Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

sincher said:
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?

If one of the outcomes is that City have to report players wages correctly (IE their official salary and whatever is being paid under the table) whilst also being barred from overreporting sponsorship deals (or scrapping altogether the ones that are deemed irregular) then they would be extremely unlikely to meet FFP rules and would end up being barred from European competition until they brought those areas back into accordance with the rules.

Those two things wont even be part of the punishment if found guilty, just the minimum expectation going forward and will already see them lose key players that wont want to miss out on CL football
 
Then irony is it was only last year where all the pundits were lauding how well run City and Liverpool were as football clubs and that Utd need to learn from them to get back to the top in their recruitment and running of the club. Yeah, cheating is a pretty easy way to get to the top.

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.

I'd want them to be stripped of their titles too. Don't even care if the runners up dont get these titles. I'll take it if the yearly list of premier League winners has an asterisk for these seasons saying "no winner since the cheats finished first this season". Strip every title and send them out of the football league.

Apparently there’s an equivalency to be made between their cheating and our club being taken over by grifters and destroyed from within.

Blows my mind them comments from them, they must be operating at a 2 billion pound loss since they got bought over. Could be more with parallel accounting they been running.

The must think that money grew on a tree and they are self sustainable and self made.


That's not even getting into why we have debt, which is opposite to the jackpot they hit with owners and not magic money trees and cooked books :lol:

the thing we should do now is ask the other 10 Premier League clubs to back us, let's clean this Premier League up once and for all, out vote the other 9 clubs being used by united against us, call for a change and get rid of the old board members that will feck you over at every chance they get,

Great movie plot. I vote for Hrithik
Roshan to play the Sheikh :drool:
 
They won’t be stripped of their titles but having an asterisk (*) beside each of their title wins with a disclaimer that it was achieved during clear and obvious financial breaches is enough for me. This is what we all think anyways and it would be fitting to have the league’s stamp of authority to make it official. Oh and relegation, relegate the cheating bastards.
 
Im not really interested in us being awarded retrospective titles If City are found guilty of these offences, if they are guilty then they I believe the only suitable punishment is expulsion from the Premier League.

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

I think the 48 City fans may not get past stage four of grief...

From the bright lights of the Santiago Bernabéu to a dimly lit corner of the Eco-Power Stadium (Doncaster for those that didn't know). :lol:

48!? More like 4 to 8.
 
Whether those titles are officially voided or not is a lesser issue for me - they are tarnished anyway in the eyes of all football fans apart from the 30,000 core support around South Manchester and Stockport. The key point is to impose a strong enough punishment to stop future cheating, whether by City or another club. As fining them is pointless, the only appropriate measure (like Saracens in rugby) is relegation.
 
Just come accross this while looking through the comments on BlueMoon

My memory seems to be equally foggy around the penalties imposed on Manchester United for allowing their fans to enter their stadium and cause a game to be called off.

The club itself never actually committed any offence that day so what exactly are the penalties they think should have been imposed on us?

The funny thing is they are 100's of millions of pounds in debt as their owners took out a loan of €600m which they claim was to fund future projects including a big new stadium in New York.

It used to when they made it from paper.

I want their titles stripped because it's the right thing to do for circumventing the rules and fecking over so many big and small clubs that would've had titles, reached Europe, not relegated without their dirty influence.

Any schadenfreude and/or willingness to see Bluemoon suffer and have their moments taken away is nothing more than a bonus and I really don't care for it as much as my willingness to see justice done. Now whether that actually happens or City gets away with another wrist slap is a different can of worms.

Obviously i'm not saying I don't want it to happen, but I want their reputation soiled more importantly.

They're still treated and talked about like they won everything fair and square, not the cheating bastards they really are.
 
At the very least, if anything, I'm just loving the cloud hanging over City at the moment. It's glorious. I'm just picturing the thoughts going through Haaland's and Guardiola's heads as they're planning their exit strategies. Nobody wanting to touch City with a bargepole until things are resolved one way or the other. All the giddy fans having to crawl back under their rocks.

Albeit for slightly different reasons, Rangers and Juventus were still not too big for their respective leagues so City should not be any different. Only relegation and/or CL/transfer bans will suffice.
 
The y are certainly delusional, coming with a theory in which “the hateful eight” leaded by an alliance of United, Liverpool and Arsenal, have conspired against them due to jealously. Also they believe that Khaldoon guy (whoever he is) is an untouchable messiah that will save them with his amazing super powers.

Oh, and don’t forget their fan fictions of them puttin their “rag mates” in check.

Caption this.

Bald fattie to the right: Hey Ritchie! You dickhead. We've finally been caught.

Ritchie nearly dies...

Guy with mullet in the front: Fecking hell this fart would evacuate an entire museum, thank god these pricks already smell worse..

What an absolute fecking dirge that is as well. At least yawn makes some sense as far as trying to encourage a team or whatever. That thing is just whinging about not getting any set to sad music, isn't it?

The one and only reason they must sing it is because it has the word "blue" in it. Always baffled me.

Me to just boot them out and EFL says feck off as well, no league for them to play in . Arabs feck off as well.

All those fan fics that start with, "the rag in my office" even though the same City posters insist all United supporters live in Surrey. Heck of a commute there.
 
Why do City fans keep rewriting history? CAS didn't say they were innocent. They simply had their CL ban reduced to a hefty £10m fine.

Do innocent clubs pay £10m fines often?
 
Surprised none of you have quoted the poster that made a fool of himself in a bakery because the rag behind the counter commented on his son's City hat. One of the dumbest thing I have ever seen someone brag about and it was today

“We are at our best, when siege mentality kicks in.

If Pep and the players needed any incentive to get it together now and go on and win a treble, this is it.

Oh how we might laugh at the quivering lips if we pull that off!”

This one had me spit out my tea :lol: :lol: :lol:

If they get relegated we should crowdfund a banner in Manchester with Mansour on it like the Tevez one but saying “Welcome to League 2”
