PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Worryingly rational comment from Simon Stone:

Martin, Birmingham:
Do you think the continuing secrecy around the investigations into Man City's PSR compliance is harmful to the integrity of the Premier League and especially so if they win a fourth consecutive title or a 'double double'.

Simon stone
When you say ‘secrecy’, what is it you want to know? There is a case, which we think will be held in the autumn and which will be behind closed doors. As it is a private case, within a private organisation, there is nothing unusual in that. Then the case will be assessed, then there will be a verdict followed, at some point, by the written reasons, which will be lengthy and detailed and explain what has happened.

Do you want this all to be out in the open, like a legal trial? I admit, it would be fascinating. But it isn’t going to happen. I also accept the time it takes – and the fact Manchester City could win a second title since the charges were brought in a matter of weeks – is frustrating. But I am not sure what the alternative is. It is a complex legal case.

No youre wrong, to a point. They are looking to fill a void in there lives that comes down to success.
If it was just about filling a PL void why dont more support fulham or palace? Why all united, liverpool and increasingly us?

No they are sad needy pricks who need to fill some empty success space in their lives

Mate, I literally spoke to my former colleague who told me about this local club thing. I knew he was a Rag & originally came from Scarborough, but it never crossed my mind why he became a ManUre supporter.

As for being needy for success. This fella was professionally VERY successful. As for why support Palace or Fulham, you missed the bit where I mentioned the big CL nights which neither club are involved with.

ManUre were the big boss at the time, so he literally chose to support them & followed up his support by studying at UMIST & settling in Manchester after graduating.

He worked for our company whilst doing his PHD in Computer Science, & eventually left for a senior position working for Cunard on wages we couldn't hope to compete with.

The only non-successful part of his life was supporting Scarborough, which he resolved by becoming a Rag season ticket holder.

Yeah so it still filled a void that the only thing not successful was his football team so he ‘chose’ united , still the same

By bizarre coincidence I knew a Tory local councillor called Kershaw. Slightly strange bloke, memory might be playing tricks but if I remember correctly he had very blonde hair, slightly John Inman (ish) in demeanour.

I doubt if any Tory local councillor has ever said “I’m free”. Their charges tend to be on the high side
