Course they can. But they can’t be white middle class men as originally asserted.

Agree with your post however
It was a analogy for the views and outlook of all those there.
The poster I replied to said Syed couldn’t be racist as he was mixed race.
Had he said he wasn’t ‘white’ then I would have agreed

These days expecting any journo to stick to the truth is a forlorn hope.
They mix news with deliberate lies to suit their agenda that feeds their need for clickbait subscribers.
The quality of ethics has been removed from their cv superseded by popularity.

Billy Weekly Liar was ahead of its time.

Hehe no it was an article Ric recommended this morning by a lawyer:

very interesting article, offers optimism in the CAS appeal, but a scare that maybe UEFA have something nasty up their sleeve City aren’t aware of. The author also doesn’t hold out much hope if we fail at CAS and then try and take them to court. “We should assume the prospects of overturning the ban are slim and the damage exponentially grave”.... gulp.

I know most here think the media is completely against you...but driving home earlier actually heard Durham sticking up for you....and even stranger for him...making sense!
Basically saying, what have you actually done? Invested in a club to break into the "cartel", not loaded it with debt or run the club into the ground and boosted the local area and economy.
Have to say I agreed with him....throw it all out, you aint done anything wrong....and good luck!

and just one thing. Do you all think that Liverpool and United are so big becouse of all the lovely local people ?
No the difference is the turists the plastic fans as so many if you call them.
Having enough plastics mean more change of sponsers like Nissan instead of Etihad and all this shit goes away

The poor old soul must have forgotten that Danny Fiszman's gift of millions enabled him to build his first trophy winning sides at Arsenal.

In blood diamonds.

Telling how one person can use a piece of evidence to suit their own objective.

The original football leaks were presented in such a way that it made it look as if Sheikh mansour was the real source of the Etihad sponsorship. At least David Conn agrees that this piece of evidence suggests that Etihad's sponsorship of Man City was covered by the UAE state. City fans have said that for years, and yet Conn couches it in sinister terms. Still it's useful that one of the main allegations from the Der Spiegel email trail has now been undermined.

Also lets be fair...a member of this community investigated, dug out some evidence and 12 hours later it's headlining one of the biggest papers in the country. Fans can have an impact on the discourse.

Khaldoon has stressed numerous times that city have nothing to hide and are willing to comply.
UEFA can't have one iota of dirt on us as we haven't got anything.
They are basing this on leaked emails, without reading our 200 page dossier and listening to these debt ridden clubs skriking because we're doing things the right way.

When does a file become a dossier?

From the Conn article......

"In one of the emails, City’s then chief financial officer, Jorge Chumillas, had sent two invoices internally for the £67.5m 2015-16 sponsorship, stating that “£8m should be funded directly by Etihad and £59.5 [sic] by ADUG” – Mansour’s company vehicle."

Can someone please assure me that the highlighted part is not an accurate and direct quote from a Chumillas email. Or is it just a rehash presented as a fact?

As far as I remember that quote is supposedly from the Chumillas email, however we have no way of knowing if it is real or taken out of context at the moment. It could be made up or someone at City May have replied saying no that isn’t right etc...
