Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

[No Idea For Nickname]

@No Idea For Nickname

Was her day off yesterday. Expecting fireworks today

It was, horrible lazy biatch , and half of today, came home from work and saw the news and thought "this gonna be good".

Thank Lord @crossy1686 is full spead ahead, all guns (quotes) blazing. :clap: :clap:

Now few thing to do at home like have a lunch and read qoutes and will join the fun.

 

[romufc]

Reading that is quite clear City fans do not understand why they are being investigated. They talk about spending when the charges are not to do with overspending.

I mean even the most hardened City fan cannot tell you honestly that they are the biggest commercial club in the world. Over Real Madrid? Really?

If they have nothing to hide, why pay players / managers off book?

 

[Andre Kagawa]

Well the fecking toothless, barefoot, knuckle-dragging gutter rats from Old Toilet are out in force! :-/

Just had my resident Rag message me, crowing about us FINALLY being outed as crooks, but I soon popped his balloon by asking him "Do you know what the accusations are in relation to?"

He replies: You got caught cheating.

Me: At what?

Him: FFP

Me: What specifically?

Him: Stop feckin answering a question with a feckin question & finally admit you're a bunch of crooks!

Me: So you don't actually know what the accusations are then?

Him: You cheated at FFP!

Me: You really don't know do you?

Me: You seriously messaged me about something you know feck all about?

Me: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Have you disconnected your mobile?

Radio silence since... This is what I fear more than than the PL! :-/

 

[crossy1686]

Apparently Gerrard has a horse in the race?

Stevie G will be cumming in his pants this afternoon.

Out comes the defiance

Couldn’t give a rats arse what anyone else thinks. We’ll beat this, crack on as per and the silverware will continue to flow, as will the bitter tears of our rivals.

Stephen Warnock will be on sky sports news soon pretending to know the ins and outs of footballing finance just because he's put on a pair of glasses. The boring scouse c*nt.

the Premier League have been under so much pressure to clip City's wings from the heritage clubs that they have thrown the kitchen sink at City in order to look tough and in the hope something sticks.

You could just spend within your means?

This is like Al Capone accusing someone of being a gangster.
The system is totally corrupt.

bring on the super league where everyone can do what they want

Yeah this is great, if you're a bitter

God this is why I love this club, be it on the field or off it there is always drama. Must be boring supporting other clubs!

Just what do they think they have?

Expose everything now City EVERYTHING....

Expose what? You won't even publish your own books?

This and this again

Someone found a dictionary

The words 'irrefutable evidence' are very strong from City. It means impossible to deny or disprove. Impossible. City have gone as strong as it is possible to go as an opening statement. This'll take years.

"Go for them" Okay, what exactly does that mean?

Surely they can’t do this during a season ?

This affects everybody at the club from admin staff to players.

Club have to go for these now

It’s all bent. They’ve been dying to jump on us and finally they’ve pulled the trigger. feck the lot of them and feck the hateful 9 even more!

Simon Jordan has gone into full window licking mode, Talksport's football financial expert, what a grade A prick

If we win this, then we need to go after the PL leadership and force them to resign. feck with us if you wish but there will be consequences.

We won't be doing anything like that. We didn't 'go after' UEFA nor did we 'expose' them.

We'll fight the charges and that will be that.

My faith in the people running our club has NEVER waivered. Not once. Ever.
I’ve been pissed off plenty after some matches as football and its aftermath is an emotional game but my faith in our executives has never waivered. And it still hasn’t.
I am confident we will prevail here again.
Bit the key line in the statement HAS to be “once and for all”

The daily fail have about 9 articles about a us being relegated… want a shower of C*nts.

Yes, that is how investigations work...

Five year investigation makes you think surely if the evidence was damning the charges would have been brought forward years ago.

This screams of a “we can’t find anything concrete” so let’s accuse and refer to an independent body but also the damage to the club is done regardless

Breaking news sky have just released a statement Liverpool have up to 2030 to spend the coutinho money after that they will be given a written warning

I'm shocked the Premier League want to punish us.... Shocked

No, that's not how criminal proceedings are handled. "Your honor, my client cannot be tried for murder because the prosecution haven't looked into everyone else in the world to the same degree".

Problem is, if they have to prove they had investigated other clubs to the same degree, I would imagine anything they have on us would probably apply to a hell of a lot of other clubs too.

