He’s a lawyer & they never put their arse into the wind. Everything and anything is possible in law that’s how it works for them

Some lawyer must have put their arse into the wind for this action by the club.

Are you being serious? He has his professional reputation and integrity to watch out for, he's not going balls out for City on financial matters unless he is 100% sure he is right. He has defended us countless times on radio, podcast and social media.

I keep seeing posts slamming Stefan for no particular reason other than he doesn't wear his City scarf on TS? Whose dog did he run over?

 

[brazilians hurt]

When an independent tribunal finds that a governing body has “abused its dominant position”, shouldn’t there be some repercussions in terms of those responsible being removed from post?

You would think! Fallout is coming with the first glimpse will be at next weeks emergency PL meeting. I assume Sorriano is already rehearsing or perhaps the big gun might feel it necessary to attend

:) A lawyer will never admit he was wrong ...

Accountants, on the other hand, are wrong all the fucking time (but within the bounds of materiality) ;)

I've been disappointed in his mutual response considering he's a Blue. Martin Samuel's gave us better support.

Stefan is a lawyer first and a City fan second, which is why he's a credible voice.

Yes, it's nice to see the PL and the ragtops squirm as their confidence drains away but that is incidental to the facts. The facts are as @slbsn explained. In the big picture, this judgement doesn't mean too much for the future as the rules will be tweaked to comply. That's the correct position for a legal person to take imo, he's not a cheerleader.

The really interesting part here to me is that it has been legally established that the PL broke its own rules in how it dealt with City.

How interest free loads been allowed in the first place ?

Interest free loans they then get massive dividends from! So an owner loans there club 200m takes out a dividend that's better than any bank would give! Arsenal owner loan they pay around 2% interest on which is well under half but they get a dividend back that exceeds the 2% so makes them money! The way that got voted through as well was all pally by the usual clubs!

I personally don’t trust anyone who gets paid by talkshite, nothing personal to him

Stefan is enjoying his time in the sun but too many people are putting too much stock in everything he says, it is no coincidence that he keeps on getting invited back to talksport and is now quoting panja to football insider
