PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gaylord du Bois]

I like Kieran Maguire, but Football Insider has become one of the most click-bait sites around. Pretty sure when it started, it had lofty ideals, but it's gone lowest common denominator really quickly.

That £500m include wages, agent fees and transfers, so we're probably not far off that most years anyway.

Not bothered about that. Any shallow victory will do for me.

Fine we can leave things if you want, although I'd just ask if, when you were pointing out how morally bankrupt she is for having a wrongun for a husband, did you at any point consider that a man who sexually assaults women in the workplace probably starts at home and there's every chance she's a victim instead of the co-conspirator you've portrayed her as?

Might be something worth mulling over for the next time the forum wants to discredit a journalist for asking an obviously fair question.

I was doing no such thing.

I was commenting on a take, of perception of hypocrisy.

Not that she isn’t credible. Not that her question isn't valid. Not that she has no right to ask it, or enough credit to ask it. Not any other speculation you have just conjured.

You can't argue the perception. You can argue whether it is relevant. And how that compares to the relevance of the perception her own question is implying.

Once again, it feels like you are bracketing multiple posts by a number here, into something you think I am saying. I don't think I could be any clearer myself, but hopefully the above puts it to bed.

The fact is 61% of the country thinks we should have less of a business relationship with the UAE because of their human rights records.

And while we are at it, that is not really what the poll says, or asks.

The question itself is highly wooly, granted, but portraying that as the conclusion is a little bit duplicitous, is it not? The irony of which in this context is not lost.

Again it's just an ad hom attack on the person asking a valid question because you're uncomfortable with the question being asked.

That's why this woman's husband is even being mentioned, and not the possible crimes of the spouses of every other journalist present. This one asked a question you don't like so you attempt to discredit her.

It just comes across as increibly thin skinned and kind of pathetic that 15 year into the takeover so many fns still can't cope with someone asking a question about the Middle East when it's relevant. What are you so scared of?

Can we get this back on topic ffs?

Apologies, I'll stop. You are totally right.

Not just you mate…

Well I'd left and gone before you dragged me back by replying. If you want an off topic conversation to end, don't call everyone invovled back to the thread, just leave it alone or report it.

We were mocked when we were shit.
Mocked when the Sheikh took us over.
Mocked when we signed Robin.
Mocked when we posted losses of £197 million.
Criticised for replacing looser Hughes for winner Mancini.
Criticised for signing Yaya & Silva....not good enough/too small.
Were everyones second team after the Yaya semi and Aguero 93.20.
And then the penny dropped, the plan was unfolding.
A threat,a challenge, an unwelcome, unwanted long term competitor.
Discredit, demolish, destroy.
The end game is now approaching........BUT NOT FOR US !!

Don’t be so fucking precious, I didn’t call anybody back in. I just got fed up of reading bollocks that had nothing to do with the thread subject.

Do you think 61% of people in the country have the foggiest idea of what human rights are like in the UAE when a sizeable chunk wouldn't even be able to locate it on a map?

So you are saying 61% people have no idea what’s going on in UAE but you somehow do? It’s pretty well know that countries in Middle Easy have questionable human rights records. Thats a fact, not an opinion. All it takes is just looking at their prehistoric laws.
Regarding Tiffin asking the question, it’s very valid. Just because she has a **** of a husband doesn’t make her question less valid. She might be a victim of abuse herself which is often the case when someone is married to an abusive man.
