PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The problem is City are revenue obsessed at the minute, so I fear if the price was right they could be bought regardless of how they’ve United have tried to shaft us.
Every club in the league are revenue obsessed at the moment due to the ffp rules having an impact on most clubs.
Success does not come cheap, and if you want to be the best ,there's a price to pay.
Unfortunately us supporters are a victim of our success.
The choice is simple do we want to maintain our present position or are we happy to go back to the bad old days.
 
That weapon off CityXtra posted the below today. Is he claiming to be some sort of itk or is this just standard youtube bellend "give me attention" behaviour bollox

 
Bet if we agreed to ground share with them, the transport situation would get sorted quicker than it takes to walk from Piccadilly. In which case, we should offer to do it, then pull out once the transport situation is sorted!!
The 115 made up bullshit charges would also be dropped before the tribunal got started.
 
All this talk of United ground sharing with Livarpool or Everton really disregards the travel problems for the United fans in getting to Liverpool for home matches.

The only solution that will take pressure off the roads and rail services is for United to play their home matches at Wembley!

They may even decide to stay there?
We can only hope, though as well they will have to grounshare wembley with us every may whether they like it or not!

Ha, don't get me wrong. I don't really give a shit what Brexit Jim thinks of us, and there's obviously an ulterior motive for some of his quotes (probably because they might need to groundshare for a season or two if they rebuild Old Trafford). I just thought it was noteworthy in the context of this thread.
I was told last summer that united had approached both City and liverpool about a possible groundshare while OT was rebuilt on the existing footprint. Both clubs gave them a firm 'no'.
 
I'm saving this one for when we're cleared of all charges...

Dear BBC Panorama Team,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to you with a story suggestion that I believe warrants serious consideration for investigation by your esteemed program. As an avid follower of football and a concerned citizen, I urge the BBC Panorama team to explore the phenomenon of media bias and propaganda surrounding Manchester City Football Club and its impact on the wider footballing community.

In recent years, there has been growing evidence of a concerted effort by certain media outlets, particularly those associated with rival clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham, to discredit Manchester City Football Club through a relentless campaign of negative press and misinformation. This campaign, which I refer to as a "sportswashing media witch hunt," has had far-reaching implications for the club, its supporters, and the integrity of the sport itself.

The narrative propagated by these outlets portrays Manchester City as cheats and frauds, with the aim of influencing Premier League organizations and football fans across the country. This concerted effort, spearheaded by a cartel of clubs seeking to maintain their dominance, has created a toxic atmosphere of hostility and mistrust within the footballing community.

What is particularly troubling is the apparent collusion between certain media figures, ex-footballers, and representatives of rival clubs to perpetuate this narrative. Presenters and commentators affiliated with these clubs have utilized their platforms to disseminate biased views and unfounded allegations against Manchester City, further fuelling the campaign of misinformation.

Furthermore, there are concerns regarding the potential influence of former executives of rival clubs in key positions within the Premier League, which may have led to decisions and policies that unfairly target Manchester City. The implementation of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, for example, has raised serious questions about the integrity and fairness of the governing bodies entrusted with upholding the principles of the game.

I believe that a thorough investigation by the BBC Panorama team could shed light on these allegations and uncover any instances of media manipulation, institutional bias, or conflicts of interest within the footballing establishment. It is essential that the truth be exposed and that justice prevails, not only for the sake of Manchester City Football Club but for the integrity of football as a whole.

Thank you for considering this story suggestion. I am confident that the BBC Panorama team will approach this investigation with the professionalism and integrity that it deserves.

Yours sincerely,
I specifically logged in tonight instead of lurking to 'like' this, absolutely superb, can't wait to watch the Documentary in the near future, if and I mean a big if Panorama have got the balls to do it...

Not fair on the good people of London who are relived to get rid of them for 12hours, twice a month

Big Jim made his billions by turning Ethylene into chemicals and plastics. The E in INEOS (Inspec Ethylene Oxide Specialties) stands for Ethylene.

Ethylene is derived from crude oil and natural gas.


I would suggest the chances Jim has known Khaldoon, Sheikh Mansour et al for 20+ years and gets on very well with them are pretty high.

We also know that Mubadala, the investment fund Khaldoon heads up owns or used to own 10% of Raine Group, the company that handled the United takeover.

They're all old mates. A fossil fuels billionaire isn't going to have much bad to say about people who produce fossil fuels.

Did not the Panorama team do an expose of how City bought off high ranking officials at CAS, remember watching it and thinking , it is just a childish hatchet job which devalues everything they had done before.
 
Dear Manchester United,

We hear you might like to groundshare with us. Well, remember that letter you sent to uefa along with 8 other clubs......well you can share with pleasure. The price is £3m per match, plus repairing any damages wrought by your delightful supporters, plus an abject apology for leading the lies against us, plus a statement at every presser by your manager (whoever it is that week) that “We will not catch City in my lifetime.” plus 10% of your gross matchday revenue for the next ten years.

From all at Manchester City
Slightly updated.
