I feel Jordan has always consciously (barely) stayed the right side of the line. I would say saying he thinks ‘there is a case to answer’ isn’t in quite the same place as ‘the accounts don’t add up‘ (Carragher).City probably don't want to do this - but they have no alternative. They know that any exoneration or wrist slap, will bring the usual pond slimes out with the "gotaway", "expensive lawyers", "bought off" jibes - as we've had since cas cleared us.
Would be lovely to see Mrs Malaprop, Jordan in court.
i think jordan thought talksport would protect him and is just now realising that a pathetic little radio station who employs youtubers and washed up pros who cant get a decent job doesnt have the clout he thought it did.Too late for Jordan, he has let his mouth cost him big time.
He may be super confident for no other reason than he trusts Khaldoon’s word.
He's certainly been more circumspect. Perhaps the occaisional lapse into "falsley inflating the market", territory. Definitely a lot of "sovereign state" - but I imagine contesting that won't be a priority - too complex and intrusiveley indicreet.I feel Jordan has always consciously (barely) stayed the right side of the line.

CheersNo one knows how this will go from the outside but look at the mood music that’s out there. If City’s execs did what they did in mass industrial strength fraud surely this is a criminal matter and the top people in the company would be seeing inside of a court room. Our COO over much of this period City are accused of is soon to be the new CEO of United. It would be extremely negligent of United to hire someone as CEO who could be implicated in a criminal investigation, if City were up to it Omar Barata knows where all the bodies are buried.
Do City look like a club preparing for life in the national league? You don’t go ahead with spending £300 million on a new stand and hotel, Mansour has money but he won’t throw it away paying for things that won’t see a return.
Then you have Etihad floating as a public company, if they didn’t want to see the paper trail of Mansour shoving money in at the other end why would they risk that by going down the PLC route.
The Premier League concluded its investigation in Feb 2023, which included payments to Mancini from a football club in the UAE. Mancini himself after the charges were made highlighted that no one had been in contact with him asking about how he was paid. Why haven’t the PL asked Mancini about how he was financially compensated as he would be a key witness in that aspect?
….of which none was paid by those offshore companies MUFC and LFC
