And now the City fans think that we are in the wrong, and we should be reported to the FA, they really are deluded!!!

LOL
All they're banging on about all the time is that it was us that reported the two bids for Lescott on the OS and not them. They're "backlashing" against the reports that we could take them to the FA.
But in all honesty, apart from the blantant fact of how can they report us over our own player (at the time), to report any infraction to the FA there has to be evidence. The Mirror reported we had "a very solid case" from an "insider" to report them. What those lot at Citeh concentrate on is the fact we reported the bids while Citeh did it in secret...but they're not thinking about how Lescott's head was turned.
What I believe, if we did take them to the FA, is that was probably things going on behind the scene and not media related, something no one has a clue about apart from the two clubs. For example, when Lescott and Terry were at the same hotel on international duty....and Mark Hughes (or Citeh reps) was there. Chelsea were rumoured to take Citeh to the FA during their pursuit of Terry, but Terry stayed (after a wage hike) so Chelsea dropped it.
Now, if we did take them to the FA, it wouldnt be on the back of what happened in the paper, media or who said what...it would be based on allegations that Citeh reps were in contact with Lescott and his agent behind the clubs back ie tapping him up before and after bids.
Its not uncommon for a club to go to a player behind the clubs back and whisper secret nothings to persude them to leave. Ashley Cole to Chelsea was the big one and Chelsea paid out, Man United get accused of it every season (last season it was the Machidea feller).
That would be my understanding if we did take them to the FA and not media fights to be fair.