Small time

thats the PL anthem getting booed on Sunday

That'll show em

We will get our opportunity Sunday, let’s give the PL hell (Sky will be turning the sound down for definite protecting their ‘product’) but I for one will be booing that shit PL anthem at the top of my voice and would implore others to do the same, makes me laugh when you think about the main protagonists in the whole ESL debacle are driving this, the PL are nothing more than a puppet regime

Fooking amazing that they go after clubs that can fund big spending but they sit back while the likes of Bury and Macclesfield are torn to bits by bent owners ............ still are you lot shocked the bastards will do anything to get United and Liverpool to the top

I wonder if the dippers and the rags being put up for sale is because the PL are going to look at their finances

What a truly bizarre list of trumped up allegations. It’s clear the hyenas and jackals from the gang of eight or nine other clubs have working feverishly to orchestrate this attack.

Its incumbent on every one of us to back our club in this moment.

We fight against the odds and never give in. It’s in our DNA.

Come on City!

Bottle of Stella in hand mate, I'm fecking fuming, all the way to the High Court this if that nerdy ponce finds us guilty. The Premier League has shit on the team who has driven the quality of their product and increased its world wide audience. These are thunderbastards, make no mistake.

I would feck off and go support Chelsea again but they are probably next

Hope the club also monitors what the media and others say, and if cleared of charges and they have openly stated ie Keown we are cheats, we finally take the gloves off and sue each and every one of them for slander

I'm gonna head to the gym soon but I left off at page 150 on Bluemoon, feel free to pick up from there if you feel the need to delve into that swamp.

They’re posting quicker than I can copy paste, I'm always 100 pages behind at the moment.

 

[fezzerUTD]

bring on the super league where everyone can do what they want

Ironically the super league was brought about because the og clubs are sick of oil clubs spending what they liked and were going to be strict with how money was earned and spent.

 

[FrankDrebin]

They sound like a bunch of mad Trump supporters.
They'll be shouting for a wall built around the fecking Etihad next, which I'll be in favour of tbh.

Been a while since i had a look, but isn't there like 4-5 posts pr page over there?

About damn time. They aint got a get out of jail free card this time i reckon.

 

[glasgow 21]

The truth here is a bit like the Chinese Spy ballon. We know you (the club) are doing it and you know we (the governing bodies) are doing it, just don't get caught doing it.

 

[Member 58925]

I absolutely abhor the idea of Liverpool being stripped of their title because we are the two heads of the table in English football and IMO it would taint The Rivalry in English football, but them? They're sitting at the grown up table on a stack of cards and watching them tumble back down to the abyss from which they came is just going to be hilarious.

Liverpool?

 

[Memento28]

Wow...

I could not give a shit about any of the so called FFP rules brought in by the scum united to stop us

This is my club and even if we have to play FCUM next season in the lower leagues, we will have 50.000 others just like me turning up each week and watch Manchester city football club playing football,

they can all feck off with the shit league and so-called rules, it's bollocks and just shows that Glory means to united fans, they need to be champions every season, so they can spout shit about being the biggest club in the world,

for ten years, Manchester city have been playing under different rules to the rest, and we still beat the system and won titles, dodgy match officials every fecking week out to get us by any means possible, even letting other teams kick the shit out of players then book our players to fighting back,

COME ON MANCHESTER CITY, take the whole thing down if we are going to get punished, call them out once and for all, they are the biggest CHEATS and let us go through their books ? oh look page one CHEAT I can guarantee,

That is as delusional as it gets.

 

[crossy1686]

That is as delusional as it gets.

I’ve never known a collection of fans with such a small time mentality. They’re relishing being relegated because they feel like they ‘belong’ in that world where they have the biggest crowds and the loudest fans and the best team. They act like they’re always swimming against the tide when they’re up with the best of the best, like they don’t belong.

 

[Member 58925]

Liverpool?

There was semi serious talk of this because the season was interrupted by Covid.

 

[crossy1686]

There was semi serious talk of this because the season was interrupted by Covid.

Ah okay, I misunderstood your post

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

I have nothing against City, as I have said many times over. I hope this is ends up with City cleared of any wrongdoing. Just saying, reading the statement from the league it seems more serious than whatever nonsense had UEFA cooked up to take your to court a few years ago.

