PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Mr Kobayashi]

Who's to say there isn't a knock on their door tmrw!

I'm willing to take the risk, they've just signed a whole squad. :)

 

[Mr. Shush]

What will be, will be...

Think of the positives though.

No more annoying tourists taking selfies during the games.

Those cringe half and half scarves.

The return of Blues priced out of the game.

Hopefully our legal team gets this thrown in the bin where it belongs. I will say that, as a supporter in the US, City has a sizable following. And its growing. Certainly no excuses for selfies during the game. We were all set to make a pilgrimage to Manchester but pandemic hit and we've been trying to plan to go ever since. Even if we were in the Championship, we would still go. Hell, we would go no matter what.

Me and my mates discussing this in our WhatsApp group at the moment. A number of them haven’t had season tickets for years but have said they’d get one again if we got relegated.

Imagine if we still filled 54,000 in the Championship, all raucous local Blues plus the hardcore that have still been able to afford to stay season ticket holders up to this day… our atmosphere would be fucking mint.

I’m almost warming to the idea!

Yep, me and my pals are the same. Had enough of bulls##t every other year.

 

[Damanino]

it is clear PL was advised on this by Pool, United owners, Levy, Kroenke etc.

and we agreed to brush it under the carpet when Liverpool hacked us few years ago. like a quiet background agreement they paid us 1 mill or so.

had it been the other way Liverpool would have asked PL and media to ban us on it.

its because we want to fit in, we want to be liked. instead of that we shouldnt give a shit about the rest and if anything we should stick a kitchen knife in their back when they dont see us.

 

[Bluesbrother]

A paid up Arsenal supporter is apparently going to be the judge and jury in City's case. Talk about own goals , surely the PL should have thought this through a bit more.

Any decision he makes will be at best considered biased. Its impossible to be independent when you have an allegiance to a rival. That's surely one of the fundamentals in any fair adjudication. And will only increase the chance of further legal action and appeal by City pending any guilty findings whatsoever.

Didn't Arsenal do us over in the early 1900's and we had to sell a number of our players

 

[john blue]

It’s easy to blame others but IF we have broken the rules we should be directing our anger to our own organisation for ever thinking this was acceptable.

And dont forget , pep said , he will be gone , if we have fed him bullshit.

 

[LongsightM13]

So with City's response to this (including high position sources) in mind, is everyone feeling a lit better than this morning? I know I certainly am.

The big lads with balls as big as church bells have been sanguine all along…
Some of the hysterical chicken licken shit on here today has been hilarious

 

[SidJames]

They couldn’t find a buyer for the price they wanted

FSG making the announcement with this coming our way.

Timing seems fucky to me.

Us out the way benefits them greatly.

Rotherham away on the Saturday followed by Real Madrid in the Bernabeu on the Wednesday. Which game will we rest players for?

There used to be a UEFA rule that CL clubs had to be in the top division. May be extant.

 

[A57 the snake]

Went to bed when the story broke, woke up to headlines like - "Guardiola odds on to leave City", "Relegation threatened Manchester City" as so on and so forth, it's that scripted it's not even subtle anymore. I'm just of the opinion fuck them all. The PL, the usual cartel of clubs behind it etc.

Take the gloves off and burn the whole thing to the ground. We've played the nice guy role for far to long time we fought back and destroyed the entire thing.

They've come for us before and lost, and all of this bollocks doesn't change who we are.

We're Manchester City, we fight til the end.

Indeed we do indeed we shall !!

 

[Metalartin]

So my initial impression, is that those who know their onions on these matters are saying this will drag on far longer than it did to get to CAS, before this is resolved(2 years was taking the piss as it is). They are also, less confident that City will come out of this unscathed. Is that correct? I really can't be bothered with this.

This all reeks of trying to appease the very clubs and owners who got off scot free for instigating the push for the ESL. As well as the influence of suits that were placed on the PL boards, by those very same clubs. Maybe it's time to address that, the PL should be independent of club ties.

No CEO should be crowing that "The league needs a strong United" with a sad face, how ironic is that? One minute they are saying this is a sport, level playing field, fairness that(big joke that). The next they are showing every bit, that they are business first and they look after the interests of 3 particular clubs above all others. That has to change.

you will love a visit to moss road or the shay much more than boring old anfield or villa park

embrace our non league posibilities, the prems dull anyway.

I think that was Villa

Not me. This has been building for years and it's a very detailed set of accusations. The pre-briefing that has happened is incredibly unprofessional for an organisation like the PL. You can also smell American owner's fingers all over it. I've said for some considerable time that the biggest danger to the PL is American owners. They lost their battle with Newcastle and will be doubling down on this one. There's a lot at stake here.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

They are going in for the kill, they want to destroy us. But why us? Fuck football, I give up!

If the premier league are going back on accusations and incidents from years gone by then i'm confident they will revisit the tramps hacking our database.
Only fair isn't it!

I'd stick a knife in everyone of the hateful 8 - Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Leicester, Newcastle (and Burnley when they come back up).

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

They are also changing the fit and proper persons test, coming to a panel near you soon.

There's always the £3bn a year Championship Invitational League which we could start!

Sunderland
Rangers
Celtic
Birmingham
Bolton
Stoke
Everton
QPR
Derby
Leeds
Forest
Blackburn
Middlesbrough
Sheff Weds
Sheff United
Ipswich
Preston
Bristol City
City
Burnley


Be some fucking mental aways and we could always cap tickets for all at £20.

 

[jrb]

I’d be more than happy if they dumped us in the 4th tier. Bring it on.
MCFC- OK.

Bring it on.

Spend much as we like.

50,000 crowds.

Win all our games.

Win the titles.

Some great away trips.

Then get back into the PL and go again.

Fuck em!

You should be made welcome Mr S
