some perspective...In what way, fella? Why is it important? I am genuinely interested why you think it's so important (and other people, for that matter).
I can understand if people were getting laid off, because we were relegated. That has a real impact on a normal person's life.
But, as for having any impact on my life or the love of my club, this decision will make absolutely no difference.
Maybe it’s because other clubs sell themselves hotelsThe whole thing is a sham from start to finish IF we are found to have commited systemic fraud over a decade of competition and that our accounts which have been audited by one of the top auditing companies in the world AND accepted by the pl as being fair and honest for over a decade then it has to be assumed that the PL has been accepting any old rubbish by ALL clubs and consequently ALL clubs must be under the same suspicion and investigated accordingly, this is the flip side of the coin that is never mentioned, the whole narrative is that city must have cheated its never mentioned that if that is the case then the way the pl is governed must be called into question as it quite simply didnt spot it until some clubs were threatened? Yeah right. Also whats more likely that the brown owners who have invested massively both locally and globally have cheated, or the yank dipper owners who have got form for cheating in their other sports business enterprises, not to mention the hacking scandal or the yank rag owners who are 600 plus million of debt but we think city have cheated and the pl have spotted it after 15 years but nt spotted anything theyve done, give me break.
Was we caught with 12 players on the pitch or bribing the ref? That is cheating not some bean counting accusations.Makes a big difference to me. A lifetime of rags rubbing it in that we’ve won nothing, and then when we do win we just cheated our way to it. It would never stop me from loving City, but it would definitely have a big impact on how I view the football club under the current ownership.
Why does it not bother you? Genuinely interested!
If it’s 1:15pm we could be on a winnerDoes anybody know what time the Prem shareholders meeting is tomorrow?
Which they were entitled to do so, the pl left a loophole which chelsea utilised, what the pl are saying is that we fiddled the books because mancini had 2 contracts like that isnt entirely acceptable, if we wanted to hide mancinis true wage there is a million diff ways it could have been legally and easily hidden but we didntMaybe it’s because other clubs sell themselves hotels
My feelings if they'd uncovered something as serious as this it would be all over by now they wouldn't wait for ruling high authorities would've been informed and proceedings undertakenYes. Absolutely.
1 billion percentage yes.
If found guilty, the entire board will be disqualified as directors. They would correct assume that our trophies were illiegitmate because we cheated. Everything we've built for almost 20 years would be erased, and the Abu Dhabi based board would be complicit.
Again, I've said this before. I think we'll be found not guilty. but a guilty verdict isn't some nonsense and in business terms is the most serious accusation possible. There's no coming back from this. It's a criminal matter.
i can't imagine what some of our fans nowadays would be like if they had to traipse down to brighton in a ford fiesta (before the m25 was built) only to lose again, just like last year, by 4 goals.Same. I'm a lifer. I'm here in "Division Two" and the Champions League. I'm not interested, I just want to go to matches. If they relegate us to non-league or some shit then I can't wait to pay £10 a ticket. My support is not predicated on the corporate revenue of Manchester City.
Perhaps you are extremely thick skinned and if you really can feel like that, good for you.In what way, fella? Why is it important? I am genuinely interested why you think it's so important (and other people, for that matter).

One of my best aways this year was Arsenal away, music blasting out on the coach, Strongbow flowing, arguing with City fans walking out on 75 mins at 3 1 down, coach bouncing on the way home, a great day with friends, fuck the result, same again Sunday.i can't imagine what some of our fans nowadays would be like if they had to traipse down to brighton in a ford fiesta (before the m25 was built) only to lose again, just like last year, by 4 goals.
being a city supporter has nothing to do with winning things.
Me to m8, I've invested 42years now a season ticket holder and to be honest I don't want to even think of the worst case scenarioPerhaps you are extremely thick skinned and if you really can feel like that, good for you.
The consequences of losing this (on the serious charges) would be monumental. My love of the club is a part if who I am as a person, and I would be absolutely shell shocked and gutted to the core. Of course life goes on and I'd support whatever identity of City that is left, but, my God, mentally I'd suffer.
Is this a Tolmie type post? What can it possibly mean?
IF that was the case then why havent HMRC and the police been involved at any stage of this whole process?Yes. Absolutely.

Over the last 5 weeks, I have known 2 lads lads from Newton Heath hang themselves. One in their 40's and another in his 30's. I have done a lot of thinking over the last few days and it's made me realise what's important to me.Makes a big difference to me. A lifetime of rags rubbing it in that we’ve won nothing, and then when we do win we just cheated our way to it.

WhyEven though nothing has changed, has anyone else's confidence taken a nose dive?
