PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Do you really care? Just smile (or text) back T me

no .. I enjoy their obvious pain

Don't think the owners are either, not with the investment going on to expand the ground.

Might be wrong but they've only made one statement 15 months ago.Theyre gonna look pretty stupid to proclaim irrefutable evidence and spend 300m on an upgrade if they're not confident.

Apologies for going slightly off piste but just wondered what others thought about this conversation me and my brother had last week. We've all been so busy defending the allegations that nobody has really discussed how we should feel if we are found guilty.

Like most of you on here I seriously doubt that our owners would commit such a wide range of fraudulent acts when we really never needed to and I believe we have no reason not to trust Khaldoon when he says we have irrefutable evidence to prove our innocence but just playing devils advocate for a moment...

If we were found guilty and it all comes out that the allegations were true and it was proved beyond all doubt that our owners used tactics to circumnavigate/break the rules to gain a sporting advantage - how would you feel about our owners after such a judgement and would you just forgive them for tarnishing our clubs name because we won some (well quite a lot) of trophies?

Would any of you be angry with our owners for taking the club we have loved all our lives and dragging it through the mud for commercial gain and leaving us as fans to deal with the shit show it leaves behind (as we are now)? I feel there would never be any coming back from it as every success from here on out would just be met with the old 115 cheat tag from rivals a they are doing now before our case has even been heard. It would almost be like - what's the point anymore, we were better off without the success but our integrity in-tact.

If the owners brought that upon us I just don't know how I would feel about it all. I think it would be fair to be very angry with them.

I don’t think it can be proven either way but if they had done what we’ve been accused of, I’d be livid tbh as it would have been all completely unnecessary and of no benefit to us, the benefit would have been to the sponsors.

Bet the Premier League won’t be carrying out an investigation when the dippers sell 32 year old Salah for £100m and the rags 64 year old Casemiro for £50m!

If the Saudis give either of those 2 clubs big money for any of their cast offs, then they are fucking retarded, given their interest in Newcastle.

Twitter / X has been off the scale toxic since about 10pm on Tuesday. I can’t even imagine what it will be like from about 6pm on Sunday if things go as expected

It's a platform for wankstains, who gives a fuck what they say.

The Saudis are dumb and blind when it’s comes to MBS rubbish ideology. They will pay stupid money to draw some attention.

There is a very good chance this will be concluded in the closed season, to do so now takes the eye off the product they sell, I have no doubt that the club will be exonerated, it’s just a matter off how the PL climbs down the hill they are stuck on, they need a way out, the whole FFP debacle has been a disaster from start to finish, and it proved to many that the industry can not police itself

It never seemed remotely likely that there would be a settlement before the season ended. They would obviously want to wait until Forest and Everton had secured safety from relegation. Or, if they were relegated, to leave a few weeks before announcing a settlement. Announcing a settlement just as Everton or Forest were relegated would have been ridiculous.

I have no idea if there will be a settlement, but if there is the time to announce it would be between the end of the season and the start of the Euros.

It will be the last paragraph in Masters’ resignation announcement.

Turned out to be bollocks?

Well given the scandalous reporting of 115 has gone off the scale in the last 2 weeks - especially on broadcasters our ITKs told us had received legal ‘cease and desist’ letters, it’s pretty safe to assume that was a load of bollocks.

We were told Talksport had been legally warned - the following day we were being called Lance Armstrong live on air.
