PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Deleted member 77198]

We should do a media embargo until September.

Fucking spot on!

The fans need to take this anger etc into the stadium and use it to suppotgr team and manager....fuck everyone else. Circle the wagons and fight to the end. This is the spark the fans need. Aim it at the press box, the opposing fans and teams. Use it to be the 12th man...home and away

We will. Agreed.

Another point is these announcements shouldn't be allowed during a season. It disrupts the club involved and as such hands an unfair advantage to their rivals.

That’s the plan.

The timing of this is no accident.

tonight on ITV Sports. York away mk.2 in association with the Premier League's relocation parachute payments...

Yes, but they’re down on the fifth tier

Fuck that. I draw the line at the old 4th division.

Funny that FSG have announced they are no longer interested in selling the whole club just a day before this announcement. Also, can see Glazers say bids weren't high enough, so keeping control of the club. Almost like they had a heads up from PL that we won't be a problem soon.

A paid up Arsenal supporter is apparently going to be the judge and jury in City's case. Talk about own goals , surely the PL should have thought this through a bit more.

Any decision he makes will be at best considered biased. Its impossible to be independent when you have an allegiance to a rival. That's surely one of the fundamentals in any fair adjudication. And will only increase the chance of further legal action and appeal by City pending any guilty findings whatsoever.

Can’t wait for the next “special” Premier League game involving City that is selected to have the pre match taking of the knee against racism. Doubt many will spot the irony.

Sat with my lad, having Chinese at lunchtime. His words, 'I don't give a fuck. They have been after us for years and they haven't succeeded. If we end up in the fourth division, everyone who's a proper City fan will love it anyway.'

Of course, we spoke some more and both of us feel the same: stand your bloody corner and fight back.

Just seen that. Why would any organisation go to war with one of its members? Why would it want to besmirch a team and club that has given them some of the best moments in the last ten years? Why would an organisation be so inept that we have apparently got away with all these breaches right under their noses for years? Why are we being charged with offences a sporting court cleared us of? These are the questions these wankers should be asking. We of course know the answers.

Probably because (in their eyes) we are yesterdays chip paper, old news, they’re bored of us winning, it isn’t good for their ‘product’ or their billions of red shirt followers, so they are in essence trying to eliminate us from competing. They thought 93.20 was a flash in the pan, that we could only attract mercenaries, and the likes of David Sergio & Vinnie would leave for Spain. Now we have one of the best sporting projects in the world, and show no signs of returning to mediocrity, football is cyclical but our cycles tend to be dropping from 1st to a champions league spot. With us out of the way it opens the door to another story, the emergence of Newcastle, and the return of the rags
