Kaveh Solhekol reporting on SSN one board member at one of the 6 clubs ‘didnt even know’ they had signed up and spent some time trying to contact the clubs owner. Hmmm i wonder who

He's been reporting like a dog with two d*cks with his "senior exec told me this" sauces.

Least we know why we declined the offer now

 

[Chris B]

wasn't aware we were in debt.

Every trading organisation is in debt: companies owe money to employees, the tax man, suppliers.

City owe money for transfers and a lease on the stadium. This is less than the amounts city are owed from others for transfers, sponsorship, tv, etc.

It’s the net position that matters and city have nothing to worry about on that front, unlike a lot of the others.

 

[I'm Blue]

Probably spurs

Probably bollocks.

The ESL was intended though as a rival to the Champions League and to be run in parallel with the Premier League and other clubs. Many have made the point before that the Champions League is becoming a super league and that it damages the Premier League by rocket fueling those clubs who are in it, hence we get a Sky 4.

The ESL that was mooted would have given City a lot of money. I am slightly worried that we accepted entrance to it. One theory was that it was a rope-a-dope, a tactic to get Man Utd and Liverpool to show their hand, launch it, and then shoot them down, or it was straightforward greed. Both are possible.

I'd accept us being punished, in line with the other 5 clubs, if we've broken a current rule. If that's a UEFA rule then it's UEFA punishment, if it's a Premier League rule then it's a PL punishment. For it to be acceptable, it would have to be across the board and 'fit the crime'. What would be totally unacceptable, for any of the clubs, is that they invented a retrospective rule and punished us under that or that it was a revenge punishment.

Hang on, there's a howling mob of self-identified victims here and they want acknowledgement of their high moral standing and a grovelling apology and they want it all now. Fuck explanations.

And there’s posters like you, who resort to insulting people who have genuine concerns and hate the way the club have acted.
We were part of a scheme that could have literally destroyed football. What on earth do you expect the reaction to be to that?

I think I’ll join you on your perch

I'm volunteering for some punishment on behalf of City given by a six foot twenty something blonde goddess, like a young Heidi Klum, that should do.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Just seen the apologises from both red yank clubs - what a crock of total bullshit

PR ham at its mature finest

It’s more then the silence that we currently have

Can anyone point me in the direction of when the news broke that the other PL clubs specifically name United, Arsenal & Liverpool for being the main instigators..

Martin Samuel wrote an article that named Pérez as the CEO, and Joel Glazer, John Henry and Stan Kronke as the Vice Chairmen.
