PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The only clubs outside of the traditional top 4 to win the Premier League since it began over 30 years ago is us and Leicester. Blackburn only won it back in the day because they spent a ton under Jack Walker.

I haven't studied the subject in depth but my impression is that, on the odd occasion you get a surprise winner, their carcase is immediately picked at by the richest predators so that success can't be sustained without continuous investment for a number of years to fend them off. Made impossible, of course, by FFP.
 
Thats bile, you d get better information from an open conversation down the local. Snivelling bias gobshites who are getting giddy because they dream of getting something out of this. It is pathetic, none of them should even have a platform to voice their sad inflated opinions.

**** in relation to the nev/carra talkshow ****

It’s us a can of worms but these history clubs don’t give a shit! They’ve paid the media last 10 years to write lies continually!

So all this now all this shit coming our way and how long it takes they don’t care they’ll be loving it..

It’s the American way take out the threat the competition!

I hate to break it to you and others mate, but these history clubs don't pay the media.

They don't need any help or motivation to write shit about City.

We are simply gatecrashers to a closed shop and that familiarity with them means clicks mean pounds for them.

A generation of brain washed gimps, trying to smear City's achievements and ensure the current and next generations aren't Blues.

Clear and obvious...

I’m not one to usually post on forums, in fact this is actually the first time, but with everything that has transpired over the past few days coupled with the flagrant arrogance of football ‘fans’ i’ve felt compelled to respond.

I won’t go down the road of emphasising the misery it brought me at school, although relevant it’s hardly exclusive, but what I will focus on are the sheer levels of hypocrisy that are emerging, hypocrisy that we all knew existed but couldn’t truly demonstrate because one club was state owned (originally) and another was bankrolled by a horrendous group of incestuous yank capitalists.

During the past decade Manchester City have produced the best football ever witnessed, scored the most goals and essentially made a mockery of an English pyramid headed by two teams in Red, both dominant in respective decades due to the majority of investment and all the perks that it brings - better players, trophies, more fans - similar to ourselves although we still can’t sell out our stadium allegedly (heard some ball bag on the radio the other night claim we only get 30,000) but we’ve never been truly allowed to appreciate it.

Certainly amongst ourselves we have rejoiced: QPR, Villa, Leicester, Liverpool, United etc but there’s never been a moment where we’ve not had to suffer the ignominy of a loutish fat tosser down the boozer who so flippantly decries our achievements as being tinged with falsities, arab money, financial tampering, inflated sponsors (words he can’t even spell let alone understand) or; when faced with some facts that he struggles to dispute, barks treble or twenty times in our face like a petulant child, remnants of last night’s dinner still smeared around their mouth, before slinking off with their fellow minions, fortified by the fact that we’re yet to win the champions league.

Dealing with people like this is allegedly part and parcel of the sport, working class ribbing and ‘friendly banter’ to be expected amongst rival fans… except that it’s not, it’s tiresome, absorbing and ultimately annoying to the extent that it has literally sucks the fun out of it all, a bitterness echoing loudly in the streets, on social media, on whatsapp, in the boozers and at work, fully grown men and women focusing their jealously through petty barbs, goading people into responding to try and deflect their own pettiness and insecurities.

I’ve maintained for a long time that there are no truly decent rags and I’d like to think that over the past few days that any lingering doubts people have had to the contrary have been extinguished. Having to listen to people try to explain something to me that they know even less about than I do is tiring enough but when you’re also faced with a bombardment of populist media shills and ex-players, let alone the very organisation that your football has done so much enhance the brand of, then I could be forgiven for giving up and just accepting the inevitable.

But then the final piece of the jigsaw fell into place and all the ‘coincidences’, the collusion and corruption finally jumped right out and smacked me in the face… Qatari investment. All the false sentiments and morality, the things we’d known for so long that were simple mechanisms to try to mask their spite finally shone through. I mean, we should have known it was coming when the media tried to condition the public into believing that it was because of City and Newcastle that clubs like Liverpool and United had no choice but to seek state investment, as though they were forced into it.

Make no mistake the timing of Monday’s announcement, the delay to the Independent Regulator, the two week window it potentially gives the Qatari’s to meet the Glazer’s deadline, displace the Governments dependence on one State’s finances by shifting it another - may sound a tad too conspiratorial but can anyone truly pretend they don’t agree?

