PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

This exposes a wider point around sports journalists and their sources. Historically, when it was a profession which operated under an ethical code of sorts, when a journalist quoted an anonymous source, it was reasonable to conclude that it was bona fide. These sources served a genuine purpose, as it meant people with inside knowledge of a given situation could provide a degree of insight without revealing their identity. The sanctity of a journalist not revealing their sources meant people could whistle-blow without the consequences that would flow from that if their identity was disclosed. This meant information got into the press that would otherwise not. It wasn’t perfect, because people with an agenda could exploit it, but the public could read the article and accept that the source was genuine, even if the motives of the source were not.

These days, given the cesspit that sports journalism has descended into in an unedifying chase for clicks, I think most of these quotes we see are completely made up. My default position is that everything these cunts say is rooted in running a particular click-driven narrative and they will do anything, including making quotes up, to support that narrative.

So now, whenever I see an anonymous quote from a sport journalist, I simply assume it’s made up, and discount it, which is the only sensible and logical approach to follow.

Without a doubt I'd posit. It's similar to Rui Pinto getting caught trying to blackmail Doyen Sports and then claiming he's just a whistle-blower. People will say or do anything that furthers their interest and morals be damned.

Maybe Pep thinks he answered them?

I think Pep knew what he was going to say, irrespective of what the particular questions were, because he knew what the tenor of the questions was going to be and had things he wanted to say.

I’m not sure that directly answering a question that one of these cunts asks him is that important to him.

Arsenal 'in multi-million tax dodge'

The high-profile divorce of Arsenal star Ray Parlour has exposed a multi-million-pound tax dodge at the country's top football club, it was reported last night.

i asked last night if someone can get this in front of the club or media or can someone get this on Martin Keown’s twitter page? It’s basically Arsenal doing on an industrial scale what we are alleged to have done for Mancini . @Ric

Keown was part of the so called invincible team when this was going on and yesterday talked up the City “scandal”

The PL's FFP rules are part of the PL's rules, not surprisngly. So if she actually said that, she is an idiot.

The FFP rules actually came out a couple of years after UEFA'S own FFP rules so the majority of the charges fall outside of the Premier League FFP laws surely.
 
Just looked at Daniel Levy connections.
He is on the board of the ECA (European Club Association) whos Chair is Nasser Al-Khelaifi and comes far Qatar. He owns PSG and did have talks with Levy, apparently, re investment in Spurs. When Martin Edwards left his seat on the ECA board, both Levy and our own Ferran Soriano applied for the seat. Levy got it, with the backing of, Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal. There's a surprise. At one time he was on the UEFA Professional Football Strategy Council, not sure if he still is.
 
Not watching Sky. Don’t mind Neville or Keane but the repugnant Harris!

I do hope if their paths are crossing that Mr Richards is acting like an ex City player / supporter should be.
