It's apparently the 9 clubs that complained to the league about City's spending, according to what Pep recently said in one of his pressers.Such a strange bunch. After 15 years of buying any player they wanted, multiple cups and titles and strolling the league under Pep they'll still claim their small club conspiracy bollox. It's insane, but at least they still have time for the bit of fan fiction.
Has anyone figured out who the hateful 8(9) is yet? I'm baffled by that one.
Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Arsenal, Burnley, Chelsea, Leicester, Liverpool, United, Newcastle, Tottenham and Wolves wrote to CAS to try and stop City appealing the transfer ban a couple of years ago.

Thanks... Hilarious they're still going on about it as if the likes of Burnley and Wolves are part of some cabal who've influence of the PL.
Who is Khaldoon then? Darth Vader?
Tbf, if this was the Dippers they would probably be blaming the Old Queen and Thacther.
Chelsea co-signing that is a bit rich considering recent developments!
It's not though is it?

Ha ha ha, what horseshit?? MCFC were nothing more than a marketing tool for a struggling airline. If anything, they have served their purpose and this corruption reveal actually gives ADUG a way out. It's easier for them to walk away than start picking fights with nations. Not that Sheikh Mansour can pick fights with anyone. He is not the boss. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is ruler of Abu Dhabi. Mansour is his half brother.
Tbh he's not wrong, city are sport washing for Abu Dhabi, not for Etihad airways and politics will inevitably play a part in the outcome and Abu Dhabi will apply pressure on Sunak.

Doh sorry, misread that as those being the 9 clubs that complained to the premier league about city’s spending (hence my comment) when they actually wrote to CAS about the transfer ban being dropped.
Gotten to the stage now where we’re taking it in shifts!All I ever wanted. All I ever needed is here, in this thread..
The city cnuts are crying, look at what they're typing,
They can all kiss me aaaarse....

They’ve already forgot when we functioned like a top football club, all their financial doping did was even the playing field. They didn’t leave us in the dust because they’re better, but because someone was sabotaging our club from within. Mystifying levels of delusion.
Different ownership. This was at a time when we weren’t even in the top 3 for spending each window. If my club was found to be acting like this though, I certainly wouldn’t be acting so arrogant and self righteous.
Send them all back to the first division where they belong!
"Don't bother wasting oxygen with people on Twitter" tolmie's hairdoo typed on Bluemoon. Ironic.

“Suppose we should have just got ourselves into 100s of million of pounds of debt instead. Because that's the correct way to run a football club apparently”
Apparently there’s an equivalency to be made between their cheating and our club being taken over by grifters and destroyed from within.

Hateful 8? Skeletons in LFC/Utd/Arsenal closets?
Are we looking for the Hunter Biden laptop?

Do they have a thread on Juve and their rule-breaking over the years? Would be interesting how "holier than thou" they are about that
Their Messiah.
The way they speak about him is hilarious. Like he has Biden, Sunak, Putin and Kim Jong-un all in his pocket.
Don't think their board gained popularity until a couple years later funnily enough.
So many gems in this thread in the past few days but my favorite so far is how they think Cancelo has something to do with it. An undercover agent who is now exposing City.
Of course he isn't responsible for the years long investigation, but if it's true that he is unhappy how he was treated I wouldn't be surprised if he now supports the PL investigation as a final f*** you to Guardiola. One of the more plausible theories in that thread for me
Sounds like they're standing alone finally.

Just googled this Khaldoon fella, I expected a 16 foot titan wielding two battle axes but it seems he's just a man.
Couldn't really care less if they get stripped of their titles etc - the main thing is the press start recognising them for what they are.
Too long the likes of Sky/BT in this country have fawned over City, praising their 'genius' and salivating over their football.

I think City blatantly and quite deliberately broke the FFP rules about outside investment (financial doping) for years, while trying to bring the club up to the level they needed to be at. They knew they were doing it, and they thought if caught they would end up paying fines - an essentially meaningless punishment for them. They have also stopped doing it now I think, mostly because they don't have to any more, at least for now.
But surely Chelsea's finances wouldn't stand up well to similar scrutiny... and then obviously not subject to Premier League rules but what about clubs like PSG?

Spot on with this, I've said for years I don't care when City win things like i do if Liverpool or Arsenal win because its irrelevant because everyone knows they cheated the system and that's the only reason they're winning things
I would absolutely fecking care wrt. City being stripped of their titles. They won them unfairly and fecked every other club out of the competition - we've effectively all been wasting our time following the game as they've been operating on a completely different playing field to everybody else. If they aren't stripped of them, they've gotten away with it.
If the Pl prove their case and City are found to have been cheating then they should be stripped of whatever they won during that timeframe, I'm not fussed on awarding them to us retrospectively, just void those years. It happens in every other sport, why should football be any different?
Well, that’s me convinced this cheating should be swept under the carpet.
Nah. Punish the fans too. They’re complicit. Make them turn up to the Etihad.
Don't get me wrong - I'd like/want it to happen, but they've had the joy, celebrations and recognition already. Removing a number from history won't ever change that.
The Aguero moment etc, the hurt we felt and the joy they got will not be changed.
That's why for me it doesn't really matter whether they get stripped or not. I'd prefer their name was muddied from now on. Even if they have 30 titles to their name, every 1 of them will be seen as cheating which is far more powerful IMO.
By that logic, a man should not go to prison for committing a crime because his wife and kids will be affected.
It will definitely change things because they won't have any titles. Removing their titles from history shows how significant their level of cheating was. They financially doped themselves and cheated their way to success and relevancy - Lance Armstrong did the same and had his titles taken away. The Aguero moment means nothing if they have nothing to show for it. It was built on cheating and it should be recognised as such, which means they don't get to keep the title.
Completely disagree on the bolded. Taking their titles away would tarnish their name in the most powerful and significant way. It's also just the right thing to do.
Exactly. Who stayed a fan after the takeover and cheered for slave owners can't claim he did nothing wrong. Every single City Fan who exists today is a morally bankrupt human being and deserves to feel punished.
I think I did see a case where that happened not that long ago.
Relegation out of the football league please and a transfer ban for 5 years, please. Time for the PL to take a stand.
Send them to Uganda!
Stripped titles, relegation to the lowest tier, a massive fine, transfer ban, and make them wear dog shite brown strips for the next 20 years.
That's just for having a fan forum as atrocious to the eye as Blue moon is.
