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

I still cannot bring myself to believe that EVERY media person out there believes what they write. And I certainly don't believe many, if any, actually HATE City.

If you remove the last two words in your sentence above and replace with"...that gets clicks and makes money", I could believe it.

Unless I'm living in a blinkered, Utopian bubble.

The likes of Delainey, Pearce & Harris absolutely detest City because they grew up as rags or dippers & are hurting.

Wilson (Sunderland fan) & Custis (Newcastle fan) like many others jumped on the rag bandwagon in the '90s & have paid their mortgages & probably put their kids through Private schools on the back of it.

Then we have the likes of Wallace & Holt who will write anything if it creates the clickbait they need & keeps them relevant.

Journalism used to be a trade & years of working your way up to the top jobs, but now we live in a world of clickbait & columnist who have fell straight of university.

You have to remember in every mining, oil, chemical, political, weapons etc organisations there’s a sniveling **** gaslighting you until you believe the opposite of what you can see.

The pen is mighty than the sword

“These Arabs….. coming over here & obeying our laws..!”

The bastards.

Is that a possible / likely option?

Wow - we would have to be so sure of the Tribunal view - imagine if they did not come down on our side

Does that make any difference as I presume the injuction would only be in place from the moment the EPL try to force through rules that City believe are illegal until the tribunals findings are made public

While I’m not defending the Geordies here and the attendance was indeed 10,004, it wasn’t the last home game before Keegan took over as manager. It wasn’t even the same season. Oxford game was April 1991 and I think it was a rearranged midweek game after the first match got called off due to heavy rain. Keegan became Newcastle manager in February 1992. IIRC their last home game before his appointment drew a crowd of around 16,000*. For his first game, another 14,000 or so Newcastle fans suddenly remembered where St James’ Park was!

*Edit: Just checked and last home game pre-Keegan was against Charlton. Attendance was 15,663. Interestingly, after the capacity crowd against Bristol City for his first game in charge, attendances started to drop off again - aside from the derby v Sunderland - as they struggled to pull away from the relegation zone. One game towards the back end of the season drew a crowd of just over 21,000. They lost 5 games on the bounce to leave them in deep shit, but won the last 2 and survived on the last day of the season.

I remember when the Doc joined Villa, his first game drew 44,000 iirc. Prior to that they got about 20,000 max. Third division?

There is no ‘but’ to an article purporting to be serious, which is so founded in absurdity. What a pitiful way to make a living.

Only someone possessing zero self respect would operate in that way.

What does it pay?
Asking for a mate.

An injunction until the tribunal decides seems very fair. It's what all normal people thought would happen anyway - no new rules until the tribunal confirms the current position.

Why didn't the tribunal clarify that at the time? I imagine because they weren't asked to, and they assumed the two parties were mature enough to work on a solution together.

I don't know, but taking unilateral action while awaiting legal clarification doesn't seem like an approach that will gain them many brownie points with the tribunal.

I was trying to think of an analogy for this latest twist and came up with a situation where you go to the doctor with a medical issue, and the doctor dismisses your concerns. However you go back and they agree there's something wrong and they were wrong to dismiss your concerns.

So they do some tests, then send you to a consultant who does some more tests. But before the test results come back, the GP sends you for surgery, even though they don't know what the specific problem actually is yet.

Have you got a copy of my medical history ?

They were giving the premier league an opportunity of not looking bitter small time cunts….. which they passed on.

Sort yourself out you scruffy ****.

I am trying, honestly.
