PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Firstly, I’m not suggesting anyone gives them the clicks they crave. I’m not gonna watch it. You only have to see the thumbnail to get the drift…

“Are City guilty?” screams the headline.

Carragher and Scholes as judge and jury.

Imagine if they did this for a fucking murder case, they’d be taken off air.

But City is fair game in the court of public opinion.

Ha ha ha. Fuck me. The 115 charges dissected by Carragher and Scholes. Dear, oh dear.

I don’t disagree but these morons have a huge platform and the club should have nipped this in the bud early doors. You’ve got Spitty there acting like the Pied Piper and yet within the next few weeks, he will no doubt be welcomed into the Etihad to commentate on a game. It’s all wrong. Theres taking the high ground and then there just plain shooting yourself in the foot.

Fair enough. The club seems to be doing OK growth-wise, though, even with shooting itself in the foot. They seem to know what they are doing.

Btw, just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting you are a moron for watching it. You clearly aren't part of their targeted demographic.
 
No wonder the general public are so misinformed about our case when they're forced to listen to the likes of Carragher and Scholes talk about a subject that is seriously out of their depth. Along with sports journalists who all of a sudden believe that they're qualified to make the jump from talking about tactics in a football match to legal law. I haven't a clue about law, but I listen to those who are.

This is the equivalent of asking 2 Piccadilly Gardens spice heads to give their analysis of Pythagorean theorem.

Don’t put yourselves through it.

If city had been offered 6 points penalty I think they’d have taken it. Not saying we are guilty of course but that doesn’t mean a risk that we will be. Would also say people keep saying city are confident etc etc. The PL also have top people working on this case and surely would have stopped things if they think we had no case to answer. Guess the truth is nobody knows and let’s hope we are cleared of all. Although can’t believe they won’t do for for something again which makes me think city would have taken 6 points. Remember we took a pinch with UEFA.

Nothing wrong with the high road, no matter how annoying it may be for us.

Edit: btw, I don't watch The Overlap because it was shit for morons when it started, it is still shit for morons and it will always be shit for morons.

That scouse girl is incredibly stupid and doesn’t do herself any favours in the way she spoke on the Overlap. She represents the intellectually challenged, living in a black and white world of thinking. Making comments like City might ‘get away with it’ and that City have ‘cheated for the last 10 years’ just shows her ignorance and lack of flexibility in her thinking. Unless, she has seen, read and understood ( I mean seriously lol) the case documents her conclusions are based on nothing other than hatred and jealousy.

Sadly that is the case for most of the commentators and practically all the people one meets on the street or in a pub. Hatred and jealousy overriding logic and reason.

I was a moron the first time I watched it. My condition has now improved to be just a ****, but I am fully expecting to be normal again just as soon as I have figured out what normalcy is (or appears to be) these days ......

Hahaha!!

So poor little Chloe has already made her bed, in that regardless of the outcome, City are just going to 'get away with it'.

For anyone wondering why the likes of Talksport and Simon Jordan have their extremely ridiculous opinion on this whole situation, its purely to appease the absolute morons out there, such as Chloe.

The amount of nodding dogs in that audience there just says it all, and explains why Talksport probably make record profits year after year.

Don't think this is a fair criticism of the club really.

When you are accused of what we are accused of, with all the potential consequences that would follow from a finding that the charges have been proven, you concentrate on defending yourself in that process. Of course you can and should state your belief that you are innocent (assuming you do believe this of course!).

But in terms of the PR battle, the starting point is that we have no realistic legal threat we can make against the "City are guilty" brigade. And they know that. Lots of people have said the club haven't done enough here, but I haven't seen a single realistic suggestion of things the club could have done that would actually have made a difference (I've seen suggestions of things the club could have done, but those things wouldn't have made a material difference to the coverage IMO). Say for example we tried to ban Carragher from the Etihad...that might feel great. But he can still comment on our games. And honestly that would only make things worse. It would just feed the "City are cheats" narrative.

All this is known to the club, who have legal and PR advice of the highest quality on tap. There are reasons that they have acted as they have.

The time for a PR offensive on this is after the result of the hearing, not before.

Wonderful Braggster and absolutely spot on.
It never fails to amaze me why some Blue Mooners want us to take/or should have taken action against certain individuals prior to the case.
The time will come which I firmly believe we will win, when some of those biggest gobshites will be warned about any further innuendos/claims of winning by default, will wonder whats hit them.
Koolhand Khaldoon and the rest of the Board will be ready.
