PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Great response to that irritating bellend Ian Darke

Should’ve asked the **** how much our bench cost.

Not the case, look at any club and usually the kit man is the one that helps build up the camaraderie between the players and the back room staff, who they have to work with on a daily basis, same as Chappie did before him

I've never heard of or seen anything of any other kitman except at our place.

Why?

Just my opinion. I want to see the players celebrating not some bald dude sliding around in his skiddies. I couldn't care less what happens off camera but personally I don't want to see it.

Just remind me who Ian Darke is? Seriously.

Vic Akers at Arsenal was a well-known kit man, who won numerous trophies as manager of Arsenal Ladies before taking on the kit man role. He got the OBE after he stepped down. Jimmy Martin at Everton was another legendary figure. But those are the only ones I could name.

Were talking about if there is something to be found.

And if there is something to be found the FA won't do any deal and the Chairman will still say 'irrefutable evidence'
That's the whole point of the original comment.

Personally I can't see them finding nothing.
You don't spend literally years building a case, drag it into the court only for there to be nothing in it.
They must be pretty damned sure they have spent the time carefully building a case which has some stickiness to it - unfortunately.

Or they were just hell bent on putting our reputation through the grinder regardless of the financial outlay. A way for them to "take the edge off" of having to watch us dominate year upon year...

I really can’t see it mattering one bit to anything. Pep makes a big play of the whole back room team being part of the success and it’s just an extension of that. A few clowns around a serious environment is a good thing and if the players like him then everyone’s a winner.

That’s because you only watch back room videos of City. I bet these characters are in many dressing rooms. Camaraderie and humility matter to Pep.
