PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

If anyone suggests that Pep and the eleven players on the pitch cheated to win things, then they're being ridiculous.

When United had twice the revenue of Arsenal in 1999, did their treble mean nothing?

There are fans of Liverpool and United, calling City cheats, despite them having the same levels of revenue City have.

Whatever happens about the sources of that money over a decade ago, there is absolutely no way that anyone can legitimately suggest their team was someone cheated out of titles. It makes absolutely no sense.

This is what pissed me off at the end of last season. Every time we won something, the media couldn't discuss it without bringing up the 115 charges, as if that's proof that the titles weren't legitimate. Even if you genuinely believe that City are guilty of all 115 charges (which of course no-one can, because no-one has access to the evidence), they're for a time period over over 5 years ago. What relevance do they have to our achievements last year? That just goes to show that it's nothing to do with fairness and everything to do with feelings and jealousy at a better team, being run better, and giving the old guard, who all of the journalists support, a kick in the teeth every year.

Ok we all talk about the damage it could do to the club if found guilty, But what will it mean to Pep and the player's Reputations, The damage to the image of the best Manager in the world PEP, We knew he could not win titles and cups without cheating its all fake, Peps a fake

How can EPL and FA look Pep in the eyes and say sorry it all counts for nothing, Pep changed English football and put England back on the world stage with players so technically gifted that they can play anywhere on the pitch,

I even think it could damage English football, Sponsorship deals, media, and TV rights, and The whole of the Premier League will be darkened and this has never been mentioned, Yes if we are found guilty then I also question why has it taken so look to deal with it and why NOW after the best season any English club has archived in football,

Add to that the insult to a Middle East Royal family. These types of allegations and reputational damage are treated VERY seriously in the Arab region. Culturally smears like this are received very differently in the Arab speaking world. Finding us guilty jeopardises trading relationships and investments too. It’s a nuclear option so The Premier League would have to have a watertight case with irrefutable evidence to satisfy the wider legal and political world. The Premier League and UEFA are playing with fire. This is why I don’t stress too much about it. I’d be amazed if they’re stupid enough to find us guilty.
 
Here what’s going to happen as night follows day. We win against the pl and it goes quiet and city are ignored by the media even if we are top of the prem. Then a few months after UEFA decide to revisit( what they perceive was the wrong judgment by cas) and go for us again with new evidence. Meanwhile I’m sat in my peeing chair in a care home wondering when it’s all going to end.
