Man City is the first club in the pecking order, then likes of Chelsea, Everton etc.
Mate he's a fucking QC. He doesn't let his football team affect his judgement lmao
I don't see why the club would have any interest in providing the prem with anything before they are required to do so. They have been investigating for 4 years, in which time we have won the title several times and blown away most of the records in the league. As you say, they have likely burnt through millions in the process and now we have the opportunity to finish it once and for all. As City said during the UEFA investigation, we had no reason to believe it would be fair and proper so we simply stopped speaking to them and just saw them in court.Not doubting a word your saying, but if it is so clear cut on our side, why has it gone on so long, I would think it's in the clubs interest to sort this, it does our reputation and the owners Nation's reputation so much damage.
And again this must be costing and will cost the PL ten's of millions in legal fees alone, not sure they are as daft as to continue for no reason.
Arsenal season ticket holder reviewing the case for Arsenal’s biggest rival for the title. Brilliant.
I was being sarcastic, wild horses couldn’t keep me away from the FC United gameWhy would we give Stockpot 15000 tickets ?
Or are you saying that city fans would turn their back on the club.
If your one of them then ‘goodbye’.
No, on the contrary I suspect that in the end it benefits neither the league, its brand, nor City for the sanctions to be of any real significance. I'm just guessing btw and have no professional insights or anything like that, but I can see it being a points deduction which maybe means a season out of the CL, and a slap on the wrist. But not much beyond that.
The wider damage to the club's reputation is now done. We've gone from old titles being questioned to literally every season up to and including the 100 point one being in breach of PL rules. Whether we win or lose from here, the damage is done.
It’s very hard to build a relationship with anyone who will knife you in the back the first chance they get. City upset the cartel once Sheikh Mansour arrived. His arrival fundamentally changed the league and a lot of clubs haven’t and probably won’t ever forgive us for that.They didn't even do Soriano the courtesy of giving him the charges before giving them to the media and specifically to certain journalists. City have won 4 of the last 5 PL titles and that's how the league chose to handle it. That means we have absolutely no relationship of any real respect with the people running the league, and that's squarely at Soriano's door as he is the guy who sits in all those meetings.
If that is the case I would imagine the club will pursue one of the biggest slander/libel suits in the history of Sport.With the PL sifting through over 100 irregularities over 9 years, think about that, WTF, they will get a few irregularities to stick, and in doing so, will be able to say City were cheating and our investigation was necessary.
CAS found City guilty for not cooperating with UEFA, which led to a fine, and the narrative in the press and across social media that City had been found guilty by CAS.
It's the biggest stitch up in PL history by the PL.(and their cartel clubs)
