PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

City Raider said:
And that’s why, if successful, we still have to win the optics war - unlike last time. That will get the mainstream media on board and leave people like this clown and magic hat in the margins, looking like bitter, drunk hoboes, screaming at the world.

The club fucked it post-CAS imo. They let the "only got off on a technicality" narrative run away with articles such as David Conn's in the Guardian almost completely ignoring the verdict on the most substantial allegation. Maybe it was a deliberate strategy but I hope the Club are far more proactive with their PR this time.

If this article in the Daily Mail is anything to go by, it looks like the above might be true. It looks like they're starting some new spin to undermine the case in the first place...

It was published at 10pm last night, a few hours after that tweet on X.

Am I reading to much into this article?

That tweet may well be true but more by luck than anything else it’s pure guess work

The replies I’ve had to that post, and the one where I’ve said City are not guilty, are some of the most unhinged and hilarious coping sessions I’ve come across in years. Once this is over and done with, there will be serious mental breakdowns for some.

I'd be disappointed if the club didn't go anything less than full 'scorched earth' on anyone who has spouted anything remotely libellous since these 115 charges were announced. Zero mercy on anyone and everyone going forwards.

I remember someone on here making a far better and more eloquent post about it than this, but IIRC the gist of it was that this whole charade has essentially stolen cordial football banter and conversation between us and fans of other clubs. Football is a very common subject to chat about especially among men, both personally and professionally, and that's been taken away from us for absolutely no reason than flagrant greed, fear and racism. Just turning the other cheek isn't enough, nor is it a solution. There's also a good chance so much damage has been done now that it won't be remedied even with full exoneration, which speaks to how extreme and insidious the campaign against us has been.

Then tell them what you honestly think about their club too. I've got some great results doing just that! If they want to act that way I'll not be restrained with my views either ;) You're letting them bully you. It sounds like you just need more firepower, that's all.

Just show the fuckers this.
 
Very volatile situation this. People latching onto up random football accounts, people hearing rumours after every home match, people taking mainstream media messages as preceding a good verdict. Yet here we are with no announcement. Pep saying he hopes to have a decision this month means we're going to have a ramp up of false alarms daily.

I bet we're at least 4-6 weeks away
