Great headline wording by David Conn of the Guardian.

No David, City are innocent until proven guilty.(you absolute c***!)

There's nothing wrong with that headline. protesting your innocence is done by innocent people all the time.

No link, but you know the line and the narrative taken by BBC Sport.

———————————————————————————————————————

However, according to one well-placed source, a final decision is yet to be made by chief investigator Yves Leterme.

The former Belgian prime minister, chairman of the investigatory panel of Uefa's independent financial control board, is set to make a recommendation this week.

With no vote in such cases, the final say lies with him but several of his colleagues are understood to have firmly expressed the view at a recent meeting that a season-long ban would be a suitable punishment if City are found guilty. (more of the article at British Biased Sport)

I'm assuming that they've got the wording wrong there, because otherwise deciding the punishment before knowing if someone is guilty is going to get the lawyers very excited.

That's what I thought but amongst other things, he called us 'incredible'. It's simply the BBC stirring the pot, putting any quote out that any Liverpool player has said over the last couple of days and sticking a bullshit headline on it - the message is clear, we've had our day in the sun, now they're coming after us again. Fuck the BBC.
 
The Mirror has gone with Ole rebuilding the rags and inside dick is gobbing off again saying they are not going away

Fuck them all,whatever is going on with the investigation it's nowt to do with what we do on the pitch

Robertson's words were no doubt twisted by the BBC but I don't think Liverpool have done themselves any favours with their recent statements to the press. It has just motivated our team more and we do our talking on the pitch.
 
When's that clown releasing him human rights story that we should all be ashamed of, been spouting all over twitter last few days but I assume nothings been released yet.

I have complained to the BBC and I urge all other fans to do the same
My complaint was:

"The current BBC headline: Uefa “want Man City banned from Champions league” and article is unfair and deliberately damaging and unproven.

As the club say there is a “deliberate campaign to damage the club” and the BBC, a public funded organisation is playing a leading part.

Can you imagine a pre-trial headline “Police/CPS want person X to face life imprisonment” before the full evidence has been heard?

It is a fundamental right there should be a presumption of innocence not guilt.

Additionally throughout the 2018/19 PL campaign, and beyond, all the BBC journalists have shown a clear bias in favour of Liverpool.

Headlines such as “Liverpool look to make history,” when exactly the same could be said for City. They can achieve a unique domestic Grand Slam not to mention historic back to back PL titles.

Most BBC coverage since the final day has not been about City’s achievement, coming back from 7 points behind in January, but how Liverpool can improve further for next season.

The BBC football is full of ex-Liverpool players who consistently fail to give independent, unbiased output in breach of the BBC Charter’s core values."

That's good, carbon copy to our media correspondent @franksinatra.
Intend to put in my two penny worth.
Don't expect anything other than a bland reply though.
