I’m gonna back out of the thread for the evening.
Waiting for these twitter links to open is pretty bad tooMe too. Too stressful :-)
A bit like Hitler asking Churchill, " or come on mate just let me know when D-Day is and where you plan to attack" !!!!I think its an absolute certainty that the PL will say "City were not cooperative in our investigation, nevertheless, we cannot find wrongdoing". Or something to that effect. They will bad mouth us to the press that we were less than cooperative. Which would give ammunition to all the pundits, the Red Cartel and that **** Javier Tebas that the investigation was somehow "hindered". Nevertheless, we emerge with the victory. That's what I think is going to happen.
But honestly - why would we cooperate with these fools? They're in the bag for United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Why would we cooperate unless we were forced to do so in court?
In the APT case Sky and the BBC reported the PR spin from the PL as fact and totally ignored the Judges’ damning statement which stated the PL acted unlawfully and unfairly. They reported the case without mentioning the actual verdict.
Can't expect anything different from a bunch of disingenuous bunch of cunts.In the APT case Sky and the BBC reported the PR spin from the PL as fact and totally ignored the Judges’ damning statement which stated the PL acted unlawfully and unfairly.

Love Tom Jones version.of that songI believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I agree. I think City now know the outcome, at least in outline if not in detail.It’ll all be happening soon enough, emails like this don’t get sent out unless they’ve been given the nod it’s imminent, imo. We all know what it’s like receiving many emails, just like proverbial chip paper they slip down your inbox/become a relatively distant memory the following day etc.
Appeal ? It’s the majority who have insisted isn’t it that the charges were forced this way ? So why haven’t Chelsea , the dippers with their fantasy non existent stadium redevelopment pulled on similar? Or is this really to do with Pinto hacking our emails and showing them to any **** that would listen that we are “dodgy cunts?”So all the clubs can gang up and do what exactly?
No one outside this forum seems to understand the charges, not just Sky's pundits.None of Sky's pundits understand the charges. For the past few years, they've been free to say whatever they want. We're approaching crunch time now though, so this is them saying, "Shut the fuck up; you can't keep doing what you've been doing for the past few years or we could get sued." I wouldn't read much more into it than that.
Don't forget that 50% of the time these red wanker pundits have a director in their earpiece telling them what to say.None of Sky's pundits understand the charges.

I’m not so sure. Masters and his pals have wasted £20m plus of clubs’ money on a vindictive witch-hunt driven by a small corrupt clique. The PL leadership team can’t survive a defeat.You're probably right. I just think if things have gone our way (fingers crossed) then there can be decent pr for the PL if they do things right.
Follow up what I put with something like "We have a duty to ensure fairness in our competition and the fact we have spent so much time and money investigating this issue, due to the concerns of our members, shows how seriously we take the matter. Now the rumours can be laid to rest, and we know we run a fair competition, with no need for an independent regulator, etc .."
Perfect world and all that I guess...
I would have thought everyone wants this gone now. It's been dominating football headlines for far too long, and to the extent that the previous and current governments have lost confidence in football's ability to govern itself in this country.Force the PL to appeal, presumably. I imagine there’d be a fair few clubs reluctant to waste any more money on this though.

yeah that's a very good point i would prefer a full exoneration put it all to bed even though you know rival fans will say we bought are way out and i know how you feel it's not doing me any good constantly refreshingThat’s fair comment mate, but thing is, I haven’t always thought that, hence my reaction tonight. I mean I knew it was a possibility, but based on our Chairman wanting and expecting a full exoneration, I thought is also a possibility we’d be fully cleared. I believed him.
Anyway, it’s not doing me any good staying on this thread tonight.
