PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Once there’s a verdict, and it’s widely known, malicious comments can be dealt with. As everyone knows, in the public clickbait arena, EVERYONE is guilty until they prove their innocence!

The very least we could have done is not fed and watered the cunts slagging us off but we didn't. There is nothing big and clever in turning the other cheek and allow lies "if they are lies" to fester and establish as fact in other fans heads and mouths.

Those damn Arabs, eh…always playing the long game!

Do you think there are enough fingers for a dam that size with so many holes? The internet is a bullshit repeater. Twas always going to be “us vs them” no matter the number of turkey sandwiches the reporters ate!

No mate it's not about revenge, the damage is already done the truth doesn't matter a jot. Between the big wigs fighting they've stained not just us but the entire game and its future.

Because they have painted themselves into a corner.

The only people our club feel comfortable preaching too is us, the City fans.

What the fuck Arabs have to do with it is beyond me.
 
We don't appear to have visibly fought this, in fact we seem to have actively courted the journalists who have spread these "lies", our club have either underestimated the power of constant propaganda or they just don't care.

If the evidence of even the clubs apparent ignorance of their own fans feelings of their treatment is to go by I am not surprised by other fans being bold when the press and media have continued their onslaught with seemingly no reply from MCFC HQ.

Like the ticketing season ticket situation the people at the top are oblivious to what we see in the media just because they have much more important things to do!

Or that we are not important enough to take notice of, if that were the case I would think it would be prudent to employ someone to head the club that does have the time to check what's going on.

Yep you feel the likes of the rags Liverpool have a department of people looking at all media/social media reporting on there club and stamp it out pretty quickly or threaten the main corporation with legal jango!

True mate..

It's not even that the club are docile on that point which can arguably be a tactic but feeding the press fancies and tea after they pull City over the coals just doesn't sit right.

The media are the vehicle that is aiding and abetting the lies, aside from the on one, they have no interest in a balanced view, social media is out of control in the main people believe whatever they want to believe, you will never convince them otherwise and whatever you say they will be entrenched with their views. The vast majority know nothing more that City have been charged so, in they mind guilty. if proven innocent will have. bribed their way out. Look at the CAS verdict that was spun into City were found guilty they chose the judges our enemies will not give in and they use the media as their weapon this is more than just City and football it goes beyond that.
People don't understand, or want to understand, the process and how it is being conducted. The fact that 3 judges are conducting the case within a legal framework, independent of the PL, they think these 3 wise people, who have spent years building their careers and are probably very wealthy to boot would take a bribe. Its City's fault for the delay in fact anything negative is City's, there isn't a delay, it takes time to consider 3 months of evidence and witness statements, to check the legality of what they are doing and then write up the verdict in detail that will become effectively case law.
City Im sure are well aware and do care about the repetitional damage but its impossible to do anything about it as whatever they try to do will add to the negativity anything they say will be spun into more lies the media hold all the cards IF City took the legal route it would take it the time of the executives in briefing the legal team would cost more millions and take even more time
So they have taken the right course in stating quite, depending upon the verdict they may well take action but I doubt it the club will move on and take their revenge when appropriate and when the opportunity presents itself
I would add that if found guilty and if the punishment was sever then stand-by for all out war

Yep

Ferguson used to ban journalists for far less, but for some reason we've not made any effort to even protect Pep at a pre match press conference

Instead we just allow the same journalists to tread the same tedious patch

Good points but...

Even if City are obliged by legal restraints to not fight back in public they could have and should have barred/banned and stopped feeding the media vermin who have lied/speculated about us at the very least.

Unless we can't prove they are lying that is.
 
Exactly what I said, I think there will a seismic shift and change in the prem after the outcome is released, and in the short term they want to ensure the dippers get a second prem league title into the history books before the judgement destroys the prem as we know it now . If the judgement goes against the league and it's proven to be corrupt and a cartel, then everything has to be questioned that's gone on since it's inception, the league would not survive (hopefully) as it has in the past and possibly some clubs either .
I don’t see it like that at all. And your not being clear what your actual suggesting.

