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

[citymike1969]

If you mean Rob Harris he is a United fan.

...even worse, he's out to try and erase 93:20 and the first team to reach 100 points from history.

 

[paulchapo]

Yet, we never stop them. Wtf is up with us?

It doesn't matter what we answer they ask the sane disrespectful questions over and over on repeat.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Can somebody quickly summarise the thread so far for me?

Much appreciated...

There's a chance we might be out of the CL with a ban for two years.
Then again we might get off because we did nothing wrong.

 

[roy.or.r]

Fuck UEFA.

 

[city2]

As sterling has just said we do not get the respect we deserve and this has just proved it. I think we should employ Andy Morrison as head of media, they wouldn’t dare ignore him. To soft again by City.

 

[paulchapo]

Why don't they ask Klopp if he feels embarrassed by them using the term European royalty, when their history shows they were responsible for 39 deaths and English clubs being banned from Europe for five years? Does he feel that taints those success's?

 

[BluessinceHydeRoad]

Agreed. Watched with almost disbelief as our PR guy (who seemed a little overawed) interrupted twice to warn him off but the journo still persisted and got his question in to which Pep responded. Why oh why do we not stand our ground and refuse to so-operate with them ?

The guy tried but he just ignored him and kept on asking, then Pep answered him. Now he should be banned as we have a legitimate reason to do so, he wouldn't comply with our requests.

Our PR guy did exactly what he's there to do. He was right to ensure that the question was not one which might lead to a breach of confidentiality or at least Pep did not say anything he shouldn't. Stone may have changed the question he intended to ask but he did pose a "football"question" rather than an FFP question and our PR man was perfectly right to permit it. Pep dealt with it very well as he would anf football question. There is absolutely no reason to ban Stone over this. The job of the PR man is to encourage the giving of information which is informative but does not put the club at any kind of risk. His job is not to find excuses to ban the press and ensure that we receive no coverage.

 

[Blue_eyes]

He's a very short ostrich. Maybe he just hasn't evolved enough yet to do it.

Nigel Pearson likes this, but is questioning his flexibility.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Yes, that is the point we are making.

They are morons, ****s, shills, or all of the above.

We still should not abuse or threaten them as that is wrong and is also just giving them what they want, so let’s not allow ourselves to be manipulated in to doing their work for them.

Can we knock them about a bit and say we support Chelsea?

[Barcon]

Also just watched and the big nosed ugly red cünt has wound me up no end. Not sure who I hate the most, him or Simon Jordan.

Rashford?

 

[citymike1969]

So this harris geezer is having to back track and indirectly apologise? Always knew he was a shithouse, thought he was a clever **** calling us petrostate and accusing us a club for promoting human rights abuse.

Well he's made his bed now he can lie in his own shit, he's a stuck up cocky little twat that should be nowhere near football reporting or a football stadium in fact, he thinks he is some kind of politician or spokesperson for the middle East.

He's bit off more than he can chew and I hope we find the time to throw the book.at him and take him down, he's a poison to journalism , not that it needs more poison as it's a cesspit of wankers but he's a gobshite who knows the grand total of zero about our owners, our club and us as fans.

=====================================================================================================================================================================

...bearing in mind his religous background, which (besides his being a rag) obviously colours his attitudes as regards our owners (continually attempting to bring non football matters into the equation), the only way he could be more riled by us is if we were owned by the PLO.

Respect?
Fair?
Unbiased?

Courteous?
Unbiased?
Neutral?
Trustworthy?

Can we knock them about a bit and say we support Chelsea?

So you want to be the only thing worse than an abusive, violent ****: a Liverpool supporter?

Personally, I’d prefer “no coverage” at the moment.

 

[Sky Blue]

Rashford?

Simon Stone.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

City good,
UEFA bad,
Blues mad,
CAS quiet,
Media loud,
Pep proud,
And we wait...

@blueinsa see, I have a gift for brevity. ;-)

Now boys and girls. Let's play a game. I'm going to show you an email I've received and you have to guess who it's from.

Hi Colin,

Your conspiracy theories are routinely a source of wry amusement among those outside the narrow band of City fans who feed off each's paranoia. Did you see last year that even Stu Brennan went public on Twitter to say your "toolkit / goalposts" nonsense was something that even he didn't believe! Pretty embarrassing stuff.

As for the notion that myself "and others" are part of a group who "coordinate their attacks" on City ... you have lost any semblance of plot you had left, IF you believe that.You can be as deeply angered about (wholly) imagined plots against you, or indeed City, as you like. That's your prerogative. But you're getting unnecessarily wound up over stuff that only exists in your head.

For a long time I felt you were a sensible and civil fan, able to look with a properly critical eye at City and of course as we discussed over a period, you were also able to acknowledge City wrong-doings. Propagating garbage about journalists, privately or otherwise, indicates something has driven you over the edge. I'd be happy to talk to you if you have any questions about how this has happened, about journalistic process, about any of it.

But maybe calm down first. Because ranty lying emails are just going to get you laughed at, not listened to.

That was pretty much what I thought.
Once Stone said it wasn't about the case, it's very difficult to tell him he can't ask questions at all.
