PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Cobwebcat]

Just saying, Jack Gaughan is one of City's 'go to' journalists. He often fights our corner.

Yes, and until recently, Martin Samuel wrote for the DM, and he was the only objective guy in a sea off subjectivity and ant-city bias.

There's no doubt several journo's trawl this forum for information. Jack Vaughan (aka arctic) was sent my original post by someone else, inference being another journalist, probably in the infamous WhatsApp group.

Plenty of stuff posted on here is lifted by the press, FFP being the most obvious as there are posters on this forum who have a vastly better understanding of its mechanics. This thread is a rich source of data for any media hack who has got little or no understanding of the charges, the potential punishment or the defence the club will present to the panel.

On 25 January, in the "Chelsea fans throwing missiles from South Stand 3rd tier" thread, I posted a long list of security measures that were to be implemented by the Club for the Arsenal FA Cup game, all of which came to fruition. This included the intention of City to erect safety netting for season 23/24, the first Premier League club to take such measures.

2 weeks later, on the 9 February, I give you Mike Keegans "exclusive" in the Daily Fail.

Man City are set to install NETTING around Etihad away end to protect their fans after incidents involving Liverpool - including a 15-year-old girl being 'scarred for life' by a pint cup filled with coins​

• The teenage girl was injured during Man City vs Liverpool Carabao Cup tie
• City are set to introduce netting in away section to prevent items being thrown
• Liverpool have committed to finding the offender who threw a pint cup

I don't understand what the problem is? If posters here educate us all on FFP and the charges etc, don't you also want journalists to be educated?

Like I said, not every journalist at the mail is against City. Tolmie has mentioned that Jack Gaughan is included in some of the briefs by the club.

It all depends on the content of the recordings doesn’t it ? For example, if it’s something on the lines of “give the goal , we are not having Manchester City win this game” then that’s tantamount to curruption , if it’s a recording that just says “give the goal I see nothing wrong” then we wouldn’t have a leg to stand on, as Dodge said , this happened at a recent City away game, and it was plain wrong that that goal at Old Trafford (if it was that game) didn’t go to a onside pitch review of the incident. That decision was disgusting that more than likely cost us a point maybe three.

If the voice is a third party e.g. the match commander that is tantamount to corruption as only the VAR and the ref can make that determination.

Can we make a seperate thread for the supposed VAR recording?

Sleeper Cells?

Didn't know Bluemoon was part of an international underground, terrorist network.

Wouldn't be much point in having them if everyone knew

Now I don’t know if you're genuine or just a sleeper account

I have it on good information that 007 uses bluemoon

That’s the only way we have a smoking gun.

I bet Webb has a burner mobile phone (a new one for every single phone call), he still talks to Ferguson every day.
