Re: City & FFP (continued)

There is possibly one I could think of but that would be seismic.

Bloody tease

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Not for the first time today someone suggests that we may have dirt on Platini.

I know you have not named him PB but its clear that some of you have info :-)

I know the way the media works. All the pro-City stories read pretty much the same so they've clearly come from the club, either directly or via a third party. There is simply no way people like Hayward or Herbert would run these unless they had a very strong incentive to. And that incentive would usually be an ever better story and it would have to be a stormer. There is possibly one I could think of but that would be seismic.

Please be about Walton and Mason

You may think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

So you do know something.

Seismic!

It can't be too seismic. If it was anything like out and out corruption (bribes etc.) it would be the duty of the state to prosecute.

Maybe it's about something unrelated ? ;.)

City are finally realising that you have to play dirty sometimes. It's my strong suspicion that the media are being told that if they take our line, they will get first dibs at a big story shortly (and may even have been told what it is).

Woooo, Prestwich, combined with what fbloke had to say this is becoming mouthwateringly interesting! My dull brain thought the only figures involved were of the numerical variety, but you dangle dazzling prospects before us here....I thought Platini was just another dodgy player who played for the dodgiest team in Europe in their most dodgy period but this sounds much more interesting!

On a serious note, I can't understand how we can have believed that we would comply, admittedly not with much to spare, but then parts of our revenue were "revalued" and we failed by such a massive amount that we merit a world record fine for a spots organisation! Can you explain? Simply please?

fbloke, can you divulge what the "line" that "was crossed" was?

Re: City & FFP (continued)

There is definitely a mood swing in the media towards us after the £50mill fine came out.

Are we on about 'one' media outlet here, as it wouldn't make any sense giving them all a scoop.

Is that a Clarkie?

Everyone can see that FIFA is bent as a laser printed rembrant. Yet the Swiss authorities do nothing, year on year. Why would they bother with UEFA? As I said above, Gary Glitter would have to be involved before the authorities took action on these crooks.
