How unfair that we are professionally following the advice of our highly qualified advisors and following due legal process. It's just not fair that Jamie Carragher and Henry pseudo articulate Winter are having to wait without all the legal information and arguments at their personal disposal.
Perhaps we should sell the rights to the makers of Love Island or the Masked Singer and have Ant & Dec present Simon Cowell or Amanda Holden deciding our fate with a public phone in vote.
Come on City, play the game.

maybe there is a longer game being played, maybe the cartel want city to prove their innocence ,take the pl to court , make the pl not fit for purpose because they falsely accused one of "our members" paving the way for a super league, the super league has been in the making for a long time , and maybe the cartel are a little bit more savvy than they look ,it wouldn't surprise me

Surely it’s the PL who have to do the “proving” & City are pushing them to put up or shut up.

Seeing as every man and his dog say we're state owned I'll flip it on it's head and say do the Premier League think they can take on Abu Dhabi and come out the other end victorious?


Not one shithouse in the press who throw in that we're state owned has mentioned that very fact when they're gleefully telling everyone we're already guilty of 115 charges.

And as a side note, is anybody else wondering why nobody in the media reporting on it has mentioned we could in fact be innocent of all charges instead of going in feet first with accusations.

I can't fathom that bit out...

The same right wing media that still headlines Brexit as a success while the UK has become a hopeless shit hole with food banks on every street corner ???

The fact those two dipper and rag gimps spoke on behalf of Sky Sports and were given a platform to do so shows the people at the very top of the product of the EPL are worried. Carragher and Neville were used as a mouthpiece to speak about something they have very little knowledge about , Sky who pay billions for the EPL product are clearly worried but they keep the feral followers of carragher and Neville happy with the 115 charges narrative . It is like they are trying to draw MCFC into a public slanging match . City need to carry on doing what they have been doing and what they did in the UEFA case . The cartel have become desperate MCFC must not be drawn in into their level we must use this opportunity to destroy them ! Maybe the cartel now realise this ………

They say we can’t possibly have a better commercial income than the Rags…..

We have a better playing team & judging by their leaking roof we have a far better facilities team so what makes them think their commercial team would be better than ours. They believed the hype, the empire will last forever but they got fat, lazy & taken over by the hungry, ambitious, élite professionals.

Instead of looking at what they are doing, they were convinced we’ve cheated. A gifted CEO would have seen that & rose to the challenge but instead they tried to “cheat” & lobby for us to be destroyed. City have continued to move forward by the time we are proved innocent they’ll be behind more than just us.

The reason why City have a better income is this.

When Ed Woodward took over at Utd he signed multiple small sponsorship agreements for £10m-£20m and almost doubled Utd's turnover. Frank Soriano noticed this, and so he did the same. Utd probably make about £50m more than City here though.

Meanwhile Frank Soriano looked at Chelsea's academy system and how much money they make from their academy, so he built the Etihad Campus, and now we're producing what Chelsea were ie £100m-£200m every year verses <£30m at Utd.

On top of that City are getting far more TV and prize money than United because we're winning trophies and playing in the Champions League, so +£300m .for City, and +£250m for United

Shirt sales and match day revenue may be higher, but aren't that significant anymore, so they're probably about £30m-£40m ahead here.

All this info is in the Deloitte Football Money League each year.

Hopefully they wait another 4 years for the legal outcome and our actual commercial income will have developed exponentially.

Agreed. There is no way the club would brief that we are disputing a KC's integrity because of the team he supports. The club may well be raising independence issues, and the KC's Arsenal connections or his previous, and his continuing, connections to the PL may be one, but it would be monumentally stupid to allow a briefing about an appeal turn into a tribal issue that only an incredibly stupid press/public could concoct.

That leak was done to damage the club again IMO at a moment of importance, not help us. Maybe not the PL, but someone involved in the PL process. Now I wonder who that may have been?

I’d wager City know exactly who it was.
