Khaldoons End of Season Interview

1) What are you basing that on?
2) They had to as all their competitors were if the ESL had worked we would have been financially at a disadvantage so had to at least join to be in the conversation. It was noteworthy that we pulled out first when we saw the way the winds were blowing
3) I disagree I have been in the Platt Lane and North Stand since we moved and there are still the same faces around me.

Yes tickets have got more expensive but so has everything else. This is a business the tickets will sell and who buys them the club doesnt care and nor should it really

A business that neither knows nor cares who its customers are and what they buy is heading for a fall.

Didn't sound particularly positive when he mentioned Gundo and a sympathetic understanding he may have reasons for leaving?

And, there was clearly an edit for the Gundo question. If you listen carefully, Chris' question was redubbed.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Yeah yeah yeah, anything on the membership scandal and the and the ticketing criteria for the CL semi!?!?

Those failings can be addressed to Danny Wilson and Roel de Vries at any time. They are the responsible Executives.

Corrected for you! I get rather a teensy, weensy bit grassed off when people class that horrible club as being in Salford. Sorry. :-)

Thanks for the correction, but I wasn’t talking about the Trafford lot, I was talking about an amateur team who play in Salford :)

So nowt to be grassed off with Mario

I still wonder whether they joined to destroy the cartel super league & the owners are that good at playing the long game they are happy to be blamed by their own supporters.

I may be ridiculously naive but where would we be if we didn’t join & pull the plug instantly.

They has no choice however despite every report City were the first to withdraw not Chelsea this was the beginning of the end

The best chairman in world football.
I really hope we get a video WHEN we are found not guilty of the 115 lies.

Clearly, he's not a man who thinks he will lose the battle with the Premier League.

I think it was quite telling that he DID NOT say that we are innocent of all charges and that we will be fully vindicated through the legal process. Why did he NOT say that, I wonder?

I can think of three reasons.

1. Our lawyers have told him to say nothing. There's nothing to be read into it, it's just a good policy to say nothing in case anything you do say may be taken out of context or even damage your case in some way, so silence is the safe option. Quite possible, IMO.

2. He's aware of developments in the case which he cannot comment upon, such as we're reaching agreement to get all serious charges dropped provided we agree to a slapped wrist for trivial non-compliance such as not providing required documentation? Again, possible, IMO.

3. He knows we're in a tight spot and doesn't want to look like a prat by telling everyone we're completely innocent only to be found guilty on some counts later. And OBVIOUSLY he can't say well we're probably guilty on some counts. So he has to say nothing.

I really do not know how to read it, but I do think his silence on the matter is significant. I am inclined to think (2) above, if I had to pick.

114. We will be found not to have co-operated. That is the PL’s fig leaf.
