If people like you, they will buy off you. He doesn’t strike me as a good salesman at all.A good salesman - bad businessman = Good bullshitter/gift of the gab.

You could just head but the **** :-)I'm flattered you have such belief in my financial prowess and ability to get the message across.

Yeah, this is a good point. There are plenty of business owners out there who have done well for themselves but aren't hugely clued up on the financial side of things. That's why they employ accountants to do that part of the job for them.Jordan is not a finance expert. He is actually a business failure who has re-invented himself as a pundit to try and pay the bills. When you listen to his comments it is pretty clear he doesn't understand the world of finance because he makes a lot of basic errors. His comments about City show he doesn't understand our business model.
He got lucky selling mobile phones. He's probably a brilliant salesman but in the world of finance he is a bluffer. Being a bluffer can help you go a long way these days. Look at the world of politics.
