PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Doctor Jimmy and Mr Jim]

Whilst I agree with your point, you have to consider the influence of United and Liverpool who either have their own former staff in the Premier League, UEFA or in the case of the Premier League can sanction senior appointments. They’re also effectively holding a Super League gun at the Premier League head. It’s almost like a “if it’s not my train set I’ll break it” attitude. Common sense goes out of the window. They honestly believe the footballing world want to see United v Bayern or Liverpool v Barcelona every week. Maybe they’re right but that’s when I take up fishing.

And you'll probably be joined by Phil and young Ronnie :O)

Didn’t we miss a pen & by miss it I mean send the keeper the wrong way but it’s that slow he got up, smoked a fag then dived the right way.

Might have dreamt it ;)

Missed a pen in the reverse fixture, Kinky had it saved by their keeper.

Yeah I mean as far as reaches go, it is as good as any. But it is still just a reach.

Happy to be proven wrong, but I think it is just an inevitable stage in the repeat cycle of this thread/theme.

Probably true. Still can debate the merits, I guess.

Has he been since ripping his ticket up? :-)

When we get relegated, I'm not ripping my phone up in front of Soriano!

It is another example of the power of the press. Last time at CAS, I don't think there was more than one 'journalist' that punted the idea that we may even be innocent of the charges and post verdict, why we had not cooperated.
The takeaway from the verdict wasn't the 11 times the panel used the word innocent, but the idea, we somehow got off!

Move on a couple of years, and it is all happening again and the 'ordinary ' football supporter doesn't question all these hacks, will most likely be wrong again.

The public have a short memory (see political journalism) and see what they want to, but these feckers fuel it and are the reason there is so much hate in the world - and certainly football.

Isn't he the bellend who said it wasn't Liverpool fans that caused the Heysel tragedy?

Yes the pisshead who used to work for the Independent i think.

I wouldn't be able to climb down from the third tier. :-)

Its why every opposition fan states we got off cause things were time barred. They don't actually read the CAS findings that clears us of everything they did judge on apart from non co operation, more importantly that they didn't make a judgement over time barred charges due to them being exactly that.

The media pedal that means we are guilty but no charges due to being time barred when reality is we could be just as 'not guilty' on those charges as the charges they did rule on and cleared us on.

Reality is 99.9% of any opposition fans commenting on the CAS judgement haven't read a single word of it and take their facts from the likes of the daily mail and carragher.

Paul Butler header wasn't it?

Christ where did I drag that up from

Own goal

 

[Centurions]

I thought this all happened pre GDPR?

The DPA existed pre GDPR, data protection isn't something new.

 

[Kompany & co]

Why don't the red shirts sign some dodgy accountants. Because according to them that's what wins titles.

It's basically like a bullying campaign. Imagine an individual being publicly smeared like this on a daily basis. It shows you that football tribalism has a very dark side. The smear campaign against City is not sport coverage. It is a clear attempt to appease fans of the red cartel and spoil City's fantastic legacy. I would be very interested to see the internal communications/briefings by newspaper editors and radio show producers regarding the narrative they want the pundits and journalists to adhere to. It won't make pleasant reading. Perhaps some hacker can do some digging for us LOL

Yes I know, just thought I’d missed something date-wise when people were mentioning GDPR.

Has he been since ripping his ticket up? :-)

The last I heard he was living in Southport

Still supports City, but would rather watch non league football at Haig Avenue

Has he been since ripping his ticket up? :-)

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

From (admittedly dodgy) memory, wasn't that the game where the guy ripped up his season ticket on the pitch at the end?

Pretty sure it was that game. And then the club taped it back together and, as the story has it, sent it back to him with a note saying "Here's your ticket back. If we have to watch this rubbish then so do you"

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Because we've signed them all on retainer.

Shush. Do you want the media to know that?

If you look on social media you will see posts that show the rulings underlined in yellow so the accusers can easily see the rulings. The haters just ignore them and carry on because they just want a guilty verdict, they have no interest in the truth.

The number of msm hacks outraged at Klopp's shower having an inconvenient k.o. time is beyond belief. No mention of the reason, and even so-called top journos like Marcotti while telling Klopp he should take it up with his club for agreeing the present deal, failed to mention the behaviour of Liverpool supporters as the reason why it's a midday kick off.

Scum bags chasing clicks for money are the main reason for the hate stirred up between fans. They have a lot to answer for.

Will we go back to umbro kits when we go down?

You last paragraph is spot on. The press/media are stirring up hate and are happy to do it.

If the dippers coach attack had happened in the 70's and 80's it would have been on National news all week. The Prime minister would be calling for the dippers to be kick out. The press/media would be calling for arrests.

Instead Hillsborough happened and it gave the dippers their get out of jail card. And fucking hell dont they play it. Press/media wont say a word against them. Ex player can even spit in young girls face and keep his job.

It fucking stinks