If the judgement goes against the premier league in such away the most it can really do is say they should never have bothered bringing the case that might imply incompetence or lobbying they won’t say it out right and they won’t say anything of corruption they are not investigating the red tops or premier league.

Khaldoon might bring more cases or make some sort of statement about United Liverpool etc in terms of fair application of the law. What did he say clear and organized and we will say more but it’s seems somewhat unlikely now given that we have gone after the Premier league on APT but not United’s odd Covid loss Liverpools fake stadium Chelsea hotel etc.

In any event even if you could prove city where target no proof it’s actually held us back let alone given anyone s title and it’s not the same as helping them directly

Our Comms strategy has been disastrous. We have not even corrected the public lies so the false narrative has been allowed to take hold over 10 years. Defending your brand is basic stuff. No other major sporting club would have allowed this to happen.

The problem is not the online loons but the big media operators like the BBC and the Daily Mail which have been allowed to publish thousands of false stories about our club with no challenge. That would not happen with Coca Cola or the Disney organisation.
 
Just saw some Ipswich fans in Guardian column claiming that they should fight to keep 18th position so when City are relegated Ipswich are the one who will remain in the league.

When a city fan called them out, they just replied we all know you cheated - and relegation is the least you deserve. And even if you are cleared it’s because you paid bribes. And they “know” this and the other club supporters nodded in agreement.

Media disinformation always succeeds. Look around what’s happening world. And the red cartels have succeeded in mudding the water. It is difficult to have a football discussion without the charges coming up.

Hopefully the trial goes our way but it would require some effort to clear our name in football discourse.
We don't have to clear our name.

We couldn't if we wanted to.

MCFC is a very successful football club and people don't like it.

If you ask other fans how they feel/felt about the rags in their pomp under the pisscan the majority would say "cheating fuckers, bought all the best players and Ferguson was a bully who had the refs in his pocket".

Whether that was true or not is irrelevant - it was the opinion of many fans across the country (nothing is ever going to change that) but the majority of rag fans couldn't give a shit about it. If anything they're craving to have those days back.

The issue we have is our owners are brown, the British Media is racist and the red cartel are hemorrhaging money and prestige at an alarming rate. The media is more than happy to step up and create a smear campaign and set the narrative that 'MCFC are cheats". Why wouldn't they? It placates the masses, creates provocative headlines and brings in more clicks than they could have only dreamt of.

Does anyone really buy into this public outcry? If we strip this right down to it's rudimentary level, MCFC are being accused of 'spending money' albeit the acquisition of which has been brought into question.

What successful football club hasn't spent money and can we be 100% certain of it's legitimacy? I'm pretty certain that most fans of said clubs couldn't give two hoots about it.

What about those football clubs that have spent billions of pounds and have not been successful. They're often riddled with debt and resort to panic buying their way out of trouble.

I am convinced that if MCFC had experienced a different journey since Sheikh Mansour took over in 2008 and we managed to break into the top four now and again with a couple of domestic cups under our belt there would be no investigation into our finances whatsoever.

Success is bitch..... ask any loser.
 
The original Latin plural for "penis" is "penes"--but "penes" at this point is less likely to be used in English than "penises".

I'm not an expert on this subject so a dick specialist may need to confirm
The weather girls sang "It's raining men".
Would this mean it was raining penes from heaven?

I like to think our owners are more pragmatic and cavalier than that.

I often imagine a scenario during their biannual board meetings where the director of communications says "we're continuing to receive negative views across most media platforms"

Sheikh Mansour: "where are we with our current trophy haul and what was our end of year profits?"

Director of keeping tabs: "trophy wise we're well ahead of the game and with regards to profit my Lord, we've superseded our expectations significantly"

Director of communications: "what about the British media my Lord?"

Sheikh Mansour: "Fuck em!"

It’s a brilliant case study in how shit journalism in general and football journalism in particular, has become. The very same people who’ve been writing this stuff, who’ve condemned City from day one of any charges being laid, either by UEFA or the PL are also whining on, continually, about ‘sportswashing’………
There does seem to be a chronic lack of self awareness from each and every one of them.
