He was colouring in last time stefan was on there.
A box of crayolas and a blank sheet of paper, he just kept zoning out and returned to his colourings in.
Was bizarre.

The audacity of the media to call out a couple of footballers rather than delve into the main protagonists of tax avoidance.

Too true! Naught for our comfort in that lot of hot air. Echoes Stefan's pivotal dispute with City's legal team discussed so much in the thread - having the new Etihad & AD Bank deal reassessed under the pre Feb APT rules may well still result in them staying blocked - can't see any other win so why is it a good day for us on his take ?

A bit unfair. It was Jordan who first said it was a good day for City. I think what @slbsn meant was that the vote wasn't a huge defeat for City as it was presented, for the reasons we all know, and that otherwise it was largely irrelevant.

Nothing at all wrong with that segment. Put his view over and said it was his opinion but nobody knows. That's all anyone can expect.

My personal view, while not based on the level of knowledge he has of course, is that nobody will know who "wins" and "loses" until the final tribunal judgment. Good headlines but complete nonsense, especially on the recent vote. And the "win" for the club is getting the Etihad deal through by whatever means possible.

I just can't shake the idea that City have a strategy here that goes beyond getting the Etihad deal through. Could be wrong, of course but it would explain a few things I am struggling with in my simple brain.

One or two on here are quite hostile to Stefan. He is just giving his opinion; argue against if you like, but no aggression needed.

Ahhh trickle down economics give a Monaco based billionaire who owns a multi billion pound football club billions & hope that a fraction of it trickles down to minnows on minimum wage despite already slashing their hours…..

Instead of trickle up where benefits are provided to the most needy who will spend every penny ensuring it drives the economy….

As I have said before, I have the honour of being considered both a mouthpiece and shill for City whilst simultaneously upsetting Jonny types for being sceptical about City’s extreme legal position.

And he wants the same minnows to foot the bill to build his new stadium, incredible the brass neck of these top hats.

Shameless.
