Cheating cunts.
There, that feels nice, especially after every football fan under the sun has called us rotten for years.

I don't know anything what goes on with your club, I don't even know how you've got away with lying for years but it gives me great satisfaction and enormous pleasure saying the following.
You should have all your titles taken off you.( not that there was many the last few years)
You should get relegated.
Erm..oh yeah....poch will probably walk.
Your owners should pack up and fuckoff back from where they came.
All your players will leave.



See how ridiculous I sound! But this is the kind of shite printed, tweeted and discussed about us and we've done fuckall wrong.

A token slap on the wrist for another American owner.

Tbf, we don't know what they did and probably never will. But I doubt very much it was one or two minor transactions in the 8 years. It sounds systematic to me, and significant enough to warrant a 10 million fine. I would really like to know more.

 

[Vialli98]

Probably wise, as you always (normally) are but before you take a step back, can you actually explain what this minor infraction was that took place over 8 years and warranted a 10 million fine?

I can give a pretty good explanation of what I think the charges are against City and why we are confident about our case based on information in the public domain.

What do we actually know about Chelsea's misdemeanours?

No idea mate. Nothing was said about it except the new ownership reported it immediately after noticing the discrepancy during the take over process and UEFA have taken this long to decide on it and the matter is now resolved. It could be 120 different infractions or 2. All we know for sure at bare minimum 2 of them were 7 years apart. It could be anything from actually cooking the books to missing emails. I have no idea, none of us will unless we get more reports and/or leaks.

Fair enough.

But you can see why that grates on here. Details of charges against City are leaked to the press like throwing red meat to the lions, for other clubs it's hush-hush then a short non-detailed statement after they have been found to have done wrong.

The difference is inexplicable.

I totally get it, but weren’t the details leaked by the guy who hacked City’s emails? I think we know more details and it’s been reported on in more detail because of that. If it weren’t for that, I’d imagine UEFA would have nothing to investigate to begin with, unless I’m mistaken, and if they did it would have been a one of these standard investigations that we only hear about when the decision was announced?

Almost there, but someone at UEFA was leaking details to the US press (why the US, good question) about the issues, the process and the likely (ie preferred) outcome. UEFA even announced an investigation into the leaks, although this went very quiet after certain execs left UEFA. And don't forget the leaks about the PL process as well.

Anyway, enough. I would sill like to know more about Chelsea's misdemeanours. I won't hold my breath.

 

[ASHCFC]

I won't hold my breath.

I think you should

Only kidding of course bro. I don't think any of us have any answers at this moment to the questions that naturally City fans like yourself are asking.

Maybe they'll be more information in the future, although given that UEFA and Chelsea have both declared this situation as resolved, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Another 45 m defender on his way to Chelsea. How the fuck are they spending what they are under this loon job Boehly ? Must be close to a billion spent under him alone.

And how the fuck are we the ones under investigation for finances ? Make it make sense.
