The very rare times I tune in to listen I soon turn off again as it's nothing but adverts interspersed with London centric drivel.

Got it on this afternoon. Some woman on doing the racing called Lizzy Kelly.
Had a google, as you do. I wasn't disappointed. Naughty girl!

I think it was Lizzy Kelly being interviewed at this years Cheltenham Festival by Gina Bryce:

"Lizzy, have you enjoyed this years festival"

"It's been amazing"

"What about not having fans here"

"It's made it so sad"

Not the sharpest tool

Just posted about this on the media thread.

Evans calling city a "Political project" and the other **** saying City are the enemy and should be treated as such.

A Spurs supporter disgruntled that City are supposedly taking their star player?

Who’d’ve thought?

Our defamation lawyers should be asking for a recording of the last few minutes. Sailing very close to the wind … hopefully so close they get turned turtle.
 
Neither the host Danny Kelly nor the tabloid journo, nor the professional Scouser Evans are likely to have said anything actually slanderous in my lay opinion. As Danny Kelly said earlier “we’re just here to state the facts”.

But their selection of out of date facts on which they base their bile-led opinions on is seriously poor broadcasting. Clearly meant to erroneously or, at best, ignorantly lead listeners into further bitterness about us and neutrals into discounting our achievements.

When it comes to things like FFP the “facts” they choose are downright misleading, no longer relevant as they have been superseded and picked merely to pander to the misinformed prejudices of their listenership.

“They (City) were found to be guilty of breaching FFP - and that’s a fact”, said that geordie chump from the Sun.
Well maybe in the distant we were (probably because it was brought in at great haste to stymie us and not helped by UEFA moving the goal posts during the reporting period originally in question and prosecuted back in the early 2010’s.

However, in the recent and most relevant judgement by CAS concerning the following years, it was made clear we did (and to this day) do comply with FFP.

“City can’t be allowed to just go on spending what they like.”

“Otherwise they and PSG will create a two team Europe and a monopoly in the Premier League.
“ (Kelly)

“Sports washing” was again brought up with the political project jibe mentioned earlier by Tony Evans.

It’s all said so you’ll infer City are throwing in as much money as they wish to subsidise our club that according to them doesn’t have the pedigree of their beloved red scouse and by inference the only reason we can afford to buy Kane, Grealish etc.

No mention of the skilled financial husbandry and great youth system that has allowed us to produce the most valuable graduates from our academy to help us afford such transfer fees.

FFP means we can’t put in more than the odd peanut - over and above what we earn - and we haven’t thrown in as much as a bag of KP for the last seven or eight years now.

We are a successfully self- sustaining club and have been for years. We’re just beating those old timer clubs now by thriving and outsmarting our enemies under the very same rules they set up to try to stop us.

Unlucky lads. Best get used to it.

Great summary, when I worked within a corporate environment a few years ago we had a "team" meeting. The Boss kept repeating "KPI's", I was so bored I said to him "you keep mentioning KPI's but what about the KPN's?" He asked me what KPN's were, I said "peanuts", a few sniggers from others but the look on his face said it all, was the beginning of the end for me.

Some places are still using the Transfermarkt figure of 68M for de Bruyne - this is a function of Transfermarkt having a base cost in euros and an on-the-fly £ cost, and the exchange rate having changed since, and isn't a case of Transfemarkt being wrong.
