I think you are right.
I am so down at the moment, maybe need some down time from here
I know mate. It was easier to shrug it off when we were doing well and I think we fans are getting as fatigued as the team. My late dad always used to say "99% of fears never come true" which may have been statistical bollocks but the principle is true. Hang in there.

They have 6 e-mails, if they had more we'd know about it. Bit of perspective.But Juventus they were the top dog running the football over there
We all know Manchester City is not a powerhouse club in the Premier League and has little say in the rules and changes made., We also know United are the main power in the Premier League and don't want us building a history better than theirs,
100% if we are found guilty it will finish Manchester City and Sheik Mansour owning the club, they don't just want punishment us, but they want to finish us and make us that little old city again.
Forget the investment and infrastructure or shareholdings because they will be worthless if found guilty
The scariest thing is it could all end overnight and everything would be a major problem: Manchester City would be left penniless and all the money gone.
Yes the stadium will be finished and over 60.000 capacity, but we would never fill it in the championship and the corporate and hospitality would struggle and it would have to be closed because of the cost of running it on match days.
A Guilty Verdict would be a life sentence
We got the metro but only after messing about for 2 or 3 hours trying to get a bus and then we were pissing about for a while near taksim square before we got a message saying get to Nevizade street now!!!I was lucky and used the Metro rather than the buses - I got back hours before you!!
People kept arriving and talking about how utter shit the bus option was
Looking at how these cases tend to be decided, the penalties are quite well trodden and directly related to the breaches. Transfer bans don’t match the allegations.They could do anything they like because this would be a major footballing crime the likes nothing before
The Premier League would have to obey to United and Liverpool and they would want maximum damages
its only in the past couple of months that I have had nightmares about what all this could do to our club.
How could the ownership of the club still be in charge? or should I say would the fans still want them here because we have been lied to,
Also if we are found guilty and forget any appeal, We would be found guilty and that is good enough for the rest of the Premier League job done,
They have far more than 6 emailsThey have 6 e-mails, if they had more we'd know about it. Bit of perspective.

Put the Sherry away.
It’s not even Christmas yet.
Remove all doubt by getting acquitted and we can really crack on without any repercussions. Part of the lack of quality team investments is also partially down to players turning us down. The board will have no issues of spending either.

Opinion not fact again Ray ?
As always opinion but again there is a grain of truth in it. We will have more wriggle room if we get ourselves clear of the rest of the charges.Opinion not fact again Ray ?

No fuckers ever asked me. ;)Why didn’t you mention all that before?

I am sure that is true, but what's that likely to consist of? More emails? Bank transactions? Audited bank accounts? Whistle blower testimonies?They have far more than 6 emails
On the basis that there were circa 5m documents in play from Rui Pinto's hacking and only 6 were used by UEFA, where have the other documents/evidence come from?
I am not trying to be clever, I am just interested in your expert opinion on this. Thanks in advance.
Technically CFG and city are seperateCFG own half of the coop live. It is true that we can’t count any of its revenue in our figures hence the new development.

So did UEFA presumably.They have far more than 6 emails
Probably not mate. Log on after a couple of hours away and the swingometer is over the other side, usually for no reason.Why has this negativity risen it's head again.Seriously have I missed something
Not necessarily. Disclosure in the PL case is massively more. Hence 12 weeks. Thousands of emails and docsSo did UEFA presumably.

I wish to disclose that I’ve had my pre Xmas brunch with my surviving family- niece and nephew. Enough booze to float a small battleship. Tons of banter about our crapness as they are both reds, my smugness as Bournemouth handed out another lesson at the swamp. Moral of post. I love my remaining family: I will be there next year our lord permitting and I will continue to bleed City blood. Life is short, Take some time off from speculation now for a week or so and concentrate on what’s really important and what you can actually touch and influence. And yes I am very pissed and emotional. God bless you all.Not necessarily. Disclosure in the PL case is massively more. Hence 12 weeks. Thousands of emails and docs
They will have come from the disclosure exercise City will have been required to be part of. City will have disclosed thousands of emails and other documents searched by key word, custodian and time ranges.I am sure that is true, but what's that likely to consist of? More emails? Bank transactions? Audited bank accounts? Whistle blower testimonies?
