No, no, it must have been Chelsea.
On a serious note. Just like Heysel, etc, that is never discussed on RAWK. If you thought North Korea was bad at censorship, it has nothing on RAWK.

They probably also believe that the earth is flat, man has never been anywhere near the moon, Covid is just mass hysteria and other such nonsense that defies logic, science and even common sense.Words fail me....

There's a small part of me (not that part) that still holds out some hope that there will be a breakthrough, a leak, a whistle-blower, or some other event that brings them down and exposes the whole facade for the doping scandal it really is.
It took years to finally bring Armstrong down as so many people were in on it, including his team mates, managers, plus doctors and officials. There was also the Calciopoli scandal in Serie A which probably seemed bulletproof until it all unravelled.
At some stage I think we'll reach a tipping point where they are either found out, or where other clubs are able to combine to put enough pressure on FFP, UEFA and the FA for them to act.
That may sound overly optimistic, but if it continues much longer then the pressure to level the playing field will only intensify, and the motivation for organisations like Der Spiegel to expose more fraud and money laundering will be huge. I have no doubt there are still plenty of people doing plenty more digging to find a breakthrough.
It's amazing they've gotten away with it this long - especially as no-one seemed to question why in 2011, Eithad Airways decided that the best way they could get more global exposure for their brand would be to sponsor the stadium and shirts of the 2nd best club in Manchester, paying more than it cost FSG to buy our entire club a year earlier.
It's like a crime that everyone knows has taken place (and which everyone can see the effects), but either no-one wants to bring the perpetrator to justice, or they have so many expensive lawyers that it's not worth the fight.
In years to come, I sincerely hope there are lectures being given in Law School, citing 'The Peoples Game vs Manchester City', as a landmark legal case that exposed one of the biggest financial frauds in sporting history.

Poor fuckers just cannot accept the obvious that they are not the best team in the league. My belief is that by the end of this season they will not accept that they aren't even the second best team in the league.

As has been said, just far too much nonsense to address point by point. But if we are as this guy obviously believes state owned, why would a state launder their own money in the public eye?
Why would you need to launder money that’s legally yours??

Far more likely that in years to come, City’s model will be held up as the ideal way to truly run a football club. Not that the stupid **** who penned that will know about it as judging by his/her desperation they will have long since topped themselves!Words fail me....

Money laundering? Is Sheikh Mansour the deputy prime minister of the uae or is he selling coke? Fuck sake.
