PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[supercity88]

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.

It's tough enough to listen to him on the radio, but I had the displeasure of watching on youtube instead and it took everything I had not to punch the screen.

I've listened back just to see if I missed anything initially, and this time didn't watch so my ears were fully engaged! Right at the end, when Stefan is explaining the fact that these accusations would involve a high number of senior executives/board members/official all being part of the conspiracy, Jordan pipes up with "like Enron".

For those that don't know, that is a reference to a major accounting scandal involving widespread fraud. So it was a loaded remark from Jordan.

After trying to convince my few mates about the injustice of FFP ect .I've given up, and now just looking forward to the meltdown, of epic proportions ,when City are exonerated. It will make 93.20, 14 cm (or whatever it was that upset the Dippers) and the Arse meltdowns look like their best day of their lives.

They won't listen. Neither would we. What they will listen to is you saying you love their tears. Enjoy it.

Simon Jordan really needs to learn some social graces. The polite thing to do is to keep your mouth shut for a few minutes and let other people talk. After they are finished then articulate your counter argument.

The producer of the show really should be in his ear telling him to pipe down and let other people talk. I think we would have gotten more interesting information out of Stefan if he was allowed to have the floor. It was interesting that he thought the case would be hard to prove. I was glad to hear that.

When I got into senior management many years ago, I used to apply trick to deal with the sorts of annoying interventions you describe that Jordan was guilty of today.

When discussing or making a point, if I was interrupted, especially rudely so, I'd calmly stop talking. When the 'interruptor' had finished I would say 'If I may interrupt your interruption..' and continue from where I had been speaking.

Sometimes, if I thought it necessary, I'd also give a 'Paddington hard stare' to boot..!

Works every time..

That's exactly what he did do - he said it would require a group of board members and senior executives from a number of different companies all being complicit and he finds it very hard to believe that would ever be the case.

They have clipped it for news bulletins now and are saying that it's too hard to prove amd not that we could be innocent.

They will never replay the part about the amount of people needed to be complicit.

That was my point, they have twisted Stephans words and will just keep using them even if we are found innocent.

What was Jordan actually saying he seemed to make some weird comment about Enron and clearing our name but it was like he wasn’t talking properly or the mic wasn’t working and Stefan was still talking also the link has clearly been cut they said it was half an hour yet it’s like 15 mins long

it was about 15 minutes on city and 15 on everton
he did pass comment but couldnt tell what he said something snidey i guess

To do so would involve a court case on which there would be a lot of he said she said rubbish that would create more problems

Think its time City took this clown to court and forced a court decision of cease and desist upon him:

He’s a complete dick. We all know that the clubs way in was ‘accelerated Investment’ before FFP. They told us so at the time and have repeatedly told us since, we had to do this before the drawbridge was pulled. I don’t believe him when he says he has multiple sources (at the club) telling him we were cooking the books as far back as 2010. And the UEFA settlement was based on breaching FFP, nothing more sinister. He needs a warning shot now!

I don't listen to Jordan at all but fucking hell.

1. Annoying as
2. Sounds like Jonathan Ross
3. He's a legal expert you know XD

Great job Stefan

Why is he wearing the glasses from the old man in Up! ?

What are you doing up at 2am?

The hounds had me up as they wanted to go out.

 

[DD6028]

Liverpool had FFP problems eight years ago which was soon hushed up ha. All teams guilty of it imn sure just some getting picked on

Your last two paragraphs sum things up nicely: you (and lots of us) think XYZ, whereas actually, you (and lots of us) know precisely nothing of what either side has / has not.
Ergo, 3 thousand+ pages of conjecture, caveats and, in some cases, unalloyed bollocks!

That’s Bluemoon at its best. Bollocks R Us.
