City launch legal action against the Premier League | Unconfirmed reports that City have secured "potentially significant victory" (p 808)

[Revolver]

Just my opinion and not shared by many on here it seems.

But the club can do more than one thing at a time.

They can win in tribunals and the courts and they can also play a much better game in the media.

If not an explanatory statement, then they have people like Micah Richards as a City Ambassador. Get him to tweet saying this legal case has nothing to do with the 115 charges, etc. What else are we having him as an ambassador for?

Just allowing silence allows all sorts of shit to be said about the club. Plus, any win in the courts will be ignored by the usual suspects anyway.

Imo, it's time for City to start being tougher with the media in this country because they've got away with crap for far too long.

I agree with a lot of what you say apart from getting Richards involved.

I don’t care what the vile shrill biased media think of us (their prejudices are shameful) and I know the board can’t comment on on going cases.

But to have no PR. Not to attenpt to point out the hypocrisy of all this. To remain silent apart from a couple of sentences from the chairman as this drags on and on.

These vile hypocrites don’t have to like us but a spotlight should be shone on their prejudices and allegiances so none cartel fans can see what’s really going on.

It’s not easy and I don’t have the answer (city owners surely could employ someone who does) but what’s happening now is ridiculous and the silence grates.

I work with a Forest fan who's obsessed with this. Every morning I do a handover from nights with him, the same shite: How come City haven't been punished then? I say to him, mate, why are you so focused on us and not the people who have attacked you?

Also, why do you think I care? It's got nothing to do with me. Because I wear a blue shirt that means I'm here for you to attack me with your financial fair play hate? Absolutely nothing to do with me. I like watching goals go in the net, keepers save goals, beautiful passes across the pitch and celebrating when we win.

None of this has anything to do with me. I supported City before this, support them now and will forever. Cunts going on like its Hitler Versus the Jews and I decided to support Hitler.

Not Goldbridge is it ?

Are you sure?

I thought 2011/12 and 2012/13 was the first (2 year) monitoring period for UEFA and 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16 the first monitoring period for the PL? Which is why the PL alleged breaches for FFP are only for the years 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18?

Maybe I am getting old :)

Sorry - didn't realise you meant the PL. But there's the PSR rules and then there's the other, generic PL rules about acting in 'utmost good faith' (whatever that means). I mean, did Liverpool act in 'utmost good faith' when they accessed our scouting data illegally?

I don't think the PL are alleging we've broken PSR rules (which are detail-lite) but they've used the catch-all about acting in utmost good faith.

Get Micah to make a statement? JFC

 

[Cobwebcat]

Had to be someone red.

Of all the people, both former players and non players, he could have picked and he picks Micah. Is that a clue that he's on the wum?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Lol, have they blamed us for the Russians invading Ukraine yet?

 

[Centurions]

Had to be someone red.

My money would have been on Levy TBH. Just as well that I don't gamble.
