Agree with you entirely. I am saddened that the Evening News continually stick the boot into our club. Years and years ago I would read the balanced articles by Peter Gardner and David Meek about their respective clubs. Journalism today has died out and is simply regurgitating stuff and nonsense in an effort to get as many clicks as possible - and to encourage more hatred towards us from other clubs.The entire concept of this story is flawed. Juventus were found guilty of match-fixing following a criminal investigation. City have been accused of breaching financial rules created by the Premier League leadership and have strongly denied it. There is no accusation of any criminal behaviour. We have been accused of investing (too much) money in our club. Something which is not illegal and happened at most other PL clubs before 2012. There is no equivalence here. What a despicable thing for any local paper to do.
