The laws of the game cannot dispatch anybody.
The highlighted part is not taken out of context, from my understanding it is not true, as the PL are saying breaches of their rules. Martin Samuels, who I usually view as a beacon of truth, is saying dispatched by law which implies law of the land not "laws" of the game.

Ahh, so you implied it. Whatever floats your boat.

It reads as a puff piece to the Scousers who will need a lot of good luck to carry on at the same level as Klopp. Most top end managers are trying to play the possession based Pep style of football. Where are the Scousers going to find their hoof it style manager, Allardice? They certainly don't have the players to make that transition. It's going to be interesting times when he moves on and I wouldn't be surprised if they fall back into the pack.

Yep, nothing much wrong with that, other than it's a little over the top about Liverpool. We really can't expect all articles to ignore the 115 situation when they mention City. And it wasn't mentioned at all hysterically.

Alonso changing his style so he can get the most out of the team doesn't seem like a flyer to me, though, when soon there will be other teams looking for a new manager who plays a more "Alonso" style. Being caught between a philosophical rock and a squad resembling a hard place trying to implement it hasn't worked out too well for ten Hag, has it?

I know what you are trying to say, but, as I understand it, the PL process is for breach of contract and follows the provisions of the Arbitration Act 1996, under UK law. So it's not false to describe it as a legal matter even if we don't like to hear it.

Said it in the past on here. Ogden is an absolute **** and always has been. He’s your typical Heywood red. Tries way too hard to fit in with his fellow utd fans, which if he worked on a fanzine would be acceptable but the fact he’s a supposedly professional journalist just makes him look a bigger **** than we all know he is.
I used to regret shoplifting bars of chocolate on my way home from school at his parents off license but now I wish I’d have thrown in crisps and a can of lilt..

Typical Heywood reds are the bane of my life. Well, they were. They're not as pervasive as they used to be.
Had no idea Ogden was from round here, though. Gutted I missed out on a potential opportunity to say hello.

What bothers City fans is the constant referral of '115' whatever the story. It's late next year at the earliest that there could be a resolution, yet every day the public are fed the same bullshit. Tell a lie often enough and people will believe it, that's what the red tops and their client journalists want.

Absolutely nothing to justify the angst posted in the last couple of pages.

Totally fair piece. Thanks for posting.

Nah, it was Bet Lynch who lived in Heywood.
Her fashion sense fits right in with the the animal print look they love so much.

Like it or not the PL case can’t be ignored. My optimistic take is that Klopp knows City are not getting sanctioned and that’s one of his reasons for leaving. LFC are in the loop with the PL leadership and have a good idea of the weakness of that case.

Water on Windermere floats my boat;-)
As a journalist words are his tools. He would have said laws of the game if that is what he meant, he didnt, he said law not "laws". If you cant see the differences with City articles I can, and its not what floats my boat;-)
