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

Men against boys

Stefan has the air of a friendly uncle trying to explain something a bit too complicated for his toddler aged nephews to understand. He remains patient as time after time they make points that reveal their lack of understanding and so he tries to explain it again to them a little bit more slowly.

Not sure “having the air of friendly uncle” would be a vibe SB would be looking to cultivate tbf mate.

Thought that was far fairer on RTE, than what your used to watching annd elsewhere, even if the assumption of guilt was there still due to the UEFA verdict.
Even Brian Kerr surprised me with his attitude, although I’d say the tact he took was as much to do with the points being driven by Souness and Quinn.
Because normally he’s just a smug gobshite.

Souness lives in the South Manchester area. He knows all the North West football Club Directors and has strong links with the business community because of his extensive charity work. He knows full well what has happened to City with the smear campaign. A lot of the people involved in the dirty tricks live near him in Cheshire. It's a small clique and they use the same bars and restaurants. That's why he speaks with authority on the subject.

Losses funded by an owner who can afford them, not loading the club with debt, isn’t allowed to spend to build to compete with the clubs that have huge debt but bigger t/o

UEFA were never ever going to go after the rags and kill their golden goose - hence we became the target in their crosshairs .

Something positive about us?

Bloody hell. Souness was clairvoyant.

Souness is more intelligent than most pundits.

More the air of an exasperated professor talking to a particularly thick class.

Can't the chairman of villa right off the debt by converting the debt into shares like Steve Gibson did at Middlesbrough.
By the way ,I know nothing about finance. I read it on Teeside live on the Internet.

Yep it’s an utter load of cock.

At the time of that analysis we had been found guilty and banned for two years by UEFA.
We hadn’t been vindicated by CAS at that stage.

So he was technically correct. It would have been how things would always have been viewed, by everyone bar ourselves.

And to be fair there's a huge chunk of people on here who think the whole process has been to tarnish regardless of final outcome. I think it's a fair enough point really.
