PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Taklshite want our hearing brought forward , they want instant retribution for our club because we have f*cked up their core audience of Rags & Dippers and they can only now pick up the scraps from our table . Would prefer to get all this bullshit out of the way but it is small compensation that the likes of Simon Jordan , Jim White and many other pundits get so wound up.

We are expecting a decision around autumn according to the rumour mill but if any of the charges do stick then expect an appeal and another few months of pundits gnashing their teeth and demanding their pound of flesh, it will be all the more enjoyable if or when we eventually get exonnerated of every single charge.

Maybe some of us try to brush it off because we have witnessed the best football any club in the history of the Premier league has played , but beating these charges and proving all the know-nowt f*ckers wrong would be as sweet as any league title.

That's why I pointed out this answer he gave in an old interview, in the media thread . He talks about trust fund babies and inherited money. He says he has no respect for people like Eddie or Sheikh Mansour because in his eyes, they've not earned the right to have what they have:



Some may think he has a point if you take it at face value(business is rarely if ever fair like that because it's not an ideal world). However, what he really means is they haven't earned the right to compete at all with people like him, in his eyes(which is nonsense). He's not a businessman or a football club owner these days, so he's taken to siding with those who he identifies with instead, which is why he still has double standards and agendas.

Go back and listen to him when he brown-nosed Todd Boehly near the start of the season. He was near enough defending their position on the transfer business and the finding of loopholes. Without going back to find actual quotes, I seem to remember the gist of his arguments were:

'They're only doing what they think will help their club and if no rules were broken, it's on the rule makers'

and

'People like Boehly and his people are smart, I think they know what they are doing. Ruthless but good business sense'

Night and day to how he would view those strategies, if a state or a royal from the middle east with inherited fortunes had done the same(ethics/morals, the spirit of the rules, fairness in sport would all come into play in his reasoning). He's only changed his stance because he's either realised how obvious the double standards are(always denying he has agendas) or he knows Chelsea are in trouble and it's not a defendable position. Even when he's talking about players, you can tell he still views everything through the lense of an owner, who sees players as his property, who should do as they are told and be grateful. He's not the objective, no nonsense person he likes to present himself as.

You don’t have to look too deeply to see the enormous chip on his shoulder.

Not for the first time I'm struck by the fact that Simon Jordan has a deep desire to be the smartest man in the room and that he has chased that desire to being in a room with ex-footballers and tabloid journalists taking calls from drunk football fans. Hmm. It might tell you something about what happened when he was in other rooms.

The **** should be in a padded one.
