PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Last time I was in Jordan told me he is writing a book on FFP and that his view has "evolved" over time. I don't think it is anything to do with letters. And to be honest had they had a letter, I suspect they would have told me because it would have been relevant to know ("if we get on to City please be careful" or whatever). Either way, Jordan's change of position is not brand new.

Is this one of those, what a difference a comma can make, jokes?
 
Just looked at the 115 thread on the caff. And there's a post on there showing the tweet of a video shot by a blue at Forest of our fans chanting at the Forest fans about their club's misdemeanours, and the poster on the caff criticising our lack of self awareness. You really couldn't make it up, could you? That's why they'll never be us; they can only dream of being us. Inbreeding really does have consequences.

Like Marvin Gaye and most others, I don't know what's going on but I get the feeling that there's lots of positives for us behind the scenes, presumably showing up the 'charges' for what they are. Either way, lovely to see goldbridge squirming like a **** and that is totally genuine, his body language is there for all to see. Come on City, nail these fuckers once and for all

I agree and I also don’t think he is bright enough to pretend to have one. The way he’s changed his tune has been marked.

Yep. More likely that Jordan has been educated by someone who actually knows his onions. Now I wonder who that could be ;)

City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with 130 FFP breaches | Hearing concluded | Awaiting outcome

It's obviously 'hilarious banter' but probably born out of arrogance and a belief not much'll happen to them.

Mancunians get the irony.

That’s where their fans fail!

Lead by the nose, thick as the proverbial pigshit, Stretford meatheads.

Yet another **** who doesn’t get our world-famous self-deprecating sense of humour.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Liverpool weren’t a rival on the pitch at the time and City settling for £1m was perhaps because we didn’t perceive them to be a big threat. They finished something like 8th in 2012/13, whereas we finished 2nd. If it had been United employees who had done it, we’d have kicked up a lot more of a stink about it IMO. It was a serious miscalculation on City’s part as the very next season Liverpool went toe-to-toe with us for the title and have subsequently tried to ruin us in other ways.

Yeah that’s my view too mate. Organisations make calls based on the information before them at the time and cannot possibly be expected to anticipate how matters will develop. I expect it was seen as an irritation and an act of egregious disrespect at the time, rather than anything that could be a real threat to our hegemony.

And looking back, it was actually a serendipitous decision as (assuming the act gave Liverpool added impetus, which I think it did) it has given us a consequent rivalry which contains three epic title races (four, if you include this season) where we have come out on top - with some truly incredible memories along the way.

And Liverpool got to lift the PL trophy in an empty stadium.

Seems like poetic justice to me.

I've 'liked' your post because I endorse the sentiment expressed in your final sentence (!!) but also mainly because you include a mention for what is arguably a contender for being 'The Greatest Album of All Time'*, namely Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On' (* nb, other contenders are available..)

Were I to be wearing one, my cap would be doffed in your general direction, sir..

Anyway, back on thread, the English Red Cartel is a bunch of self-entitled twunts and to borrow from Santana, they deserve 'Everything (that's) coming (their) way..'

Jordan writing a book on FFP, sorry, I have to chuckle at that

I thought the chant was comedy gold. Sheer genius

Will hope to see it published after I’ve finished Liz Truss’ new blockbuster.
