King Monkey ? Emeperor Shit Gibbon more like, the tuneless paranoid twat
I know for a fact that a well-known journalist at one of the so-called 'quality' papers was handed a dossier showing incontrovertible evidence of corruption at PGMOL and wouldn't publish it.
They've all got their snouts in the trough and if you upset the apple cart the trough runs dry.
That would have been the biggest story of many year, possibly a journalists career and the journalist would be looking at awards for bringing light on to such a thing.
Afraid i find it very hard to believe any journalist would turn such a story down just because they may not like City.

You can't think of any reason why they wouldn't have run the story?That would have been the biggest story of many year, possibly a journalists career and the journalist would be looking at awards for bringing light on to such a thing.

It's called shooting your bolt. They literally have nothing else to run with until at least the panel members are announced (if they are).Who or what would/could have stopped all the hysteria in the press about the PL charges? It's gone incredibly quiet.

Nothing to do with not liking City. It was around 10 years ago for a start so well before the Pep era. I think it was just before we won the first PL title in 2012.That would have been the biggest story of many year, possibly a journalists career and the journalist would be looking at awards for bringing light on to such a thing.

Maybe he was warned off, as most journalists were by Abramovich. Don't forget that the FA/PL successfully hushed up criminal behaviour by Liverpool, over the illegal access to our data.

I know there will be City fans who will believe in a huge conspiracy against us.
If a journalist/s had evidence of huge corruption at the PL, pgmol etc they would absolutely run with it. It would be the biggest football story this country has seen.
As it is these conspiracies are confined to fan football sites and twitter because no actual evidence exists.

So why not give it to foreign newspapers to break the story? it would be huge global news surely.I know for a fact that a well-known journalist at one of the so-called 'quality' papers was handed a dossier showing incontrovertible evidence of corruption at PGMOL and wouldn't publish it.

I don't know many who believe there is a huge conspiracy by all referees against City. This is an issue which affects lots of clubs and is probably driven by betting markets. I don't believe for one minute that everyone at PGMOL is corrupt but I am certain there have been individual instances of corruption. What Mark Halsey has said publically confirms that. Corruption exists in most facets of life in this country (and probably everywhere else). Where there is big money there is usually wrongdoing. Why should football be any different?I know there will be City fans who will believe in a huge conspiracy against us.

If the evidence is inconvertrible why hasn't it appeared anywhere?
If it exists then the only reason must be that the 'owner's wants their own pay day/pay off.
Otherwise theres this thing called t'internet which might be handy.
