PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Depends if you think sending emails through official channels is underhanded.

Look, I'd love for the charges to be dropped but realistically it isn't going to happen.

I have faith that the club will do what they did at CAS and show that they're not guilty of the charges.

Yeah, I’m not expecting the charges to be dropped. I want us to go through the full process and prove our innocence. I’m referring to what might happen after that. If successful, and we can prove that this was a witch hunt then I’d like us to take action against those responsible. For example, I don’t think Pep would be so stupid as to reference Daniel Levy for no good reason

Sending emails isn’t the problem but I think it would be naive at this time to think over 12 odd years that there hasn’t been an email or two sent to first Scudamore and the Masters that hasn’t mentioned City or Arab money in a derogatory manner from either Liverpool, United or Arsenal forcing investigation or general comments in a negative manner that can then be interpreted as discriminatory or influencing the Premier League to take action on one club?

You’re starting to do my head in mate.

You’re presenting your view, over and over, as fact, when the fact is you have absolutely no idea what is and isn’t in the emails.

I'm repling to peoples posts, which isn't against any rules on here.

If you don't agree, then fine, no problem for me.

The fine was reduced from £30m to £10m, I recall! Feel free to correct if I’m wrong.

The sanction from UEFA was a two year ban and a 30 million fine for all the charges. There was no split for non-cooperation. CAS found 10 million enough for the one proven charge of non-cooperation on its own, without any mitigation.

It's explained in the award.

I think we wanted it in court though didn’t we anyway as we didn’t trust UEFA with the information? It would appear the same tactic maybe used again although maybe this time mitigation could be argued with the likes of Matt Lawton having leaks from the Premier league again which then drives up the hate towards the club?

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..!

Applause.
Except our first double was in 1970.
Rag! ;)
