About 30 miles down the East Lancs Rd???Here's my naive little blue tinted view of things.....
A few questions. Unless the answer is No to the majority, it is a witch hunt and we should have nothing to answer to:
- Have City added to the success and marketability of the Premier League? I.E. have we helped create value for the League, their Directors, employees, other clubs, etc.?
- Has City's presence been a force for good in the Community?
- Have City generally set an example of how to run a Football Club in a 1st class way?
- Have City been solely or largely responsible for creating an environment in the League where success is impossible without money?
- Has City's way of running the club unfairly affected club staff, young players, coaches or other employees?
- Have City been unethical in their business practices, employment contracts, external Contractor dealings, or in any other way to consistently draw justified criticism?
I could go on and on.
Compared with other big clubs, I don't think any club has contributed more to the excitement of the Premier League, improvements in the Community and forcing other Clubs to look at and improve themselves more than City have.
If we are criminals, where are the victims?

The more time passes, and the more we find out, it is looking increasingly clear that the realistic sanctions are nothing like as severe as originally mooted.
Also, IF we are found guilty of anything it certainly won't be on 100 or more charges, it will be much, much less.
I think rival fans, giddy journalists and pundits will be sorely disappointed with any punishment if any is given.

I definetly get the impression they are going to drag this out whilst pep is still under contract with us at the very leastHope so, Ric. Did your contact at the club give any indication as to how many months/years they expect this cloud to hang over us?

It was the lack of publicity that astounded me , but that’s the anything that plays in red arse licking fraternity isn’t it , can you imagine that being us doing that , it’s as bent and corrupt as fuckIt does.
But to this day, ask any City fan and they still don’t understand why City took the money from the Scousers, which effectively closed the case, and gave the FA the excuse they needed no to intervene.

liverpool didn't really "hack" City, it was a stolen login and password an ex employee took with him to liverpool. Shady as fuck, but not hacking.To the Liverpool hack
People said that before CAS, and it never happened then. I think it’s wishful thinking. At best we might be able to demonstrate that other clubs have been doing some of the things we’re accused of. The notion that we have something completely incendiary seems a little fanciful though.I’m still of the opinion that City have information that could blow the lot up , Ajays post the other day alluded to it
The funny thing is we let them off but it shouldn’t have been up to us, regardless of any payment the premier league should’ve, should charge them.All this shit heightened when the spiegel shit came out, has anyone considered why we let Liverpool off so lightly with the database hack ? Are City about to blow the lot up ? Keeping our powder dry maybe?
They cheated and then payed their way out of it.
We know what would happen the other way round.
Liverpools case - time barred
City’s case - 2009
Clear as fucking day.

Good question! For starters, they can’t hang, flog, imprison, seize assets, freeze bank accounts or destroy property.What penalties are within their powers though?
