PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[chesterbells]

I read a tweet I think from a journo saying “City are trying to drown the PL in paper” Wish I could remember who it was.

How else are you supposed to address over 100 charges of this seriousness over such a large number of years?

As ever, damned if we do …

Who are the actual individuals who are the decision makers in the PL? The ones who have issued the list of charges? We keep reading the PL have said this and that etc but obviously there must be people driving this

Maybe the cunts on governing body whoever the fuck they are .

This exposes a wider point around sports journalists and their sources. Historically, when it was a profession which operated under an ethical code of sorts, when a journalist quoted an anonymous source, it was reasonable to conclude that it was bona fide. These sources served a genuine purpose, as it meant people with inside knowledge of a given situation could provide a degree of insight without revealing their identity. The sanctity of a journalist not revealing their sources meant people could whistle-blow without the consequences that would flow from that if their identity was disclosed. This meant information got into the press that would otherwise not. It wasn’t perfect, because people with an agenda could exploit it, but the public could read the article and accept that the source was genuine, even if the motives of the source were not.

These days, given the cesspit that sports journalism has descended into in an unedifying chase for clicks, I think most of these quotes we see are completely made up. My default position is that everything these cunts say is rooted in running a particular click-driven narrative and they will do anything, including making quotes up, to support that narrative.

So now, whenever I see an anonymous quote from a sport journalist, I simply assume it’s made up, and discount it, which is the only sensible and logical approach to follow.

Without a doubt I'd posit. It's similar to Rui Pinto getting caught trying to blackmail Doyen Sports and then claiming he's just a whistle-blower. People will say or do anything that furthers their interest and morals be damned.

There’s a lot of evidence ;)

Maybe Pep thinks he answered them?

I think Pep knew what he was going to say, irrespective of what the particular questions were, because he knew what the tenor of the questions was going to be and had things he wanted to say.

I’m not sure that directly answering a question that one of these cunts asks him is that important to him.

I've seen plenty of whiners on Twitter claim that we're very defensive about this...

Beggars belief how dumb people are nowadays.

The vast majority of the media, other clubs’ fans and the Premier League itself are going to look like a right bunch of mugs when hearsay and stolen out of context emails come up against provable facts delivered by a top lawyer.

Not that they’ll ever admit it.

Kevin Parker on sky live from the ground saying titles etc not tainted. Firstly make your mind up and secondly you should have told sky to do one. Why would any City fan want to give them any time when they are one of main agenda culprits

Biggerbluethaneveryoneitis I believe.
