PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Genuinely, I'm in 115 south stand (ironically ) and I swear I really don't give two hoots. Just be ok as a City fan to go with the flow like we have for donkeys years. Chill and everything will be fine.

I'm with you mate. I'm not even remotely worried. I'm positive we will either be found completely innocent or at worst, will get a relatively minor slap on the wrist for some technical transgression. Nothing like relegation or any financial impact of any real note. Not even a pints deduction.

But what if I'm wrong and we get relegated? So what. We'll be back up again in no time, and playing in the Championship for a season could be quite good fun. Some players might leave, but some players need to leave. We'd be fine.

F**k me! I hate agreeing with you ;-)

It's getting more annoying by the day trying to defend our case.
All the haters seem to come out with is
It's 115 charges and there's no smoke without fire.
I'd probably think the same, but I'd like to think when discussing it, I could name at least one of the so called charges.

Yes it is starting to grate now.
As far as our detractors see it, there are only two outcomes here:
1. City are guilty - relegate them / strip the titles / transfer ban
2. City paid / bribed their way out of it, shocking decision that needs investigating. Money talks.

There is and has never been a No. 3 in their brains.
3. City were cleared of all charges presented.

Couldn't agree more - I remember queuing up for the Gillingham play off final tickets and being told by club stewards coming down the line that we might not get tickets even though we were season ticket holders because the ticket office had been letting the first in the queue have more tickets each than they were entitled to !! Luckily we got them before they ran out but some behind us missed out and yet despite everything we still support the blues through thick and thin.

A points deduction wouldn’t be great news but fuck me, a pints deduction would be utterly catastrophic. Imagine no days on the lash watching City.

Losing pints would worry me

Anyone else think we’ll be found guilty but win on appeal? That way the prem and red shirt fans get their initial wankfest thinking they’ve won. It’ll be all over the papers social media but we’ll win in the end. I hope to god it doesn’t pan out that way because it needs putting to bed now for all our sakes but I just think this will just drag on and on!

No way, the implications would be huge. Whatever is announced will be the final decision. Suppose they did find us guilty and we were relegated, players sbd agenrs demand moves, sponsors were to ditch us and other clubs try to sue. And then 18 months later we win on appeal. How the hell does this then get unravelled? How are damages then assessed.

Dispite what the PL say they will be desperate for this to be put to bed.

Any punishment would be suspended pending appeal for that very reason.

I lived in Burnage so went to a lot of games with Leve Blues around 95 - 2000. Even when I moved to London in September 97 I used to come back to Manchester and do away trips on the bus from Leve. There was really good crowd in there. I remember drinking in the Wheatsheaf after the Blackburn promotion game. I was that pissed walking home I could barely stand up, staggering taking 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. RIP Bill. How’s Steve doing?
