It shows people like Daniel Levy up for what he is. No wonder Spurs is one of the most underachieving clubs in the world with someone like him at the helm. He has wasted energy on hating City when he should have focused on his own club. The same applies to JW Henry and FSG. City have taken over in the USA. The backyard of FSG and the Glazers.It has not only undermined their case, it has increased the jeopardy to them involved with a failure to prove the most serious allegations.
Stupid really and, as I maintain, clever of the club to manoeuvre them into this situation. Again. As at CAS.
Waste of energy. Why give him income??Watch it, the ignorance is hilarious.
He’s heard pep might be off at the end of the seasonI saw this yesterday and was wondering when BFS suddenly became so sensible. Maybe he’s after a job at the Club ?
After CAS it died down to nothing more than a whimper and many people kind of moved on. If we win this time, it might take longer for it to die down because this one is on our doorstep and involves domestic rivals and fans of those rivals. However, opposition fans will be made to look like cunts by our fans at every opportunity if they continue to peddle the cheats narrative whenever we play them. Believe me, 1894 will never be short of a display idea again and we’ll be milking it for fucking years. Ironically, if this case goes our way it could be one of the greatest marketing tools the club and fans have ever had!Or what?
I think that is naive. It might slowly fizzle out to a lower level, but won't stop.
But if we are hopefully cleared, I won't really care about the innuendo. I already don’t.
“It seems like it boils down to three counts. What staggers me is how far they've gone back, I don't think the tax man's allowed to go back that far, is he?️Former England boss, Sam Allardyce on ManCity’s 115 charges:
| “It seems like it boils down to three counts. What staggers me is how far they've gone back, I don't think the tax man's allowed to go back that far, is he?
| “I might be wrong because I'm not a tax expert, but if it happened 10 years ago, they should have been brought to task 10 years ago - not now. That was then, this is now. You couldn't get anything to court now 10 years on if you wanted it, so why are they allowed to go beyond that.”
| "If it's on the three counts, then possibly 10 points, maybe 12, if it's really big, maybe 15. People are talking about relegation, but if it’s just boiling down to those three, then it's a point deduction, and they can live with that fine and will get on with it.
| “Everybody will say it won't be enough, and they (City) should be relegated. We won't really understand it because they won't release exactly what's happened behind the scenes.
| “If there's no appeal after that and Man City have to take it on the chin, they will get on with it. If there's another appeal avenue, then Man City will exploit it if they're unhappy with the outcome because that’s their right.”

That’s such a great point. Victory in this legal battle is a huge commercial opportunity for us.After CAS it died down to nothing more than a whimper and many people kind of moved on.

With Levy I’m not sure its “hate” as such - just naked self-interest. They’ve an expensive stadium to pay for :)It shows people like Daniel Levy up for what he is.

Great post overall but, you especially will know that the viewing money is in America where I believe we're the most watched side these days...of course tv figures will just follow who is winning but we are top of the tree at the moment.Never forget that these “clubs” are actually an old boys network that loans out players, determines transfer fees and that on field competition is just one of the business relationships they have.
While it is clear there is an actual sporting competition at the heart of the PL, it is increasingly becoming a business, born of business relationships between multi-billionaire megalomaniacs used to getting their own way.
Mansour doesn’t eat at their table and, as such, has become the object of their hate and derision, much like a bad remake of the movie “Means Girls.”
It is not lost on many that City have completely changed the way PL clubs do business, not only domestically, but in their global CFG business, and there’s a reason it is being duplicated.
Just as people seem to think Boehly at Chelsea is a fucking idiot for the way he is running that club, so you have to understand he is a high level billionaire who operates sports franchises across the globe. He has CLEARLY studied PSR and FFP, and determined they have found where the holes in the Swiss cheese line up!
When you think of the money spent, and the results to date, it looks mental, but he can afford to play the long game, which is why they’ve vacuumed up the best young talent they can find, locked it in for 5-7 yrs and brought in a young manager who learned at the feet of the best manager in the world.
Boehly isn’t looking to 2025, he’s looking at 2025-2030…much like Khaldoon spoke of the 10 year Project here.
We assume these clubs all hate each other, just as we want City players to hate United and Liverpool players. NEWSFLASH: They don’t, and (with exceptions) never really have!
The football business makes too much money for too many serious people for there to be internecine warfare. However, they don’t want an outsider, especially one who has no need to play inside THEIR tent, to reap the majority of the spoils.
It’s no secret that the PL want the red shirts to have success, because their success drives the overseas TV revenues based on their legacy from the 2000’s, when global cable TV took off. Mansour and Khaldoon have upset that apple cart and have yet to come to their table to play nice. After this nuke attack, one wonders whether they’ve chosen MAD or believe they can get away with a pre-emptive strike and destroy Mansour. My money says they can’t and will only serve to inflict self-harm!
TBD.
