I loved Ted Lasso from the start but had big misgivings about Season 4, as I wrote in April last year. (sportingintelligence832.subs…). But having just finished Season 4, misplaced misgivings. I loved it. And yep, I know it's Marmite TV, but I loved it.

David, as per @sportingintel have you or your PR company ever been paid by Man City or any related MCFC entity for PR advice &/or promotion of their narrative, or received benefit-in-kind gifts for tweeting/writing /promoting their version of events? TIA for your swift response

I was not allowed to join even though he groomed me as a coach at Butlins but with a Manchester City carrot for 11 months. 5 months of which he was definitely involved still at City. The other six he led me to believe he still was.

I've now updated a piece from a few days ago to make Man City's offer to sex abuse victims public. You can read that here, now, free. sportingintelligence832.subs… Goes without saying that if you'd also like to become a paid subscriber, then it enables me to continue this kind of work

Here's the MoS story as it appears in the paper. And to be clear, it was a minority section of Man City's support who invoked Helen's death in their attacks against me. I rarely even referred to her illness before she died.
The human cost of reporting on Man City’s cheating for 15 years. It’s on the Mail website today and will be in the MoS paper tomorrow (Sunday) but they backed my reporting 100%. That reporting continues on my Substack. Google it for details. dailymail.com/sport/football…

This pod is by far the best and most surgical analysis of the City scandal. Our club being one of those who suffered most. Compensation won’t get us fans back what was stolen by City (& Chelsea) but the PL have a unique opportunity to ensure it never happens again.
