I don’t disagree but these morons have a huge platform and the club should have nipped this in the bud early doors. You’ve got Spitty there acting like the Pied Piper and yet within the next few weeks, he will no doubt be welcomed into the Etihad to commentate on a game. It’s all wrong. Theres taking the high ground and then there just plain shooting yourself in the foot.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.
I believe engaging with all that shit would be shooting ourselves in the foot. If our owners dare defend themselves they will be drowned out by the massive media hatred. The media have the bigger and louder voice. Facts and truth are the only way.I don’t disagree but these morons have a huge platform and the club should have nipped this in the bud early doors.

Much of that was known beforehand and, frankly, isn't of interest to TS listeners who don't support City. They only care that things are underway and when City are going to 'get done'. Stefan does not get the airtime he both needs and deserves, so in essence all we are left with is Jordan regurgitating the same bollocks.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.
Not, if as our chairman says, we're totally innocent. We fought UEFA and won, though that wasn't enough for the media and trolls who still label us as cheats. 99% of these cretins are convinced of our guilt in this case. Accepting a settlement would still leave a cloud over us. It's now Armageddon time for us and a chance to once more clear our name.
That’s a possible flagSometimes saying nothing will piss them off more than replying.
To quote a couple of lines from a song called Art School on The Jam's debut album In The City
"And never worry if people laugh at you
The fools only laugh 'cos they envy you"
I’m not advocating Mansour and Khaldoon being sat next to these clowns arguing the toss. I’m talking about our media and/or legal department reminding these lowlifes that City are in fact, at this very moment, innocent.I believe engaging with all that shit would be shooting ourselves in the foot.

You know the second letters went out that the media would accuse us or trying to Act like a dictatorship like (UAE)I’m not advocating Mansour and Khaldoon being sat next to these clowns arguing the toss.

The only thing that really matters is that we clear our name but the idea that we have handled this well from an optics standpoint is nonsense. People come on here in their droves to celebrate a decent, fair and balanced article from the likes of Martin Samuel. Unfortunately, you can probably count those on one hand. The club should have made sure that these “friendly” articles were far more plentiful over recent years. If they had, maybe, just maybe, we wouldn’t be in a position where even if we win the case, the fallout wouldn’t be that we bought off a bent panel, or we won on a time-bar technicality. You know…the exact same fallout from CAS.
