Whilst there have been a few encouraging noises recently, it’s far too premature to talk about charges being dropped, a PL climb down etc imo. There’s still a long way to go in the process, and I doubt we’ll hear anything concrete for months, possibly even until next year.
I'm with you on this, but then I'm an old school City fan who always feared there was a disaster around the corner and that was often the case. As a result we have the football version of PTSD and no amount of recent success will fully erase that.
That being said we might be pleasantly surprised with our latest angst. We are the best club in the world, the most entertaining with the most charismatic manager and players. We have provided the premier league with two of the best last day finishes ever. Our worldwide popularity is growing at a phenomenal rate as a result. Dragging out this stench of corruption, which Is what's alleged, against the leagues best club, is damaging their brand whether they want to admit that or not. It's also put the spotlight on their ridiculous ffp rules and fans of other clubs have at long last woken up to their implications. It's in everyone's best interest to get this finished, not least the premier league's.
