PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[billblu]

City, the team I support unconditionally, are a fantastic football club.

You cannot pick and choose who you support, it's in your bones from your earliest memory.

Half and half scarfers, selfie stick wavers and bandwagon jumpers just don't understand.

Personally, I've seen us win the league cup with Dennis's overhead kick, seen us miss out on the division 1 title by a point and reach the centenary FA cup final in '81, the result of which still hurts.

David fkin Pleat, skipping across the pitch, dropping into division 2 and rising like a Phoenix, thanks to Joe and KK to get back to the PL.

The take over in 2008, not really knowing what to expect, the media even back then couldn't help themselves, sneering and belittling us.

Roberto breaking the mould, winning the FA cup, beating the rags on route..

The PL title in 2012, so nearly typical City too..

Manuel winning our first double in 2014, an achievement once again shockingly ignored by the media at the time.

Pep, what can I say, Pep, agreeing to manage us.

Fundamentally changed the game of football in this Country dispite being dismissed as out of his depth joining the PL..

"His brand of football won't work in England, we lump it up to the big man and work on knockdowns and second balls, none of this tippy tappy nonsense for us, thank you very much"..

What a fkin journey we've been on since..

Doubles
Trebles
Quadruples
Champions League
European Super Cup
World Club Champions
100 points
Most home wins in a season
Most away wins in a season
Biggest point margin in winning the PL
Best team in England over the last decade to name but a few of our achievements.

All achieved by not breaking the bank, dispite the laughable notion that we can spend what we want..

On the other spin of the coin, during all this time..

The rags..
Won nothing of note for 11 years.
Best part of a £billon in debt and absolutely no direction.

Dilapidated stadium and failing FFP this season which didn't so much as cause a murmur in the media.

Lift carpet, sweep under and move on.

The dippers..
Dispite having the best manager and the best players in every position, have been completely in our shadow since bingo rocked up there.

One PL* win since it's inception in 1993 and beating a shit spuds team in a CL final which the dippers reached despite losing 4 games on the way.

Sponsored by a money laundering, terrorist supporting bank.

The other stuff they managed to win was mainly on penalties after failing to score a single goal in 120 minutes of play..

Bingo, this season saw his arse and fucked off mid season, a broken man..

Maybe he knows something is coming over the hill regarding the shit we've had thrown at us and has decided to fcuk off now..

Personally, I must say, "it was a good day for football when bingo decided to jack it in"

The tarquins..
Bottlers, drama queens and losers.
The only team to win consecutive titles at Christmas..

Sponsered by Rwanda who's human rights record is shocking.

Spent more than us over the last 2 seasons at least and won fcuk all..

Not a peep from the media as you would expect.

Spuds..
Won fcuk all in my lifetime or most peoples lifetimes to be fair.

Irrelevant, trophy dodgers extrodinaire..

Absolutely no morals..
Main shareholder has been convicted for insider trading in the US.

Annoying little brother of the above 3..

Fast forward to today..

We have just won our 4th straight PL title, just missed out on a first ever double double too..

No respect, acknowledgement or recognition from the media for our outstanding, never been done before in the history of English football, achievement..

We are not the biggest spenders, we are a fantastically well run, managed and owned club..

We have been a fantastically well run, managed and owned club since our takeover in 2008.

The red shits and their little brother, along with the media, SKY and TNT cannot and will not accept or acknowledge our achievements as they think we are cheats..

Well, listen up, CITY are not cheats, dispite already being hung drawn and quartered by all the twats who have their snouts firmly wedged in the red shirted trough.

It's been said before and I want to say it again, once we are cleared, no doubt we will be hit with a none cooperation charge though, I sincerely hope we go after each and every **** that has besmirched our name..

These twats have no respect for themselves or their positions within the media.

Driven by monetary greed, they'd sell their own grandmother rather than report facts, absolutely no respect for themselves..

What a despicable life these mugs must lead..

Please get them ruined City, it will be scant compensation for all the shit we have had to put up with over the years..!

I read your post out in the voice of Winston Churchill well said sir.Absolute quality post.

Could you ever imagine the Echo not defending Liverpool in their paper if they were in the same position as us. The muen are a disgrace. They have joined in with the rest of the press and run really negative articles, all the time, about City and the charges. Bring back Stuart Brennan, even though he used to go and watch United in the eighties at least he reported fairly on City and defended us all the time.

Owned by the Mirror group now called Reach PLC, who also own the Liverpool Echo

Please City, DON'T agree to any NDAs or restrictions on publishing the findings from both cases.

Exposing the 'clear and organised' decade of conspiracy to destroy our club must be available to public scrutiny.

The club has been subject to years of the most appalling denigration by a viscous client media.

City must insist on the 'right of reply'.....the disclosure of conversations twixt the owners of the cartel clubs could be dynamite and go a long way to 'informing' the minds of the wider football fan base.

This maybe the once and for all opportunity to wipe the slate clean, right the wrongs, and start an new era of wider appreciation of our remarkable achievements.

Please don't miss this opportunity City.

Well for most of us blues this whole witch-hunt has been drawn out to say the least. However I’m sure we all trust our fantastic owners to get most things right. We’ve wanted our City to fight back, and now they’ve picked the right fight that’s worth winning.
It’s predominantly led by the red cartel of clubs, that have more influence than ourselves over other clubs. David Gill, Rick Parry were the originals 14 or more years ago intent on stifling City’s growth and progress. Don’t underestimate their influence over the premier league and its governance.
This is now our fight back with so much to gain and equally to lose, I’m pretty sure that the next 2 weeks will be a massive milestone in our club’s history and the premier leagues also.
It’s time for a totally independent body to govern the game because of the totally inept Masters to stand up to American owners and their far reaching influence of the premier league.
The red cartel of clubs have also wielded that same influence over the selection of the CEO’s of the premier league. The way the media have treated our club is nothing more than a disgrace, again though the far reaching red cartel of clubs have got their tentacles in every media pie for their gain. Let’s hope the emails, watts apps, text messages may well enlighten all of football to the collusion, and our mistrust of the premier league and the red cartels influence.

 

[There is a Light]

This request is maybe the real reason why little Dicky Masters didn’t turn up on the last day of the season. The pressure has been turned on him, and I’m guessing he doesn’t like it one bit.

 

[give it to gordon]

Let’s be honest
If an email was found from arsenal , United and Liverpool saying we need to gang up to stop city from beating us by fiddling the rules
The press still wouldn’t go big on it
It doesn’t serve their purpose or feed the readers they target.

The press/media might not have a choice but to go big against the 3 red tops +1
If its proven that they were the reason the pl lost the case, pl had to pay damages. That it proves the 3 red tops are in control of the pl.

Can you imagine the 16 other clubs voting to throw out the 3 red tops +1 lol

 

[Coatigan]

It will be like that Scottish enquiry several months back where all the WhatsApp messages were deleted…same for the English govt during Covid enquiry where all the interesting messages were deleted…..it looks dodgy as fuck but they can’t prove anything

But the perception, and narrative, sticks.

If there is anyone to milk it though. Doubt there will be in this case.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Imagine the atmosphere in the PL clubs board meetings ??

 

[Coatigan]

My guess would be they expect to uncover collusion by other clubs and the PL and demonstrate complicity in having charges brought against City…..doesn’t have any bearing on the 115 other than to prove what City have been saying all along about organised and deliberate actions

Maybe not, but it (if there is anything in it) drastically changes to context.

And as much as people want to believe it, things don't happen devoid of context.

A points deduction for each of them next season? Imagine the four starting on negative 50 points each... battling with each other to avoid relegation.

OK completely not going to happen but it would be hilarious.
