Other than his purchase of the Boston Globe some 7 years ago, please provide evidence of his connection. Alternatively....you could try being quiet as your allegations are making you look rather silly.???? 1. NYT WERE Liverpool's 2nd second largest shareholder. You corrected me that they aren't any longer. 2. NYT WERE Liverpool's 2nd second largest shareholder when FSG's John Henry was the biggest shareholder in Liverpool. 3. I stated that "I bet the NYT-John Henry link stayed in place" meaning they know each. They used to be owners of Liverpool, he bought the Boston Globe OFF NYT, he's in the media world as are NYT, so yeah he more than likely has retained his links to the main people at the NYT.

"The reluctance to accept they have done wrong as they prepare to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) also rankles with their rivals, who want City suitably punished on the domestic level on top of their European sanctions." Just own up and you might have a few less enemies in the wrong places. The bit that took my attention was "The majority of Premier League clubs do NOT want Manchester City to be relegated".

But as the other 3 are conducting investigations, we can assume there is suspicions of wrongdoing. I asked you hypothetically (and this looks like a very real possibility), if the Premier League charges you, will you still maintain it's part of a conspiracy? Hi Rick can you remind us what are the other 3 conducting investigations on City about. The PL's ongoing investigation we all know about, but who are the other 2 you refer to and what exactly are they investigating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 23 hours ago, RickG16 said: That's obviously not against the rules though. Don't you think it might be difficult to form a UEFA Executive of people who have no affiliations (even present, such as being on the board) with a major club? You are working on the basis that everyone is corrupt and has an agenda against Man City. Because that's the only way you can justify yourselves. I think that there are City fans who believe there is a conspiracy against City – but I do not believe that. I do believe though that the powerful established teams (Real, Barca, Bayern, 2 Milan clubs, Arsenal, Liverpool & ManU) have and are able to ‘influence’ UEFA. FFP was/is most likely needed. Having read around the subject a bit it seems that originally former UEFA president Michel Platini wanted to introduce FFP to target curbing club debt – but on that debt basis the likes of ManU, Barca, Spurs, Juve, Arsenal, Real Madrid and others would not be compliant as they all have massive debt and would be penalised (City have no debt and would be compliant). Instead they chose to go with the ‘break even’ requirement (“a de facto soft salary cap, tying the maximum amount a club can spend (with defined exceptions) to its revenue generation”). Some might say that another measure introduced in recent times which aids the establishment teams, was the introduction of the UEFA coefficient payment (based on performances over 10 years). For the CL 2018/19 season, City's earnings received were €24m, compared to ManU, who received €31m. So UEFA rewards based on past glories – how can past glories be relevant?. Could it be because the teams mentioned HAVE the past glories, and by this system they are awarded more than the ‘Johnny come latelys’? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
