PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Bald fraud]

For me, it's the fact that, even if the club has done what was alleged, which I don't believe for a minute, the PL don't have access to the evidence to prove it. It will all be in Abu Dhabi. And no-one in AD is double-crossing Mansour. So the club can gather any counter evidence it wants from AD, in the form it wants, and the PL won't have a response. Job done.

Don’t they only have to think we’re “probably” guilty to charge us?

What I find interesting ( but not suprising) is that the attempts made to sensationalise the downside of a verdict against us crowded out any discussion of what happens when we are found not guilty.
The sheer scale and seriousness of the charges requires an investigation as to how a governing body can make accusations without basis . Probably more importantly why would they?.

Stefan should do backing vocals on Ian Brown’s karaoke tour, he has a really good voice.

Becky Anderson on CNN has said she is interviewing Khaldoon this afternoon at Kavos, host of the World Economic Forum…

Well yes, but they have to take into account the counter evidence which will be "irrefutable" in all probability.

If the City fan had gone on T/S and airily said this is all nonsense, there’s nothing to worry about, T/S would have clipped him sounding arrogant.

Hopefully this will all be dealt with by facts and it appears the city fan was dealing in facts. The fair listener will see things for what they are and make their own minds up.

Any PR problems stem from how the club has dealt with this witch hunt I think. We have been far too accommodating to people who despise us.

We're fortunate to have someone as knowledgeable and articulate as Stefan to provide an alternative to much of the nonsense that's been put out by the media regarding our case. Simon Jordan is a rude, obnoxious dickhead though, constantly interjecting and trying to talk over people.

They were always going to find an angle off what he said and run with it. Anyone with any common sense listening to that interview can see its not a simple case. He isn't stupid for saying that as he has to give his professional view on what the outcome could be either way. No point flapping on what TS decide to post. It's not going to have any affect on the case anyway. The masses will still continue to throw mud and want titles stripped but you can be sure that we will defend ourselves rigorously, so no need to give a shit what other fans think. As he said they have to prove mass fraud. Good luck with that.

It was obvious what they would do with those words , clip it for clickbait , fans of other clubs and the media will run with that and not the balanced arguement he put foward , walked straight into it

If you don't point out the possible consequences of a guilty verdict its not a balanced view. You end up coming across just like every other person with an agenda.
