OK.Not really. Why would it?
We had BBC Breakfast on earlier, and when the knob doing the sport was talking about Forest's points deduction, he said, "The elephant in the room is Manchester City".
Same old shit, with no meaningful research.
I, too, will continue to support City, as I have for the past 54+ years.That is such an empty sentence, when uttered by such people. They would not be able to specify one of the 115 charges, if pressed. Not one. Their logic, such as it, is the equally vacuous “Oh, no smoke without fire, you know, mate” (in nature, there is and can be smoke without fire, so it is equally the statement of an ignoramus).
I have refrained from stating on this forum or in private conversation with football-following friends (not necessarily City supporters) whether we are innocent or guilty of the charges, simply because I have not studied them. So I'm not qualified to sound off about it.
I note simply in passing that Mubarak seems very, very certain that our case is rock solid (and he must have his reasons in consultation with our lawyers, but cannot speak out for obvious legal reasons), but that does not mean we will not be punished. So be it.
What I simply cannot stand any more is this cacophony of fools all over the internet (and in pubs, and elsewhere) yakking on and on, holding forth about City's “guilt” when they have no specific knowledge of the rights and wrongs, the ins and outs of the case to be answered.
That is why I want this to be resolved, rather sooner than later. If we are to be docked points, so be it. If we are to heftily fined, so be it. If we are retrograded to the Championship — so be it! I for one shall not stop being a City supporter, and anyone who would was a worthless “supporter” in the first place. Good riddance to them.
Might even be interesting. I confess I'm a little bit jealous, in a weird kind of way, of those who went on those jaunts to Wycombe and Blackburn, in those years.
We'd be the same if the Rags had 115 charges hanging over them. Regardless of what any Rag said we'd all be saying 'no smoke without fire','cheating bastards' etc etc. The PL have done this and the media have played along.That is such an empty sentence, when uttered by such people.

Khaldoon said something along the lines of: City won’t be used as a diversion tactic by other club owners to hide their own incompetence.Is it City’s fault for every single one of the 30 years that Liverpool went without winning the PL ? City’s fault that United haven’t won the league for 11 seasons ? Money means fuck all , both those clubs have outspent City for the past thirty years. Let’s see how Chelsea wriggle out of the shite they are obviously in when they file there next set of accounts, and of course it’s City’s fault that Arsenal haven’t won a title for 18 years. Those stuck up cunts of all the above can go and fuck themselves. They’re moaning about alleged misdemeanours going back over 10 seasons - I’ve asked many a fan of other clubs how much of our current revenue is a fiddle , and what the fuck it’s got to do with Peps ability as a manager, bearing in mind he became manager a good five seasons after the alleged charges. They can’t answer the question, fuck them all tbh , and I include any club who’ve sucked the devils cock, especially Tottenham - the biggest jumped up fucking club in the whole PL, fuck them all.
