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.

This is because he's an idiot.

Indeed, however he's an idiot who the media treat as some kind of FFP savant.

the daily mail might have a different opinion, they've emailed back on my point of his insinuation about loan capital/income being glaringly obvious to anyone with basic financial knowledge, could be embarrassing for them.

 

[BoyBlue_1985]

He's a self proclaimed expert that was schooled by someone who actually knew what he was talking about when he came on here.
Like then, he doesn't have the backbone to admit he's wrong so he comes out with sly comments like "baffling figure"
I hope the club take him to task on this, I'm sick of hearing bitter little poltroons like him have digs at us in the press. The ill informed bollocks he's spouting is damaging, and will be reported as fact by the red tops.
Time for our lawyers to earn their money.

Thats what id love to see, our lawyers and experts to just disgrace this guy publicly for the fraud he is. He showed himself for what he is on here, but unfortuately all the outside pubic and media lap his lies up. He knows now he will be wrong about City meeting FFP, so he is now resorting to this to keep some kind of face.

no they fucking won't. I've complained to the daily mail and highlighted it as a possible libel issue, I've also told them I'm going to report them to press regulation and the club and I'm in the process of drafting those two e-mails atm. that **** is going to retract that, no self proclaimed 'ffp expert' is slandering my club in print and getting away with it.

I dont think you have much to go on with the complaint mate. 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

That Ed Thompson cock womble has a little say in the dailymail that we have cashed in next seasons season tickets to make up our match day revenue

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.’

It's a baffling figure to you, Ed, because you have absolutely no idea what your looking at and talking about. You're an insurance salesman for HSBC, stick to what you know you deluded rag.

The most baffling figure at the moment, and this should really concern you, is the £37m your beloved MUFC are paying for Mata.

My mother sells loans and insurance for Barclays. If she set up a website and started lecturing about FFP, would anybody listen to her? Would they fuck.

no they fucking won't. I've complained to the daily mail and highlighted it as a possible libel issue, I've also told them I'm going to report them to press regulation and the club and I'm in the process of drafting those two e-mails atm. that **** is going to retract that, no self proclaimed 'ffp expert' is slandering my club in print and getting away with it.

I dont think you have much to go on with the complaint mate. 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

my complaint is in two parts. one that they've consulted a financial expert with no knowledge who's exposed himself as such with his comments (income is only income in the reporting period in which it is earned, loan capital is not income) the other is that he has insinuated/suggested that the club have violated UK GAAP, UK law, EU directives and IASB standards by deliberately including loan capital as income, which would be fraudulent financial reporting, a very serious crime and if his insinuation cannot be proved as fact, than putting it into print in a national newspaper is libel under UK law and since he's proclaimed himself as a financial expert, he cannot claim ignorance as a defence.
Look, I might not get anywhere but I'm not sitting back and letting it slide.

[Sir peace frog]

I was just about to fire off an email myself,but I haven't got a fucking clue about ffp,so glad you did it,i have got 48p in my piggy bank so I have got some idea about money things.

I got no issue with you having a go and by sounds of it you know your onions. Although he isnt presented as a financial expert but an FFP commentator and analyst.

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.

Well done to aguero93:20 for challenging the Mail for printing the article.

Ed's batty must be very sore at the moment.

Daft ****.

Just take a paracetamol or two and relax in the knowledge that our club is being run properly and professionally, something that I have rarely witnessed in nearly 60 years of following the sport.
