PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

If cleared of everything, City will always be referred to as "Manchester City, who were charged with breaking financial rules"

im okay with that as long as we can refer to the rags as rags, who turfed players widows out of club homes after munich and dippers, whos fans killed 30 juventus fans but always play the victims and tarquins, whos manager was convicted of accepting backhanders and spuds, most pointless team of all time.

I accept this to some extent.

If what is being claimed happened then we did cheat.

If we enter accounts and it shows a failing but the accounts are accurate then it is a breach.

It’s probably not as simple as that, but that is part of why it is reported this way.

Yet we breifly hear of transgressions by other clubs that are quickly swept under the rug. Nothing to see here move along. The media control the narrative. How did people suddenly stop talking about the "top four, " now it's the "top six". What next "top sixteen." We see it on the pitch too, blatant penalties waved away that would benefit City. We have seen similar decisions in the last two FA Cup finals. Then we hear " clear and obvious " there was nothing " clear and obvious " about the penalty given to Villa against City. Similarly decisions that should be " clear and obvious " are ignored in favour of certain other teams. One thing that is clear and obvious are the decisions given on and off the pitch where certain teams are concerned and the agenda.

I'll try and narrow your post down a little.

It's all bent!

Can we close this thread

I have it on good authority from someone either inside or well connected to the club who is a reliable and very senior source holding a very high position not to mention their past record …………


We ARE NOT going to pursue any interest in ISCO


N.B. Big Mal said he can’t head it, can’t pass it…… he’s useless

Certainly not in the same class as Barry Conlon….7 appearances, no goals.

I'm thinking our owners just won't wear that that outcome. They will take no prisoners in their efforts to ensure we are found guilty of nothing at all. Complete innocence on all charges and massive PL top level reorganization is their target. They don't seem to care much about the media smears, probably because there's little they can do about them through our legal system.

You’re right but there is precious little they can do to beat, for example, non co-op.

We can have all the intent we like but it's not going to change the balance of forces on the British political scene where the BBC/establishment calls the shots. The best we can do is evade the killer blows. Propaganda and nationalism are deeply rooted opinion and we aren't going to change that prevailing opinion any time soon.

My call is the BBC is not nearly so influential as our owners' UK investment portfolio together with their long standing royal connections.

Correct. Any opposition fan that persists in calling us cheats after we've been cleared had better be prepared to be severely offended. There will be no filters

Unfortunately I doubt the club would see it as a good use of time and resources to go after them all, and would be wary of the possible negative pr blow back of it being spun as an Arab dictatorship going after the free press.
Having said that, I think there would be value in making a legal example of one or two of the worst offenders that have clearly crossed the line many times - Delaney and Harris / magic hat spring to mind.
I also think we'll get caught on the lesser non cooperation charges. Partly because these are so subjective and also to give either party a clear 'win' would be so damaging to the other.

This is the point. City don't need to go after them all. One big win against a media giant like the BBC or the Mail would dissuade anyone else from making false claims against us.

Just back last week fron a holiday in Greece

Got talking to an Arsenal fan from Nottingham one night, his missus a rag from Dukenfield. The usual, where you from etc, then he asked who i support.

As soon as i said City him and his battleaxe were at it. So i let him go on for a few minutes then asked him what he knew about the actual charges. He knew nothing, so i threw in all i knew about Arsenal. Ended the conversation by saying Graham was on the fiddle, his best captain (his words not mine) was a drunk driver, Merson a coke head and Wenger the biggest hypocrite to ever work in football.

That was that.
 
So when we are cleared and dickhead away fans come to the Etihad and continue with the cheating bastards chants would we be within our rights to reduce the following season allocation to these clubs on the basis that I am offended by their nasty words?

Hopefully this won't apply to the trafford tramps as they will be plying their trade in another, lower, division.
