For £20k a day i hope his opening gambit is to tell CAS that UEFA is full of ****s.

Since he was appointed Chief Sports News Correspondent of the Mail on Sunday, at the least, a post he held for years (don't know if he still does). I agree he comes across as an utter twat and it's fair to say I'm not a fan of his output but it's perfectly legitimate to describe him as a journalist.

As for David Pannick, he's very much a class act. At the moment, I'm training a group of Russian lawyers in my firm's dispute resolution practice to develop their skills in terms of arguing a case in spoken and written English (we have a lot of cases that go to international arbitration).

I made them watch Pannick's submission in the Gina Miller case as an example of a master at work. Probably the best in the business, according to people more familiar with the commercial bar than I.

As I said, since when is Haris a journalist... ;-)

Having to hire the best lawyer in the business does set off a few alarm bells for me. If we’re so sure of our defence, why do we need a clever lawyer to present it?

This truly is one of the best posts in all 2100 pages

Whilst I think our main attack will be on the decision I hope we can go after the original ruling though perhaps we cannot re open this unless we attack FFP as a hole. It would be great to get damages and money back from the original fine plus proving that the alleged transgressions would not matter had UEFA not moved the goal post

Just reading Mark McLaughlin owning that dweeb Max Rushden, beautiful reading.

I wonder if he posts on here Mr McLaughlin?

Pulled Rushden's tweets apart brilliantly, how and why the fuck that shithouse has waded in with his bullshit God knows but he's just got owned by Mr Mac.

Mark McLaughlin if you're on these boards, i salute you sir.

Possibly this mate, in all fairness, apart from that, I don't think it's THAT bad apart from the reference

I thought the article was kind of a nothingness. Critical-ish but fair for the most part.

The American libertarian academic Noam Chomsky characterises 5 filters of the modern commercial media:

1. Ownership
2. Advertising
3. Media elite
4. Flak
5. The common enemy

Coverage of City fits this pattern - particularly the flak and common enemy. For flak see the usual suspects all lining up to pen articles criticising the gullible Manchester City fan taken in by their billionaire owner.

I was going to post that you've been added at number 6 but you're a nice guy and I'm a good-hearted sort.

also legal fees, damages to the clubs reputation - and therefore market value

absolutely rinse the fuckers
