PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[slbsn]

Why are people shocked that the whole of football hates City. Not only have we won 6/7 but almost since Day 1 people have been told the club is a hotbed of fraud and cheating - over 10 years of those allegations. Even if it was just one element of those, City would be hated by fans of the other clubs. Two reasons simply embeds it. Not racist, just blindingly obvious.

And of course a collapse is going to attract obsessive schadenfreude - it is the consequence of the above. What do people want? sympathy that we aren't going to do 5/5 or 7/8???

The anti-CITY agenda on the radio and wider media is deep-tooted and systemic (yes, I know - statement of the obvious). I had 5-live on in the car and someone was reporting on Leicester's loss to Wolves and that there next games are against Liverpool and CITY - the host quickly (and in a snide way) came back with - well against CITY that is a guaranteed 3 points for Ruud.

I know I may be being over-sensitive - but it is non-stop

It’s not just the media, those annoying twats at Domino Pizzas have been at again. I’m amazed a) a corporate entity keeps up this type of campaign & b) no apparent pushback from the club. I’ve no problem with likes of Paddy Power taking the piss - as they share it around and they can be funny, but these cunts just target us. Sure they’ll get lots of “likes” and engagement on SM but it can only harm their sales…weird.

My point is you would not use a none City email address for city stuff unless you’re doing something wrong and expecting to be caught. It’s bad practice same as politicians and what’s apps etc

You have zero evidence of this being Pearce’s reasons.

Good job we’re going to win the PL v constant champions case then. We can watch them hurt even more

I would - and have - used my private email on company business etc - it might be “bad practice” but it’s not uncommon. It’s usually for convenience and under particular circumstances - and does not indicate or imply wrongdoing.

I’m afraid much of our support, grown entitled by success, and deluded into thinking it was going to be perpetual, are simply not mentally equipped to deal with a significant downturn in the club’s fortunes which includes dealing with the perfectly understandable reaction from certain quarters outside the club to our recent misfortune.

I've not checked the public docs closely on this point but I suspect SP doesn't have (and never has had) an active MCFC address. He's a NED and always has been

Well at least this season can be the proverbial ice bath for them then!

PS: my 13 year old daughter is now at the stage of crying upon each conceded goal. I have tried to explain how football usually works

What that says to me is theres over the top security policies in place which causes the weaking of overall security of the business. If you ever feel the need to use insecure methods in business then the security team have failed massive and needs replacing

My 17 year old daughter reminded me the other day that I had said to her a couple of years ago that - whilst I was of course glad that she sees CITY winning all the time, I feel she is missing out and she will never appreciate what we FOCs had to go through seeing (and expecting) CITY to lose all the time.

FFS - she thinks this is bad;-)
