There are those who like to hope so.

Not a chance.
You really think that Soriano has gone off on his own with this whole process?

I think you only have to look at the commercial growth off the pitch and the trophies on it to show that Soriano and Txiki know what they are doing.

Remember when the PL refused to sanction Liverpool for going into administration a few years ago?

They'll do the same with the scum should it occur. Guaranteed.

Yep if the scum ever get in that much shit it’s looking like admin then the next owner will get them for next to nowt and the Glazers will have to take it like Liverpool previous owner had to.

A two year ban will be catastrophic for the club. Both practically and in terms of the damage it will do to the club's reputation and the owners.

Hard to see how there wouldn't be a serious knock on effect and also an obvious fall guy. Generally that's the guy at the top. Khaldoon isn't sacking himself or Simon Pearce as they're effectively fireproof because of their positions inside AD and their closeness to the Sheikh.

Maybe I'm wrong and in Soriano's commercial skills mean that this won't effect him either, but I'm not convinced.

Most of the rest of the league has been praying for Pep's departure since before he arrived!

I feel that Soriano is insulated because there's been so much investment into CFG which is his brainchild. He oversees 9 clubs with more in the pipeline.

Txiki on the other hand...if Pep is leaving next season, he loses his armour anyway.

They are all fire proof. Pearce's leaked emails were the worst of the lot, and he had far emails hacked in a separate leaks regarding PR and influence of the UAE which caused far more trouble than any City/FFP. leaks

Every action we have taken with regards to FFP has been agreed above Soriano.Everybody is complicit. He is also the architect of the Global CFG project and there is no chance his position will be under threat.

The idea that City will sack him and go into the market for a new CEO if we get banned is just not gonna happen.
