City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

Masters signed off the statement. He is the CEO.
The Chair, Alison Brittain, would also have signed it off.
A statement of such significance required both..
Parts of it were lies intended to deceive. That reflects the failed unlawful governance of the organisation which they are responsible for.
Both should resign.
The only question is when?

Agreed. They were trying to deceive people. It was a misleading and fundamentally dishonest message. The PL officials are supposed to act for all 20 PL clubs. The Judges ruled they had been unfair to City and the first thing they did was put out an unfair press release. I still can’t believe the PL lawyers let it go out. Don’t forget the MO of the PL in the last five years has been to leak information aimed to damage City. And they are still doing it even after being warned by Judges.

Right. But if anything went against us it would be headline news on their website. Certainly on BBC Sport.

Aye. True. Was chatting with my dad tonight. He’s 86 and hasn’t been “online “ in his life. He lives in a world where “115” is the house down the road. Think I envy him.

It’s “big news” to us. In a world of highly incendiary global conflict and an impending US election and other such trans-national import, it’s chicken feed. And rightly so.

Not much about all that on the Sports pages

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

I don't know where they found "extreme bias".

I don’t remember that phrase but, to be honest, if you read the evidence about how the PL blocked our sponsors what they did was extreme. Unbelievable in fact. They have possibly cost City up to £100m using unlawful and unfair methods.

It’s good enough for the football page during an international break. They gave plenty of coverage to the PL claims victory story. The BBC has been dishonest with this story from day one.

Maybe they thought they could put out their Chemical Ali statement and City wouldn’t respond in public?

They flee like Rats.

From 19 mins - fucking pathetic watered down reason for the times article. No mention that City accused the premier league of mis-leading everybody.

Its a fucking scandal!

Masters realising he is messing with the wrong club:

Just like they delayed the verdict then gave an ambiguous statement about that verdict, it was more smoke and mirrors to pretend everything was fine and dandy, when in fact it was anything but. They are a corrupt untrustworthy bunch of shysters who care only about four clubs. Liverpool, Arsenal, United and Spurs.

Funny they were doing exactly what they accused city with 115 charges.

Heads will roll for this, they have to for such a monumental disaster class but do we really want Masters out? This isn't us against him, he isnt even the enemy, he's just the fall guy for the real enemies. If he goes, somebody else takes over championing the yank cartels will instead and they might not be as dim as he appears to be. His incompetence is making things very easy for our lawyers.

Masters is to our legal team what Ten hag is to us.

Noel Gallagher quite brilliantly linked Masters to the red cartel publicly.
I don’t know if he’s done that off his own bat or not.
But the link is now there. And I guess the PL will be less likely to hire someone linked, even remotely, to the red cartel.
