PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I think LB is almost as daft as Jordan, when the PL charged City with a 115+ charges the consequences changed, he says nothing happens if the PL fails, but that is wrong, just like if the charges are upheld each charge has a cost, and as the charges multiply the cost multiplies. But as each charge fails the cost to the PL goes up as well. The judge that took the gagging order away only added to City`s costs, so there is a good chance that the cost to the PL already out weight their belief in their case. A good reason why the PL might be seeking settlement, but i doubt City will accept any guilt, not even a taint of it.

That's LB's daftest video by some distance, I enjoy his output but he was scrapping the barrel for clicks here.

He'd be well advised to quietly delete this nugget of nonsense, not because of censorship, but to spare his blushes.
 
Just read on another forum a fan come on and saying that City report the highest match day revenue in the league, even more than United who have 20,000 more fans at their games.
Several people replied with the usual shite about us.

Googled our last set of accounts and Uniteds. Their match day revenue was almost double ours.

Amazing the amount of bullshit that's out there and is being believed.
Why fact check when you can report myths as truths to suit your agenda?

The joys of the internet, I'm afraid.
 
The good thing is that The Overlap episode can be filed as Exhibit A in any potential court case about reputation damage in the future...

I actually think he is looking for a new audience, seems he is looking at that knob Goldbridge and taking what he can use

I’m surprised you checked!

People can say what they want about us now. It’s like we are the club version of Raheem Sterling before he outed them.

Wait for “City CEO caught in shop buying bread while the Nation starves”

It’s all ridiculous.

However, once the investigation is finished and if we win, then it gets interesting to see who says what.
 
Here's a question. If the worst was to happen and we got relegated a division or two, which players would stay and which would go?

People will need to understand it’s not just about what the player wants. Most of our stars are brands. Many people, companies, businesses are involved with each of our players.
They also only have 1 career so be very interesting to see what happens.

To answer the question, I’d like to hope Kev and Gundo would stay as they are both of a certain age. Long time allegiances to the club and it would just cement their legacies if they stayed. Might mean more than money to them.

Foden would want too but he’d have to really give up a lot to stay.

Lewis also would probably stay.

John Stones I think could stay.

You’d have to accept Haaland, Bernardo, Rodri, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Ake, Akanji, Ederson, Grealish, Doku would all be off, each, for one reason or another.

They’d all go unless they were willing to play for free. Clubs outside the PL can’t afford £350m p/a in wages. The club would be literally kicking the likes of Haaland out the door.

There seems to be this narrative that we get relegated and then we get promoted and then within a couple of years we are back fighting for the title. It’s nonsense. Look at the rules that are in place now…look at Newcastle. If we go down, we are fucked.

just offset the wages into another season like Barca did
 
Doesn't matter to me.
I'd just go back to supporting chelsea.

If it was two divisions, every single one of them would leave. Including the local lads who are city fans.

I would say so. They couldn't afford to waste a minimum of two years of their short footballing life in the lower divisions. Peps contract expires this year so he would be off too, no matter what he says. Also the club wouldn't be able to afford their wages.
I watched a podcast with Sam Allardyce and some ex Sunderland player. Natalie Pike was hosting it. Both thought we'd win the case but a good point was made about points deductions if we didn't. If it was a large points deduction spread over a number of years that would effectively rule us out of winning the title for however long it lasted. That's because recently the points difference between first and second has been very small. So even a minus five points deduction each season would probably be enough to ensure we couldn't win it.

These are all worse case scenarios of course. Let's hope our case is as strong as we've been told and we have nothing to worry about.

It's not as black and white as that. The club would still be generating vastly more money than any other club in any league it was in due to sponsorship and other income streams. It is highly unlikely Etihad would turns its back on the club. Yes you would need to sell many top players, but that money would be reinvested. You don't need Haaland if you're in a lower league, you just need players who are better than anyone else in that league. Obviously none of this will happen as the owners know they've already escaped such fantasy sanctions, hence why they've just expanding the stadium
