Yep. That's my gut feel as well. Before it was the charges we were hammered for spending money. City fans have had to develop thick skins over the last few years. In the eyes of the media and rival fans we're guilty anyway, it just depends on what degree. We could be categorically cleared of every charge and they would argue it's because of our expensive lawyers. As if the Premier league can't afford anyone half decent with all the money those shysters collect year in and year out.
I'm completely numb to it all. Having previously got quite down about this hanging over our heads, I took a step back and now don't read any news reports about it and largely try and ignore the social media ramblings of ignorant rival fans.
As Khaldoon says, we aren't responsible for the failings of other clubs. City could be found guilty of every single charge and it wouldn't have disadvantaged united. They've outbid us for several players and been woefully mismanaged at every level. They're the Disney land of football and seemingly let Mickey Mouse have free run of the place. Easy to blame City over their own incompetence.
