The thing is the last time with the Uefa court case we were cleared of any wrongdoings But fined for not releasing our books on time to them or something like that, Even something along the lines of time-barred So everybody still fought we were guilty and it stuck, and the media still ran a witch hunt with both and not Manchester city cleared of any wrongdoings,

Now with the Premier League case being led by the media, It will be impossible to clear our name once and for all,

The Damage is killing us on the global market with the Tag of cheaters, Yes our club's own media team does a great job on that part, But our success both on and off the field should sell itself, but the truth is, its the money and cheaters that get brought up first,
 
It's all very contradictory, not as though I am personally in favour of this system but surely the idea of private investment, is just that, investors use their own money in hope of a return. This FFP and all the surrounding nonsense is about sustainability from other sources, fans, etc. Regarding state ownership, isn't true that our energy companies are owned by other countries.
All very weird.

I'm actually not sure this is true any more. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, PSG, they all been involved in various "scandals" or financial situations and is doesn't seem to harm their profiles.

People need to remember that a bitchy tweet from a 16 year old armchair Man United fan does not represent the court of public opinion. We are growing like mad on the international markets, not least because of Haaland, and that will increase when we win the champions league. For kids it's goals and glory that count.

Without a doubt outside of Europe no one cares about the charges and our profile has never been better, but, I still maintain our reputation and status has suffered badly in the UK and in a lot of Europe.

this will never go away, will it,
the Damage has been done already by the Media the Rags scum and we are guilty end of the story,

I don't see how we can ever recover from this, even if we are found innocent, the money would have bought the verdict and we are bent fullstop

I agree with you apart from the fact I would use the word eradicate instead of recover.
I wouldn’t be surprised if seeking as much reputational damage was the sole MO all along.
It won’t go away and our best way forward imho is to not rise to the bait from other fans, insulate ourselves and laugh at the insecure piss boiling.

Agree with that. Some people seem to give far too much importance to what bored kids in Africa and Asia have to say on Twitter than anything that actually matters.

100% not true bud, lose no sleep over that. How do you think we have so much commercial income? They're not all related to the Sheikh ;)

During the 20 years of success (spit) for the rags they were always tagged with being favoured by the refs and the league. It never did their profile any harm.

There will always be rival fans who will find anything to diminish the success of other teams.

Some on here said Leicester were doping cheats etc.

My brief excursions onto Twitter always amaze me at the sheer amount of total loons and arseholes that haunt the place - excluding some of bluemoons finest of course ;)

There's a Blue on twitter called Wozzer something or other and he posted his blocked list the other day, it was over 5,000 (from memory). That was when I decided to get rid as I just couldn't see the point of a platform where you've got to block that many.

I'm not even so sure about that. When fans of other clubs start celebrating goals by Liverpool and United when they are challenging us for the title, then I will accept we have a problem.

We shouldn't confuse the amount of noise with the size of the problem.
