Newcastle face devastating blow after Man City update - Stefan Borson

Football Insider has been told by Stefan Borson Newcastle United are facing a devastating blow after a Man City update.

"It doesn’t look like City have prevailed in the way that would be particularly useful to Newcastle,” Borson told Football Insider.

“If City have only managed to get a concession in respect of the databank, I don’t think that’s going to move the dial where Newcastle are concerned.""

Ah I see so it's just a comment of the database thing as that's literally all anyone knows. The press have jumped on it and it's a nothing comment really

Nobody knows yet - except the Tribunal, City, the other PL clubs and the people they've told....

I assumed it was based on the Premier League meeting where they withdrew proposed changes to the database on sponsorships but didn’t revise any of the changes made in February which City were challenging

I suppose that is most likely. I was just trying to hear from the horse's mouth whether it was just that, in which case it can probably be ignored (as the PL themselves have said the proposed change was dropped after comments from several clubs), or whether there was more to it, in which case it could be important.

Really do not care if it helps Newcastle or not, if Newcastle wish to change things they can always challenge the Prem over the legality of rules and regulations as they see fit , i am sure they can afford lawyers etc .

I'm sure Panja shares in good faith with no agenda or bias...

I am sure he just repeats what he is told like all these other "journalists". The problem is what he is told and by who.

Which is why I was trying to find out if there were any other sources of that rumour that we don't know about. I guess not.

I spoke to multiple sources on APT in addition to reading Panja’s tweet. Whilst it is important to weigh the personal feelings of the tweeters, it is worth considering what he writes about a topic like this because he undoubtedly has some good sources. As I said, in any event, the quote considers the situation “if” he is correct.
