Oh I think Tolmie was definitely inundated with questions & comments. Just like Stefan is

I'm not sure they received anywhere near the same sort of response, there's calls for @Nicholas van Whatsisface to be banned for wumming, although not entirely convinced that post wasn't a WUM in itself but from the sort of responses he's received in light of his information it's plausible not to be.

I’ve got no interest in creating melodrama for attention.

I’ve been on here for 17 years, and have no history of winding people up for fun.

I posted something that I heard directly which indicated the general view of some relatively senior people at the PL towards our case.

Nothing more. We didn’t get into a deep dive on any of it - but their position was one of bullish confidence.

There could be any number of reasons for their taking this position, and I’m not suggesting these people would be intimately involved in the case.

But if the result has already landed, and is known at the PL - I would expect them to know the general direction, if not the detail.

Take it or leave it.

You've handled it well mate. You haven't posted a bombshell then vanished. You've told us what you heard and then stayed here to back it up.

I’m leaving it as I find it impossible to believe nothing has been broke in the msm.
Horseshit or bullshit your choice Blues.

Oh I don’t think anyone seriously thinks he should be banned

tbf dave what has he backed up? Im not trying to get at nicholas but what he has said doesnt amount to anything as i keep on saying if the daily mail or sun said the same thing everybody would laugh at such nonsense, without context to the claim its just more noise. I could say exactly the opposite as like yourself im privvy to pieces of information every now and again but without context it means nothing.

A couple of questions, did they know you are a City fan and why didn't you ask them for a few more details?
 
Nicholas van Whatsisface said:
Not at all mate.

It’s fine to ask.

But it’s also fine for me to say No.

I’m confident that, based on the level of detail I’ve provided - I’m ok.

That’s my judgement.

It may be proven to be wrong, but I’m comfortable with it as it stands.

What did they say or do to make you feel they were confident that City’s position held no credibility whatsoever?

Don’t name them. Don’t say where you were. Don’t say what position they hold. Don’t say anything identifiable.

But do say what they said or did to conclude they believe City’s position is without any credibility.
You’ve already posted it without fear of being identifiable, so simply add a little salt to the bread and explain what they said please.

Asking questions is fine. Demanding answers, or calling him a liar, is not.

I don’t think anyone thinks he has lied. But it’s such a HUGE statement to make surely he didn’t think there would be no response?? The responsibility to decide whether a poster posts such a statement rests entirely with the poster - who MUST consider what sort of response it would get. Even more important when it states that the info came from SENIOR PL people.
Ask yourself - do I post that or not???
 
Be interesting to see if any "exclusives" start to pop up on our face book walls in the next hour or so,,,,,,,,, yer know these know fuk all journos from the host of shit sites on there......
 
Coming after a blue calling him a liar and fishing for a ban is stupid, all he did was relay what he knows. Thousands of interactions and been around since 2007, what reason would he have to make shit up?

I don't like the idea of what he said either, but it doesn't make it false. If coming after fellow blues because there potential info we don't like is the norm then buckle the fuck up bevause it could get very messy on here.
 
Just in light of the post, I'd be interested to know if @slbsn has had any information that the club are in receipt of the verdict or otherwise? I know the last we heard was definitely not - as of last Friday PM - has anything changed with that regard?
 
Having been in corporate litigation for 25+ years, I would be pretty surprised if the PL (or City, for that matter) wasn't being bullish about their chances of winning right up to the moment they got the decision. In most cases, you don't fight a fight like this and not become something of a true believer. And with the "political" nature of both the PL and this particular dispute, I think that's only more likely to be true.

I think the most important kernel from @Nicholas van Whatsisface is that the PL still doesn't know anything. We've been told no one will know until it actually drops, and this seems to me to be further indication of that being the case.

Tbh mate if pl executives are openly gloating about the potential demise of one of their member clubs to people they dont know at a corporate event and by implication calling members of a foreign royal family, the chinese government and several world class businessman and prominent members of the sports world are frauds to a complete stranger maybe those people dont derserve to have said jobs.

I was more referring to the person our end sharing info - don't want them to get into trouble for sharing too much on a football forum. Don't care about PL execs if they're running their mouths off.

He's being held hostage in the TalkSport studio's utility room until further notice.

Can I ask you a fair question?

Where was you when you got told this? Was you part of the group talking or did you get a text saying hey guess what!

I just feel you should put some meat on the bones which could stop posters like myself asking these questions.

To put that post on you have to be ready for the barrage of questions and hopefully reply with answers that could explain.

I don't think you are wumming, I think it's nonsense that pl execs would be so flippant about something as huge as this case.
