PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[MillionMilesAway]

Just as a matter of interest, why did the other clubs refrain from signing the letter?

I think that's the wrong way of looking at it, bar one club.

The letter was asking that the case be held in the season it was written, i.e. before entries for the next season's European competitions were finalised. I think the gist was "get it done, don't let City drag it out".

The clubs whose names were on it were those who had an interest at the time of writing in Europe. Only Liverpool were pretty much certain of being in the CL. 3-4 were on the fringes of the CL, and the best outcome for them was that a ban for City freed a space up.

That then had a knock-on effect to the EL places - I think Burnley were about 11th, but were fairly close in points from an EL place.

SheffU were the only club in the top half whose name wasn't on it.
I think Wolves announced they weren't going to be involved in pursuing it almost immediately, memory says because the Wolves fans told them it was a crap way of behaving.

Spitty name dropping us again the ****.

About time City did something about these bellends

I’m still baffled how he is still employed after the spitting incident. The power of the rags and dippers in the media I suppose.

 

[Keeper!]

He did, but as expected the headlines are missing the ‘2’ and we are all tarred:

What a weak , joke of a society we have become when two teenage idiots are made to look important, relevant and represent a whole club.

All this shit rearing its head again - anyone would think it's the week before the derby. I'm assuming the Haaland to Madrid stuff will be tomorrow or Saturday.

Its Alvarez now apparently.

It's not society per se, it's the way the media portrays things.

I'm sure the vast majority of people, even the vast majority of rags, realise that these are just a pair of isolated numpties but the media has to get its pound of flesh

Was just thinking why is there no links to rag players leaving just before a derby game and then I caught myself on ..

No it's society, and taking things
far too seriously.

Two pissed up teenagers thinking they were smart taking the piss, nothing more, nothing less.

Charlton was a footballing legend to a lot of people, and received respect he deserved.

But the constant refences to two idiots is simply not needed.

I remember when Chelsea came into the money, I was glad as it upset the rags and Arsenal & pool, more competition, same with Newcastle, can't understand the logic talking shite like we were some tin pot team before the take over...

This is something I’ve always wondered about.

When we didn’t have a pot to piss in, I was always happy when someone challenged the top, and like you say when Chelsea came into money it made me happy because it would piss everyone off. So imagine my surprise when it happened to us and everyone hated us.

Very strange behavior but I guess that’s the power of relentless propaganda on the public’s perception
