Liverpool already getting a compo case together for all the trophies they would have won and shirts they would have sold if Barcelona hadn't cheated.
Football is a dirty, sleazy business. To crucify City for doing things differently and being successful, well there's an awful lot of skeletons in the closets of our rivals.
If they legitimise one or more clubs making unsubstantiated claims against a rival as sufficient to charge, which they have done by charging us repeatedly for the same payment issues, then so be it.
Just remember nobody is untouchable, everything leaves a trail in some form, and I am sure that in terms of severity City playing with the books to catch up to the elite, even if we have done, is nothing compared to what the big guys will have been doing to line their own pockets.

Careful now.I maybe completly out of order here but I sometimes think that football maybe just a little bit corrupt u know.
The deniers will be all over you like Like Shaw with a pack of Steak bakes.
I think there’s a very realistic chance that Barcelona doesn't exist in its current form in 10 years time.
They will soon be in €3 billion of debt and paying anywhere from €150-200m a year in interest. They have just given away €40m a year in tv money to stay solvent.
They are due to fail the next FFP reporting window by a few hundred million.
And then there’s this corruption scandal which looks really, really bad. Worse than calciopoli and the sporting sanctions ie relegation, exclusion from the CL etc would cost them hundreds of millions a year that they can’t afford to lose.
JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs will own FC Barcelona by 2030, if they haven’t already sold it on to a private owner by then.

How do Bournemouth ever score any goals? I know that was off side but what a rubbish effort it was anyway.