It looks pretty much the same excepting Mancini and the alleged player payments. I'm actually pissing myself laughing at it, as it will get the contempt that UEFAs attempt did.

---

Stephen Warnock will be on sky sports news soon pretending to know the ins and outs of footballing finance just because he's put on a pair of glasses. The boring scouse c*nt.

It's funny cause it's true.........

---

My gut feeling is there will be a big fine, particularly on non-compliance, but rival fans wanting titles stripped and us relegated to the conference are setting themselves up for disappointment. Or City really have spent the last decade being almost criminal with their books and sloppy in hiding it.

feck me this thread has more flappers and rags than a match day thread. Calm the feck down, we aren't being found guilty of any of this shit that will impact us on the pitch

Funny how the charges only go back to just after the 2008 takeover. I'm not having it that we were run in a more squeaky clean way when Doctor Death (Shinawatra) owned us!

Let’s all settle down. If we get found guilty then more than likely it will 15 points deducted and a big fine . No titles are being stripped and we are not being relegated .

I wish people would stop posting stupid inane comments, I don’t know if they are trying to lighten the mood or whatever, but it’s not funny, witty or helpful. This is serious shit and we need to treat it as such.

---

30 charges relate to non-compliance with the investigation.

25 relate to profit and sustainability.

5 relate to the non-compliance with UEFA, which we were already fined for.

12 relate to breach of details on how much was paid to players between 2010-2016

8 relate to breach the details of how much was paid to managers between 2009-2013

50 relate to accuracy of financial reports to the PL.

Like I said, good luck proving all of that and if we found guilty of a few we will fight it in the higher courts.

This is the one that is at odds with Citys statement. If the PL have asked for something and we haven’t given it them (for whatever reason) we must know that a charge for non-compliance is coming our way. How the frig are we “surprised” if we haven’t complied 30 times?

---

City are pretty much saying 'bring it on, we've provided the evidence you asked for, an impartial judge will side with us'.

Short and to the point.

Impartial judge.
Along with honest politicians and policemen will be hard to find ;-)

Never trust the three P's, Press, Politicians and Police.

...

feck off ( Insert whatever fits) rag/dipper/arsenal scum.

Do you think top players are going to join in the summer after this? Or if even a single one of the allegations is true Pep will stay? You're a plastic - just pretending its all sound because you went FA cup last week is not going to solve the problem. We are being accused of accounting fraud.

---

This seems very serious.

And yet Chelsea sit there serenely watching the world go by…
How odd

. ---

Funny that the announcement comes on the day the " Government no longer unveiling plans for a football regulator this week - announcement delayed."
Th PL want to show there is no need for one, trying to avoid having to answer to an independent body?

Well, that says to me the EFL won’t be regulated. Therefore, the corrupt 9 have said get the charges out to city.
Hence the comment on city statement about someone independent would be welcome to investigate.
That sounds like a worry but city will argue it has to be independent investigation given the 9 club’s wanting a kangaroo court

---

We’re 100% going to get done. They’ve been out to get us for years it’s gonna happen eventually.

---

Bloody hell, this has put me right off my lunchtime wank!

I'm really hoping that is a typo and you put an n instead of an l

---

I find it a bit surreal how two of the worlds biggest football organisations can be against one football club. We’ve already beaten one, let’s beat the other. It truly is City against the rest.

Can't wait to see our fixture list next year, going to one hell of a season replaying 10 years worth of fixtures.

Get the feck in there.

---

Ok, I know we are all angry and shocked, and my God we are really shocked, but what the feck happend to the thing called British humour.
No more from me on this topic, I just hope for the best possible outcome knowing the knives are truly out.

Probably for the best.
Also, you need to work on the humour.

---

Would be ironic if this sparks off a winning streak for the rest of the season

Be a miracle the way we are playing

---

Just heard about this
We're fecked..........

You got no electricity

Working. Some Rag just sent me some pics from the Mail.
It's been a good 15 years

---

If we have to replay games can we replay the derby where we were 2 up to win the league at the swamp but then lost 3-2?
Still angry about that.

Wasn't that at home, where Razza missed the header just before the half and we let them back into it 2nd half?

---

Does this mean utd are definitely back ?

