City issue 'guidelines' reminder to press

[fbloke]

All recent B/S aside and silliness in its place I have just (this evening) had a conversation with a person who is part of the legal firm ******** and ********.

These people have 'close links' to City.

Apparently the club has recently sent out a number of letters to newspapers and broadcasters reminding them that any 'unfounded and scurrilous gossip would not be tolerated by the club'.

They have apparently targeted 4 leading sports journalists for particular attention and made editors aware of expected levels of 'professionalism and behaviour at future press conferences'

I didnt know that the club has employed a QC directly for a while now but apparently the decision to unleash him was taken after the recent bad press that the club has received.

If I find out anything more specific, i.e. who the club have targeted I will post it.

About bloody time. Too much unfounded BS about us floating around.

Re: City issue warnings to press

Was anyone else aware that City now directly employ a QC?

I'm not sure when that happened as it didnt come up in the conversation but it seems like the right thing to do for such a large company like City with global interests.

Of course it may explain why Mr Cook has more time to glad hand ;-)

directly employ seems a bit odd, he'd have to work for chambers, surely?

maybe it's someone on a permanent retainer.

Daniel Taylor writes for the Guardian, he is a rag twat and loves having a dig at City

If true it's good to see that City aren't taking any crap... though I would have thought someone like Carter Ruck or Herbert Smith would be a more obvious choice for this kind of work.
