Time to smash summer transfers.

Okay, fess up, who is this? ;)

Is "Do one" offensive or a polite way of saying get lost ?

I m not disagreeing I am just saying what I think Simon Jordan was implying and that he was not actually being as conciliatory as it would appear

You need to remember that Jordan is totally clueless, nearly bankrupted his own club & now makes a living by trolling for a discredited Radio Station. He’s not to be taken seriously, he’s just there to wind people up & create discord

Sorry if already covered but curious to know something about the allegations that were time-barred.

Did the time-barring come into effect from the date the formal investigation was launched or from the date UEFA charged City?

According to UEFA’s own rules the 5 years would have been from an alleged breach

It's not offensive, at least not yet. You're exactly right, it means "get lost".

To be fair, he's the only journalist that's supported us against FFP, I think it's only fair to give him a click rather than pasting the whole thing.

And I say that as a Daily Mail hater.

Essential reading. Please pass on to anyone who ever doubts it or Indeed says City are corrupt. It's a brilliant piece of writing. Samuel is by a country mile the best sports writer in Britain. Easily.

Thank you !

Thank you !

It can also be used to say one is leaving, eg "We're losing 6-1 at home, let's do one".

If I've got it right here it is.....

I say 'well done' to Gary Neville for the first time since he fed the Goat.

Great piece By Martin Samuel

I also just read the Martin Zygler piece , which is a very matter of fact piece and gives a good look into how city's legal team as well as UEFA's worked.

Also the Henry Winter's piece starts off like a hit piece on city, but it is a fair read .
