Classic Thread territory this.

Adug?

Nope

That's because you want to believe it.

City have known for months what they have been battling against.

Ask yourself who has benefited the most from this last 48 hours, who has been removed from positions of power?

We are owned by people who do political strategy for a day job, do you think they aren't prepared to take a bloody nose to achieve their objectives?

We signed up to the rules of FFP, even though we didn't agree with them.

We took a pinch and decided to pay the fine to play the long game.

We did back deals with Platini and Infantino.

Cerefin has been an ally of City for a good length of time.

If you don't believe City aren't capable of doing some very deep shit, then I can't persuade otherwise.

I so hope all of that is true, I really do.

Apologies - had to delete the original tweet as I’m a grammatical pedant! Re-posted:

Mate, you can’t be serious?

There was nothing on our socials. No quotes from anyone associated with our club.

The quotes from Glazer were deliberate to show you who was responsible.

We’ve infiltrated the cartel and brought it down.

The trojan horse.

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

The club have played an absolute blinder.

Great point about the Glazer quote.

Love it Tolm. Only asking this cos my head is spinning, but who has been removed from positions of power? I know there's a few but I can only think of Woodward.

so who won the first super league ? i know there was 6 clubs in the race

Liverpool... They've already had the banners made and are due to set fire to the Liver building at 9pm

Well played City, that was a cunning stunt

For some reason I feel an urge to watch the Adebayor slide and Arsenal reaction on endless repeat

If City had not joined, wouldn't this have happened anyway?

Unless we were garnering information and details and somehow sabotaging the whole crew.

If as Tolmie suggests the end product is that all City's opponents have been taken out then that would be highly suggestive but I would need evidence.

Who is to say that Woodward's replacement won't be on the UEFA board ? Or Agnelli's ? City have no way of influencing who will be on the new board of members. I don't buy this theory it for a moment.
