Just out of interest but what made you think CNN are AD based in the first place?

Here's some info with a picture to help those with the brainpower of a lobotomised amoeba

Fuck Pep off and sell all our stars then drag Sven and Stephen Ireland out of bed and pretend we were never really here.

City and UEFA are playing poker.
One of them is holding a pair of two's and we don't know what the other has.
We also don't know which one of them is the one with the pair of two's - could even be both of them.

UEFA have just gone 'all in'

Yes, this is it for them, all or nothing. Their interpretation of this "evidence" has been the basis of this outcome, obviously cajoled by the usual suspects. Someone is going to look pretty stupid at the end of this.

You are right, but Pep was assured by Khaldoon that we had done nothing wrong. If we lose the appeal: Pep walks, senior execs sacked.

What senior execs are getting sacked?

As we claim it's bollocks, even if we lose the apeal, at the executive leve they seem united that this is a stitch up no matter, cannot see who is going to go at that level.

Good post

Regarding The Athletic, just look at who are their owners. I wouldn’t give them the skin off my piss.

I don't read the Athletic but I do think though that UEFA have probably changed their position during the process and that they reported in good faith. The delays in the UEFA hearings and outcome do suggest an internal wrangle.

Says the Manc in London

Well, I know a number of people on here who can vouch for me.

You are clearly not a Blue. I am guessing you are scouse. Can someone ban this bell? @Moderating Team

 

[Asa's left peg]

Yep. York away will be fun. How will they fit in our 40,000?

Brilliant !! I get to go to York away ! Ermm... I mean again.

Fucking ingrates. Whilst we're considering FFP in all.its guises, let's have a look at who would have won the Premier League in the last 20 years if City hadn't come along to disrupt the cartel.

2000/1- united
2001/2 - Arsenal
2002/3 - united
2003/4 - Arsenal
2004/5 - Chelsea
2005/6 - Chelsea
2006/7 - united
2007/8 - united
2008/9 - united
2009/10 - Chelsea
2010/11 - united
2011/12 - united
2012/13 - united
2013/14 - liverpool
2014/15 - Chelsea
2015/16 - Leicester (God bless 'em)
2016/17 - Chelsea
2017/18 - united
2018/19 - liverpool
2019/20 - liverpool

Most competitive league in the world ? Essentially, without us 20 years of the same 4 Champions League clubs divvying up the title every year except one. And without sustained investment Leicester were fucked.

The Premier League should be down on bended knee thanking us for saving their shit show of a rigged "competition".

If it wasn't for our investment and the Aguerrrrooooo moment in 2012, there's not a chance Liverpool would be playing like they are now under Klopp. We've elevated the style and quality of football under Pep in the Prem and fans from all clubs, least of all Liverpool, should be thanking us for it. I reckon Chelsea and United would have won a couple more as I can't see Liverpool being where they are now without us changing the way football is played in the Prem.

I think we've lost tbh. The cartel have won. No matter the appeals, even winning an appeal, we've lost. The destruction is total.

Unless we blow FFP out of the water.

The politics is disgusting though, enough to put you off.

The worry is we are going up against an institute which has been around for years .we will not be seen to win even though we are right . We will probably take a year ban which in the scheme of things is not too bad . Pep will see his contract out but not sign another which maybe is a good thing for us . I’m more bothered about what the owners think of it .

 

[Plain Speaking]

Agreed, especially the Liverpool Echo and john aldridge.

I suspect most City fans wouldn't follow either? ;-)
