PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules
- Thread starter ayrshire_blue

He actually went as far as to say "I wouldn't wish that on them" when asked if City getting found guilty in the PL case would help United. Not that it really matters at this stage, but it does seem to represent a bit of a shift from our Trafford neighbours.There have been a couple of murmurs on this thread that perhaps Jim Ratcliffe might be looking for United to have a better off the pitch relationship with City which in turn might be a good thing for us with regards to the PL investigation. All speculative of course but it was interesting seeing some of his comments about us. In addition to the below, there was also reference to Berrada’s departure and how amicable the discussions were compared to Newcastle digging their heels in over Dan Ashworth:
"They are one of the best teams on the planet," Ratcliffe said of Man City, champions of England for three years running.
"We have a lot to learn from the noisy neighbour, and our other neighbour [Liverpool]. They are the enemy at the end of the day and there's nothing I would like better than to knock both of them or one of them off their perch.
"But equally, we are the three great northern clubs and we're all quite close to each other," he added.
"They've been in a good place for a little while. Both of them. There are things to be learned from both of those clubs.
"They've got sensible organisations, great people in the organisations and a driven elite sort of environment that they work in. And as a consequence, the results have dropped out of the bottom. So I'm very respectful of them, but they're still the enemy."

And fuck everyone of them.

Come on Ric don't get sucked in....everything anyone from there says or does has only one purpose and that is to benefit the rags.He actually went as far as to say "I wouldn't wish that on them" when asked if City getting found guilty in the PL case would help United.

Oh ... that's alright then, Jim, all is forgotten. Specially made up 'financial rules', letters to the PL, manipulation of UEFA, pressure on CAS, nicked signings (that went well, didn't it) and my favourite, bent referees in derbies. It's all water under the bridge now.
Not. I wouldn't turn my back on any of them.

Ha, don't get me wrong. I don't really give a shit what Brexit Jim thinks of us, and there's obviously an ulterior motive for some of his quotes (probably because they might need to groundshare for a season or two if they rebuild Old Trafford). I just thought it was noteworthy in the context of this thread.Come on Ric don't get sucked in....everything anyone from there says or does has only one purpose and that is to benefit the rags.

He also said he spoke to Omar about the charges and he said he has no worries about it.
Probably wants Abu Dhabi to fund his new stadium when the UK government tells him to do one.He actually went as far as to say "I wouldn't wish that on them" when asked if City getting found guilty in the PL case would help United.

If those cunts want to groundshare then they can do so at Anfield.Ha, don't get me wrong.
