Salty reactions from other fans and the media

Gough on talkshit telling us that because we got fined then we must be guilty.
Simple eh Darren?

Ah...that intellectual giant Prof Gough!!

Lots of people complaining that ''City hired the best lawyers' isn't that what any club would do?

Why didn’t Eufa hire the best lawyers in the world then probably because not one sane one would touch it with the proverbial barge pole.

They would do well to remember their own 'istree.

Not like them to use someone else's case to blow their own trumpet!

Herbert by Name...
Biased, bitter and belligerent.
A shameless scribbler unbefitting of the title of journalist whose unedifying pursuit of self justification has made anything Ian Herbert writes again, worthless.
His `The Mail` piece today, is factually incorrect, lacks credibility and confirms in one article the shocking state of those who earn a living in today`s low quality media.
Martin Samuel step forward. We await your consistently high work.
Meanwhile Herbert will return from under the stone, back to the grubs he seems so fond of.

Just read that piece in the Mail, I should have kept away. Just pure clickbait for their audience which is mainly rags and dippers. Absolutely disgraceful, I pray City tell him to FO if he tries to come to a game. To their credit the readers who have commented on it have virtually all slated him. I'm sure he never even read the CAS press release, who knows why, it takes about 2 minutes to read.

As an Everton fan I can say im quite happy you won.

Yes it means you can spend £200 mill again and pull further away from us but to me thats always happened in football. From the first million pound player, to Jack Walker at Blackburn breaking the british transfer record twice. Chelsea inflated the market, then you did and also Liverpool with Andy Carroll to a certain extent

There will always be a small number of richer clubs in football, but the issue is with the likes of Real, Bayern, Utd etc is that before it was a few clubs, now Chelsea, City and PSG have joined and that equals more competition for players and trophies - challenging the domination.

I believe there has to be some financial rules in place to help the sport be competitive but these current rules are a shambles and not the way to go about it.

It appears to be fans of Liverpool and Utd who are most vocal in their upset - think it stems from them hoping that you were going to be docked points next season

I think you are spot on

My issue with the whole of FFP is that it takes no account of debt- its supposed to be about clubs as businesses being run well - we have no debt and are profitable whereas the interest loans on someone like Utd's debt is astronomical and they slip further and further into debt depsite being the most profitable club in the world (or at least one of the two).

I think you are right - there should be some sort of spending cap - but then again is that even legal? Free trade etc. and how do you judge who is allowed to spend what and then how do you take into account disasterous injuries to squads etc.

I've just watched the early evening news on both BBC and ITV, and likewise, the regional equivalents.

Fuck. The bitterness OOZING was a joy to behold, particularly the ITV news one.

Delicious

They didnt need to they could have just hired 1 of the millions of people on Twitter still claiming us as guilty.

Good of us to provide Liverpool fans with the feeling of their league win being overshadowed by another club.

Oh the Fifth Column has disappeared. He was my favourite Bert.
