PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Luke Shaw says fuck off

Thanks for proving my point! ;)

Any time and every time in their case :)

Sometimes I feel this about the charges that have been dumped on us.
It's like the Premier league saying "don't look at the favourable decisions united are getting this season, look at the champions and all that muck surrounding them".
It seems such a coincidence

I am not sure the PL itself has it in for us that much, tbh. I think they made a knee-jerk reaction to pressure from the usual suspects when the DS emails came out. All this is just a consequence. And the hundred and whatever breaches are down to the club playing hard to get with evidence, more than anything else. Seems the club wants this to play out this way, the PL had no choice about how to proceed imo once they had started the investigation.

Would have been much smarter to wait until after CAS then just look at things CAS didn't cover imho.

They'll always think that because this whole thing is based on one very simple concept:

"There's no way the dirty Arabs are performing better than our historic clubs. The only possible explanation is they must be cheating."

This makes up the bulk of the arguments.

On the few clips I watched of the Overlap this was Neville's and Carragher's argument - and likely the same with most fans.

Their mindset is stuck in the late 90's and early 00's where only certain clubs were earning and spending the most.

Why are you injecting logic into this discussion? You do know that some on here are allergic to logic?

Yes. They are allogic.

A debate about City/PL/FFP, between Delaney or Harris and a small ripe pink grapefruit would have the grapefruit winning and squeezing the pips out of them

I am intrigued. Why does it have to be ripe? And pink? And what's wrong with a big grapefruit?

Amongst all the PL rules, there must be one that implies, particularly in spirit; that ‘all clubs be treated equally’? The 4 year investigation into just our club, shows this doesn’t happen. Has any other PL club ever been under such investigations?

ON OUR TERMS. Does that sound like we're making preparations to go to the championship?

I've been a City supporter since the mid-50's. Seen all the ups and downs, good seasons and bad, wins and failures. Wouldn't bother me too much even if we ended up in National League. Every away ground full, win almost every game, lower division team maybe winning FA cup and/or EFL cup, storming up the divisions.
Watching City win, against any team, is what I want.
Mind you, not sure if the likes of Erling, KdB, Jack and Pep will stay.

The prem, media and the clubs that wanted this to happen have executed exactly what they set out to do and that is tarnish and ruin our image as a club. Doesn't matter what happens with this it has pushed people to making their minds up about us (we can't win like you mentioned in your post)

A witch hunt at its finest

City fans are pretty thick skinned, we'll be fine.

I had to give them some sort of chance, they’d be completely crushed coming up against an unripe nonpink big grapefruit, even if they are leeches, we still have our humanity and sense of Manc fair play
