I didn't need time to pass to know it was a witchhuntOriginally maybe, but as time has passed no.
The more I hear and see the more I believe it’s a witch-hunt.
I’ve gone from being slightly worried to finding the whole thing funny.
The way we’re being reported on, the way other fans are obsessed with us.
Add to that the fact that some fans are finally waking up to what ffp/psr is all about and now crying about it.
I love reading all the comments and seeing piss being boiled on an industrial scale.
A few of my current favourites..
“Small club”
“They’ll get away with it cos the PL won’t punish one of the big boys”
Hmmmmmm : )
“The PL is corrupt”
Never enters their small minds that the corruption just maybe again us.
I’m just enjoying the ride.
All part of being a City fan.
I made it through relegation,Stuart Pearce and the day we ran out of chips so I’m sure I’ll be alright.
What we need to do is get ourselves i the worst lawyers out there to satisfy the masses that we didn't buy our way 'out of it' whatever that means. Like you say fuck em.That's just not going to happen. If City were completely exonerated, the PL would lose face to an extent hardly imaginable. And in any case, even if City were exonerated, do you suppose for one minute that among the common-or-garden supporter fanbase in England (which is at least partly pig ignorant and wallows in its ignorance like a pig in mud), there wouldn't still be mutterings, for ever and a day, about how City oiled (yes, deliberate choice of word) their way out of it with their hotshot legal team.
The mere fact of having been accused is enough to fuel the resentment for ever. Personally, I can live with that. Water off a duck's back. Fuck em.
Good question. I don't think they will do that as they will want to protect their asset. More likely is they will get frustrated with the strait jacket that is ffp or PSR and sell up and invest their filthy lucre somewhere else.Great post. Seeing as you metioned the rich owners of Stoke and Newcastle I would like to throw in a curveball. What if a similarly rich owner says whats the point of spending millions on my Club if I can never get any glory for our supporters, if all the rules favour the red tops and Spurs, who have a stranglehold on the rule makers. So I am winding the club up as I see no point in continuing to fund a hopeless sporting case. The opposite of saving Bury, Macclesfield, Portsmouth and the Readings of the sporting pyramid that the rules are supposed to help, which we all know is double speak for protecting the money for the red tops and Spurs.
That's exactly what I meant. I was aware of that well before the Der Spiegel articles and that the source of the revenue was from central Abu Dhabi funds. Unlike the person who likes to be described as "an investigative journalist" or "football finance expert".Nick Harris. Seriously, that twister of words. I imagine what @Prestwich_Blue meant, if he did indeed say that, was that the Etihad sponsorship money came from two sources: Etihad's marketing budget and the majority from central funds. It's all explained in the CAS award.
Take a few deep breaths and relax.

Yes just heard Leicester are getting done wtfFucking hell the Premier League are even charging clubs not in the Premier League now!
The more the better in my selfish opinion. The tide is rapidly turning and clubs are coming round to what we have been saying for yearsYes just heard Leicester are getting done wtf
Absolute bollocks. Rangers not only were paying players through 2 separate accounts, but they also went bust and were liquidated. It is not the same thingRangers were almost destroyed by this kind of kangaroo court full of haters, ten years later it was deemed a malicious prosecution but the damage to the club finances and playing squad were enormous
BullshitThat’s what happened on planet Celtic but not in the real world
Good old ‘doing things the right way’ Leicester surely not!Yes just heard Leicester are getting done wtf
