Unlikely given Chelsea's massive expenditure.

So second place :D

 

[cheekybids]

Thought we have the biggest net spending since 2008, but not 100% sure.

They must fucking hate the Galacticos in Madrid & PSG?

What about the Rags who’ve spent a fortune for years is it due to the fake socialism of fans thinking they control the clubs when they clearly don’t.

 

[chesterbells]

You are right not to be confident!

I've listened to all 4 epsiodes and there wasn't anything new in there - just charting the history of City since the 70s. The joy of 93.20 and Champions League etc. Lot's of clipped contributions from the likes of Nedum, Parker, Cheeseman, Brobyn and Big Steve. All fine.

The biggest contribution was from the Der Spiegel guy who gave a rehash about the leaks and emails.Pearce a liar etc. He was his normal vindictive self and very supportive of Pinto. Yet again absolutely no take whatsover on our side of the story as documented so well on here.

Kieran Maguire clipped saying we could expect, in his view, a hefty points points penalty IF the IC finds against us for the more serious offences. They didn't play the other clip where he thinks it wil be very difficult for the PL to prove.
Di Marco didn't add anything of significance either.

Thanks for listening to it (so I don’t have to!). Appreciate that summary.

 

[Sebi]

You mean racism?

The problem is, that we have an advantage, because of the sheikh and we destroy football, because of that. That´s what I get.

TBF I never tire of the 93:20 clips etc as I hear them again for the millionth time :)

 

[TinFoilHat]

Yes thanks for sharing. It is worrying that the false narrative is circulated so widely across Europe. Mind you the well in Germany has been poisoned by the antics of the Bayern Munich Directors who have waged war on City for years.

Didi is an "ambassador" for the dippers.

That article could well be FSG written.

TNT are currently doing a PR piece on Ugarte with lots of cut aways to the rags celebrating winning trophies.

 

[petrusha]

Thanks I won't waste any time listening to it. Der Spiegel were discredited by the CAS case. The emails were dismissed totally by the independent Judges. Pinto was caught bang to rights trying to extort money and is still under investigation. I followed the court case in the Portugese media. The evidence against Pinto was overwhelming. He admitted the extortion charges. The BBC, who ignored the entire court case (despite carrying a large preview article smearing City), must think we are all fucking stupid.

I thought as soon as I saw that **** Winterbach listed among the contributors that I wouldn't be listening to it.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

There is nothing mystifying about it. We lost the best holding midfielder in the world along with all our defenders being crocked at various times, and having to bring them back when they are clearly not fit. Couple that with a midfield that have all gone over the hill together and you have what has happened this season. After the success of the Pep era he more than any manager in our history is allowed an off season. Although to listen to some on here you would think that he should be doing trebles every season.

Trebles,fecking trebles ??

I demand Quadruple's and Centurian seasons !!

Is the footage in black and white?

Nifty footwork there considering he was playing with ball with the consistency of a pudding.

 

[halfcenturyup]

He does seem a little obsessed.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Thanks for listening to it (so I don’t have to!). Appreciate that summary.

Same here.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

I thought as soon as I saw that **** Winterbach listed among the contributors that I wouldn't be listening to it.

Winterbach should have been challenged on why his publication focused heavily on just six (altered and out of context) emails about City out of a leaked cache which involved 90 million documents. He should also have been asked about the details of the legal settlement they made after being sued by Bayern Munich.

 

[journolud]

Anybody mentioned the end of the Rag era yet?

The Rags are irrelevant but wait until the Dippers clinch the league and we get all the start of a dynasty articles. Just like last time they won it

 

[citymad]

No 7 plays like Rashford.

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

Will be unbearable but you can't build a dynasty when at least 4 of your senior players are over 30/or at risk of leaving - VVD, TAA, Allison, Salah, Robertson to name a few

 

[its grim up north]

Yes thanks for sharing. It is worrying that the false narrative is circulated so widely across Europe. Mind you the well in Germany has been poisoned by the antics of the Bayern Munich Directors, one who has spent time in jail for fraud, who have waged war on City for years.

Slight edit. Hope you don't mind:-)

It felt to me as if it was just setting up a follow up podcast for when the decision is released. I couldn’t understand how that DS guy misunderstood league football so badly. He said himself that he couldn’t understand why City and their fans still wanted to compete in the PL due to our feelings towards the organisers when we all know that firstly there’s no other choice, you can only compete in the country’s league where you exist, and secondly it’s not the organisation per se, but the current incumbents running it.
