Is there a complete list of the 100+ allegations against city. Like a full list?
I doubt the players, coaching staff or executive team at City are scrolling through the comments on Twitter to see what @LFCTony97 is saying about City's "guilt". Our consistent performance on and off the pitch just shows how focused and uneffected we are as a club, by faceless nobodies throwing shit around.How people within the club are feeling with amount of shit thrown our way I've no idea, it's certainly draining from a fans perspective I know that.
Quality post mate.I know what you mean but disagree. When our owners started to transform the club and demonstrate our business model was working, Arsenal, United and Liverpool had a choice. They could either copy us or try to stop us moving forward with the plan.
Thank God they chose the latter. At the time there were quite a few sports economic papers published pointing this out. Even better they had multiple time periods to review their failed decision and turn back. There was a tipping point about 5 years ago where it was their last chance to catch and then overtake City using their historical popularity to their advantage, and all three carried on down the road to nowhere refusing to invest in their own clubs.
We are now the strongest football club in the World both on and off the pitch.There is no reputational damage at all except in fans heads and the press. The Club, in the time this has been going on, has won 17 major trophies has the highest revenue in football and is the biggest brand overtaking Real Madrid and Barcelona. City are now expanding the area around the stadium in addition to the stadium itself. They own or have a controlling Interest in 13 clubs around the World. Contrast those huge achievements with the clubs that tried to stop us…how have they got on? Did it work?
The red clubs have put enormous effort into trying to stop us and, at the same time, have slipped further and further behind until they are now too late.
So what is left? Surely the supporters of those clubs would be furious at their own club? Well one set is but the others….not so much. What can they do to distract people from their abject failure to tackle City correctly when they had the chance?
The answer is to create a situation whereby fans believe huge reputational damage has been done to City from which they will ultimately never recover. “We called them cheats, we said they had no history, we said nasty owners” It didn’t cost them a penny.
It’s a shame that some of our own fans believe we are losing an important battle but it doesn’t make any difference. City decided to be “best in class” in all areas and it’s worked quicker than they expected because nobody effectively challenged them In the way they thought. Jesus…Khaldoon even told them at one point “we are not responsible for your failures” and “just accept we are here” He was basically saying if you don’t like it copy us If you think you are losing out.
City fans often say why don’t the club sue this person or that person for lying…not a warning, actually do it. The reason they don’t is because City will not get involved in battles that do not matter to them. They focus on the plan and move forward, ever evolving.
City will never tell its own fans not to get upset about the press, they will hope they notice that it hasn’t worked and enjoy the success but, in the end, even that doesn’t matter to them either, it’s not their job.
People will believe what they want to believe but the facts are what matter. City have played it beautifully.
As for the other clubs well they should thank their lucky stars football has loyal customers. In any other businesses their boards would have been fired by the shareholders years ago for failing to respond to the challenge and instead claiming victory by way of reuputational damage while their clubs sank without trace.
It doesn’t look like a big win for them because it isn’t, quite the opposite in fact.
We have had more bad publicity about this than Everton!
Was about to say the same.We have had more bad publicity about this than Everton!
Was about to say the same.
No word of a lie, the missus has got the radio, fucking Hits Radio or something - the newsreader was speaking about Everton and in the next breath “it’s put Manchester City’s 115 charges back in the spotlight”.
I’ve started a list…Is there a complete list of the 100+ allegations against city. Like a full list?
spot on mate, i've always said this, football seem to think can operate differently to any other businessShe made a statement an hour ago calling for Everton's points deduction to be stayed, & for the urgent introduction of an independent regulator.
Evidently this shocking decision isn't sitting well with politicians. I suspect the government will be forced to treat football clubs as they do all other businesses.
This is the fear UEFA had with the threat of FFP being challenged in the courts. Why should a football business be treated differently to a construction company?

You have forgotten the full stop at the end of both your sentences.Poor use of punctuation, or lack thereof, is a crime in itself
I've no sympathy for this Jules character
Hoist by my own petard :-(You have forgotten the full stop at the end of both your sentences.
Fuck me, if Rashford puts one away from an assist from TAA vs Malta i'm putting my wellies on.Well at least the redshirt loonies will be on a wanking frenzy
They didnt. They broke it by under £20 mil. Which is nothing in football finance. A couple of better results over the previous 3 seasons would likely have made them compliant in the form of more prize money.Everton broke FFP by approximately £200m in the last few seasons , a straight forward and indefensible breach of Premeir league rules , ours and Chelsea's alleged breaches go back years and are far more difficult to prove , as the Premier league are obviously finding.
Where will the Premier league find evidence of any under the counter the payments is the issue , which business with any sense of self preservation will provide details of such actions ? Cheslea might be open to providing evidence banking of the fact it was the previous owner who made the payments and leniency to the current/potential owners, but that hasnt worked for Everton.
Our owners will make the Premier league struggle for years and will give them absolutely no assistance , expect the vitriol and hate towards our club to increase ten fold , with Everton fans frothing at the mouth with their whataboutery ,our visits to Murkyside this season are going to be tasty , take three points off the blue noses and nerer relegation and stuff the Dippers and cost them a top four place , there will be a tsunami of boiling piss drowning the occupants of the Wirral peninsula.....lovely
