    So who would you trust?
    So far every quote I've seen says the same as the BBC.

    The rest :1980_boogie_down:

    Come on, we all know and have grumbled about how bad the BBC are nowadays.

    Looking at the BBC alone, you'd question the accuracy. Others saying it too suggests they reporting correctly in this instance but didn't mean they suddenly become a trust worthy source.

    I don't complain about the BBC in general - I do complain about the standard of sports journalism generally, and that includes theirs. The fact that its sports hacks are at the tabloid level is a shame for such an historic institution, and many times I've said they don't deserve the term "journalist", ranking alongside people who risk their lives reporting on war zones and such.
    The BBC screwed its reputation over the Saville business of course, but that would be down to corruption at a top-level and you can't tar everyone who works at the company with that one.
    They don't tend to jump in with the latest gossip, desperate to be first (apart from the likes of transfer rumours which are clearly labelled as such), so whatever you do read on there is more likely to be something already widely accepted.
    It's virtually impossible to get a clear, trustworthy source of news, but I'd still take the BBC over the legion of moronic self-appointed "experts" on YouTube or Twitter just shooting their mouths off for a quick buck.
    The BBC, Sky, BT Sports and the Guardian all reported the quote the same way, yet you claimed it was wrong - so if you have a more reliable source I'd appreciate you pointing it out as I'd rather be well-informed before I take a stance on anything.

    I don't trust any of the mainstream sources. In this particular case, it helps if you can speak a bit of Spanish and translate it yourself. Which I did. There are several YouTube videos and 'shorts' of the actual conversation and they all have within the subtitles 'they are the same'.

    Premier league clubs barely vote though atp rules.

    Newcastle - oil state and human rights despots
    Man city - oil state
    Aston villa - Egyptian owned and no doubt in bed with the oil
    Everton - new owners and no longer the peoples club. In bed due n

    Those are now the voting block.

    If the middle east get a club like sheff utd back up then the 14 club requirement to change rules will be broken.

    This could be the last time there's a vote thst does anything to keep the sport in any sort of check (which this doesn't really do)

    Btw when I say I look at things on YouTube for accuracy, I'm talking about using it as a primary source ie watching the actual conversation of the people concerned, not some random person's view on it.

    The same goes for when checking out eg whether a goal was offside. I watch the actual footage, stop and start it and see for myself so I can come to a conclusion. If I want to know what was said by a particular MP (very rarely), I will go to the Parliament YouTube channel and listen to them and what they are actually saying rather than what is being reported. YouTube is full of rubbish but it's also a valuable resource as a primary source.

    I always find it interesting that the same doesn't seem to apply to the NHS which presented him with flats and free access to a number of hospitals

    I've just read the PL statement about the changes. The second sentence mentions addressing the findings of an Arbitration Tribunal following a legal challenge by city. I can't remember where we are up to in terms of city's challenge. Does this have any impact on it?

    Maybe because he wasn't employed by them knowing full well what he was up to. The BBC obviously didn't learn from that particular mistake either, handling the Huw Edwards situation in similar fashion.

    not really this is City trying to stop PL putting in rules regarding fair value sponsorships and related financial rather than pulling the ladder up as they seem to view Newcastle and villa as Allies in trying to remove financial restraints in to force

    It's quite odd thst city managed to fake thier revenues to the level of "biggest club on planet"

    And then suddenly don't was others to exploit the same rule loop holes.

    Just cos the current set of rules didn't suit them doesn't mean they wanted no rules at all.
