PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Mr Fraser]

It is odd ,I agree, but then at the same time I don't think Masters is anywhere near smart enough to have used that word deliberately. More likely he's just a bit clueless as to how to answer the question put to him and that happened to be the word he chose which loads of us are now reading too much into.

Realise I've posted a couple of fairly negative posts on here today in terms of not getting over excited. Hopefully something concrete comes out soon and it turns out there is something to the multiple pieces of noise, but right now imo that's all it is.

I share your cynicism but think masters is dim enough to use incautious language to indicate what may be happening. Unless the rumours are verified we will just have to wait

The outcome appears to be either imminent as the PL case is on the verge of collapse or about a year away based on a hearing in October / November (as per Martin Lipton a few days ago).

Not much difference eh?

'I'm told' lol.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Who is this fuckin lassel? All I see from him is negative shite. Not seen one post from him that bigs us up in any way shape or form.
But I bet if you pull him he'll quote verse and chapter that he's the biggest fan and supported us the longest.

His posts fuck me right off.

He’s a bit of a **** but to be fair I don’t think he can help it

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

It’s got RAWK rattled.

That said though, anything can be said online and gain legs. Let’s wait for the official line to come out.

'I'm told' lol.

The empty words of a know nowt grasping at straws

 

[pavelsrnicek]

'I'm told' lol.

Depends who told him a source at the Premier League or a source at City…

‘Good evening, this is Clive Myrie on BBC 6 o’clock news, we start with the breaking news about the complete exoneration and dropping of all alleged charges against magnificent Manchester City football club by the premier league. To get the latest we go live to Dan Roan who is outside the magnificent Manchester City Etihad stadium. Dan, what does this all mean?’

‘Clive, you bluenose bastard, it means that City have done nothing wrong, and I’ve been telling lies for over 10 years about them, and now I’ve got this fucking letter <waves piece of paper> saying see you in court, signed Khaldoon, and I’ve got an appointment 1st thing tomorrow with the director general about why as head of sport I’ve had , in his words, ‘my head up my ass’ reporting on City. You can wipe that stupid grin off your face Clive!’

‘Well thanks Dan, I think you’ve said it all, and ill see you at your leaving wake tomorrow lunchtime, in other news there has been reports of mass piss boiling taking place in a diverse range of cities and countries, Liverpool, Most of London and the Home Counties, Ireland and
most of Scandinavia are suffering from localised tsunami’s of piss running through the streets… still never mind hey!’

Ha ha ha our Clive has just thrown a right wobbler about the weather!

I remember reading it at the time and it stood out as strange way to put it. However it could just be a mistake in phrasing and nothing else. He’s under pressure masters from all corners. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just an ill thought out response.

My first thought, as well, was that he is just hopeless and couldn't think of an appropriate answer quickly enough. Then again, he must have been prepared for the question unless he is absolutely hopeless.

 

[Salford in the City]

Ah, Mailonline have stated the charges haven't been dropped.

Relieved it's all been sorted now!

Maybe. But there was more than one telling thing in a pretty short sentence - I wouldn't have said 'near future' either if there was going to be a hearing in the Autumn and then a lengthy period of deliberation. I think it was a 'dark arts' media statement to start the ball rolling on lower expectations among the frothers. I think they are carefully managing their 'clusterfuck exit strategy' but could be wrong...

dropped and resolved aren't the same thing :-)

I mean I’ve been on the other side of the world for a month so thought maybe I’d missed something but as you say, just social media nonsense.

The only thing I would say is even 1% relevant is Galassi due to his board position but unfortunately the number of people involved in the process within the club will be in the single digits and he certainly won’t be one of them so his confidence will derive from his colleagues telling him they’ve done nothing wrong.

You should have stayed there,,,

 

[There is a Light]

Can someone DM Nick Harris on Twitter and ask him to unblock me? I sense another public mental breakdown must be on the cards and I don’t want to miss it.

 

[There is a Light]

There’s a rumour flying around that Mike Keegan’s an absolute ****. Told this is 100% true.

Oh FFS

You made me look... This made my day...

"go back to the EFL, taking all the money with us. If Liverpool, Utd & Arsenal walked away from the Premier League, that's the TV money gone too, the rest of the PL would jump ship like the rats they are."

Delusional, la.

Not sure that's a "rumour".

Yep, meant to be hush hush but I’ve had the word mate.
