CAS judgement: UEFA ban overturned, City exonerated (report out p603)

[The Future’s Blue!]

Bloody noses.

The sooner the club’s lawyers sue a journalist for defamation, and cause the meany mouthed fucker to have to sell their house to pay the damages the better. Someone like stone, conn, roan, harries, delooney, Ogden, ronay. It might stop the others

I’m certain the club have already been onto it, hence the change in the headline.
We’re not going to keep taking it anymore...

It took them until 10PM at night to change the headline, same with the Mail.

At this point they aren't the main headlines and the majority of people who clicked on the site today would think City are cheats who got off on a technicality.

The rags showed the way to do it in the 90's and 00's, ban them and they change their tune and wouldn't dare criticise the club.

There’s a difference in suing the fuck out of them rather than getting them to tone down headlines

David Conn should be issued with a writ. He’s basically saying CAS were corrupt and City’s nominee had a conflict of interest. CAS make a ruling thar Conn doesn’t like so the prick calls foul.

Conn's piece is disgusting and he's burned any bridges he may have had, both with City and with me. I'm going to go to town on him as well tomorrow. He's clearly being told what to write, whereas I always thought he had integrity, even if I didn't agree with him.

Is that after all the complaints about the original article???

Probably, and someone has had a word, I believe.

Which is why I can't see City wasting time and effort on these so called "journalists". Going after them would be counter productive and give them the opportunity to play the down trodden victim. Besides, they would still write their filth even if they were banned. From City's perspective, the game plan continues; we can still attract the top talent, attract the best sponsors/investors and play the best football. And nothing that Harris, Conn et al can write or tweet can change that now.

Part of me agrees with you, they would only frame it as City being enemies of free speech so it would be counter-productive and only serve to feed their delusional self-importance and whistle-blowing fantasies. It would become a weird badge of honour for some genuinely damaged individuals.
However, our laissez faire policy to challenging the media has clearly failed thus far. Perhaps making an example of a few select individuals, hitting them fast and hitting them extremely hard, wouldn’t be the worst thing in terms of halting this groundswell of embittered bile. We have already seen off one bunch of biased frauds in UEFA and the G14. Taking a couple of openly hostile liars to the bankruptcy courts would be a piece of piss in comparison

I fucking hate Delaney. Out of 93 pages, he chose to tweet about the thing where CAS agrees that we failed to co-operate. Hope his wife now tweets that she cheats on him because he has a small dick.

Also get them to publicly apologise rather than changing the headline 6 hours after the damage has been done

This has probably been covered on here, but after Roan changed his stance slightly, daily mail have also changed theirs to 'overwhelmingly exonerated '. Club are clearly fighting back, just wish they'd go after the likes of the WhatsApp group and others.

I don't think Roan wrote the original article.

Pieces in Roan's name have been solid all evening, starting with tweets, and with the part under his name on the BBC page.

The top part was significantly rewritten, and Roan's stuff added.
