UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

Im not being funny or having a dig. But I thought it was common knowledge that your owner put his money into the club via Etihad.

This is a perfect example of how a biased and hostile media can, and frequently does, plant bullshit into the minds of neutrals. As the old adage goes, "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth". The hacked emails refer to 'HH' (His Highness) with no name attached. In the UAE 'HH' is only used to describe the ruler of the country and nobody else. If the ruler decided to capitalise the state owned Etihad Airlines and Etihad used some of that money to meet its sponsorship obligations to City so what? The thing is if UEFA ask Etihad to see their books they'd quite rightly be told to fuck off because it's none of their business. This is what we're up against.

Del Piero,Trezeguet and Buffon stayed at Juve when they got relegated with the calciopoli scandal. If some of the players want to play in that bent competition without us then good riddance.

We are the only club to drink Wembley dry. Twice. We are the only c6to be banned from Millwall for being too dangerous and violent. CMON City

I wasn’t aware there were league tables produced for drinking Wembley dry, are there?

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

We'll piss the premier league now for 2 years, even with VAR

A lot of fans will be celebrating tonight but this will make City more popular too with some. We have become a pariah club.

UEFA, Liverpool, Man Utd and the ancien regime. We'll revel in the image you created for us. We are at war. Some blues needed waking up anyway.

We should appropriate Liverpool's claim that "This matter more". The stakes have been raised.

This matters more? Fuck sake marv

City are surrounded by enemies. They have no face, no name, but it's been decided at the most senior levels of the game they must be destroyed. No one has said they must be destroyed but everyone involved knows that is what has to be done.There are no compromising connections except at the most secret links in the chain. Those who have the power also control the media and the public is brainwashed into believing the story they put out is true.

Is a 100% correct.

 

[Blue Bogey]

All the adversity City fans have faced in their life, all their troubles and obstacles, have strengthened them....You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for us.

WE FIGHT TO THE END!

 

[Marvin]

No. Turn up and walk out at half time.
Bastards.

Win the game is obviously ideal but I wouldn't at all be surprised if there are some protests. City fans could for example go on the pitch en masse so that no one can be singed out.

 

[SidJames]

Sure Pep might fuck off.

I am a City Fan first,not a Pep fan,thanks for the memories Pep never,ever, to be forgotten..

If we can not attract the stellar signings we want,and a stellar manager then it isn't all doom and gloom.Give VK the Job and watch players like Foden,Garcia and all our other kids come through the ranks.

We have had enough success the last few years to last a life time.

The next 2 seasons because of players getting old we faced a period of transition anyway.

Let us not forget the players that have brought us so much success like Vinny,David Silva etc were actually tier 2 type players that came to us because they didn't want to warm Madrid,or Barcelona Bench.The rest is history.

We will come back much stronger from this even with 2 Seasons out of that shit corrupt competition.

Could be a blessing in disguise.Most of us hate it,and all it represents anyway

You are not paying attention, we are getting relegated to league two, and Pep is leaving the independant says so.

 

[Indaparkside]

The dippers won’t like us having a free run at the premier league, they’ll vote us back in

 

[laserblue]

Would hope any uefa officials turning up at the Madrid game get treated with the disdain they deserve.

Witnessed first hand how these pricks expect to be treated when they turn up at a club. For them the football is something in the background while they are being entertained. Always wound me how well they were treated while treating us like shit.

A few STD riddled hookers and rent boys with video evidence and job's good 'un.

It’s in our DNA

I defy anyone who tells me that there isn’t a more prepared fanbase, bring it you ****s!

Nah, Liverpool have next year in the bag as that makes it 20-20 with rags. They will now be trying to get rags to the top to challenge them in a race to 21. Masters confirmed recently that he cares about the viewing figures. Rags and Liverpool head to head for their 21st title is what they’ll engineer. They’ll be rolling in it. 5th place getting in the CL, plus our points deduction will be enough to get the rags in there. Then they’ll try to nudge them up further in time for the 2021/22 season.

 

[Marvin]

This is what a 10 year media mis-information campaign does to other teams' fans.

The Etihad sponsership is and has been for 10 years so comically below market value - it's literal peanuts to us compared to PL and CL and Puma money. We've had hundreds of millions pumped in to us by the Chinese and Americans, yet people still think we're fudging the books with a tiny sponsership agreement.

It wasn't tiny then but it was accepted as fair value. The issue for Der Spiegel was that they think he Sheikh underwrote it whereas in fact it was the UAE Executive Council because it is a state run airline.

You wonder what Man Utd and Liverpool's execs get up too. City were targeted deliberately. Liverpool spied on City allegedly. Brushed under the carpet.

 

[chedinho]

So much for 80% of the posts on here for the last few days then!
Pity I've already got my Madrid ticket.

Worth turning up just to vent a bit of anger towards uefa

 

[Rammy Blue]

The points deduction would work a charm for them. Due to the corruption, in the long run it is 2nd place that will ultimately win this seasons PL, when it all comes out in about 30 years. The deduction stops that from being us. Leicester looking good for their 2nd PL.

Are you on crack?

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Ah well

Sure Pep might fuck off.

Yeh lets just give up cant we go back to playing shrewsbury away.ffs we fight til the end.!

 

[Fordyboy46]

Having fun are we?

No not particularly,why?

 

[marco]

I have no faith in CAS or anything connected with UEFA.

All comes down to City being too soft and nice and taking the pinch some years ago. Should have hit them hard then.

CAS were pretty much OK with us last time so there is hope still
