Any player that signs for sportswashers are no better than the tea towel wearing Geordies. I find it staggering that so many players have no morals and don’t care where their money is coming from as long  as they get barrel fulls of it. The game truly is sick.

We'll find out just how sick over the next few years. We'll also find out if this was just a publicity stunt pretty soon

think we'd have seen a mass boycott movement of the WC in Qatar among players/coaches starting up long ago if we are to think they truly are concerned with that kind of thing

It’s literally only City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Newcastle and PSG that can afford him. It’s a good chance he ends up at City.

We really need Mbappe to sign for Madrid. That could make PSG really go for Haaland.

Surely not!

https://theathletic.com/2900163/2021/10/22/is-barry-bennell-really-going-to-give-high-court-evidence-on-man-citys-behalf/

Quote
When Barry Bennell was brought from his cell to be sentenced for another batch of horrific crimes against children, taking his overall prison term up to 36 years, the footballers who had been raped and molested in his care could have been forgiven for thinking it was the last time they would ever have to see or hear from him.

Bennell had already been described by a judge as “sheer evil” and “the Devil incarnate”, because of his years preying on young boys in the youth systems at Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra.

He had to be moved to a different prison because of an attack by another inmate which left him with a detached retina. Now 67, and so ravaged by a battle with cancer he needs to be fed through a tube, it is almost certain he will die in prison.

Yet Bennell always did like to get the last word.

At some point earlier this year, the legal team representing Manchester City’s insurers wrote to Bennell at HMP Littlehey, the category-C sex offenders’ prison in Cambridgeshire where he will spend his final years, to ask whether he would be a witness in a lawsuit involving eight of the players he used to abuse.

Bennell, The Athletic has discovered, has agreed to give evidence on the club’s behalf against the players, now in their 40s and 50s, who are seeking damages.


The trial begins in the High Court in central London on Monday and, to put it into context, is expected to last considerably longer than the five-week criminal proceedings at Liverpool Crown Court in early 2018 that finished with Bennell being convicted of 52 offences.

More than 60 witnesses, including former players, coaches and psychiatrists, have been lined up to give evidence in a trial that will take on a different form to the cases that have previously been settled out of court with Chelsea, Aston Villa, Leicester City, Southampton, Crewe and all the other clubs embroiled in football’s sexual-abuse scandal.

To be specific, the law firm representing the eight players is also seeking “special damages” for loss of earnings.

Some of Bennell’s victims made careers in football but, according to their legal team, could have gone much further. Others fell by the wayside and blame it on the shattering effects of Bennell’s crimes.

There is no precedent in football for special damages being awarded before, in cases of this nature, and the players’ solicitors will argue the compensation ought to run into millions of pounds.

Not sure whether or not the defence is being mounted by City or their insurers?

Insurers.

" the litigation is being handled by a legal firm, Keoghs, who are acting for City’s insurers rather than taking their instructions directly from the club. There is a distinction to be drawn even if, ultimately, it is in City’s name (the trial is listed as “TVZ and others v Manchester City Football Club Limited”).

“It is, of course, open to survivors, and the law firms who represent them, not to use our scheme and instead issue court proceedings, but if that happens the matter is taken out of the club’s control and passes instead to the relevant insurers under historic Football League arrangements,” said a statement from City.

“The cases being heard at the High Court are those of survivors who are being advised by a single law firm which did not recommend the scheme to them and instead is representing them in a civil action.  The club is named in the case as a formality only and does not control or make decisions within the litigation, such as who to call as witnesses.”

Completely agree. Also, can you even imagine what they would be saying if the Barry Bennel situation was involving Liverpool and not Man City?

To be fair, Brighton are the perfect team for the like of us and City.  Passing out from the back ... all you need to do is press them and they fold.

They're high in the table but I'd much rather play them than the Burnleys and Palace's of the world.

That's a laughably brilliant piece.

So essentially games finish too late for fans with children (same for all teams).

It's difficult to get back to the city centre (same for all teams).

People are worried about money/Covid (same for all teams).

My personal favourites "there's no jeopardy" (0 Champions League/European cups suggest an element of jeopardy)

And.... they don't have as many fans......
