But what are tge PL risking? I think their risk was greater by doing nothing.You think this is all down to that?
If it was you think the PL would risk so much?
I hope your right!
Too busy hiding the match fixing ;)We have made huge strides in to Asia but again in those markets people are not interested in the allegations.
Or appropriately sized global sponsors still recovering from effects of covid or now a war in europe before sounding £50 Mill a year on cityPossibly, but it won't be a UK or European sponsor, more likely a global sponsor, I imagine (you said it's particularly damaging for UK and European sponsors unless I am mistaken?).
You could be right, though, global sponsors could be waiting for an outcome before committing to a major sponsorship for ten years.
I probably would unless I had a very good relationship with Mansour/Khaldoon. And if I did, I wouldn't be on here talking to you lot :)
Part of the culture here, so nothing to see!Too busy hiding the match fixing ;)
100% they need us, I simply can't believe they are just doing what they are told by the red tops, only time will tell.But what are tge PL risking? I think their risk was greater by doing nothing.
I really can't see how them losing the case is damaging, surely they hold hands up and confess to doing all they can. No cooperation fine accepted by City only on proviso it is publicly stated by PL why given, and not a sign of guilt.
I personally feel city are now as important to PL as tge red tops given our growth and status.
Is city searching for a new sponsor common knowledge? I've never seen that mentioned previously.Lack of a new shirt sponsor for one, despite an extensive search.
You would not think companies would be fighting to have their name on our shirts after the last decade?
Mention our name anywhere in the UK/Europe I would guarantee a majority would think of Pep, Aguero, Haaland and dodgy dealings, a oversimplification but hopefully you get my point.Possibly, but it won't be a UK or European sponsor, more likely a global sponsor, I imagine (you said it's particularly damaging for UK and European sponsors unless I am mistaken?).

After all, I think that few people when taking a decision with ramifications that interest many people want to find that decision widely and publicly lambasted. And a decision on the part of the PL to decline to charge City would have been met with vituperative condemnation from the usual suspects and, most likely, from far wider quarters than that.
Sorry I meant to make it clearer I was referring to our support volume not their personal maturity.I am an old fan and am yet to mature

Like yourself I am of an older vintage and am still not able to see our management and field success as real and not just a flash in the pan.
