Get to fuck clubshop wanker.

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

Fucking mutant.

The way Bernstein is commenting is quite disturbing. Wise people keep quiet. Clearly Bernstein is a massive disappointment.

Considering he’s a lifelong City supporter and an ex chairman it’s very bizarre

Definitely doesn’t have our six

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.

Exactly the way I feel.

I’ve stayed away from social media quite a lot this weekend, and whenever I did go back on, one of the first things I found myself doing was blocking red pages I had never even seen in my life. Pages I didn’t follow, had never interacted with, and in some cases had absolutely no reason to be showing up on my feed,yet somehow they were right there, often among the first posts I was being served. Maybe that’s just the algorithm, maybe it isn’t, but it certainly feels like an enormous amount of effort and money has gone into making sure that the anti-City narrative is constantly pushed into people’s faces. What struck me most was how little of it seemed to be about football anymore. It’s one thing to dislike us, to mock us, to celebrate when we lose, or to disagree with everything the club represents. That’s football. But the sheer volume and intensity of the hatred I came across was something else entirely. I didn't believe it until the past couple of days. From fucking Stoke fans, to fucking other cavemen.

And I’m genuinely trying not to dramatise this, but sometimes the feeling you get from reading some of this stuff is that they don’t simply want City beaten, they want us gone. Dead and buried. Extinct. As if the ultimate objective isn’t for City to lose a game, a title or even a period of dominance, but for the club, and us, to somehow cease to exist as a footballing force altogether. That’s what I found so striking: the hatred feels almost animalistic at times. Not criticism, not rivalry, not even ordinary football tribalism, but a visceral hatred directed at the very existence of Manchester City. And maybe social media amplifies the worst of people, maybe the algorithms deliberately keep feeding us the most extreme content because outrage gets engagement. But after spending some time away from it and then coming back, the contrast was impossible to miss. You realise just how much of the discourse around City has moved beyond football. I don't believe anymore they just want us to lose. They seem to want there to be nothing left of us when they’re done and take everything away, everyfucking single thing.

It proves that was all along an agenda. The question is, do you want to be part of this anymore? Even if we win?
I am close to saying no. City won everything, I am ok with that. They can fuck off

Sorry for the long post.

[salford city]

^^ no way are the club giving in to this agenda. Nothing has changed. All the mongs who are crawling out looking to pick over our carcass are going to be mighty disappointed. The club have said all there is to say with the chairman's message. They are playing the long game. We are not going anywhere and this current intensified hatred will galvanise the match going fans and the entire club so yes, fuck them all but we crack on.

[Mase]

I set my stall out years ago with this shit and friends/family so I've only had one text this weekend and no one else has said anything to me. I've walked away from people mid-conversation if I think theyre absolutely mongs, no point wasting energy trying to reason with them.

[sheblue]

So whay happens now, still nothing official yet as far as I can see.
So we just keep waiting for the 'Independent Commission' to actually make a public statement.

How long do we have to wait.

[Paul68]

I'm sticking by the Sheik. - What a fantastic owner we are lucky enough to have and this is what is causing a lot of the jealousy. - let the bitter cunts stew in their own boiling piss and just laugh at them.

This is the Sheiks statement in case you missed the link CTID Hants posted - read it - and hold our heads high

I have been part of this Club for 18 years. I have had the privilege to stand with you in the Etihad, at Wembley, and in Istanbul. This Club matters to me, and you have shown and told me – time and time again - how much Manchester City matters to you. This is why I am writing to you today.
Following Friday’s media reporting, many of you will have spent your evening answering questions and responding to messages from friends, family and colleagues. So have I. Here’s what I said to my family: The Premier League process still has a long way to run, and our confidence and intent in proving the Club’s innocence is just as strong as when this began.

There are so many things that I would like to be able to share with you to help you understand why we feel so confident in our position. But the strict confidentiality of the legal process and our determination to respect it means I cannot do that at the moment. Even this letter underwent several legal checks to make sure it complies.