There's a matchday forum vibe to this thread me thinks...
The truth will out, chill bitches.

Don't know what's more impressive, 100 points season or 100 charges season.
Quite proud of both to be honest.

Who decides what is a fair sponsorship deal ? Surely its between the two companies

---

Hey, the Dippers lost 3–0 to Wolves. Sorry to drag football onto this site.

Yeah my scouse supporting mates have been quiet all weekend - until this kicked off. Put them back in their box.

You have Scouse mates or is it just people you buy dodgy goods from?

---

Should just join Perez and his super league. This’ll never go away and it’s better to be out of it all.

---

I wish people would stop using this as an excuse to join the ESL. It was a shit idea at the time and is still a shit idea now!

---

They are really going out their way to make an example of us. Even if all the charges get dropped it will be a hit to the reputation of the club.

---

Find the people who insist on defending the board/ownership bizarre. They are not the club, the fans are, and they've embarrassed us. Regardless of the outcome the damage has already been done. Soriano has to walk and I'd be surprised if Khaldoon doesn't take a big step back in the future as well. We were there before them and we'll be there if they decide this isn't worth the effort anymore.

Hey raggy boy, get back to your raggy forum

---

I'm beginning to feel like Everton beating Arsenal was the highpoint of my footballing weekend

Dead on we are winning the champions leagues the week after being relegated to league two

---

Im not worrying now. Just rang me dad about it. He said ,”itll all be bollocks”
Ps he has no financial or legal knowledge

I want your dad to be my dad

---

I’d be very surprised if we had been playing by a different set of rules to the rest of the Prem….

Can't believe what we have been doing for the last 13 years is more criminal to football than what we served up under Stuart Pearce

citys legal team has been apointed this morning
Fukem Screwem & Cheatem

Can't stop us on the pitch, feck us in the courts SFA did the same to the Bears took them five years to get back. BASTARDS

wth?

Just realised it’s anniversary of Munich air disaster today. Very interesting day to release all of this.

They've not charged us with that have they?

 

[AlexUTD]

Had an hour break, they've written another 120 pages in that time...

And they're still worried:











Those that don't cheat are a 'cartel' apparently:



Surely it's good luck defending it?



Yeah, that's exactly what it says...

They're always the underdog





"Why he say feck me for?.gif"


EVERYONE'S against them





I've never known a clubs fans openly state that they will still continue to support or stop supporting the club based on decisions made by governing bodies.

Yes, we have dirt on the whole PL, they're were in bed with UEFA in a hotel down the road...



Does it really?

Erm, no?

Real call to arms wasn't it



Can't wait to see what they have on us

The lack of self awareness is mind boggling

 

[Slevs]

How serious are the charges?

 

[crossy1686]

How serious are the charges?

Very, very serious. Relegation serious

 

[AjaxNL]

Amazed to read there are so many city fans that think this is all a big conspiracy against them. You’d think everybody in his right mind, even city fans, could see that city is financially jacked to the tits and is breaking FFP left, right and center, but going from these quotes there are quite a few who think they’re the victim here. Amazing

 

[Slevs]

Who are these other 9 clubs they keep referring to?

I assume united pool chelsea arsenal, who else?

 

[Andre Kagawa]

They seem very confident in their club statement.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

They seem very confident in their club statement.

They're an overly arrogant club. The same arrogance that led to the selling of Jesus and Zinchenko to Arsenal this season, and that has backfired massively. Horrible club and they're going to get what's coming to them.

 

[Hughie77]

Wow, I'm still wondering were the money came from and went??. They club was so loaded before the Arabs went there and threw cash at it. And the fans are now being scapegoats for breaking the rules.
If any other club had broken the same rules I'm sure the Premier league would have brought them to book long ago?

Pep has said if there lying to him he won't be friends with them no longer and will leave? I wonder if he started packing last night .

they have to be. It’s not like they can say “oh let’s just wait and see what happens wink wink”

 

[Offsideagain]

You don’t need a law degree to see where this is going. City will drag this out and claim persecution, restriction of trade and the application of the rules to other clubs. They are as guilty as hell as proven twice by UEFA. Knowing the way that business is conducted in the Middle East, I wouldn’t be surprised if certain payments had also been made to certain people. Mancini admitted he had two salaries, the City one and some club in Abu Dhabi that he visited once. Bluemoon can say what they like, they are f*****.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Had a Liverpool fan in work say am I ashamed of what the club did cheating etc

I went why should I be ashamed I'm a football /City fan I don't care about this I just want to watch my club play football , you should be more ashamed of your club due to its history.

fecking hell it's like they've all come out from hiding now to jump on this

I’d be more ashamed about my club killing 39 Italians and then holding a parade on the anniversary of said event.

