Yep changing the word to “obstructed” and trying to push a new narrative.On the scale of wankstainishness, is Jamie Jackson higher or lower than Sam?
What an absolute turd asking that question at the end.
Liverpool’s owners were left stunned by Monday’s CAS decision and are awaiting the publication of the full report with interest. They believed that #ManCity had broken the rules and would be punished accordingly. [
@JamesPearceLFC
For Liverpool, there’s frustration that UEFA was undone to a degree by #ManCity’s legal team and its own regulations.
Jurgen Klopp: “It’s about competition. I said I’m happy that #ManCity got back in the Champions League, I don’t want them to lose money or whatever. It’s just, if there are rules, I think it makes sense that you all stick to them
Deal with it tossers
He is still suggesting that we broke the rules. And that he can somehow see that, while the senior judges couldn't.
The club really needs a follow up statement, with some type of caution against this clear and organised attempt to damage its reputation.

I've listened to Mourinho and Klopp interviews a couple of times now and i don't agree with the spin that the media are putting on them.
Mourinho was saying its a disgrace because not guilty shouldn't end up with a punishment of a fine of a few millions. Conversely if we had been guilty it should have been a ban not a fine. A rather simplistic argument that doesn't fit if you are charged with more than one crime. The punishment from UEFA was always lumped together as a ban and a fine for breaking FFP rules. UEFA to my knowledge didn't say it was a ban for FFP and a fine for not cooperating, certainly not in the media , so i can sort of get his understanding. Personally, until i read a full account of the result, i'm annoyed we ended up with a fine for a lesser transgression. Klopp is more difficult to interpret but i took it that he was drawing a comparison between Germany financing vs the rest ie club financing & licence vs moneyed owner. He was suggesting FFP can't be broken in Germany because of the way the clubs are structured. He said he was happy City are not banned - as he couldn't see anyone winning a Premier title if City played 12 games less and could rotate player more . He did add that he didn't know too much about the specifics of City's case. His comment about it being a bad day for football i tend to agree with. The whole process was a fuck up from the start from a UEFA stand point. FFP rules being changed to enable us to fall foul of them, investigations opened as a result of illegal hacking, selective prosecutions, leaking of information to media sources , breaches of time limitations etc. For a prosecution to go all this way and then be thrown out on appeal was a failure. If a crown criminal case was prosecuted and failed in the same manner i'd be saying it was a bad day for the crown. Maybe he was inferring the criminals got off? I would have preferred him to comment in that great, time honoured ,Scouse patter It was a bad day for football but a great day for justice

Early coverage of Pep's press conference looks like it will be mockery.
Nothing funnier than when idiots make sweeping statements, missing the point and key information. Woosh, wankers, woosh.
Totally agree with this. I’m no fan of either but the press is using them to stoke up a war of words between the managers. Pep is having none of it. His press conference was a masterclass of iron will expressed in diplomatic terms. I used to think the agenda and conspiracy theorists were ott but I am genuinely shocked by the outrageous irresponsibility of the media. in fact it’s perhaps as well no crowds are allowed at games for the time being because the press are delighting in stirring up hatred just so they can sell their pathetic newspapers. Times Guardian Independent are just as bad as the red tops in this.. it’s disgraceful but I am so looking forward to Khaldoon’s statement.
I think Pep conference yesterday was the first salvo in the shitstorm we were told about by PB and others

cheers PPSorry pal. 10.30 is the time when the 2nd half of press conferences become available to all. Until then it's exclusive to accredited writers and is designed to help the print media. Not sure they deserve such access given their performance that's all.
YesIsn't that @projectriver who along with Prestwich_Blue gave us all the details of CAS recently in the other thread?
