The other one that gets me is the rant about the lack of protest from City fans about being taken over by ADUG. Nobody knew it was happening until it was signed on the dotted line and Robinho was holding up the shirt.

Why has that prick from La Liga suddenly piped up about City's spending being abhorrent, this after our lowest spending window since the takeover. Did the treble tip him over the edge or something?

Because he has an audience.
He said it himself. He has been asking for PSG and City ban for years. Now, with Football Leaks and UEFA investigation on both clubs, he has the perfect platform to expose his ideas.

'Protest'? When I heard I was bouncing around the fucking room (as would the fan of any other club in the same situation). And I still am.

I have now read through 550+ pages of shite......all I want to know is , if they have concluded their investigation then when do they release the results?

NOT. Our sanction....just the results?
Surely the findings should be released now? They don't change?

Nope, they were too busy laughing and mocking City whilst informing all their readers ‘how money can’t buy success’.

Not to forget their collective joy and laughing at a certain corrupt Scottish piss head telling them ‘not in my life time’.

How’s that going for you media...

The game is a dirty business...

It took a big leap that way when a number of the usual suspects got together in the name of maximising TV revenues to the cost of the old 2nd, 3rd and 4th Divisions who were left to sink or swim from their slice of this income as the 1st Division broke away from the Football League and formed the Premier League. The argument was that the game's attraction was caused by the major clubs being on TV most of the time and that these clubs who featured more than the rest demanded the greater share of TV money. Coming as it did with a self-negotiated broadcasting deal with Sky TV, it meant that the usual suspects scooping it in and at the same time leaving clubs like Crewe, Bury, Rochdale and the rest to live on the scraps. Since those days there has been one club after another going bust or at least struggling to pay their staff's wages, but where were UEFA waiting to step in with a concerted desire to protect these clubs from power of the Frankenstein clubs with their snouts in everything? Nowhere.

Fast forward to the present day and we now have the upper echelon clubs weeping their crocodile tears over our own club with it's wealthy backing which now forces these Frankenstein's into spending some of their accumulated riches on player recruitment rather than ending up in their own owners bank accounts. Those clubs who shout "unfair" the loudest are, ironically, those who benefitted most from our oil money. Arsenal shouted the most but gained the most at a time when the Emirates stadium was still being paid for. Liverpool too, the howls of indignation we heard from them over sterling but the accompanied silence when they sold Coutinho for tens of millions more was deafening.

Meanwhile, as the upper teams rake it in when they don't really have to spend it [they aren't going to win titles with us around], they exist comfortably and they know that if they have a gem on the books, there is always us around to pay top whack for him. So unfair is it not?

At this time we have nearby Bolton on the brink of extinction [no sign of UEFA] and yet our own club has no debt and is profitable, and yet it is our own ownership which is under investigation.

It's a dirty business alright.