Sorry to be a pedant but it was 32 Italians, 4 Belgians, 2 French, and 1 from Northern Ireland

Your point still stands though!

even if we have made a few dodgy payments - it doesn't come anywhere near close to the on pitch / ref / VAR cheating of that scummy club

Ashamed? Shouldve asked him if he was ashamed when dippers hacked the city computers. Hacking is stealing , like thieves .

funny their downfall has begun happening since edwards left wasnt he the one who hacked us

fecking mole , not sure why he is not behind the bars.

Just say what has been proven? What was proven is that they hacked our database and have sponsors guilty of money laundering drug money.

---

Great no nonsense statement put out by City.

We’ll see you in court you jealous cnuts.

feck em all

---

The charge relates to a time when James Milner was in our squad, so he’s probably volunteered access to his bank account to show payments.

Yes, I’m joking before anyone kicks off.

He’s cnuty enough to

--

Ban all reporters from the ground. Time for holistic approach is over. Fight fire with fire.

A corrupt league controlled by united, Liverpool, Arsenal needs to be taken down.

This is the worst decision the league could have made. Expose it all.

Any banning of reporters now will look suspicious.

City will just keep calm and carry on.

No access should be given to our manager or players.

---

Panja, Adam Crafton, Kaveh Solhekol, Nick Harris, Delaney, Dominic King, Sky Sports, BT Sports, all doing a conga right now.

Out of all of these genuinely feel like Kaveh Solhekol is the worst, talks in riddles and circles about nothing with no backing or conviction in anything he says

---

We should be forced to sell Grealish as punishment.

Out of all of these genuinely feel like Kaveh Solhekol is the worst, talks in riddles and circles about nothing with no backing or conviction in anything he says.

But he only talks about transfers he's invented in his own imagination... has he ever commented on city's finances?

---

Jurgen Klopp: "This is a good day for football"

Reporter: "How do you work that one out Colgate? Your team's still shit"

If this is proven wrong then my word this club has to go on the attack. Far too long we’ve sat back and let people try to rip down everything we’ve done.

---

The PL didn't inform City before they announched the charges but informed the usual suspects (journalists).

Says it all.

But but but there is no agenda

---
this first from Arsenal fan crossy posted, and he then he got an answer

'fashionable brands' what are you talking about, your revenues are higher than Real Madrid and Man United, your as 'fashionable as they come. Your a mainstream club with global revenues higher than all other clubs

Although I think that's might be the problem. Your revenues are higher than Man Uniteds and Real Madrid..............why.

Before spouting shit go and checked City financial results and even SwissRamble. City have a net spend, for a simpleton like yourself, made a profit on transfers, and also earned a lot pf prize money, again for you won lots of trophies. Tv money is much larger in PL than its is in Spain hence bigger revenue than Real. City;s revenue is on a par and depending upon comparison of season will also be skewed with Corvid adn Real stadium refurbishment

---

someone above Pep needs to speak on this before Peps press conference IMO. It’s not on Pep to get the brunt of this first

Yep, he shouldn't be hung out to dry. Someone senior to him needs to step the feck up for a change

Pep must be livid.

This is the kind of thing that will follow him for the rest of his career even if he's an all-time great coach, which we all know he is...

---

The backdrop of chelsea makes this more amusing than it should be...also fuels the fire that their refs HAVE had it in for us for years.

ah crap, it is over before it even started

I have just spoken to a friend inside CFG.

They aren't worried, and neither should we be.

There are no surprises. Khaldoon will burn down the entire Premier League house if it comes to it.

everybody's happy

Messiah has spoken

And where the feck have u been all day?

This is what I want to hear

God I love that @tolmie's hairdoo let’s say they relegate us? Who gives a feck we will go every week and come back up a year later and do those dirty rags in! I’m ready to go to war! Siege mentality! LETS HAVE IT!!!!!!

