PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[dubblue]

A lot of straw clutching going on. I find it impossible to believe with all being thrown at us for a decade or so, that we have just taken every bit of criticism while sitting on all this.

If you hadn't noticed - we've previously been relying on a different approach. Which has either backfired spectacularly, or, we may have even been facing more charges.

Hate to defend Oliver and McCann but its not the way that VAR works. Yes, i guess Oliver could have advised Atwell that it was ridiculous to suggest that Rashford wasnt interfering with play but as a VAR that's beyond his power. What would going to a monitor prove? Rashford was in an offside position and it was clear he never touched the ball The decision was Atwell's, McCann may have told the rag that it was going to be allowed because he was part of the radio communications and he knew that Atwell was only coming to him as a a show
The offside interpretation will be quietly changed to say if a player is in playing distance they are interfering with play

Still makes me fucking angry, that decision. The bastards.

Actually, Oliver could have told Atwell to review it on the monitor, but I suppose he was wary of Webb's new rule (mid-way through the season, mind) that referees' judgements shouldn't be questioned. What a farce.

So do I, really, but timing is everything.

And why they seem to be going through recruitment guys for fun, Michael Edwards quit & his successor followed 6 months later, as well as a few guys that worked under them. This has all been dressed as him taking an extended break from football and he even turned down the Chelsea role, maybe he is just an exhausted 41 year old ?

No peds for the execs.

He wasn't shit, they have hinted and hinted before but won't name him or the actual proof.
He is their #1 target for match fixing.

He wasn't shit?

The PL charges will be tried on their merits. All this other conspiracy, Liverpool, VAR, blah blah blah nonsense EVEN IF TRUE, won't make a blind bit of difference. You really think 2 KCs are going to focus on a bit of a recording about a completely unrelated matter that also PROVES nothing?

Believe it if you like but either way it is a sideshow.

We had one. A big gambler who accumulated debts owed to some very dodgy people. City were convinced he was match-fixing and even went to the police. It's absolutely not just lower league players.

It wasn’t Ederson betting on himself to get a yellow card in the first half the other night was it…? ;)

He wasn't shit?

I would say we are talking about different people the clue would be in the number I used.

He was the favourite player to be accused of fixing before he left us, though no proof as ever been produced.
