Wondering if there's any opinions on the timing of this...?

International Break news release doesn't suggest something organic... Or am I wrong?

People saying blackmail... is the idea that "his" side have released the videos to escape blackmail..? or...? He's refused blackmail and so the blackmailers have released the videos...?

But if so why time it with an international break...?

There always seems to be a big scoop at the start of international windows.

Fills the void of no football for 3-4 days.

Makes a change from City being dragged through the mud during an international break.

So would you say the media just sat on the story until this point..?

If he'd not mentioned the scousers I doubt the story would have been printed.

I can’t say for sure, but it does seem quite the coincidence if not. I’m sure our taking the PL to tribunal bombshell dropped on the Monday of an international break too.

I'm quite confused about it really... The videos are years old.. how do you rate the chances that the media have only just seen them...?

And what do you think is the story and run of events that made them come out...?

However we got to this point (and I still think blackmail is a distinct possibility), it's been a clear and organised stitch up by the media.

I’ve no idea. It could be that they’ve published them as soon as they’ve been sent them, or they’ve sat on them waiting for a lull in stories for maximum exposure.

It could be that the guy who filmed it has got into financial trouble recently and decided to sell the video to the highest bidder, or he’s sent it to a WhatsApp group and someone else has cashed in on it.

For me the stitch up is... Releasing the first video and sitting on the snorting lines one until people have come out to defend him...

Is that what you mean..?
