Mainly because its his opinion and he hasn't stated it as fact. He has been quite clever with his wording, its a dig with no way of it putting him in to trouble
Look, I might not get anywhere but I'm not sitting back and letting it slide.
He joined in the debate on this thread a number of pages back when Presuming Ed was being taken to task. His website is still the same, just not updated since August. I guess he must be busy with his day job :)I'm With Stupid said:If nothing else, it will hopefully at least make sure he isn't asked for his opinion again. What happened to the Swiss Ramble btw?

"Presuming Ed". Brilliant.
Always a gold star for a gratuitous Withnail reference, even though 99.9% will have missed it.
I once put "His head must weigh 50lbs on it's own" when I saw a picture of Negredo and not a single one of these philistines got it.
unlike ed(case). if there's anyone on this forum with substantial business interests with his bank (HSBC?) they should complain too.strongbowholic said:He joined in the debate on this thread a number of pages back when Presuming Ed was being taken to task.

Can't we give him the figures etc when the financial report for the year is released and ask him to Sherlock his way into finding out where this creative accountancy lies? Or is he not up to the task, with him being a bit of a lemon on the things he professes to know about.Matty said:The Flash said:Ed Thompson, soon to be eating the world's biggest slice of humble pie, with lashings of revenge sauce, in a very, very cold dish.

Now make sure you finish ALL of it, Ed.
The thing is, he won't. He'll just claim, as he's already trying, that City have done some sort of "creative accountancy" to include revenue in this years accounts that shouldn't really be there. He's got a history of never admitting his wrong, even when he's force-fed the facts to prove he's wrong, this will be no exception.
But apart from that he's spot on...laserblue said:Ed Thompson, the FFP commentator and analyst, said: ‘It could be that they have taken out a mortgage against one year’s advance match day income. It is certainly a baffling figure.’
This sums up Ed Thompson in a nutshell. Everything he says when stating as a fact that City will fail FFP is based on flawed knowledge, misinformation, incorrect assumptions, nonsensical conclusions, wild conjecture, unrepentant bullshit and an overriding compulsion to put the boot in on our club. He was exposed as the total fucking charlatan he is on here particularly by Prestwich Blue and aguero93:20.
