UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[hello]

Intake it you're a Brexit/Trump supporter then?

Meanwhile their record on investigative journalism is widely known and respect Ed in the profession of journalism which has ethical standard on such reporting.

Point to a consistent track record of lying or reporting from flimsy sources? The two times I can recall where the Iraq WMD article that was propaganda from Bush's administration and the writer who was found to make up stories. Their standards, if anything, have increased.

Are they without criticism ever? No. But going after their credibility here does not make much sense. What's the angle for them to lie here or portray City poorly, again?

Really don't understand your NY Times fan club, but in 2018 they had to print over 4100 retractions and/or corrections, they published 55k articles, so over 7% of everything they published contained errors.I have very little respect for Journalist's these days but to me an error rate of 7 % is a fucking disgrace, certainly nothing to lauded or place on a pedestal of professional excellence.

Is someone able to provide me with a timestamp between City's statement and New York Times taking out attributing the entire article to a source familiar with the investigation?

Which came first?

Asking for a friend ;)

Whatever has been happening, this is a massive day in City's favour.

Think it’s nyt first .

@tolmie's hairdoo i think the NYT article was first, then our statement and finally the redacted article.

Got a few more messages from various supporters of other clubs this morning referencing the NYT article and questioning how I could support a club that cheat and are owned by the “monsters” that are the UAE.

Going to have to either start ignoring them or craft a boilerplate response to save myself the trouble of putting constant effort in to responding.

The righteous indignation of these people, who support clubs who also receive (directly or indirectly) funding from the UAE, SA, China, and Russia is infuriating. It’s starting to pop up at my league games, as well.

 

[SWP's back]

Wtf why should. Liverpool even behind the campaign. The campaign is coming from Bayern Barcelona and Real 1000%. Over the years they are trying to stop Psg and City.

“What was the losing bid?”

That fuckers been upset for nearly a decade.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Duh. Obviously not you bloody idiot. They're hardly going to respond in a quasi-legal dispute before someone goes public with it.

I was trying to work out how to put that. Wouldn't be able to improve on yours!

I hope we announce the signing of 3 players Friday morning to show them two middle fingers

In which case, the Uefa source already knew the bollock which had been dropped :)

City statement just confirmed their worst fears.

Let's be clear, either the journo now falls on his sword and says he made up such a detailed article (this rendering his career and rep in the gutter and his paper open to a multi-million pound legal)

Or, he confirms what we know all along, he's been given it by someone with an agenda who didn't have the legal nous to realise how fucking stupid they really were in the first instance.

Either way, they are Abu Dhabi royally fucked and we are not.
