PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bobbyowenquiff]

But on the other hand, he's left this and many other of his tweets cryptic, vague and open for interpretation. The only thing (to my knowledge) he's posted which is unequivocal and actual information which has came from the club direct is that they are confident in their position - like they've told us from the offset anyway.

Not having a go at tolm, I've posted similar on here before about his posts. I love his transfer spec, it's fun and games - but when it's an issue as serious as this and he's heard developments it'd be good to know exactly what they are and not necessarily out his source but tell us if the information is matter of opinion/confidence or genuine inside knowledge of facts.

This post sounds arsey, it isn't meant to be. Genuinely enjoy following tolmie and think him revealing his own personal identity was much to his credit. I'd love him back on the "it's quiet" threads too. It's just, these vague, cryptic, posts when it's an issue so serious only frustrates me to some extent. I realise that's just my opinion and others may still enjoy the cryptic nature of his posts on this subject too.

It isn't always possible to publish details if you are told something confidental and off the record. The last thing City would want to do is to be seen to leak information because our lawyers have persistenty attacked UEFA and now the PL for leaking information out. The PL leadership have made some big blunders in recent years because detailed information from investigations and legal cases has been leaked to the media by some Club Directors. It has had so much detail that it could only have come from people at the very top of the PL. Some of it has been so obvious it has even made it easy to identify the source. This has made the PL (and UEFA) look stupid and has undermined their own case.

No idea what this means or how to interpret it.

Well, it means something spectacular, that will be remembered for a very long time.

So, either we are cleared and lots of murky stuff is unveiled from elsewhere, or we’re fucked as the case was so overwhelming.

I’d suggest the former.

Given who posted it I'd guess at the former 100% myself, he's a Blue so any other interpretation makes no sense whatsoever. There's some delicate flowers on here at times.

All you can glean from that tweet is that there will be a huge reaction when the judgement is released. Well yes. whichever way it goes BM will go down under immense pressure and fans of all clubs will be offering their takes on all platforms. It is the biggest football story for years and judgement day (& long after) will be enormous.

Stone and Roan spent five years asking about "sportswashing" but that angle has been quietly dropped now it has become clear that "sportswashing" is just a fake slogan created by PR people trying to promote the campaigns of some human rights groups. The so-called 115 charges (which are essentially five broad allegations) are also a fake construct created by PR people acting for the PL in an attempt to damage City's reputation. What questions will they ask Pep when the trumped up charges are dismissed?

It will go back to Sportswashing and human right abuses in UAE. We’ll never win them over.

I understand your point and the consequences of leaks. But I also understand that as he is fairly new to twitter/x although been involved in journalism for a very long time, there's maybe perhaps an opportunity to build a reputation beyond what's held on Bluemoon.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the posts are so vague that the only purpose which they are serving is to get people talking, tying in with the point I made about building reputation.

If this hearing is as watertight as it's made out to be which by all accounts it is, I'd have doubts as to how far down any information would filter. I suspect only a very very small, select group of people who are very high up at the club will know.

It won’t go back to “not in my lifetime.”

You should see Rawk. They make Redcafe look like University Challenge.
