PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Did anyone else hear the rumour at the match Sunday of a 20 point deduction ruling?
I only heard it was told to a leading member of one of the supporters branches but I've not seen/heard it anywhere else since so I presume (pray) its just nonsense.

20 pts? Pfft.

I heard even worse. We're getting absolutely hammered, especially financially and given the rags are on the bones of their arse a deal has already been agreed with scruffy Jim to amalgamate both clubs. The new club will be called City United and we're going to sell our ground and complex, pay off the council and put the money into regenerating Old Trafford for both clubs to share.
Don't shoot the messenger!

I've heard that too mate.
Heard we've also got to take the rats that infest the swamp as new club mascots and we've also got to install an indoor waterfall..

I've seen a number of headlines this week, from major publications, about massive points deductions and fines. Then, in the smallprint, beneath the headline that suggests that City have been informed, lurks the author of the information. When you realise that it is the usual social media sites that yearn for clicks and likes, you realise the desperation. It remains true that not one publication is headlining stories of what will happen with a declaration of City's innocence.

Every article is just a desperate search for clicks, there's no point bothering reading any of them at this point.

Every single one mentioning the worst/best scenario (depending which side you support), but somewhere in the first paragraph, possibly the first sentence, will be the little word 'if'.

Not worth getting stressed or upset until those 2 letters stop appearing and there's an actual decision now. Dont give them the clicks.

I’m only having this if a senior member of a supporters branch told you.

Yes Bruno the king rat is going to be the captain and Rooney chief ambassador for the new club.

Exactly mate. I treat these articles as a laugh. There's always an "if" or "could" squirrelled away in the text.

That's spooky, this morning I was in ASDA Eastlands in the frozen food section and who should walk around the corner ? only the top man himself, Ferran Soriano, you couldn't miss him, he's about 7 foot tall. I asked him "any update big man on the 115 situation". The blood drained from his face, he replied in his best catalan, with a haunted look in his eyes...

"Qualsevol idea d'on són els dits de peix, em torna boig la manera com segueixen movent la maleïda secció de peixos..." - that's easy for you to say..(!!)

Your encounter with Ferran reminded me of Stanley Baxter's glorious language school course, 'Parliamo Glesga'.. had Txiki been there too it would've been a case of 'Erra perra toon coonsellors'.. ('Here are two City gentlemen'..!!)
