PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[paulchapo]

The club surely have to act now. You just can't as the head of an organisation of a competition we've just won come out with shit like this when we were cleared by an independent panel in the highest court available to us. It's fucking outrageous.

And people wonder why I still boo his shitty little jingle.

It will do. That's just what the press/media want.

I am fed up with it as much as the next fan. But you have to put your well being before everything. Taking yourself away from this thread or stop listening to the press/media doesnt make you any less of a fan, it really doesn't.

I have noticed an increase in comments made to me when out and about wearing my City gear. Funny enough Tesco seems to be the worst place for this lol. I have been called wanker, cheat, c**t etc for just doing my weekly shop, its bizarre. I'm normally with the missus as well !.

I just ignore, the most I'll do is smile at them, they dont like that lol.

Honestly take a break from the press/media, tweeter, Facebook etc.

Look after yourself

Great post. And as I’ve said before, I can relate to the abuse from strangers. Been called a “cheat” twice in recent months when wearing my City gear.

There’ll be plenty more thanks to the relentless public attacks from all angles.

The club either can’t or won’t respond to any of it.

 

[give it to gordon]

Same. It’s exhausting.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d become the best team in the world and I’m eternally grateful.

Conversely, never in my worst nightmares did I think we’d become public enemy number one and spend years in and out of fucking courtrooms and hearings.

Thing is we arent public enemy number 1. Only the dippers and rags and press/media pl and UEFA hate us lol.

Never really had any issues with fans from other clubs

I agree, but not holding my breath. The ‘holistic’ approach seems to be let it slide, keep our enemies close, don’t comment, and make sure Carragher has his own parking space & 3 course meal on matchday.

Don't agree.
In between winning trophies it's becoming awful being a city fan.
How can any of us pretend that daily attacks from the media on our club is OK because we win trophies.
It isn't.
We've just won the treble but instead of basking in the glory and accolade we read/hear toxic attacks of our club 24/7.
Don't read it or listen I hear you say.
How, when you only have to face it from other fans now, in work or out in the pub.
Maybe if we ever heard the club fight back then we'd feel more unified but we don't.
So no winding up the red shirts really doesn't equate for this much shit being directed at us for me.
Somehow it needs to stop

I’m glad I’m not in work anymore, it was tiresome when the UEFA thing was going on, the bellends didn’t have a clue what was going on and probably even more so now, whe you asked the what the charges were they just spouted bollocks. That only lasted a few months compared to this, it’s a constant, pricks like Jordan (oh I wish someone would sue him for his accusations ) spouting shite and they lap it up. For me it doesn’t matter if we win, in most eyes we won’t ever be innocent, that’s why we should sue people/organizations for deformation of character only then when we win will it stop.

Cheers Gordon - I'm not that bad and I do have the benefit of some reassuring contacts - but yep it's a distraction I/we could do without and I just know it's going to cause a family rift (dippers) if there's an adverse finding. They will be insufferable and it's their club I blame more than any for all this. Jealous, protectionist, hypocritical c#nts.
But - we have to suck it up and hope for the best. Its the waiting. God knows how those high up in the club are coping. The players too.
I keep returning to Dribble's post for some optimism.

I thought Cerefin wanted to be our friend and move forward, with just the premier league as our enemy. There’s surely no coincidence in the timing of this and I assume he has been got at by the usual suspects to open his gob. I can’t ever see the day when this shit goes away, “not in my lifetime” anyway. We are a nice, well run club, yet for some reason we have no friends. Cunts, the lot of them

As always in mud slinging situations the way to challenge it is to do exactly what City are doing, ignoring it in public.

The media are poking to get sales of their products and taking conversations out of context.

Almost every week now someone says to me what about the FFP charges. As soon as I reply with the facts, the conversation ends as they admit they don’t know the detail , only what has been reported in the media

I have long since stopped reading HYS or listening to radio talk shows. It is much healthier to do that if you feel riled up by them.

This case will always be something that rival clubs and fans will use against us as long as we are winning trophies. It is pure jealousy and nothing else

Watch and enjoy the best football team in the world is the best medicine there is and let the saddos twist and cry in their jealous rage

 

[blue by birth]

it doesn't actually not for me, and unless you haven't noticed the red-shirted cunts are winning the PR war wich was never a war and that pisses me off . I don't like it if my club I have supported and loved since 1977 is called cheats and it hurts like hell, you can call me soft and maybe I am but I am at braking point and I am very angry at the people who controls and owns our club for doing nothing about the way we are talked about.
These charges are to damaged our reputation and they have won that war.

Do what I do mate..ask them exactly what we have been found guilty of..then ask them if they know what the charges are.
Then tell them to fuck off with their fucking bullshit.
They believe we are paying players under the table .. basically cash in hand like something out of the boys from the black stuff..as I told a yonner **** on Sunday where does Haaland stash his £500,000 per week cash in hand ..under his fucking bed lol.
Don't let the sad cunts get to you..mind you easier said than done..I've been very close to twatting a couple of idiots over the last few months with their cheats slurs...
Most of them get their limited knowledge from twitter etc..their average iq much less than the 115 charges FFS.
I believe we are innocent and as long as we as a collective fanbase stick together then once we are found INNOCENT then we can give it back to the cunts in spades.
