Should we now go after the papers?

[King KdB of Belgium]

Now that CAS have come out and said that we are exonerated. Apart from failing fully to comply with what UEFA wanted. Should the board now go after the papers like Der Speigel that said we are guilty of failing FFP and other things. The other is shall we just let it be and call it quits.

For me I would go after the papers and get as much money out of them as we can. After all the more money we can get from them the more money we will have to spend on players. This will then help us with our FFP

I think first off wait for the full verdict and read what it says. Then select targets carefully - individuals would be the best - if Roan said something that is demonstrably incorrect then sue HIM not the BBC. If a journo writing for a paper does the same do the same back - put the fear of god up journalists and just for the giggles pick your targets and serve papers on them all first thing on the same morning in dawn raids.

No. They would love it if we did.

Little old Miguel Delaney being hunted by HUNGRY OIL DRIPPING MAN PETRO STATE CITY, it would fit right into their remit. Let the piss keep boiling whilst we win trophies and play the best football this country has seen.

I watched Sky's football show this morning (for the first time - no contest with Ken Bruce). The Liverpudlian guy Stephen, whoever he is, is presumably getting paid for his "contribution" but he was clearly ignorant of the CAS judgement. He said, more or less, that City had been found guilty of breaking the rules but the penalty had been reduced. The anchorman guy, whoever he is, then read out the exact wording of the CAS verdict and you could see an extremely dull light bulb flickering in Stephen Whoever's head that he'd just made an arse of himself. However, I can live with people who are clearly not the sharpest knives in the box, even though paying them seems questionable when they demonstrate a grasp of the subject slightly less than that possessed by the average Fresian cow. What I did find appalling was the Roan piece. I went to the BBC site just to get an impartial view and found Roan's bitter load of bollox.

I usually let journalists' pearls of wisdom wash over me but Roan this morning was an utter disgrace. City are not going to be suing any journalists. But I hope they let the BBC know that they and the club's relationship with them will be severely jeopardised if there is any more of this crap. You would have thought the BBC would have learned from Fergie's 8 year ban on talking to them, but obviously not.

Of course, people like Roan are deeply annoyed that the reams of copy they had prepared about the demise of City have been an utter waste of time. So I suppose we can have a laugh about that at their expense.

The line must be drawn here ( as Captain Picard said) Whatever the rats said in the past is gone but any more shite from this point on and we should be on them like dippers on a giro.

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

I think we should get legally worded letters sent to the biggest offenders asking for clarification of certain things they've written over the last year and then do nothing - just leave them stewing about if there is any further action pending. Maybe also just pick one - whoever has been the most stupid and unguarded about what they've put in print and fuck them properly through the courts as a warning/example. Not that I'm vindictive you understand.
