    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    The CAS case has a different burden of proof and was time barred. And they still got fined. And it still wasn’t a majority exoneration or even close.

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    Absolutely, that would be the normal reaction wouldn’t it. I think this is very much going to be like the people who work for Trump, in the sense that they had ‘respectable’ positions and see how far they go defending his line before inevitably he chucks them out. Maybe a better way to say...

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    I have to say Pep’s statement just now is an absolute disgrace. If he stopped at ‘I feel for the fans’ I would understand, even the players. but he goes the whole hog, being with the ‘owners until the end’. Bizarre behaviour and a sure fire way to taint his legacy.

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    I think it’s fascinating too. To answer @thfcsteff’s question, I don’t think Soriano’s statement means they are going to wriggle out of this. I think it’s literally the only thing they can say at this point, because they’re already in too deep. And the sheer, unwavering confidence in their own...

    Whatever compensation we get from them will be good for another top player or two.

    There was no statement or explanation before. Now there is, and the arguments are being made public. Love to see it.

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    Let’s goooooo! PL statement, talk of sham contracts. Being seriously in breach of FFP, artificially inflating revenues and reducing losses. City coming out with accusing the panel of being beset by partisan influence…this brick needs to be dealt with.

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    I think the only reason the media are sitting on the fence is because the detail of the findings haven’t been announced and no one wants to prejudice the proceedings or put themselves in the legal firing line. I think they’re going to get a serious punishment, at least one relegation and...

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    Goodness grief that must have been a frustrating listen. None of those points even stand up on their own merits. The view of the PL around the world is not going to be helped by Emirates Marketing Project being found guilty on 114 charges and then getting off without much of a punishment. That would render the...

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    Genuinely fascinated as to how long Khaldoon is going to keep doubling down on his ‘they are all biased, we’ve done absolutely nothing wrong’ rhetoric because at some point this just goes worse and worse for him. Like, the worry is that the UAE will put some pressure on the UK but I think it...

    Levy's Plan

    One of the great things about Levy was his morality, his heart, his belief in doing the right thing and the right long term thing. I also think he and Spurs should be held up as a shining example anytime City fans complain of FFP being ‘the red cartel’ (and with how Villa and Villa fans...

    fudge me it is exhausting trying to have a normal debate on this forum now. You have never said he hasn’t made mistakes but by accusing me of bias for making reasoned arguments (including being at pains to put aside the other side of the argument in the same post) then you are acting like he is...

    I think that’s a bit of a ridiculous reply to be honest mate. Again I’ve engaged in substance and you’re accusing me of bias. What bias? Why am I biased against DL? My original username on here was a tribute to him and I spent years defending him as the best chairman in the league, genuinely...

    ENIC

    Sorry mate, I know full well what the issues were. I’m just saying that in my opinion, it happened too often under Levy. Leaving things until the very last minute. Not actually backing the manager and going early and hard for the top targets to make the players that they want for their style of...

    I feel like we used to hear about 3rd party issues all the time making deals more or too complicated. ‘Image rights’ was the other one with Dybala. Obviously I wasn’t in these deals and I don’t know for sure, but I suspect one man’s ’too compilicated’ is another man’s ’just get it done’. Not...

    Not sure if Bale would have stayed into the second season but i think AVB’s ideal football would have been established at the club with Moutinho, and he wouldn’t have had to make do with the players he had. It was to his credit that he delivered us our record PL points total at the time and got...

    *** The Official 26/27 Premier League Thread ***

    From the stuff I’ve read today, I think they’re fudged. They seemed to think that either these charges would go away, that they’d be able to appeal them away, or that some version of FFP wouldn’t exist and the chickens would never come home to roost. And of course that they wouldn’t get...

    Yeah…honestly this is what I felt when hearing that AVB story. Not only did they not truly back their manager, and not only was there the obvious undermining by Sherwood, this idea that the manager doesn’t actually matter so if we can get a ton of money for him then great. Just rankles with...

    Levy's Plan

    Agreed with all of that. And I think to the extent that RDZ has been backed, whether it was too much or not enough, he’s unlikely to get another job where he gets backed as much, while also being paid as much and having the prestige of our club and our league. There’s no leverage elsewhere, so...

    Levy's Plan

    We wanted Savio under Frank. We wanted Robertson and Senesi before De Zerbi. I’m not too concerned that we’re over extending to RDZ short term while not paying enough mind to the future. The two buys that felt very RDZ are Tonali and JPVH. Both internationals, one the international team mate...
