I’m playing catch up here, but who called Harris as an expert? And was his expert testimony simply that footballer’s wages aren’t publicly known?

I don’t see anything in that quote you posted that suggests it wasn’t accepted as expert testimony, but I do wonder what exactly he contributed there?

As below:


153. Nick Harris is a sportswriter, researcher, and analyst, specialising in the business and finance of sport, particularly football. He provides evidence about the earnings that might be achieved by professional footballers. There was a lively debate as to whether his evidence amounted to factual or expert evidence. I am satisfied that in all material respects it amounts to factual evidence, for the reasons given by Cavanagh J at a preliminary hearing (see TVZ at [122]-[130]) and for the (same) reasons I gave at the pre-trial review on 28 July 2021.

154. Mr Harris explains that the earnings figures of individual footballers are not, generally, publicly available. More general information is available from four sources. First, the Football League has produced average basic wages for professional footballers for each year from 1984 to 2015, broken down by league division. These figures do not include bonus payments and, because they are the average of all players in a division (so including reserve team players), they are not representative of those who regularly play for a club’s first team.
 
A bit late to the show but I found this tweet interesting, particularly considering the mature response to the 2020 CAS judgement on City...

What lies is he talking about?

I'm not 100% sure I'm sorry, but I imagine people calling him incorrect are what he considers to be the lies.

What bugs me is the very obvious fact that Nick Harris doesn't actually give a shit about any of these people and only took the case to get at City (maybe others have said this too which is the cause of the fuss).
 
When we were taken over by the sheik somebody posted on bluemoon what the trophy haul was likely to be. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen it. Wonder if any of you clever people could dig it out and repost it to see how close he(or she) was.

No idea... Only joined after the takeover.










Mind you, I've been City fan for well over 40 years though ;-)
