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.
Sounds like one of his pissed up rants.

More cases of Covid at the dippers,apparently. If there are it should wipe the smug grin off his face for a couple of seconds. Probably not as he never sees any connection with his utterances and facts.

Liverpool fans cannot hold the moral high ground over any other supporters. Not one. They should show some fucking humility after the way they shamed English football and caused other clubs (and their supporters) to be punished, instead of pontificating about others.
They have absolutely no right to talk in disparaging terms about supporters of any other club. It’s akin to someone who kills a family due to their dangerous and drunken driving lecturing someone else for doing 80 miles an hour on the motorway. Some of their supporters have zero self-awareness.
Whatever happens, ‘empty seats’ included, we’re better than them, as our respective track records undeniably demonstrate.
They killed 39 people attending a football game; not the club, or its owners, but the supporters. They have absolutely no right to lecture anyone about anything related to the character of supporters.
