I don’t give a shit about people on here who want to talk down to people regardless of how true it may or may not be.

However, if it ends up being legit then some of you know it alls are going to look very silly

Sorry, we can explain one more time.

What you've essentially done, is come on here and say that you've heard the result of the Everton game. Now people are talking down to you about this because the Everton game will be decided in the future, so naturally it's not possible that what you heard about it could be true. Therefore the more you fight this corner, the more backlash you will get because it's not possible your mate is correct. Not unlikely, not possible.

I was out last night (the aviator in Woodford, very nice pub)
There was me, another city fan, a utd fan( though he goes and watches county now and doesn't really talk about utd anymore since they went shite) and a Liverpool fan ( from Stockport, plastic as fuck, never been to Anfield once)

So we're all chit chatting and the scouser pipes up what's happening with city and these charges, you're getting relegated. To which I replied I don't know what you're on about, could you kindly explain! He said I don't know what they are but you're in trouble. So I said basically said you haven't got a clue have you and he said no.

(This is the kind of shite we have to put up with)

I said to his Mrs has he suddenly become a financial expert and a sports law analyst to which she started laughing which fucked him off no end, had a face like a slapped arse.

@christopp just seen your post. Great timing eh?!

Could you take me to your next meeting and introduce me to the whistle-blower??

As a matter of interest which supporter's club was it? Or are you going to go all secret service on us and say you can't disclose it lol.

What page is the christopp post on, I want to know what punishment we are getting.

And if it turn out you’re talking shite you’ll look an even bigger **** than we already think you are.

I'm not aware of (a) any threat by City to CAS or (b) any other body we could have gone to.

The appeal route from UEFA is to CAS and CAS only. There are narrow grounds to appeal to the Swiss courts following a CAS outcome but they are very specific. This is maybe what you're thinking of. I don't think there's been many appeals though and I also believe there's never been a successful one against a case heard by CAS .

You've got this wrong mate and when people like slbsn are telling you you're wrong then it's best to listen.

You do yourself a disservice mate, i value you and a few others on this page, just as much as sibsn. I will shut up on this, unless i can find the evidence :)

Get out more mate

Liverpool didn’t have to put up with internet trolls as the official birthday of the internet was 1st January 1983 and Heysel was May 1984. Fun fact.

At least if we’ve done anything wrong it’ll just be us getting punished and not everyone else. Oh, and nobody died.

Dor eh mate, dat’s not fair soft laaa!

Not really.

Just a bunch of angry people on here who can’t handle considering things going a different way and apparently know everything.

Strange bunch

The adult thing to do, in the face of all the things we do know from people who do know more than you, would be to agree this information is shit and quietly disappear from the thread. Or even maybe take the opportunity to learn a few things, so you're better prepared to counter stuff like this if you hear it again.

A very similar story was posted on here a couple of weeks ago and was shown to be extremely dubious at best, and why it was extremely dubious. For one thing the panel has only just finished hearing the evidence and there's unlikely to be an outcome much before Easter. For another, only then will they discuss any sanction. That's why people are angry with you, together with your arrogant attitude when shown to be wrong.

And people who know more than you and who do understand what little we know about the charges have said that's the likelihood of the PL proving their case to the degree required is seemingly very low. Basically that these charges are nonsense and are unlikely to be proven to a level that would lead to a 40-point deduction or £40m fine.

I don't consider it a contentious position to accept that any speculation on punishment for the club is premature. The case is not complete. The evidence presented has only just been finalised in the lawyer summations. The panel will now deliberate before deciding on culpability/innocence, and only then will sanctions be decided upon. As of now, nobody knows what the sanctions are, including the lawyers representing the PL and club.

I'm just waiting for the bomb to drop or City to be exonerated and go out and buy every player we need whilst putting 2 fingers up to the peanut gallery.

Immature yes? but it'll be satisfying :)

Counting the CAS ruling we’ve had almost 5 years of this witch-hunt hanging over us. Has any other supporters ever been subjected to this? It’s beyond a joke.

The media red darlings would never have been charged but if they had imagine the fuss that would be made for their supporters welfare in the media and probably in parliament.

So it’s drags on and on. If any saddo on here (not referring to anyone in particular) or elsewhere wants to post false rumours well the club never says anything so taunting City fans is a free hit. People make money or make themselves look big on the possible ruin of our club. Can’t those that run the club see the effect this has?

I have no problem with us being crap on the pitch (though I don’t like it). I didn’t become a City fan expecting to see us win trophies. But this other matter is leaving a bitter taste.
