PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

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

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.

No need to apologise. It’s the hope that dies last. Hang on to it.

A lot of truth in this. Pretty much every goal we have conceded has started straight in the middle of our midfield by people running past Gundo and Rico or has been a blunder by Walker or Guardivol. It is just Groundhog Day. With a few exceptions the problems have not come through a lack of effort by players. Just incompetence and exhaustion.

There’s a portion where we’ve held a high line except for 1 player & some horrendous keeper errors.

The bad luck has come from the amount of games we’ve had 20+ shots & not scored.

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.

My take on it, if we are found not guilty, we first take masters down with a very big lump of money after they pay our lawyers, then go after the red cartel and spurs, they want compensation off us if we are guilty then we will have compensation off them for dragging us down over these chargers

Excellent reasoning.
Nothing like a good bit of ‘reasoning’.
Many thanks for coming on here, much appreciated given your busy agenda.
Anyway Richard Hall many thanks for touching base.

Ok big man. Mine was a question. When would it have been acceptable to have a dip? In ur opinion

Any time after the treble really, felt after Chelsea in the final and Real Madrid with the 2 late goals, the players really needed the CL.

We where the best team in Europe for those 3 years, arguably 4 with last year but I did feel we dropped from the season before.

I think 2 CL’s would have been more reflective of how good we where during those years.

However, TBH retaining PL is a massive achievement so even a drop off then would be acceptable.

Pep makes the extraordinary seem a bit more ordinary and won’t be truly appreciated by non-City fans until he’s gone.

This is the things I like here.
And they destroy probably that coach to, these red cartel violence animals. Come on, we go, City, you are here now the best, always, show the best with the players who wanna play and even those a little injured, you can do it, for the shirt and defeat these negativity thinking news, on Sunday

Great post, although I don't understand a single word of it...

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.

He's a wum, and should be thread banned.

Absolutely! Or, as I put it on here the other day, 'Abso-f**king-lutely!'

And as I also said, this 'Drop off in form/115' thing is the clearest example I've ever seen of the logic fallacy 'Post hoc, ergo propter hoc', as in 'there is NO relationship, causal or otherwise between the two'.

And just as you have, several other Blues here have dealt with the 'Injuries' thing, driving a coach and horses through the similar false logic applied there by the media and Red Cartel WUMs.

Any road up, c'mon Pep and The Lads, let's recommence ramming down their collective throat starting on Sunday..!

Well spotted...ffs a decent dose of logic is massively missing from most of the shyte on social media

In the eyes of other fans assuming they can think for themselves we won't be cheats,
Everybody else I agree, they are irrelevant and hurting, rejoice in their pain.

Do you mean the same Richard Hall that played for sCUNThorpe?

Of course.
Coincidentally, though of course there’s no such thing in the world of the conspirators, I was with an Owdum fan this evening who was playing City bingo.
It all got a bit handbags when I suggested that he was in the same camp as Richard Hall ( worryingly he knew who the shitstain is)
He backed down and so did I - we’ve been friends too long.
Upshot was : Conspiracy theories only apply when your mates can’t prove you wrong, which is every time!

Anyway I am now hearing all about Cliff Richard…
