Surely its lazy journalism.

I’d prefer that to them deliberately printing falsehoods to purposely stir the pot

He must know that, it's his job to research this kind of thing Shirley?

I think it pretty much says as much in the article.
It's basically a non-story which someone has chucked a sensationalist headline on.

Takes 1 to know 1!!

Oi never put Pete in the same bracket as the cow.

Mogdon is planting the seed to find another way to attack us should Girona qualify for the Champions League and the piss boils as we're drawn in the same group.

The **** did it when Chavs we're drawn with CSKA.

I thought that this had already been debunked.

My recollection is that there are rules, and it's based on majority shareholding. CFG own less than 50% of Girona, so it's fine.

yep it has, poor journalism

Of course he does. It’s just more innuendo, so if we both qualify, the media, Talk Sport & the like can call us out on it & complain about how unfair it is

Even if the premise were true it’s still incorrect.

It doesn’t matter where City finish. Why? Because we are the holders.

When Liverpool were holders and finished outside the top 4 they still qualified and the rule was subsequently changed so that being the holders trumps all the other rules. So even if Girona won the league it would have zero impact on City wherever they finished.

The holders defend the trophy…. always…. In all circumstances.

Erm…..we’ll have to win it again this season for that to be true mate

Absolutely correct. Brain fart on my part! We will win it this season again though ;-)

 

[york away to this!]

Nice to hear 5live giving a little bit of time this evening to discuss Klipperty...

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Same on Talksport. And Talksport2.

He represents the biggest opponent to City. Any other time in history him leaving wouldnt have been noticed.
