Kangaroo panel finds us guilty

[Sparklehorse]

It looks more and more like it's a premature leak.

Easily done

Indeed

Bernardo Silva on Manchester City being found guilty of financial breaches:

Bernardo Silva: “I think people are looking at this from only one side.

“People will laugh at Manchester City. They will make jokes about the trophies, the titles, the money, everything.

“But let’s remember something.

“We still had to go onto that pitch and win those matches.

“We still had to train every day.

“We still had to play under pressure.

“We still had to score the goals, defend, fight and finish the job.

“You can talk about the club, the board and the decisions that were made above us, but as players, our responsibility was football.

“We didn’t walk onto the pitch thinking about finances.

“We walked onto the pitch thinking about winning.

“If the club is eventually punished because people above us broke the rules, then that is something for the club and the authorities to deal with.

“But don’t rewrite what happened on the pitch.

“I remember those dressing rooms.

“I remember the celebrations.

“I remember the teammates.

“I remember the nights when we were exhausted but still found a way to win.

“Those memories belong to us.

“You can change what is written beside a trophy.

“You can remove a medal.

“You can change a line in a history book.

“But you cannot walk into my head and tell me that those moments didn’t happen.

“I lived them.

“My teammates lived them.

“Our supporters lived them.

“And nobody can take that away.

“So if the final punishment is relegation, then let it happen.

“If titles are taken away, then we deal with that too.

“I’m not going to spend my life arguing about trophies.

“I’m grateful for everything I achieved at Manchester City.

“I came here with dreams, and I was lucky enough to live many of them.

“And honestly, maybe the timing of my departure will make people look at me differently.

“But I left knowing I had given everything I had to the shirt.

Whatever happens to the trophies, nobody can relegate the memories I made here.”

AI bollocks. Only rodri has spoken. Ferna reposted khaldoon's statement, but that's all.

Apparently we will be playing York City again next season

Shit, I was there when we lost 2-1 last time!

[Blue Philistine]

Ah, shit. Can some dirty, conniving, snide little governing entity really invalidate the thousands of pounds and hundreds of hours I've spent following City during the spell they're condemning?

I think not. Up the Blues.

I cannot turn on one fucking corner of the internet without some arsehole in executioner mode.
One hundred and fourteen charges, one unexplained acquittal, and not a single fucking line of reasoning in public. They leak the result, gag the club, then hand the microphones to City hating TiTs who have never seen the evidence and allow them to torch a decade of football as if the case were closed.
That isn’t a verdict , Its 100-% is a smear with a number attached to it!!
Name the charge we were cleared of and publish the reasons or just fucking admit you wanted this verbal annihilation of our club more than you wanted the truth.

That my Sunday rant over and done with.

Top rant.
Just don't beat yourself down, as Salford said this is where the fun begins.
We'll the final laugh, am certain.

I open twitter take 5 seconds to look at the vitriol and close it again. It's not worth the energy to argue, I can see a lot of the main accounts are trying, but it's impossible to stem the tide until we have something positive to use as a weapon in return.

Getting messages from people I know ..mainly dippers and rags about relegation and titles stripped blah blah.

I just reply the same thing to every single one of them and then don't respond to anything else.

I simply put, Chelsea were found guilty of 74 charges between 2010 and 2016.

37 charges for concealing or misrepresenting financial transactions
31 charges for using or paying unauthorized, unlicensed agents and intermediaries
6 charges for breaching third-party player investment regulations

Chelsea got a £10m fine, I expect City will probably be treated harsher, maybe a £20m - £25m fine.

It winds them up, which is my intention. Fuck em..

That's precisely what they wanted to achieve.

Repost as much as you can. Someone with a media presence who is actually looking at the most important element in all of this. Namely WHY

And perhaps if the narrative shifted a bit to the question of WHY, then fans of the non-cartel red shits might then maybe not spout as much vitriol and stand up to cartel.

I got so fed up of this matter I decided to read a book. It’s called The Locked Door. I gave up. I just can’t get into it

[Wooders]

When the news broke, I felt anger, surprise, embarrassment and of course, huge disappointment in the outcome - my initial feeling was anger towards the club management, for doing this and putting us all in this situation.

Then came the vitriol from other fans, the delight in what punishment will befall us, the media, discrediting all of the amazing things we achieved, I see abuse of city fans with a social media presence, the ridiculously disproportionate punishment people think we should have and to be honest, I thought about walking away and just supporting a non league team and making it all fun and magical again for a while.

But as this goes on, I start to feel more tribal, more protective, more like this is a fight we should never run from, and honestly?
Fuck ‘em all, relegate us all you want, we will be back, and we will be better than ever, Blues will still be proud to be blues, we’ll still see goals - i have a feeling that the likes of donnarumma and haaland might not be as thin skinned as people think as well.

We have this, we’re city and I for one am all in, whatever the weather.

You can add Bernstein onto the list of undesirables as well.... he's slating us left right and center.
