PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bluetonium]

They’ve put their own video on YouTube. It’s an hour long so can’t be arsed watching it. Hatchet job on CAS from what I can see.

Apologies if this has already been posted and discussed or if this is the one people are already talking about.

Thing is, if we had cheated the system even to the tune of trillions, but not won a thing, they'd not care one jot.

This is about having their noses shoved out of the trough, their business models destroyed and good old plain jealousy.

Turned it off in less than 20 seconds.

“People are saying” I had visions of Donald Trump, fuckem.

So basically, CAS bad, 115 charges good, but then final statement that the current governing bodies not fit for purpose ‍

Or basically any organisation that actually looks at the evidence and forms an impartial opinion that doesn’t coincide with City being guilty of everything because “everybody just knows” is bad.

I'm cool with the boss. Not in the slightest worried.

Ffp might have been fair if all clubs started at the same level of income

It won't be that much of a super league without 'the best team in all the land and all the world' in it!

That’s the problem for them. If access to the ESL is on merit we will dominate. If it isn’t they will encounter the same backlash as last time.

"It is believed.."
"There are rumours.."
"I have heard from a reliable source.."
"There's a school of thought.."

Utter shithouses

The thing is we’ve just taken £300m for winning the treble & in their opinion, that’s their £300m. How fucking dare we not know our place.

That ‘exclusive’ YouTube vid has certainly got fans of the Red Cartel snapping like starved sticklebacks.

I wasn’t too fussed about the forthcoming season, there’s no real pressure on us now the CL monkey off our back has been lifted.

Ah sod it, let’s go for an unprecedented 4 in a row, and B2B CL’s at Wembley with 60-70k Blues and thousands more in the bars, before we get relegated back to Division 2 (which won’t happen anyway)

“115 charges, you’ll never sing that”

I like the cut of your jib..

I always used to be (I hope) fair minded about footy, given the coaching I enjoyed as a kid when playing. This meant respecting your opponents on the pitch, recognising their talent and trying to out-think them to win games.

It also spread into the way I viewed teams other than City, enjoying the way they played and wishing them well in Europe (eg Spurs under Bill Nicholson; the Liverpool sides under Paisley and Dalglish; Kendall's Everton; Forest under Cloughie; Arsenal under Wenger and so on..) Same went for many continental sides that played the game the way I enjoy watching it.

I always advocated that the game was all the better for the sharing of trophies.. West Ham win the FA Cup one year, Coventry City the next and so on again.

But since the shenanigans that started in 2008 with the collective efforts of the 'Hateful 8/9', the G14 and subsequently the G18, my attitude has changed altogether. Earlier this year, when the latest nonsense began against us yet again, I posted the following. Somehow, I don't expect my opinions of our detractors, both in the game and in the media, will ever change back to those of my younger years. In answer to the question 'Would you prefer PL or CL this season?', I wrote:

"Nah, f*ck it and f*ck 'em all among the rest of the so-called football 'family'.

I want the quadruple, to be followed by the quintuple when the Community Shield is played for the following August.. what a team photo that would be..

And then I want it for the next three consecutive seasons. At least..

I'm getting forgetful.. did I say 'f*ck the rest of them all'?!"

But it's ok for the Rags and Chelsea.

No, it's the same for everyone. You can borrow as much as you like, you can invest as much as you like, but you can't spend more than you earn.
