PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Hard disagree.

You are giving it a "hard disagree" or you find it hard to disagree?

I think the poster I quoted was talking bollocks.

Fair enough.

I can imagine the defence counsel would listen to a settlement, even recommend one. But I can't imagine people like Mansour, Pearce and Khaldoon accepting anything that implies any guilt at all.

 

[Coatigan]

He was so 'calm' he failed to counter any of Jordan's anti City bullshit.

You are missing the point.

It is a brief discussion that reaches different levels.

You are one level and Simon has reached you. You only care about innuendo and, in your words, bullshit slinging. There will be plenty like you.

There are a fair few other levels he can't reach. But Stefan can.

The two are targeting a completely different audience.

 

[Coatigan]

Not really much point in Stefan turning up a) because Jordan has a closed mind, and b) nothing has actually changed since he was last in the studio.

Other than, the hearing starting, the location being revealed, the impact of the press knowing about it, the make-up of each side's legal team, an explanation of that structure, its potential cost, the process of reviewing it, what happens in what order and how long it might take, nothing at all has changed.

The league also had Everton and Forest dead to rights, smoking gun and all.

In our case they have probably spent loads and loads of money on a legal team and defense, and if they offered it, it may be along the lines of they would rather get something as opposed to nothing. They could spin it as a victory without spending tons of money and time on a legal team that doesn’t even guarantee a win. It will have been a two year process to just get the tribunal started and finished plus an additional 4 years of investigating. It will have been 6 years and if they lose they will have spent a ton of money with nothing to show for it.

I note that some of their arguments still include Everton, Notts Forest and unbelievably Leicester.
As we know the first 2 admitted rule breaks and L appealed and won so maybe the madia don't mention these differences?
Can only assume they are selective in what they print or read.

Don’t watch the latest Overlap episode if you would like to avoid a head explosion. How they can legally get away with some of the stuff said on there is beyond me. You’ve got some daft scouse cow actually say “because you cheated”, no “alleged” in there nothing. We are also back to being “state-owned”, again, nobody there to correct that comment. It’s all an absolute fucking disgrace.

If the club have done what we are accused of, we will face the consequences (rightly so) but I feel like us fans have already done a 5+ year sentence on this despite it apparently being innocent until proven guilty. This is where the club have failed miserably and let us down. They should have been all over this from day 1…you call us guilty, you call us cheats…you’re getting a letter from our lawyers and if you continue, we will take everything you own. Instead we invite them into the club for press conferences, tea and biscuits.

Nothing wrong with the high road, no matter how annoying it may be for us.

Edit: btw, I don't watch The Overlap because it was shit for morons when it started, it is still shit for morons and it will always be shit for morons.

Usually watch the overlap, when I seen it the headline of the show on YouTube I just thought won't be watching that because we know what the narrative will be and opposing bias jealous bitter fans giving them a voice on this it's only going to be one way!

If it was say the rags getting negative narrative for years with the same smear from the media continually I'd be thinking the same! Fans are in nature bias and will believe any waffle if it's against other clubs especially a club who are winning everything!

Its a show purely aimed at rags, dippers and tarquins. You only have to look at the panel and know whenever it comes to City we know the way it will go. Its no different to reading the ragcaf or rawk.
