I would like to think so but just look at the Leicester v utd game weren't all the important events in that game involved ex utd players or sons who parents that played at utd !
Are you suggesting that Schmeichel and Evans deliberately threw their chance to play in the CL?

Surely it is libellous for anyone to state anything other than innocent in a poll like that?

Really given the corruption we have seen would you rule anything out?Are you suggesting that Schmeichel and Evans deliberately threw their chance to play in the CL?

If you click on one of the options it shows you the vote percentage. I have a screenshot but don’t know how to put it on here. The bottom option has 85% of the vote so his misinformation has clearly done its job.

He's asked a question. That is all.
I see he's also turned on UEFA as being at fault now, as it allows the charade to continue that City are actually guilty of the charges made against them.

No just saying that 9 teams formed a cartel to try any influence CAS who knows what else they might be trying to influence ;)

Umm, yes.
To have players on PL wages throw the CL qualification would make it time to watch a different sport, or non-league stuff.

Yes - holding a twitter poll of guilty/not guilty, and also split between City/non-City, because that is always a reliable way of judging the clicks.

I get that and I guess he’s chosen his poll options very carefully. I guess we are guilty of something and therefore not innocent. Had he put ‘City are guilty of disguising equity funding’ as an option, would that have left him open to being put in his place by our lawyers?

Like all the ex dipper players or those openly supporting them to beat us in the tight title race going into games with them missing easy chances and letting in soft goals you mean...Umm, yes.

Lost over 2 legs, 2-2 at home and I think 2-1 away.
All I remember of the game was some Scot trying to buy my Programme off me as we'd sold out.
I've got the official pennant from the game somewhere.
It was given to me by Peter Swales when they were clearing out some of the old boardroom at Maine Road many years ago.
They also chucked out a damaged engraved carriage clock given to us by Chelsea for the 1971 Cup Winners Cup semi-final.
I'll have to ask my folks what happened to that. I kept it as a kid just gathering dust.

It’s sly of course; technically we did ‘do wrong’ by not co-operating, for good reason. He’ll twist his results however. Catch 22.

Not really. He's asking other people for an opinion - I expect it's easy to defend it because CAS is not a legal court, and the allegations can be characterised as 'not proved' rather than 'disproved'.

Not sure those are comparable, but supporting the team you're playing against must make life awkward on occasion.

I was more thinking that there is no way to confirm that anyone claiming to be a City fan on the poll actually is one. I don't even know if you have to be a twitter user to vote.
It's beyond sly, it's deliberately inviting deceit.

agreed 100% no surprise at all, at least from the fans.
I always wonder if the uppers are ever surprised by the bile thrown our way or if they're used to it by now!
