Two Year Academy Transfer Ban Imposed On City

[RayCTID]

This is the aspect which, currently, bemuses me most. The rules are crystal clear, we have an army of people working behind the scenes. How can it go wrong? As it's happened to the Dippers it can't be 'typical City'!

City got fined more than Liverpool and it is the same offence.

I'll wait to see the reasons behind the decision but fucking hell, we seem to be lurching from one administrative cockup to the next.

We should be the one club that should be able to do things by the book. We've got the facilities, we've got the resources. We need to give kids some hope that they'll get a chance with us. And give someone a fucking rulebook to learn.

The reason is because we approached 2 players registered with other clubs.

We must employ some fucking idiots behind the scenes. We deserve the ban. The club needs to sort out the staff they employ; they need a balance of the best people and people who love the club.

First we can't fill in drug testing forms correctly and now we're tapping up youngsters who are 11 & 15 years old, absolute idiots.

Agree

City got fined more than Liverpool.

because we approached 2 players instead of 1, like Liverpool approached.

City got fined more than Liverpool.

I wonder if they've tied in these fines to the concept operating with speeding fines? The more loot you have, the bigger the fine?

 

[Deleted member 13905]

Our club is run by muppets. Shambolic. They are out to get us, so at the very least we should abide by the rules. Idiots.

Nope, City breached the rules for two players.

Reeks of Gill this, both us and Liverpool banned from signing youth players, just as the rags are complaining about not being able to compete with us at youth level

So if there was no case to answer or no admission of wrong doing we would just accept the charges ? Get real, we got caught out in breach of FA regulations and are rightly facing punishment for it. To be honest, I think the fines on us and Liverpool are very lenient. Sad day for the club.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

Is Marwood still at the club?

 

[bluegaz13]

United have always been squeaky clean......Ryan Wilson as he once was known !!!......doesn't excuse our slackness because we have given Gill and his cronies the opportunity they craved for.

Our club can do no wrong in the eyes of some fans.Always some other fuckers fault ... never ours.It reminds me a bit of Liverpool fans,always the victim ...

Just wanted to post on the first page really chaps.

Lol.

 

[u2fme2]

now we know why season tickets went up.To pay the bloody fine

 

[paulchapo]

I remember when our academy was lauded as one of the best when Jimmy Cassel was in charge. We produced a whole raft of players but I think only Barton and SWP had any real success in the first team. I can see why clubs have them but is the outlay worth the end product? Hopefully we will one day see five or six academy players in the first team but I am not holding my breath.

 

[domalino]

It's not like we're using the academy we have any way.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

All that time effort and money spent on the academy and some prick spoils it

I know other clubs will do it but everyone knows all eyes are on us and people were waiting for any little slip

Fucking Prick

 

[Centurions]

All the dippers were hopeful we'd get done over the Louie Moulden transfer, that should serve to wipe any premature smirks off their faces at least. Silver linings and all that...

 

[blue dallas]

Another reason for 'fans' not to renew .

 

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

Is Marwood still at the club?

Yep! But I think he's just there for comic relief, like Chappy!

 

[Phil1]

Blaming Gill is pointless. In fact, knowing the position Gill holds should have made the club even more prudent than others when it comes to signing youngsters. If we give the authorities an opportunity clamp down on us they are going to take it. It's up to us to get our ship in order, no one else.
