I see the West Ham dolly birds article in the Sun this morning, where she points only to one element of the tribunals verdict on APT (sponsorship), and goes on to highlight the presence of an unfair playing field in that area. However, she completely avoids any mention of the now invalid practice of directors loans and the obvious fact that if those transactions were retrospectively assessed for the season 23/24 it could bring a complete quagmire of legal claims including some from the relegated teams who might highlight Everton as being incorrectly assessed with respect to PSR for the last rolling 3 year period.

When I lived in N.Wales it was riddled with Dipper's fans.

They've all emigrated there from their own dying shithole

. . . . . . . . . . . . Who knows what dreadful incident might befall some innocent person as a result of this kind of behaviour being fomented by the media?

They ought to be ashamed of themselves..

Who was it who invited the gobshites of Anfield to give MCFC a 'warm welcome' when we visited that shithole for the CL game. Outcome? A wrecked coach. Did Klopp ever apologise and did LFC pay for the repairs/renewal?

Pep should've declared that the players were traumatised and unfit to play, booked 20 cabs, and returned in convoy to Manchester.

Global news.

Handle that UEFA & that dippers !!

Our dear friends at Football365 continue to wish Haaland away from the PL. desperate to link him to Barcelona. Their ignorance clearly extends to the financial peril that Barcelona are presently in. Barcelona couldn’t afford a week of Haalands wages let alone his fee.

Barcelona couldn’t afford a weekend in Benidorm ..

Very telling that the media have no interest in the directors loans and the fact these have distorted the whole financial picture. It’s a farce but they are happy to live with it - but can imagine if we were the only ones with a directors loan - the PL and the media would be all over it.

I think we all have to accept, and most of us now do, that the Red Cartel clubs run the (London based) English Football Media, as well as previously running and controlling Richard ‘the Puppet’ Masters and the PL.

Thankfully there are some journalists who won’t fall in line, and will report the truth.(about City)

And fans from other PL clubs, Everton, Newcastle, Forest, Leicester, West Ham, etc, now understand why City have been fighting against Masters, the PL, and the 3 Red Shirt Cartel, clubs.(and other clubs like Spurs, Brighton, West Ham, etc)

If talking to a united fan and they bring it up, you just mention the continuing decade+ Saudi telecom sponsorship , and their soccer school academy in Saudi.
Or , when speaking of gay rights, there decade+ long Aeroflot deal (terminated quietly after the 2nd Ukraine invasion).

The hypocrisy of the red cartel fans is astounding, but they never own up to it.

I had a prolonged “debate” with a couple of rag mates (I know, I know) a few years ago. I pointed out their long-term sponsorship by Middle Eastern companies but apparently that was fine as it’s completely different from being owned by a Middle Eastern company. I pointed out the ludicrousness of that position - surely dirty oil money is dirty oil money however much of it you take, and if you’re that morally opposed to it then you should choose to take none. Needless to say, they wouldn’t accept that!

How did they feel about taking money from Aeroflot whose majority shareholder is the Russian government?
