Atkins couldn't even get the charges right. His central claim was that City's sponsor deals were "inflated above market value" but that suggestion was dismissed by all parties after repeated audits. The central allegation is that some of our sponsor payments came from Sheikh Mansour not directly from the sponsors but that was debunked totally by CAS and stressed in their written statement (that angle was the headline they used on their press release) Atkins is, as you point out, a stooge.I get all that, but my point is that this so-called academic can be nothing of the sort (or at least not a legal academic) if he thinks the application of a limitation period is a loophole. The fact he’s said that it is on BBC News suggests he’s a charlatan, which certainly suits the narrative to which you point.
They’ve basically interviewed a know nowt **** because of what he’ll say, not because of his knowledge on the subject.
It’s not just League 2. I was watching the non-league playoffs last week and they were playing out from the back like a Pep team. His influence on English football has been immense.
His reply to Twosips jokey but polite tweet tells everyone what sort of 'man' Carragher is.Which makes Carragher’s Twitter comments the other day all the more preposterous.
