PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

What evidence is there of any reputational damage against us, it's worked exactly the opposite just look at the accounts, see how many kids are turning up to stadium tours, trophy tours all round the country, it's huge.
It's football tribalism, haters will always be haters, you would not have heard a peep from anybody if we'd won fuck all.
Relax and enjoy the ride, it's only just begun.

The only question would be what effect has it had on the attitude of would be investors, sponsors etc. Has any company turned away because our accounts are false?
I think the answer is no.

Cue the onslaught of clubs behind the scenes picking up the phone to the PL today asking about us.

That’s made me a bit nervous, though. Although when was Everton’s investigation announced? That deduction seems to have come quicker than ours…

Everton’s charges were announced a month after ours. Their hearing date was announced in August I think, surely if the Premier League are confident in their case they should be well on with it. We haven’t heard anything since February 2023, not even who will be sitting on the three person panel. If they are confident of the case and they have the smoking gun in black and white, why is there a wall of silence?

I would say that they have caused reputational damage. It's not impacted us financially perhaps, but in a sporting context the success we have had has been caveated by the charges. Instead of just celebrating our success it was "City, who face 115 charges" repeated in every article or on every radio station.

We could just get on with it and not care what rival fans or the media think, but I personally do.

If it hadn't been the charges it would have been oil money, state owned, stealing the world best, only because we spent X billion-in fact it's all those things as well. Just ignore it.

1 charge only for Everton, bound to have been rushed through quicker. But if we do get a points deduction for our 115 charges, that's 115x10 =1150 points deduction. Lol

That’s 12 seasons worth, down to the Lancashire league we go…….and we’ll piss it!
”Today City established a scoring record for this league of
15—0. The average age of the team was 15, also a record. A City spokesman said:’We had as many in the ground as we had at York City’”

There is a wall of silence from the club as well. Just because your underground and can't see the rain doesn't mean it's not raining.
