Also Masters finding himself “unable/unwelcome” to present the PL trophy to the four times champions speaks for itself. Khaldoon recently bigging-up Allison Brittain and the lady Chair of the FA tells me that Masters is fucked and the club are looking beyond his toxic regime with an eye to the future.This view that City have been "kicking the can down the road", using "delaying tactics" and that it is somehow an indication of "guilt" is just a nonsense. When there is no trust between an investigator and an "investigatee" or as is now claimant and respondent, and allegations are as serious as this, you do whatever you can to make the process as inefficient and ineffective as possible, using as many weakness in their investigative requests, their rules and their allegations as you can. And, despite what Masters says, the relationship between club and league must be at a near breaking-point. The idea that, if you have nothing to hide, you should just fully cooperate fully or that, as Jordan says, the club should finish this quickly "for the good of the sport" (!) is naive in the extreme. Kindergarten logic.
Easy money for the bookies!If the bookies were that confident of us being found guilty and therefore relegated the price would be nowhere near 12/1.
I wonder how many of the 'They're obviously guilty' brigade are putting a bet on it?
We should banter back to the guilty aspersions “if you are so sure then put money on it, 12/1.”Make the odds look like there's a chance of relegation and droves of idiots chuck money at them.
Deluded hope/enticing odds etc. if we were 2000/1 they'd take nothing, making us 12's makes it seem possible and after all surely everyone knows we're guilty. A winning return must be guaranteed, hell it's almost free money.
A fantastic moneymaker for the bookies.
I have done when I can be arsed conversing with them but, it's amazing how many 'don't bet on football'.We should banter back to the guilty aspersions “if you are so sure then put money on it, 12/1.”

I work for a bookmakers and can guarantee even if found guilty and relegated we wouldn't pay out as there would be an immediate appeal by the club. That would drag on for a year or 2 at most by which time the industry would have to void all bets on that market otherwise every bookmaker would be slapped with some sort of fine from the Gambling Commission. The industry is damned if they do offer the market and damned if they don't
If it was for 'the good of the sport' the charges would never have been made.Also Masters finding himself “unable/unwelcome” to present the PL trophy to the four times champions speaks for itself.

Outside England we are the most lauded team. Irony.If it was for 'the good of the sport' the charges would never have been made.
We'd also be the most lauded club in British football for the holistic benefits that the club has bought to every competition we play in and our regeneration of East Manchester.
Manchester thanks you Sheikh Mansour
DELICIOUS !!
