PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The charges galvanised the club to reach a sporting level not matched by many. Kept us together as a fan base. Coming under constant attack and slander will do that.


We don’t get this without the lies:
Centurions
Treble winners
Formidable's
Pep commitment

So we have to listen to the odd wanker in real life or social. It genuinely doesn’t bother me like it did 2 seasons ago.

Is this all they have to throw at us? It’s not nearly enough to derail a club whose history is steeped in the trenches.

Hit after hit we keep coming back, bit like Ricky.

Financially a waste of money. Reputation dented but certainly not destroyed.

For many years I worked for a large organisation with more than 30,000 staff. A new CEO came in. He destroyed the business within five years after pushing through a series of totally insane ideas. He surrounded himself with yes men and sycophants and got rid of anyone who challenged him. The company later went bust. He was a former public schoolboy and Oxbridge man who appeared to have no skills at all. This happens quite a lot in the UK business world.

I was based in Ramsbottom, and no mither until he (George Simpson) turned up. Our site ended up with venture capitalists who just didn't understand the process and they eventually gave up and disposed. New housing estate now on old site. Cheers George.

Mate we grew up in a time that saw us lose to the likes of stockport at home and chesterfield away and we still turned up, when going to an away game was a pitched fucking battle and getting their involved some dodgy cut n shut minibus or a shitty train if it turned up, a time when we queued up for 8 sodding hours to watch us play gillingham in a playoff final, when our strikers were the likes of bob taylor and lee fecking badbuy, when after a game at maine road it was 50/50 if ur car still had wheels on it when u came bk so if the best they got is some faceless knobhead on social media bleating on about some made up charges then bring it the fuck on.

We're man city fans we are built different.

Thats hilarious

You're quite happy to take the word of 2 high ranking premier league executives as gospel when they say they are confident & City don't have a leg to stand on but when Jack, a journalist with well known connections to City, said what he did, its unsubstantiated

Not at all what he said.
 
We all care. We know we do.
Our success on the pitch has been the driver for these charges. That and the fear of our continued success and sporting growth. If we were not a threat to the established clubs, this would have gone away long ago.
Exoneration brings peace, and a big FU to claims that our sporting success is illegitimate.
It will not stop accusations, for that is the nature of tribalism.
But it ends the matter in our own hearts and minds.
I look forward to the day it happens, and that's the reason I check this thread each day though I do not post in it too often.
Have a good weekend.

Agreed, but I would go further. Even if it comes out we did “cheat”…..those “rules” were put in place to unfairly stop us. I expect my club to go around or through unjust rules and maybe they did maybe they didn’t,but they destroyed everyone for a decade and we aren’t finished yet.
