That we'll be found guilty but not based on facts.

never let the facts get in the way of a good story ?????

found guilty of what ?? running a football club without debt or loans taken of assets ?? the investment of not just a football club but the whole of the city of manchester and the people with jobs,schools,building,living,leisure,and local charities, just about everything possible to prove they are not fake ?? but uefa members some how see it different or is it just the other so called big clubs of europe that don't want competition and dare you take them on ???

this has been 10 years of planing and so much hard work on both fronts ?? and they are still being questioned about their loyalty to a football club ?? WHAT more can the owners do for uefa and FFP to prove its not just a fake ownership NOTHING ?? and why ?? its because the real truth is 5 so called big club of europe (and we now who they are), they live in fear of manchester city and nothing else ?? why else change the rules and bring in FFP rules on clubs having rich owners, because they fear manchester city becoming the empire club that can win champions league titles years after years

Who are they? Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munchen and .....?
 
I think the real drivers of the agenda right now are the American owners in England. There are Yanks at Arsenal, Bournemouth, Palace, Liverpool and United. IMO they want the American sports model to prevail in England because they'll be able to take out big profits that way: From Forbes magazine in 2018, Factor in a salary cap that restricts player costs to 50% of league revenue and NFL owners are minting money with average profits of $101 million per team in the sense of earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation (depreciation that, except in the case of Kroenke and the Glazers, where it is deprecation) and amortization. They've got some of their ducks lined up but Sheik Mansoor is a bit of a problem because he doesn't seem to care about making big money out of City yet. That means the Americans have to spend to keep up. They're pissed off about it and will go to any lengths to hobble City and Sheikh Mansoor. IMO that includes 'reaching out', as they say, to big players in the media, who are, more than likely, good friends. It's rotation fouling through the media with UEFA playing Mike Riley. City might cop for a red card for aggressive walking but it could get overturned on appeal.

Liverpool must be massively profitable now.

They were last year but they spent a lot that hasn't gone through the books yet. We'll have to see how much they report this year. But if they're still profitable after spending so much, they must be doing something right.
