This seems to be an extreme example! Family fees have been going on for decades and City have forked out in that respect in the past. But 700k for what was allegedly a bogus scouting service is, as you indicate, off the scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Was anything mentioned about the football side of things, or was the most of it about the egg chasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom suggested his dad, but they knew they’d never convince anyone he knew anything about football Bit Ince'stuous in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember the outcome. That's all in the past. Can't imagine they's do anything so devious these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 This is just a reminder of how annoying it is that City have never played in the premiership. If a small town like Saracens can get there (and I dont even know where Saracens is) then surely we should have won promotion there by now.

Guess he won’t want to talk about the not-upcoming City 4th round tie against Liverpool... Talksport talks about things other than football?
