Price of the brick's gone up.
You can feel it in the way they play too, i've tried watching their games once in a while, and even if they play some nice stuff, score a bunch of goals, it still just leaves me empty for some reason.
This was obvious, they were on low contracts and heading over to the Middle East once a year and coming back with million dollar watches on their wrists, the whole team. They've been paying these dickheads under the table for years.
Not sure which is funnier, blaming UEFA or blaming City's admin guys now. It was obvious to everyone that City deals were fake.
If they do nothing the integrity of the PL will be fecked for ever.
Ok, so no appeals to CAS and no time limits, since the offense.
City will get away with this, they always do.
Exactly!
"The Club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position.
As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all."
No. Your lawyers used trchnicalities to keep it going for so long until it became too late. The CAS saved you by overturning the ban but it didn't‘t say you weren‘t guilty.
I am amazed the Inland Revenue have not got involved because I am sure the players wages will not be entirely what they are on the books.
"even if we are innocent..." seems to be the common theme on bluemoon. Id say you are a long way off innocence in this scenario
100 CHARGES! 
I know we joke but there is no way they’re getting away with this

It was so obvious that they were paying people under the table.
Uncompetitive dirtying?
Yeah, but in fairness, you've probably included players and staff in that. So 5 people really.
Their ticket out is bribing the independent commission. Easy.
100 CHARGES!

First club to get 100 points, and first club to get 100 charges. Pedigree.
Aye, just to name one example how they managed to keep Augero for the entire prime of his career.
A superstar scoring the goals he did would normally always attract loads of attention and speculation about Real Madrid and Barcelona wanting him, that was the era when it happened all the time. Ronaldo, Henry, Mo Salah gets it now. And yet there was never anything and by the time he did leave he was finished.
He was clearly getting paid an obscene wage off the record.
Arsenal fans must be really hoping this goes through as well.
Premier League will want a huge sum of money to overlook this. City "surprised", we've heard that one before.
I don't expect anything substantial in terms of punishment, just send us a load of money from the PL and keep your titles and self sponsorship. If the PL had any honesty it wouldn't have got this far to begin with. The PL outcome has been under an *asterisk for a decade now but as long as the oil money comes in and not to another league, it's all fine as long as they're paid as well

In the name of Robert of the House Baratheon, the first of his name, King of the Andals and the first men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and protector of the realm, I charge you to bring the King's Justice to the false manager Pep Guardiola and all those who shared in his crimes. I denounce him and attaint him. I strip him of all ranks and titles, of all lands and holdings, and sentence him to death relegation.
It's out of their hands, the verdict all depends on what this so called independent commission says. City's oil money has no doubt already made its way to the commissions panel members. PL will hold their hands up and say, "we tried our best, nothing more we can do".
Brendan Rogers - Premier League-winning manager.
I think we need to remember the British Government is doing reviews into all the clubs soon so basically the Premier League has to get their shit together. Chelsea will fall too. I'm hoping we have been squeaky clean.
Say for example they get relegated (highly unlikley) no player has a relegation clause in their contracts - what happens then?
Next up should be the investigation into how much their players/staff are being paid off the books.
Wow! Finally caught out. We want our titles back.
Independent regulator announcement delayed
The club statement from Man City reeks of authoritarianism.
Always showed great character.
They stay
Whether they get charged or not the stain is on their club and the fraud pep, I wish pundits for bt and sky sports would constantly remind everyone when city are playing and winning games, how it was achieved purely by financial doping.
City 
. No one in the right world cares about then anyway. Now, add this as well.
This is exactly what everyone has been saying. A nobody club trying to stay relevant by doing illegal things and got caught.

How long before someone claims this is all islamophobia and what about the Empire?
I'm hearing the independent regulator goes by the name of Shake Manson.
If it were that easy it wouldnt have gotten this far
Mourinho's statement if we get awarded the 17/18 title is going to be fecking incredible
