Salty reactions from other fans and the media

Didn't they get done for breaking FFP too, but they didn't qualify for Europe anyway so it didn't matter?

Sssshhh. Don't spoil the image of Perfect in Every Way that the media are trying to portray. We cant have that ruined with facts that don't suit.
 
Love the way the Pep selfie in front of sky news yesterday is being seized upon by the twitterati and some of the media as if it's photographic evidence of a war crime :-)

Regarding the media reaction, even though most don't deserve fairness/would never offer it to City fans in the reverse:

If we are being fair, isn't some of the reaction human nature? Nobody likes being on the wrong side of something, of course their eyes scanned the CAS verdict statement, for something, anything to cling on to. "Ah time-barred, that's it"

I have been asking myself, had this gone the other way, if I'd have been able to hold my hands up, just based on the initial brief statement. Not likely at all, I'd be asking for proof, details, immediately.

The real test is if the details in the coming days, do spell out that there was no technicality to it. That City did not do what they were accused of, for the central element of the case.

Will they then be big enough to say: You know what I can see they didn't do it, I had been convinced UEFA had something but they never did. No clinging on to a smaller irrelevant issue to save face.

I think if UEFA had hard evidence that the money did come from Sheikh Mansour/ADUG, eventually City fans would start looking at the club. Maybe move onto to FFP being a scam, rules that only the elite really wanted etc.

These journalist haven't lost much themselves in this, not the way City fans would have felt had it been upheld. So that should be a much easier task. Perhaps we should wait for the details to emerge and judge them on the reaction to that.

You know the answer mate, the full decision if released will be nowhere near the back page of papers in fact, it'll hardly get a mention...I'm willing to go out on a limb that on the day it breaks there'll be more anti Arab human rights words written about us than anything in the full transcript.

Yesterday on the whole was like a CL game commentary we were talked about as the foreign away team.

I watched 10 mins of the sky game last night it was all rag positive, we play and if they can't find anything negative to say about us will talk about the fucking weather before praising us for the most part.
 
The opinions of all these smalltime bitter hacks are just as irrelevant as those from the uneducated scousers and rags flooding social media with their illiterate and ill-informed bile.

The only important things are that we are exonerated and can hopefully now go on to dominate, never having to endure the sight of a scouser or rag lifting the title or CL again.

Until Ffp came in football was a free for all. Don't have any problem with that, teams have come and gone through the history of football.

Imagine back in 1888 when the Football League was being founded at the Royal Hotel in Manchester, if they’d said; “and we must implement a Financial Fair Play law”...

There would likely not have been 5 league titles in 7 years for Aston Villa, 3 FA Cup wins in a row for Blackburn Rovers, 3 league titles in 4 years for Sunderland...

When Newton Heath were about to go bust, there would likely never have been a Manchester United come out of that...

Arsenal would likely never have moved into North London, been fraudulently promoted despite finishing 5th in the Second Division, and there would likely never have been 5 league titles in the 1930s for them...

If there did happen to be a Manchester United after Newton Heath, they would have gone bust in the 1930s when they were getting crowds of 4,000 and had no money. Subsequently no club who had those historic spells in the 1950s, 60s, 90s and 00s...

Liverpool would likely have remained a Second Division club in the late 1950s and there would have been no historic spells of the 60s 70s and 80s for them...
