PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[chaddblue]

Brace yourselves for a significant escalation of 115 chat in the media and on social media over the next few days after today’s result

Imminently coming now in the summer when no fucker cares with a World Cup to keep the hacks busy. Plus the rags are back and everything is going to be ok.

So imminent in about 3/4 months time.

There seems to be a campaign on social media recently to increase awareness of the case and City's (unproven ) guilt

Recently? Are you new to social media then? There hasn't been a let up from day one which is why (besides BM) I came off it.

Well aware , just think it's been cranked up to new levels recently, just my opinion

One of the most cringeworthy posts I’ve seen in the forum’s history.

Thanks Dave.

The one programme I used to rush home from school for. Still remember that first episode opening with Benny Green kicking the ball against the wall!

If you believe the PL don't need City, you're tapped.

"Based on recent reports, Manchester City's comeback at Anfield drew an estimated 750-800 million global TV viewers, surpassing the Super Bowl's roughly 220 million global audience"

We're massive.

That Superbowl figure can’t be right

That Superbowl figure can’t be right

Based on what?
Several sources validate it, in-fact it looks overstated based on historical viewing.

Superbowl is probably about right
Champiuons league final
True TV audience: typically 50–150 million depending on year.
• Global reach: 450–500 million.
• Bigger global footprint than the Super Bowl, though the Super Bowl has a higher measured audience in the U.S.
as US 2024 Super Bowl ha: 123.7 million viewers .

Yesterday Liverpool v City game probably didn't have an audience figure of 800m or anything like it. " Early 2024–25 data shows Liverpool again leading the league with 133.8 million cumulative viewers across the first nine matches"

Someone asked on X which is s bigger. The World Cup final or Super Bowl most Americans gave it the big one and said Super Bowl. Doesn’t even match up to big PL games

I meant I was surprised, thought it would be much higher

where are your stats for biggest premier league games ? THe super bowl is bigger than any premier league game albeit nowhere near as big as the champions league final or world cup final

Do these numbers include random passers-by peering into TV shops?

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Thanks Dave.

I feel bad for singling you out now but going down the rabbit hole of ridiculous conspiracy theories like that doesn't do anyone any good.

I agree the logic is flawed. Think it's based on something silly like 1 minute of continuous viewing but, it's consistent across all events.

Don't worry - I was just having a bit of pre-match fun to relieve the tension! To be nominated as "One of the most cringeworthy posts I’ve seen in the forum’s history" is something for which I will be eternally proud.

What, like Radio Rentals?!

 

[bellsouth]

Very vague, ‘expected’, ‘one of..’ it seems real figures are hard to verify