If the above goes through, which it most probably will, all the murmurs of human rights violations will disappear, vanish as though they never existed and the truth will present itself because all this has ever been about is no longer being the best… like the most popular child at school suddenly losing his grip on his peers, the only way to try to regain that is through manipulation and lies.

Personally I believe we’ll prove our innocence but on the back of this it’ll instil a whole new level of tribalism and toxicity and so we must never forget the way we’ve been treated. Never pretend that this was okay and never lose sight of the fact that we were there when we were shit! MCFC. x

It’s this TH,………Khaldoon in the dock, and would it be others? that is blinding my thoughts, it keeps coming back to this, these are serious allegations, fraud, talking prison stretches here, won’t ever be trusted again in the business world, That’s not just Jesus, that’s Jesus Mary and Joseph!, we are getting so many extremes in the media, from what could lead to this scenario above to someone like Solkeh ( pardon the spelling) saying “ most people think it will be a couple of points deduction“ I was really surprised by that yesterday, I know people think he is a know nowt, but i thought that statement was the most bizarre thing of all the shit flying around yesterday , but what the friggin hell do I know

More than that **** mate.
 
we wanted to fit in, we wanted to be liked for so long. this is where it got us...
Soriano built zero bridges in football politics in last 10 years, if anything they hate us now more than at the beginning.
our whole club PR is a sham, everyone and his dog was spouting lies about us to no end for years in media, twitter etc.

Apologies if already posted - thought Stephen (@twosips) did well here. I couldn't be in a room with a load of fans who have already decided we're guilty (because they want to believe this recent domination on the pitch has been doped by some marketing deals off it?!) and smirking their way into debates with snide digs. Carragher included. And especially that Spurs fan who, for some reason, thinks they've been held back by City over the past 15 years when they've challenged for the league once and beaten by fucking Leicester. Bottlejobs.

Fair play to Neville too (I know) who calls out FFP for what it is. A scheme to keep certain clubs at the top of the pile while the rest have to sit and watch playing happy families.

Again, as I said yesterday, it boils down to a man being told he isn't allowed to spend his money how he wants to and because of that supposedly breaking these made-up, self-protective rules to be able to compete. Let that sink in. A load of horseshit.

I thought @twosips (who blocked me on Twitter for **ck all ) spoke really well on the overlap to be honest. Just a shame he didn’t mention the £50m stadium costs Liverpool used to get through FFP.

The Super League isn't happening. This is simply a play to redress the balance in the Premier League towards those clubs who believe they are the reason for the large TV deals in the first instance.

Each of the English clubs who signed up for the Super League were eventually forced to come back with their tails between their legs and sign an agreement not to try again, with a £300m fine for any such attempt.

So now they want a Super League under the umbrella of the Premier League, where mid to lower teams will vote for the vested interests of keeping United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and the Murderers in the equation.

City are the fall guy for it. Whether to take us to the wall or render us uncompetitive on and off the pitch for a period of time that provides no threat and tarred forever.

We want an independent regulator.

Even clubs like West Ham and Bournemouth don't want that.

Turkeys will always vote for Christmas, even if means taking their chances the butcher won't put them on the chopping block for a while.

How about Primer plus league ?
2 times more money and many more ?hateful 8 not invited.
 
The rabbit hole tin foil conspiracy brigade who delight us all at every opportunity with some shit meme on social media about how they never believe MSM and only ever 'research for the truth' these days have certainly dropped their guard with this one.

Reminds me of this (no offence):

You cannot hope to bribe or twist

(thank God!) the British journalist.

But, seeing what the man will do

unbribed, there’s no occasion to
 
Not sure it's been mentioned but upon reading into these charges some of them are down to us not complying with UEFA's FFP rules is that correct? If so then what the fuck does that have to do with the premier league? So if a club breaks the UEFA FFP rules and get punished with fines, points deductions etc then that club can/will then get nailed a 2nd time with further punishment from a totally separate organisation? That's absolutely outrageous... So UEFA can't punish us over a certain time period and therefore no punishment but the premier league can stroll in and issue punishments for breaching another organisations rules even though the organisation who's rules have been breached have issued zero punishment?! Absolute fuckin madness by an organisation that doesn't believe in double jeopardy for a penalty and a red card as they don't believe in being punished twice absolutely laughable... Maybe they should introduce that jeopardy rule into their own FFP rules eh the wankers.
