If we are guilty then we take the punishment , we have suffered far worse in the past, in saying that not for one second do I think we are and when the times comes that the PL say we are innocent, we celebrate like never before.You may be very resilient, but as we stand everything City stands for is on the line. Recent history and past history. Naturally that will cause anxiety for at least some fans whether they choose to admit it or not. I am not having a laugh.
I survived watching David Pleat do his little dance at Maine Road in his brown leather shoes so I think I will be ok. ☺ however, this will be impacting some City fans.That's fair enough. You can't generalise how people react to situations. But, trust me. if you survived City in the 1990s, you will easily be able to survive the next couple of years until this is resolved.
Didn't think about it too much. Isn't it time we shouted back?! Our gallows humour needs a chant for two, or ten...Works if the third syllable of Premier is emphasised and in the last line 'what' is replaced by 'the end of'.
Exactly, so man up and laugh at this utter witch hunt.I survived watching David Pleat do his little dance at Maine Road in his brown leather shoes so I think I will be ok. ☺ however, this will be impacting some City fans.
Agreed. The charges certainly galvanised the club and yes, when we are cleared, there will be some big celebrations. I will be getting the maracas out for a start. Not until we are cleared though.If we are guilty then we take the punishment , we have suffered far worse in the past, in saying that not for one second do I think we are and when the times comes that the PL say we are innocent, we celebrate like never before.
Also the PL charges made last year for me had a huge part to play in us winning a treble, a huge part that I think we will be made more aware of when this is over.

Keep off the prozac in the meantime ;)Agreed. The charges certainly galvanised the club and yes, when we are cleared, there will be some big celebrations. I will be getting the maracas out for a start. Not until we are cleared though.
I don't even think Jordan is stupid enough to think there could ever be another Enron scandal, purely due to the regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley) that were brought in, to prevent something like this happening again in the future.I knew there had been severe punishments for Enron but just googled it and Jeffrey Skilling was sentenced to an initial 24 years custodial sentence in 2006 and was released in 2019.
If Jordan wants to accuse the Executives involved in our situation he needs to be very careful because he could be in deep shit coming out with false statements, I’m no expert but to take the stance he has surely has to put him at risk of at least a Civil action of defamation. I’d piss myself if he was ordered to cough up his last few million, wanker.
Not being naive though but where does it say relegation is the outcome? I thought it was just hyperbole from other fans/media as there were 115 charges? If they condensed them in to the 5 or 6 categories of charges, would relegation ever have been mentioned?He’s a serious guy with a serious reputation and gave a serious answer. Relegation is the outcome if the verdict goes against us.
He’s not there to protect or cheerlead City and his objective approach is exactly why he’s gaining so much respect and credibility over this.
.... it makes it worse coming from someone I thought was highly experienced and educated ....
