That all comes under the FA banner

I see city have hired David Pannick QC to represent them.

he was the fantastic silk who wiped the floor with govt in the brexit stuff. Gina millers lawyer.

20k a day apparently

Does he get a win bonus as well !!

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?

Is this a clarky or a windup?

Actually, that article is quite sympathetic. Basically, it says all fans, including the writer, wear tinted specs.

There's been worse, but any way you look at it, it's not very complimentary of us. And it's one of a long line of articles focussing on our fan base in a negative way.

I wonder why no journo seems remotely interested in why were biting back at the media, and why we are arguing the clubs case.

It's too easy to say we're being led by the club, if they'd bothered to check many of us have argued for a long while that the club have been too soft with the media.

Yeah, you should always get a shite lawyer just to prove your Innocence. I do it all the time.

True, they could easily have got a local lawyer, a city fan, just out of law school, give him or her some game time.

Yes, we've learnt our lesson since getting Thos Cook to organise our flights for pre season games in China.

I applied the same logic when appointing my solicitor for divorcing the Mrs after she had an affair. She got everything.

I’m only writing this as I can sofa surf at the weekends, it’s more difficult from my tent on Oldham Edge during the week.

Cue a SJW have a go claiming I’m mocking the homeless.

Didn’t realise you got Wi-fi in jail now

 

[The perfect fumble]

Yeah, that's a lawyer I'd recommend. Might be a little more costly though.

Divine intervention doesn't come cheap.

And PlayStations. They can be a great little break - as long as you get a brief who’s just shit enough of course.

Yeah we should definitely hire the shittest lawyers because justice always prevails ...

Erm, no. The incremental cost between Pannick and A Nother QC is probably £100-200k in this case. Best play it safe, eh

For £20k a day I’ll do it

I subscribe to it. Got a good deal last year. The quality of the writing is brilliant and it's pretty impartial & objective, plus it covers subjects I'm interested in.

So can I call you a posh bastard ? :-)

This is the legal equivalent of people that say Pep couldn’t be successful with a team in the championship.

I get that 'worrying' is a bit of a Football fan's companion, but sometimes the extremes of it are, to say the least, farcical. The club has vast resources, it has ALWAYS defended itself as being truthful at every turn and also maintained it has evidence to prove it's stance. However, in some instances, evidence is not supremely enough, it needs a bit of push, an eloquent nudge here a knowledgeable shove there...in short it needs delivering by an experienced teller, one who others look to as being accomplished in what they do...not one whose star in an ascendancy but is already out there shining brightly and has shone continuously over a period of time. To have hired the best to present and deliver our 'truth' gives a further indication that our club believe totally in their cause. No matter all that has been said, there are still those intent with siding with their niggling mate! Don't :-)
