PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Didsbury Dave]

I assume he means leaving the password open with the geezer that fucked off to the scousers, not exactly hacking more ineptitude.

OK. But still some clown fucked up our security with catastrophic consequences. It happened on somebody’s watch.

Thread has turned a bit silly.

Firstly we don’t know the outcome so the “when we’re cleared” posts are premature.

Second, imo we won’t be cleared of “everything”. There’ll be something, somewhere, most likely non-cooperation, we get “done” for.

If this happens, it’ll be impossible for City to come out with any kind of statement that puts all this to bed. The man in the street will always be able to say “cheats, you just made it too difficult for them to prove it by hiding all the evidence”.

My view, at this stage, is that’s been the aim all along. A long, drawn out, expensive character assassination and a powerful way of asterixing the club’s achievements.

Get cleared of the 130 charges and then win it all again?

I think any City fan that truly believes, in their own mind, that our achievements are in any way "tarnished" whatever the outcome are submissive weakdicks who have allowed themselves to be mentally dominated by opposition fans and club-affiliated media content providers like Neville and Carragher.

If the argument is that some neutrals have been convinced that our achievents have been "tarnished" by the relentless propaganda, I'd agree but don't care because that will wear off with time. Our records will speak for themselves and, in some cases, "echo through eternity".

As for opposition fans, they know the truth and it suits them to keep coming out with this shit because it helps them to cope with their pain. A pain that I, personally, find a daily delight.

If we are cleared, I have no doubt the club will make its feelings known through Khaldoon. He has said so.

There has been an issue with IT use for years. Even when Garry Cook copied in his notorious email to Nedum’s mum by mistake. It cost him his job! It has been a human and a technical problem.

Try what shit again?

As for the rest of your post, embarassing.

I think a few people need to go away and research Khaldoon and exactly how he operates, he is not getting involved in some shit slinging match via statements and PR backhanders in the media.

I dont realy care what he usualy does .
He represents Manchester City wich most here have supported long before he knew they existed.
If they want City to be the biggest and best club in the world they must act , they are losing the fight and if they thing they are not in a war they must wake up.

Much as I enjoy that sentiment, it would be wise to remember where that course of action lead. We wouldn't want the whole building coming down on our heads in order to satiate a need for vengeance in the heat of the moment.

I am however comfortable our ownership has a wide reach and a long memory and that retribution will be served untraceably cold with malice aforethought.

Piping hot or colder than a well digger's arse. I'm comfortable with either!

Little old City had plenty of fans. I know, I was there. According to the numbers we had 25,000 turning up when we were crap. Allowing for fiddling of the match day take, it was 30,000 in reality. I remember one occasion when we got 30, 000 plus on a weds night in Div 2 and the rags got 25,000 that Saturday in div1.
You could argue that the current regime have forgotten us FOCs and our loyalty.

I know we was never a little club, but we was a badly run club for 40 years, The football world forget Manchester City was bigger than United from the mid 60s to about late 70s, Sky Premier League from 1993 was all about united and it was wall to wall self promote the shit out them,

Now its Sky's and the media job to try and demolish Manchester City image by any means, but sadly for them we have not buckled and we have grown to become a major club in the world,

We were also bigger than that rabble in the 1920s and 30s. Most of their "history" stops at WW2.

Not sure that’s strictly correct but there was definitely an equivalence during that period and we were definitely ‘bigger’ than United before WW2, for whatever that is worth.

NO..

Do it even better and break all our own records and smash United and Liverpool records
