PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[BillCarlisle]

I've said all along to my fellow Blue mates that we will undoubtedly be found guilty of non co-operation (but who in their right mind would co-operate with someone trying to screw you ?). In the absence of any notes to the latest Accounts suggesting we may be at financial risk arising from the PL charges, I am even more confident that we'll be found otherwise not guilty. I'd be amazed if Lord Pannick hasn't already advised Khaldoon accordingly. Unfortunately the mud has already stuck and in the eyes of other fans we'll always be cheats. Who cares ? Certainly not me. Khaldoon will 'take the pinch' for non co-operation, having already instructed Lord P to tell them to go fcuk themselves for the remaining charges or we'll see them in the High Court. That's my take on it anyway.

Or, it could be the fact that these players , who’ve dragged the club to an unprecedented run of success, inc an unheard of, unbelievable, 4 titles on the run, have finally run out of gas. I don’t get how some people don’t understand the mental and physical toil for the last 6,7,8 yrs on these players, and that it had to end at some point. Or, yeh, it could be that koolhand has told the players we’re fucked.

I get it but why has the exhaustion kicked in now.

We can’t deny that it is coincidental timing.

From what I have read, the PL was hardly cooperative when it came to the Etihad sponsorship renewal. Didn't they delay the decision for ages and refuse us access to their reasoning for knocking it back? What's good for the goose...

I would doubt that your management will be giving too much away to the players but the fact is that the IC despite rumours to the contrary have now heard the evidence brings a different perspective.
Hey all this is speculation but there is something significantly impacting and sorry I don’t think it is coincidence that your current poor run of form broadly aligned with the commission sitting

Haha

Yea it had a real impact when we won the league in May. It’s still 2024 right?

The erm posters allowed to comment on such an important topic should not be extended to rival fanbases.

We know you hate us and we know why!

No need to pretend.

Ah but the charges blah blah blah blah.

Go look in the arse trophy cabinet for the league win in December award. Better still come visit the etihad and get your picture taken with the real thing.

The players won’t have been told anything negative and even if they had been that would have come well after the run of bad form there is nothing bad to tell officially even now. And based on other evidence or at least conjecture the hearing has gone well

It HAS to kick in at sometime. When would have been acceptable?

you think, you wish, whatever.
The fact we lost Rodri then immediately went on a losing streak, then lost Stones, Grealish, Kevin, Dias, Foden... Had to play youths, None of that is coincidence?
Hows about the fact City have lived with this guilty-by-media verdict for years yet won so much stuff during that whole period? And then the 115 charges - They land and all it did was inspire this team to win a treble. Check the dates, it inspired us to beat everyone especially the PL.

Thats not the actions of a guilty party.

Your beliefs are as wide of the mark to City fans, as it is for YOU to believe what City fans think - that this is all trumped up by a cabal of media, institution, and red clubs with too much influence and financial gain to lose.,

Purely coincidental. Nothing more to it. I tend to prefer fact than fiction. We've had this 115 thing hanging on us for some time, but we did OK in 2023 and most of 2024.

The facts we do know is that we've had a lot of injuries and we've not churned depreciating assets. Plus, the big psychological blow to the team has been losing Rodri for the season. Guess what, City's performances have been poor without Rodri. Quelle surprise. That is the significant something.

Unless there's damning new evidence, City will be fine. Your theory is a red herring.
