The club and its loyal support base will survive no matter what. I would point out however that a very negative outcome would inevitably have consequences for the owners. Let's hope the outcome is positive.

Anyone who has stood by this club when they were nothing (the real supporters) would be even more galvanized in their resolve to support them moving forward regardless the situation.

They’ve branded Sheikh Mansour a fraudster with these charges. Claiming that he, the board, our sponsors, various partners and auditors colluded to create a false picture on the clubs accounts from 2009 to 2018.

This is Mansour who is head of the 4th largest sovereign wealth fund in the world and has the leaders of the free world on speed dial. These charges are coming from an organisation that operates outside the law of the land as far as its rule book goes. Read that all back and you realise what a load of shite this is.

I had a Scalextric in a figure of eight. My dad used to cheat by picking his car off the top of the bridge and putting it back at the bottom, half a lap ahead. Bastard.

I’m moving house soon and as such have had to empty the loft, twat of a job it was I found two huge boxes of track and a box of cars the lads had when they were young
My memories of this was we could never get the fucking thing to work more than two laps. Spent more time fucking about with the cars than actual racing.
Off to the tip it goes thank fuk.

Edit: not city related apologies

Not only was i jealous of other kids that had Scalextric, i was also jealous of kids that had train sets and action man. This one kid had a big garden and he had action man tanks and all sorts. I did get to play with them one time but he controlled everything so i never went back to his house. rich git.

People label it as cheating but it's not really is it? It's trying to work with ever changing financial rules and restraints that were bum.rushed through to stall our progress. Rules that didn't exist when the redshirts were the biggest kids on the block and spending more than everybody else. As soon as they were challenged the new rules came in. So far only the premier league has been PROVED to have acted illegally. Cheating is buying off officials or players from other clubs to influence results in our favour. Of course deep down even our fiercest critics know this, but instead of admitting we've just done everything better than them on and off the field and played magnificent football doing so, it eases their own minds by calling us cheats. It gives them an excuse for their abject failure. Hope that's clarified it for you.

That's pretty much what's keeping me sane in all this. Not a chance that Silverlake, the Chinese investors, all our sponsors, BDO LLP and the rest have all turned a blind eye to gross misconduct in their audits so we can buy an extra player or two. To most people on here Manchester City are our lives but to the above we are just another investment.
