PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[citizen_maine]

It always irritates methat, when the time barred claims are made by these pundits, its as if that means we are guilty ,not that a decision was not made.
That in itself indicates the bias of these people.

Or that if it was time barred that the charges shouldn't have been raised in the first place.

Fuck. That.

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 ………

Appealing to break bread….. Fuck off.

Exactly. This is the sort of social circle our owner lives in.
Be afraid, PL, be very afraid.

I think thats the issue rival fans have. The Football played on the pitch seems to be downstream from who your owners are. People havent gotten bullish on Newcastle all of a sudden because they have a young Messi in their youth system.

That guy in the photo (not Charles), is the most influential football figure in English football for 30 years, even bigger than Ferguson. He has basically torn up the landscape of the English football landscape.

The counter argument is that the heritage clubs get overturned and it allows clubs like City and Newcastle who historically found it hard to get/stay at the upper end of the table. However in doing so you become the very thing you complain about, by becoming a modern super club with infinite wealth to maintain high standards.

I think a European salary cap needs should be introduced across all major leagues. The best players can earn their money from image rights rather than salary from clubs. Or move toward a Bundesliga model with majority fan ownership of clubs.

If I can paraphrase: the gentleman doesn't think the club will be accepting another pinch, and that, in the greater scheme of things, it doesn't matter what rabid football fans and journalists say about timing or anything else. As long as we keep winning, the next generation of football supporters will be City fans, no mater how long this process takes.

That is how CAS actually presented them. Not that we were guilty but exempt because they were time barred, but purely, that there was no need to even look at them because of the time limitations and they were therefore irrelevant. Which you can just as easily say we were prevented from proving innocence, because of the time bar.

Talksport covering the 115 charges. Good cop bad cop routine. Hammering city but also supporting them. Innocent until proven guilty is a sporting myth.

Lazy journalism. Jordan said city charges and us winning the league is the gift that keeps on giving for the broadsheets.

Why are Arsenal a "heritage club" and the likes of City arent? In what decade does a club become a heritage club?

Totally disagree, football has been professional since the 19th century and more often than not the richest clubs win the most trophies. It's only in the last decade that financial shackles have been placed on clubs in order to keep the cartel clubs relevant. If you don't like it there's plenty of grass roots clubs to follow.

Call them sky sports originals then. The clubs at the top end when Sky made the Premier League global