I ask you to please carefully read the statement below, which we gave on Friday, and the statement we issued in February 2023 (also below). Every word matters and holds true.

While some people have been quick to reach their own conclusions, and there is so much noise swirling around us, nothing has changed. We have faced challenges together before and have prevailed. There remain many who want to undermine the momentum of our Club. We will not give them that opportunity.

We have some exciting moments to look forward to after this international break. We travel to Anfield in a fortnight, and then host Paris St Germain in the Champions League back at Etihad Stadium - moments that give us an opportunity to celebrate the strength of the Manchester City family.

Thank you, as always, for your constant support.

Khaldoon Al Mubarak

Chairman

Manchester City Football Club

Club Statement Friday 25th September 2026

The Premier League process remains ongoing, with significant elements to be completed, and subject to strict confidentiality. As such Manchester City FC’s position remains consistent with the Club’s statement of February 2023.

The Club has diligently respected due process for eight years on the basis that the Premier League Board and Executive would behave as an independent, impartial and fair-minded regulator, free from partisan influence.

Club Statement February 2023

Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with.

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.

We still have to wait for the 'official' guilty verdict. I'd be surprised if this is long in coming. It's obviously been leaked but that in itself could be an issue for the PL. We have to complete the whole PL process including arbritration before when can move to the high court and pursue the actual fact that the whole process was neither independant non discretionary or fucking legal never mind against competition law

Just as an aside, our next game happens to be away at the dippers
This was “leaked” during a particularly long International break where the most damage to ourselves could happen as there is no PL football to discuss

Pound to a penny, this was a dipper that spilled this. The fact the PL hasn’t released a statement is telling

Right, perfectly put.
My 5 pence is that we'll get a pretty harsh "punishment " at this first stage, slightly reduced on the appeal.
Then will come the arbitration stage , where I full expect PL to come up with an actual very "amicable" resolution.
THE FUCKING LAST THING THEY WANT IS THEIR CORRUPTION BE EXPOSED IN A REAL COURT OF LAW! They will do everything to avoid that.
It'll remain to be seen if Khaldoon will accept the settlement or will be willing to pursue a complete vindication.

Just been informed by a spuds fan that it - CAN'T - go to arbitration???
the PL can't be taken to arbitration apparently.... so I said - they can certainly be taken to high court by man city tho at which point he fucked off....

Spuds are by definition bulshitters of the highest grade.
Forgot to add that City most certainly will file a stay, not sure if needed twice, before and after the appeal.

I hope we take the pl all the way to the high court and expose them for what they are. When the official verdict is announced are the sanctions part of the announcement? Or do we have to wait for a seperate sanctions announcement? Giving all the cunts more time to slag us off and magnifying the situation even more.

[ruralblue]

Now we paid off the QPR players in the 90th minute to throw the game.

Simular to when Bernstein was dishing out French Connection clobber to the Gillngham players in the 94th minute then.

They will be looking at Dennis Tuearts overhead kick in 76 next!

Honestly, I don't know.
As far as I know, normally in criminal trials it takes a subsequent earing (mainly to adjust the punishment to the particular case) while in civil cases it is normally embodied into the plaintiff allegation. Although it's entirely with the court powers to rule otherwise.
In this case, being essentially a PL proceeding, I don't a clue.
By the fact that they are taking time before the formal announcement of the verdict, you might be inclined to think it will come altogether, but I really don't know.

LMAO.
As someone said above, this is entirely what the original purpose was about.
To slag City endlessly.
Who fucking cares of the red scums.
City will keep on talking on the pitch and have the final laughs in due time.

Thanks appreciate the reply. If it all comes together I'd be satisfied as it eliminates all the media speculation and doom mongering.

I fear it won't ever stop, methinks.
The whole shit has been engineered to, at very least, discredit City within the public opinion and and cut the loss of fans of the red shite within the young generations.
The halt of City success on competitions would be a bonus, but lives only in the wet dreams of the corrupt cartel.NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.
