I agree with this. I’ve said it before on here at the time but it bears repeating. The day the charges were announced was a deliberate attempt to destabilise the entire organisation, and end HHSM’s time at City. No less than that was the intention. From announcing the charges to the media before the club itself, to the duplicitous manner in which 5 main charges were bundles into 115, purely for media headline purposes.

That press conference was of absolutely crucial importance. Not just to this season, but (without wanting to sound hyperbolic) to the entire future of this club as we know and love it. The narrative was choreographed, and set in stone. In my opinion with the prior approval, and involvement, of certain hand-picked media outlets:

City were filthy cheats. The manager and most key players were either complicit in the ‘cheating’, or were to be so disgusted by it that they would leave as soon as humanly possible.

Amd then Pep came out, puffed out his chest, and read them the riot act. Voiced, professionally and inarguably, a selection of home truths, and undeniable facts. Came out swinging, and left the watching world (and who knows?, maybe even a few waivering players/employees), in no doubt that not only was HE not going anywhere, but that the club and the players were in no doubt of our innocence.
It was exactly what we as fans, and City as an organisation so desperately needed. It lifted my spirits as much as any win has. It was a truly beautiful moment. It must, it just simply MUST, have brought the entire club together at the exact moment we needed it.

They (the media and their paymasters in the red shirted old money clubs) came to that press conference to finally bury City, and begin writing the obituary of the club. They had finally found a way to hound the Muslims out of their white man’s game, and put the impudent, working class, upstarts back in their box. In their place.

I know this sounds over the top, but I’ve believed in my heart ever since, that Pep saved City that day. I shall never, ever, forget how he made me feel in that moment.

Superbia in Proelio.

That political stitch-up with the charges being leaked to the media before City even saw them was an own goal by the PL which has accelerated the Government's move to introduce an independent regulator to take powers away from the PL. There has been a smear campaign against City behind the scenes led by LFC, MUFC and supported by Arsenal and Spurs and it is still going on.
The leaking of the story for the Times on Thursday about City making a legal challenge to the entire PL process was a second own goal which makes it easy for City to show (as they did with UEFA) that the PL (under pressure from LFC, MUFC, Spurs, and Arsenal) is acting in bad faith.
 
For old time Blues like me these are special times. In the darkness of days gone by I could never have dreamed of what we have had laid upon our table during these past few years. I once felt that the Mercer period was as good as it was gonna get for me, but surely no football fans have been as privileged as us, bearing in mind the trophy haul and the way everything has been won. From Bobby Manc, though the Pellers seasons and now this unbelievable Pep era City have always done it in style. I consider myself truly blessed to have been a part of it, as I am sure are those fellow Blues who like me followed City through thin & thinner. The best bit about it is that there's more to come. Can't wait for tomorrow !

Think about that fucking really hard so it hurts.

He’s thrown his own team under a bus because they can stop us doing it. As a so called United fan you wouldn’t want that **** in the trenches with you. Pure, utter vermin, salty tear twat whose probably in bed early right now with his Fred the Red Teddy under his Ryan Giggs duvet cover sucking his thumb, lol.

Congratulations City. No doubt you deserved it. Wishing you all a happy summer. For me my hopes for Kent look far fetched but hoping we regain the Ashes now that the season is over and I’m back in cricket mode. Funnily enough, I don’t have any sour grapes. Given our youth, inexperience and lack of squad depth, we did a hell of a lot better than I was expecting at the season start. Having said that, a bit disappointed we couldn’t keep things going right to the end but c’est la vie.

Anyway, I think you’ll finally win a CL which you deserve and I hope you get the treble too, because I f**king hate Man Yoo.

Very magnanimous of you Jack. Respect. Your boys did you proud this year, unfortunately for AFC, you were against us.
