The author of the Guardian article below is Barney Ronay, a founder member of the anti-Arab cabal of sports journos who have been gaslighting City’s owners since they took over the club in 2008 and it gives me a chance to quote the combined wisdom of our learned members GDM & Petrusha on this subject from another thread,
Premier League’s greed may consume it as Manchester City’s date with destiny looms | Barney Ronay
Ominous news that those epic financial charges will be judged, eventually, feels like an existential threat for league and clubwww.theguardian.com
"Actually we know very little about the current PL charges against us except that they are almost certainly a fishing expedition. In his piece he complains that City are likely to 'get off' because we have the money to hire top lawyers to defend us. It seems not to have occurred to the clown that we might just have had the money to engage top lawyers to ensure we didn't breach the rules in the first place."

MARTIN SAMUEL - CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: This is not over. There is still a Premier League investigation into City ongoing. There is still a chance to pressurise.www.dailymail.co.uk
The truth is is that the FFP regulations were specifically put in place by a legion of highly paid and skilled UEFA legal & accounting advisers enlisted by the cartel of elite ‘legacy’ clubs to stop us competing with them. This shitshow should have been dropped years ago when the identical UEFA version was shown to be a pack of lies, confected by thieves for the cartel. Rui Pinto, the Portugese extortionist paid by them to hack City’s emails is now in jail. The whole process since has been conducted s in such a way that it's easy for hostile parasite media outlets and venal commercial rivals to smear us without the club being able to defend itself.
"We've had five years now of frenzied and fundamentally mendacious coverage, in which even issues such as the CAS verdict have been presented by the media with implacable dishonesty. Now, if it does turn out that there's evidence not yet publicly available to indicate that City are guilty of some of the more serious charges against us, then fine - we'll be punished accordingly and will deserve it. The point is that the media, in the utmost bad faith, wants us convicted irrespective of whether the evidence justifies it - utterly deplorable in its sickening chicanery.
There is literally nothing whatsoever in circulation that remotely points to the charges even constituting a case to answer - and yet I have not seen a single article that raises that as an issue. Not one, the whole of the MSM accepts the charges as being meritorious without even knowing a single thing about their substance or merit.
The cartel and its parasite media have deliberately created a febrile atmosphere in which all hell will break loose if the proceedings don't end with City expelled from the PL or, at the very least, suffering a severe points deduction. It's shameful given the absence of facts about the PL case currently in the public domain."
They are going to be very very disappointed.

"If Pep Guardiola’s club can keep dodging these punishments, despite pumping mouth-watering sums of money into the game with regularity, then surely someone as capable as superstar lawyer Laurence Rabinowitz can do the same for Everton."
I hope the fuckin Scouse Gimps get relegated! ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯

If the findings are that City were totally innocent, and fans of this club having put up with this denigration of our club during its best ever period, putting up with hatred, actual hatred from some reporters.. I think City fans would be very angry tbh.The author of the Guardian article below is Barney Ronay, a founder member of the anti-Arab cabal of sports journos who have been gaslighting City’s owners since they took over the club in 2008 and it gives me a chance to quote the combined wisdom of our learned members GDM & Petrusha on this subject from another thread,

It's "eye watering" you illiterate scouse cunts. Your mouths might be watering but thats because you breathe through yours.
Wasn't our last none profit making season over 5 years ago? Hardly pumping money we haven't earned in regularly then is it?
The whole statement is fucking bollox made up by know nothings who need a scapegoat for their own abject failings in business acumen.
Go figure.

Are you suggesting the press people may be attacked and assaulted by our fans if we are found innocent? because tbf that is the sort of sad shit the MiBs or Liverpool fans get up to.
We have always been more piss taking than shithouse.
Or do you mean the club will ban them, which really they should have already tbf

The ones that make the most noise about us have hated us since 2008 and been calling us cheats and such for nearly 16 years, many blues have been angry at the cunts for a while, what will be the biggest pisstake is lile with CAS they will ignore the verdict if we are innocent amd revert back to human right abuse or AEU being on ok terms with Russia or some.other stick to beat us, not one appolgy given or contrition will be shown
I was non specific. Personally I favour surrounding the press box chanting “ Liar liar pants on fire” for a whole season.

Hmmm. Fans of rival clubs spouting off online. Let me think about that for a millisecond....

That will only become relevant when City fans claim to support "an anti-establishment" club.

Perhaps someone should point out to them the difference between being found guilty and punished and still to have the hearing?

We should absolutely hammer the media for their part in it. Hire a production company to do a documentary in the same style the anti-City one was done, that would be very apt. Funding could be done via a 'go fund me', by City fans. That would mean more than if the club paid for it(though there's nothing stopping Khaldoon donating ;) ). Get them to do a full run down on what was written about the club, how unsubstantiated the claims were(what was missing, to make the claims they made), the one sidedness of it, the ferocity of it compared to other examples. Such as Liverpool falling outside the break even limit in 2014, the Stanley Park book cooking, the hacking scandal, maybe even the inhaler conspiracy. The United FFP breach(it's like that never happened already). The betting 'shell companies' that sponsored United and Arsenal etc. Even the Chelsea scandal, because the press/sky/bbc/talksport don't give a shit in comparison. Also, what was written about the fans. Followed by a compilation of attacks on City fans and employees that took place since their relentless hate-mongering campaign began in 2019(could start sooner but we don't need to go full Liverpool with it).
They will no doubt claim we are being sensational with it(which would be ironic given their profession), that they can't be held responsible for other people's actions. Which we would be in a sense(some of their own medicine is exactly what they deserve, to make them see the errors of their ways, hopefully). However, they know damn well who their target audience is and how easily the knuckle draggers can be persuaded into certain lines of thought(they make a living off it). Such as City are villains and City fans have been weaponised by the state Abu Dhabi. Some of these idiots clearly do think it's anything goes because of the way the club and it's fanbase has been portrayed for so long. Unprovoked verbal abuse and taunts even on non match days seems quite common if you're wearing a City shirt in some quarters. It seems more silly to think, that this anti-city media campaign had 'nothing at all' to do with some of the attacks that have taken place, since they took it into overdrive in 2019. From what I remember, they've all come after City wins, across multiple competitions(FA cup, CL, PL), against City fans of multiple age groups. Not even kids(Villa) or the elderly(Club Brugge?) are off limits to them it seems.
