They should've been on the terraces.If you look at the final whistle in Istanbul, half our players fell to the ground, with several actually weeping. The joy came later. The pressure had taken its toll and we should have taken note then.
Unbridled joy, tears of joy & relief.
Laughter.
Stultification.
Trance.
Hugs.
CEO takes the longer term decisions about direction and strategy, COO takes care of all the daily nuts and bolts.Other way round. De Vries reports to Soriano.

But Juventus they were the top dog running the football over there
We all know Manchester City is not a powerhouse club in the Premier League and has little say in the rules and changes made., We also know United are the main power in the Premier League and don't want us building a history better than theirs,
100% if we are found guilty it will finish Manchester City and Sheik Mansour owning the club, they don't just want punishment us, but they want to finish us and make us that little old city again.
Forget the investment and infrastructure or shareholdings because they will be worthless if found guilty
The scariest thing is it could all end overnight and everything would be a major problem: Manchester City would be left penniless and all the money gone.
Yes the stadium will be finished and over 60.000 capacity, but we would never fill it in the championship and the corporate and hospitality would struggle and it would have to be closed because of the cost of running it on match days.
A Guilty Verdict would be a life sentence
Mate log off and do something else. Genuinely.

CFG own half of the coop live. It is true that we can’t count any of its revenue in our figures hence the new development.City don’t have any investment into Co-op Live, nor any recompense when they sell beer to our fans on matchday.

Why would this Summer be the key? The case has been ongoing since Feb 2023 and for years before. Unfortunately the reason we haven't bought enough is far simpler than the charges
Go on mate……
It's amazing how many of our fans think a few bad results mean our seat at the top table is over.Even if we get relegated, we will come back. It might take a few seasons to reach the top again. Juventus in 2006 is a good example—after they returned to Serie A and built a new top team, they went on to win the Scudetto 11 times in a row. In the long run, the worst thing that could happen to our rivals is if we go down.
Funnily enough, we’re now in a similar situation to the season before Pep arrived. We have a squad with an average age that’s way too high, and due to the legal process and constantly shifting regulations, we’ve struggled to recruit. It’s 2015/16 all over again, except this time we don’t have a KDB, Aguero, or Fernandinho to save us.
Embarrassing how little resilience some fans display.

You have a suspicious mind?Yeah but he's a liar and I'm not sure about you :-)
C'mon mate... if the shit really hit the fan it would get political and it would never end like thisBut Juventus they were the top dog running the football over there

There are a few ex City players who could serve on the board. They would improve matters. Where are board meetings held? I’m guessing AbuDhabi. Why not Manchester?The saddest thing for me is the first time in my lifetime there is lack of individuals with real Manchester City connections. I get football clubs are businesses, but I'm bored of hearing about CFG. Maybe part of our problem is the finances and resources of the group are spread to thin. I'd love owners whose sole focus is on our club not other clubs who have no link to Manchester. For me our owners global ambitions have been put ahead of heritage of our club. Fans who have supported the club for a long time have been put to the back of the queue. The club has become a mirror image of everything I hated United and Liverpool for. If we are found guilty I suspect the Premier League and its member clubs will be pushing for changes in our ownership. The club is at a crossroads. They need to make sure they don't lose a connection with us so called legacy fans. Peoples patients was being tested by the way we are treated by the club even before the poor run started...
