It shouldn’t be though it should be done and dusted before the start of next season .......... what happens if you lot are found guilty and win more trophies along the way say it goes on for years do they take them off you ?????
Will players actually wanna come or stay with this hanging over your head ????
The media a few years of hateful bullshit do you lot deserve years of it ????

Sorry it needs sorting within the next few months for the sake of everyone ........ I personally think there maybe be something but I very much doubt it will affect titles .......... relegations or points deductions ........... it will be a fine and no more
 
Im just consoling myself with the thought of all those salty tears from Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal fans if we get off these charges .
That would be my wanking material for many years to come

It would be cool for this all to get cleared up in a few months but unless the punishment consists of a fine and a telling off then there's no chance it's fully resolved by the summer.

Even then, can you imagine quite how much kicking and screaming there would be from the rest of the league if that's the kind of punishment they hand out after all this bluster?
 
The papers have already presumed guilt, announcing the punishments that rival club officials and fans believe we should be subjected to. Rival fans rejoice in the confirmation of their beliefs and prejudices. Fortunately, we have a right to defend ourselves, and we will, to the bitter end; into the breach, chaps, swathed in sky blue.

Martin Lipton who constantly slagged us off in the early years of the takeover, who was forever on the sunday supplement with his fuckin pissy little face and lisp spitting everywhere trying to control his rage about us.

Expect Neil Custis to be active on twitter throwing his fat red bastard views into the mix and talking shit like this lispy ****.

I hope they’re both at the game Sunday!
 
Don't know why we're challenging the allegations, the media shills, fans of every other club and no nowt pundits have us bang to rights.
Severe damage has been done to our clubs name, in that respect its part job done, this ain't ever gonna stop.
Hope we've still got a club to support on Sunday :)

I think the Twitter spaces chat was really helpful. It's bigger than I thought, so when people are saying relegation is a realistic outcome if found guilty they really mean that. The good news is the league realistically has to prove that we have knowingly and deliberately cooked the books at every level of the organization, that multiple parties have covered and lied about it, and that auditors and independent regulators of multiple companies have either been misled or failed to spot this. It's a huge set of claims that will need to be established, to the extent that even Stefan isn't sure that the premier league fully appreciate what they've set themselves up for. But if they can realistically demonstrate that this has been happening every season, year after year, then it's not a slap on the wrist.

Edit: from this chat, this line from CAS seems absolutely critical: if what the premier league are saying is true it would “mean that not only [Manchester City] lied to the [league] and UEFA, but also that accountancy firms such as BDO, Deloitte, Ernst & Young and AlixPartners […] were all misled". To which we might add and failed to identify that they were misled. This misleading isn't just within CFG, but in Etihad Airways and all the rest of the companies involved. It's very easy to sneer about this (ha ha, who is the Etihad owned by), but the implications are enormous in terms of geopolitical and business fallout for a three person panel to settle behind closed doors. You'd essentially be saying that half of the big four auditors and multiple organizations around the world have failed to spot City's wrongdoing and/or are complicit in their coverup. Big, international, mainstream businesses. It really is a huge claim.

It reflects even worse on the PL, who are supposed to be regulating their members' dealings. If the PL wants to avoid an independent regulator, openly admitting that they couldn't spot an alleged 9 successive years of dodgy accounts is a major own goal.

I know we have a City-centric view of the world, but I don’t think even this story will dominate the sports pages on a daily basis for two years bud - writers will have to write about other things at some point

True but if we play well or win anything though it’ll be the first thing that’s mentioned. Fuck them all anyway they won’t our days out whatever happens
 
The cunts have already done exactly why they wanted here.

Season disrupted, media onboard and onside, Pep leaving, points deductions, titles taken away and even relegation being touted as givens.

It really is time we took the gloves off and fought these cunts with everything we have.
 
Business as usual. All will be well.

I never realised how much City were prepared to divulge to CAS but weren't allowed to.

We need to get behind the lads these next few weeks, make it a real bear pit.

All I know is this as serious as it gets, in terms of them coming to bury us, but we do have the evidence to answer it all back.

The players had no knowledge of any such charges prior to Spurs.

They were just shit.

Avoid the media at all costs, will all be one sided jibes aimed at us. I hope the club run circles round the lot of them.

Liverpool fans crying about being cheated out of several leagues. Clowns the lot of them.

The Liverpool fans crying about the league titles are fucking pathetic. They weren't good enough on the pitch, I don't give a fuck about account "irregularities".

I agree TH, but even if they did it wouldn't have made a difference imo.
Players aren't fans, It's a job. They just had a really bad day at work.
They wont be out of work so they'll just go and ply their trade elsewhere and be well paid again.
 
Some premier clubs wanted sorted this season!? You know why because if found guilty chelsea Liverpool and spurs will believer that 5th place for chmps league be open plus Chelsea and Liverpool are in deep shit Especially chelsea if they don’t get top Four! also players purchases will be difficult for us! As always it’s about money self interest from those clubs !
