Surely we will have the further information from the APT case plus the costs before the end of the January window and maybe even some news on the 115 before the end of the window. Just as we need a January window for once. Could be interesting ?
Two seasons is plenty. We were in a worse position before Pep joined and he won 100 points in his second season.And a manager that is going to commit to more than 2 seasons, if we need a rebuild (fuck knows if we do) then we need someone else's vision at the helm who will have to work with the players.

Besides, he'll be here beyond 2027 anyway.
Hmm you might be right. With the rumours of sheikh mansour having to step in coming out. Why would he have to do that if we’d won? At the end of the day I just can’t wait for the whole shit show to be over!Will anyone else feel cheated if we win the case, in that we witnessed the best football team english club football has seen this past 8 years, and for a lot of it large sections of the media and opposition fans have dragged our name and achievements through the mud and failed to acknowledge our greatness.
In our hours of glory they’ve snidely put us down.
I’ll be going to town on every last one of them if we are victorious
On another note,
The negative side of me is starting to think that everyone is too confident though and it might be a shock verdict for us all
Maybe he's annoyed and hugely insulted at being labelled a cheat, and wants to confront his accusers face to face. Arab culture is different from ours. It's a "face culture" like huge parts of Asia, whereby embarrassing someone openly is s huge insult and has severe consequences.Hmm you might be right.

If it’s a “trial” as such. With witnesses and such I’m sure you’d have to say who’s taking the stand before the trial starts,and not just decide to bring someone in at the drop of a hatMaybe he's annoyed and hugely insulted at being labelled a cheat, and wants to confront his accusers face to face.

I think it is fair to say that it is solely the UK media who continually are against us. Not saying the global media does not occasionally have a go but you do right to ignore the domestic media lies and biased views.I genuinely couldn’t give a shit what rivals or the media think just as long as we’re cleared.
The memories and moments I’ve seen cannot be sullied regardless of the outcome and certainly won’t be affected by what some gobshite thinks.
I thought the whole point of the club's footballing structure was that the manager is just another cog in the wheel (albeit the most important).2 seasons definitely isn't enough if he wants to bring players and hand them over to a new manager, it should be the new manager bringing the players in.
It's all a bit wishy washy and posey for my liking, I want details :)
I would hope that we have documented proof of the reputational damage done by the media and rival clubs over the past few years and sue them to fuck.Will anyone else feel cheated if we win the case, in that we witnessed the best football team english club football has seen this past 8 years, and for a lot of it large sections of the media and opposition fans have dragged our name and achievements through the mud and failed to acknowledge our greatness.

Biggest “Sports Washing” outfit? Standard Charter to wash away their sins being caught and fined numerous times for laundering terrorists moneyFunny how sportwashing was flung around for City, Newcastle and even british cycling for using shell as its sponsor but since scruffy Jim and his dodgy petro chemical company have bought into the rags Stone and Roan dont mention it anymore.
Nothing to do with recruiting or squad management imhoNow thinking this whole trumped up shit show is having it's desired affect.
A prolonged period destabilising and mud slinging to bring us down.
City have not recruited as well as we have done over the last couple of years and possibly forced into selling young promising assets with value and relying on older players on the decline who we would normally have let go.
The case is about levelling up.The Dips are romping away early doors when they really aren't that good.
Can't see any conclusion now until the January window is firmly shut.
The powers that be, including the Cartel because they have as much influence on the game as the authorities which is corruption in plain sight, want a new name on the title, preferably one of the 3 redshits!

How many of the managers currently in situ at the rest or the PL clubs will still be here in 2 years? We actually have more stability than the vast majority of the rest2 seasons definitely isn't enough if he wants to bring players and hand them over to a new manager, it should be the new manager bringing the players in.

Spot on. City get a better press abroad than we do at home.I think it is fair to say that it is solely the UK media who continually are against us. Not saying the global media does not occasionally have a go but you do right to ignore the domestic media lies and biased views.
I've moved on a little. Whilst still accepting there could be a negative side to any verdict, I'm waiting for the repercussions and the soul searching in the press, of why they brought the charges in the first place, and the possible motivation behind it.I genuinely couldn’t give a shit what rivals or the media think just as long as we’re cleared.

It’s not a trial it’s a tribunal hearing maybe a list of witnesses has to be provided pre hearing maybe not? They don’t take the stand and maybe HH was on the list especially his position in the UAE government being busy I’m sure he would have to have it factored into his scheduleIf it’s a “trial” as such. With witnesses and such I’m sure you’d have to say who’s taking the stand before the trial starts,and not just decide to bring someone in at the drop of a hat
