I don't disagree with your arguments. UEFA,FIFA are all corrupt... they are not in the best position to punish Man City. I also don't like Abramovic for his connections to the Russian state. He deserves as much criticism.
The way I think about evil informs my feelings about the Gulf bosses. They seem to have engaged on a different scale of human rights abuses. Same thing with Abramovic, his friend Putin, who probably has covert money parked in Chelsea, has done some nasty things across the board. I feel very strongly about this kind of wrong doing.
The Glazers, John Henry, Shad Khan, Kroenke are imperfect or even evil. Some of them own NFL teams that IMO have damaged heads of young men for generations. I am morally opposed to the NFL owners for this reason. However, I see clear distinctions between this type of owner and the Gulf Sheikh or Russian Oligarch. Take the NFL owners for an example, while they haven't contributed positively to player brains (being polite), the players have had a choice in this. In fact they have gotten handsomely rich and will set up their kids for generations. I suspect that maybe the calculation for some of the NFL players. This is very different from what I see (frankly I would argue slavery) in the Gulf. Construction workers have their passports confiscated, are thrown in jail for complaints, are put in squalor conditions, etc. Its just evil, more than any other wrong doing the Glazers, Kroenke, John Henry, etc have done.
While we should all appreciate City's good football, we should call them out for their accounting/financial, or owner human rights transgressions. Those two actions can happen at the same time. I don't think fans are that invested in City's accounting standards anyways... the club just needs to clean up its act, period. Same thing on the sexual abuse history at clubs like City, Chelsea, Newcastle, etc...the clubs need to clean that up.
I just don't see how fans can excuse these behaviors. Pointing to problems at different clubs is a diversion tactic and an attempt to minimize the wrong doing that happened in the first place...these clubs, United included, have to be called out.
You will never hear me defend Woodward or the Glazers. I apply the same principle on Swaziland. I don't have to defend other people's wrong doing.
