I posted this last week on another forum which summarises my thoughts:
“
To witness Bernardo Silva playing football is like watching a lovable field mouse win 25 simultaneous games of chess, while also defeating an army of orcs using only a tickle stick.”The author of the article containing that amusing snippet is Barney Ronay, a founder member of the anti-Arab cabal of sports journos who have been gaslighting City’s owners since they took over the club in 2008 and it gives me a chance to quote the combined wisdom of two members who are pretty high profile lawyers themselves.
Premier League’s greed may consume it as Manchester City’s date with destiny looms | Barney Ronay Ominous news that those epic financial charges will be judged, eventually, feels like an existential threat for league and clubhttps://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... destiny-lo "Actually we know very little about the current PL charges against us except that they are almost certainly a fishing expedition. In his piece he complains that City are likely to 'get off' because we have the money to hire top lawyers to defend us. It seems not to have occurred to the clown that we might just have had the money to engage top lawyers to ensure we didn't breach the rules in the first place."
MARTIN SAMUEL: 'Hateful eight' step up war against Manchester City: This is not over. There is still a Premier League investigation into City ongoing. There is still a chance to pressurise.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footb ... -saga.htmlThe truth is is that the FFP regulations were specifically put in place by a legion of highly paid and skilled UEFA legal & accounting advisers enlisted by the cartel of elite ‘legacy’ clubs to stop us competing with them. This shitshow should have been dropped years ago when the identical UEFA version was shown to be a pack of lies, confected by thieves for the cartel. Rui Pinto, the Portugese extortionist paid by them to hack City’s emails is now in jail. The whole process since has been conducted s in such a way that it's easy for hostile parasite media outlets and venal commercial rivals to smear us without the club being able to defend itself.
"We've had five years now of frenzied and fundamentally mendacious coverage, in which even issues such as the CAS verdict have been presented by the media with implacable dishonesty. Now, if it does turn out that there's evidence not yet publicly available to indicate that City are guilty of some of the more serious charges against us, then fine - we'll be punished accordingly and will deserve it. The point is that the media, in the utmost bad faith, wants us convicted irrespective of whether the evidence justifies it - utterly deplorable in its sickening chicanery.
There is literally nothing whatsoever in circulation that remotely points to the charges even constituting a case to answer - and yet I have not seen a single article that raises that as an issue. Not one, the whole of the MSM accepts the charges as being meritorious without even knowing a single thing about their substance or merit.
The cartel and its parasite media have deliberately created a febrile atmosphere in which all hell will break loose if the proceedings don't end with City expelled from the PL or, at the very least, suffering a severe points deduction. It's shameful given the absence of facts about the PL case currently in the public domain."
