If Manchester City are found to be proven guilty of these charges (100% believe we won't be btw), i'm not going to care one jot. Because what would Sheikh Mansour be guilty of; investing money into his own football club in a way that a corrupt organisation wasn't happy with. It's not exactly the crime of the century, nor is it even heinous.
An owner wanting to invest their own money in their own business but it was against the (new) rules. Oh my goodness the shame and disgust I would feel. How could I honestly hold my head up high and respect the man any more? "Cheats!" when other clubs have spent more with less success over the same time period, so clearly money isn't the defining factor for success.
Some are acting like he's stolen money, embezzeled it, then used that money to fund underhanded deals, that City were incapable of making £30m transfer deals. We've had smart, business savvy, orchestrators on our board, who've gone after the right targets, given them the best facilities and had patience for it to work.
That's been the secrecy to City's success, not the funding.