We ‘ve seen this episode before and i’m 100% positive Khaldoon and his team are well ready up for this shit show.

That's what we want to hear. Need to have that post covid pint soon!

Boom! Scorched earth, if we’re going down then take every living thing with us

"Buy the League, and burn it down"

Wish I could like this post more than once.

Needed that.

I hope you get record likes on this one sir

I really want to see to happen, burning the entire league.

Whether KAM can do that I don't know but I feel that plenty of people still don't realise how much power and influence he has - although seemingly not enough with the English football authorities.

He should do anyway, once and for all take the ducking world on and burn there cartel to the ground, no wonder Pep mentioned the hateful 8 the other day, he knew something was coming.

Shady jealous bastards. I hope he does and exposes the whole corrupt organisation while there. If your going down, take it all with you.

That's grand mate, I've just sent that to our golf Whattsapp group, should shut the red feckers up.

I appreciate that you are a very knowledgeable poster mate, and with more sources than most, but do you really believe all this Khaldoon will get em stuff? I’ve been hearing that for years, that we will stuff uefa, stuff the PL, stuff Peter walton etc, not sure about that

 

[tomaldinho1]

They're an overly arrogant club. The same arrogance that led to the selling of Jesus and Zinchenko to Arsenal this season, and that has backfired massively. Horrible club and they're going to get what's coming to them.

Don't think that was arrogance at all, it seemed forced - called it in the B Silva thread months that it was weird transfer activity and something to do with the PL investigation. Zinchenko is one of the best LBs in the league and Jesus was essential to one of the systems they played and suddenly both are sold to a club now managed by their ex assistant manager and direct rival. They've been magically making money even through covid (all other clubs took huge hits whereas City actually somehow made more) even hitting No1 on the rich list and then, suddenly, for the first time in their history under the Sheikh they post a net profit for transfers?

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Has David Gill been announced on the independent review commission yet? This is a witch hunt of the highest order. This could be seen as racist, weird how only City get investigated. It's quite incredible that the scousers, rags and arsenal can create such a stink over us. This is a big 3 campaign against City, we have damaged their prospects and they don't like it. I hope we get a full apology from the PL in the coming weeks after our owners blow them out the water.

Apology? Heads need to be removed after this not some fecking apology.

---

Does this mean we go back to playing in ramshackle grounds and seeing new teams every month or so?

I was hoping we’d draw Wrexham last round of the FA Cup, maybe we’ll see them even sooner now

At least Chesterfield's grounds improved since we last went there

---

When something like this dropped no new members for the last month should allowed on here and locked to only sign in members!

Because we will get to many none city fans on here taking the piss!!

--

'Replay Matches'

Let us replay every match from the past 10 years, all the original players involved. I reckon David Silva would still run rings around them. We'll forfeit Spurs away though.

Would Rashford still be onside........?

---

I bet none of you boys in here are married to solicitors, they are, lucky bastards

Just discussing this with my missus(solicitor) she says it would go against The Laws of Natural Justice not to have an avenue of appeal. No idea what that means, I’m the thick one in the family!

I don't think it's saying there's no right of appeal, just specifying where/how a club would appeal. (I'm not a lawyer, as I said - just giving my interpretation of the language.)

please, please, please, City. go at these PL twats with the vicious enthusiasm of a rabid pit bull. and when you come out the other end victorious, please, for feck sake sue the league for reputational damage.

make them regret ever having danced to the tune of the red top wankstains who think the league belongs to them.

Last night I felt really crap after a poor showing at Spurs. Now I'm feeling better weirdly. I always felt more connected to my club when our backs were against the wall. Us against the football world. This shit has gone on too long. Bring on our opposition. I'm going to give us loud support on Sunday.

i posted this first ove before, but now, there is an answer..
which one of is that rag?

Do you think top players are going to join in the summer after this? Or if even a single one of the allegations is true Pep will stay? You're a plastic - just pretending its all sound because you went FA cup last week is not going to solve the problem. We are being accused of accounting fraud.

Sniff sniff.. I smell another rag.
Please disappear back to Redcafe.

..

brand you say?

Chelsea spend half a Billion in one transfer window.

And City get hung out to dry in front of World MSM.

Bastards all of them.

This kind of stuff should be treated like a Guy accused of a serious crime. News blackout, Treated innocent until proven guilty. The damage to brand is what they really want.

