At the end of the opening paragraph, his statement of ... The event was described by Judge Andrew Blake as being "the worst night of violence and destruction suffered by Manchester city centre since the blitz." ... is something which should be debated. While there sure is every condemnation for the actions of these poeple, Rangers fans or not, the attempted mass murder by the I.R.A. in 1996 (see "Manchester bombing" article on the Manchester WIKI page) was sure more severe than a night of hooliganism. I'm surprised that he didn't call for an independent public inquiry, which is quite often the case after public disorder incidents, especially if the damage was allegedly so widespread. That he didn't is very telling. Ynnis ( talk) 09:07, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
I have removed the following paragraph from the lead:
This is full of non-neutral boardspeak advertising. I have italicized some examples of this. This is not a corporate press release, it's a Wikipedia article, and if it's to be included, it should be written neutrally. A ecis Brievenbus 13:14, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Davis and Whittaker are in each other's positions on the team listings and on the .svg of the lineups. WATP ( talk) • ( contribs) 19:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
So, apparently an edit I made, in which a public figure is clearly quoted, in an article written in a mainstream publication, needs to be discussed.
Why?
The edit I made was
"The event was described by Judge Andrew Blake as being "the worst night of violence and destruction suffered by Manchester city centre since the blitz." [1]"
Judge Andrew Blake said that the event was "the worst night of violence and destruction suffered by Manchester city centre since the blitz."
It says so

It clearly states that Judge Andrew Blake is quoted as having said that it was "the worst night of violence and destruction suffered by Manchester city centre since the blitz."
Is it being denied that this is what was said? Is it being denied that these are reliable sources?
What exactly is the problem? Are there vested interests at work here?
This is an open and shut case. The statement was made, it was reported, it has been verifies by reliable sources.