All these charges and the most important one that nobody is talking about is the length of the grass.

Liverpool crossing their fingers. John Stones holding his breath.

The smallest of these will stick- Pep will use it as his break out clause and walk as he's said before he would if there were any improprieties. I can see it happening.

A perfect storm for him, he walks away with his head held high & his reputation in tact. While we give Stockport County 15,000 tickets for the opening game of next season.

Why would we give Stockpot 15000 tickets ?
Or are you saying that city fans would turn their back on the club.
If your one of them then ‘goodbye’.

I'd have no problem with a salary cap, if it was in any way practical. It's a salary cap that's linked entirely to revenues that's the problem. If the rags can only spend as much on wages as Wolves, bring it on.

I think any salary cap should be set at level that the poorest club can afford - Liverpool

To be clear, he does have an Arsenal season ticket but he has no other connection to the club (assuming he is appointed to the disciplinary committee).

Arsenal season ticket holder reviewing the case for Arsenal’s biggest rival for the title. Brilliant.

You couldn’t make it up. It’s like a Celtic fan Presiding over demoting Rangers down three leagues for a tax case that years later was proven bogus. Like that would ever happen

theyve got to be careful with that though because english law doesnt take kind view to conflict of interests.

feckall will happen. Stop panicking on shite being spewed out by hack journos with an agenda like Miguel Delaney. The Premier League is a staggeringly incompetent organisation on every level.

When a £4bn asset is at potential risk, the last person in the room you want to be sat across from is Khaldoon.

Ruthless and always the smartest man in the room.

This is exactly why I can't understand why people are flapping. They're trying to break a multi-billion pound company over stuff they've supposedly known about for years. I can know f-all about this but it really isn't going to happen

Yep, On top of that the reputation of Khaldoun & Mansour getting dragged through the mud. Something they aren't going to forget is this.

Shit or bust that's why we are fighting, if it's proved we have lied and cheated the owner is well and truly fecked.

Enough is enough-bring the whole house down City-no more Mr Nice Guy

---

I wonder if the Premier League will hand Sky back the additional £2bn they paid off the back of Aguero's goal that summer!

---

If our club were as clever as people make out they would have been investigating the hateful eight over the years with a fine tooth comb. Then hit them with everything at a time like this. Nobody can tell me all the other clubs haven't broken ONE rule over the years.

Maybe they have been doing?
Hopefully anyway.

I think it's 'beyond reasonable doubt' in a criminal case, but the burden of proof isn't as high in a civil case. Not sure how it's worded but it's along the lines of reasonable standard I think.

It changed with the criminal justice bill about 17 years ago mate. Now it's based on the balance of probability.

1. Item A was in the empty room.

2. The accused entered.

3. The accused left.

4. Item A was later found to be missing.

5. Only the accused had entered the room in between item A being last seen & being noted as missing.

In the past they'd have needed eyewitnesses & the recovered item in the accused's possession with fingerprints etc, but now the accused can be convicted "On the balance of probability". )(

You don’t need a law degree to see where this is going. City will drag this out and claim persecution, restriction of trade and the application of the rules to other clubs. They are as guilty as hell as proven twice by UEFA. Knowing the way that business is conducted in the Middle East, I wouldn’t be surprised if certain payments had also been made to certain people. Mancini admitted he had two salaries, the City one and some club in Abu Dhabi that he visited once. Bluemoon can say what they like, they are f*****.

Can they drag it out? It’s not going to a court of law and I don’t think there’s an appeal process.
Do they even put forward a defence? It literally looks like this panel looks at the evidence supplied and judges accordingly. I’m also pretty sure when the league charges somebody it’s already guilty and it’s just sentencing after that.
Like when a team is charged with not controlling their players. You have a certain time to appeal but it’s called an appeal for a reasons. You don’t have the club and FA hashing it out for a verdict. Being charged seems to mean we have found you guilty

This is just headlines for headlines sake. News has come out, to create a bit of uproar.

City will pay off the lawyers, pay a 20m fine and in 2 years when everyone forgotten about it, nothing will happen.

I dont know why people think anything other than a fine will be the outcome.

These sort of posts have been the worse aspect of this whole story. Either head in sand or delusions ot grandeur on the topic.
