Kangaroo panel finds us guilty

Not sure I’m too fond of this “loophole” use to justify no rule breaking though

It's not a loophole, it's allowable under the rules. If it was illegal Arse couldn't be sponsored by a state owned airline.

TBH, I can't imagine why the Sheik would pay City and not City's sponsors when one is legal and the other isn't. Makes no sense at all.

Well I for one am!
IF, and it is still a big if, SM has put his own money in, so what? And if it was the AD government, also so what? Since the dawn of football, clubs have been funded by benefactor owners, usually also local and a (rich) fan, supplementing the club's earnings to better the club. That's why clubs are important parts of their community.
That only changed with FFP, which we all know was only devised to keep the cartel clubs at the top table getting fatter with no one able to challenge them. FFP has nothing to do with "protecting clubs", or football integrity.
An unjust rule will always be unjust, until someone is brave enough to stand up and fight the rule-makers. Without that mindset we'd still be living under a feudal system!
That someone is Manchester City. And we all know good always prevails over evil...

WELL SAID!
The very fact that nobody had challenged FFP for the anti-trade travesty it is will remain for me more mysterious than the magical mystery tour.
Been screaming it since 2009, hundreds of times.

It must be the case that the money didn't come directly from the sheik (as you say that would be idiotic) but they have used the emails and whatever else as evidence to come to the conclusi that it came to city from him but through the sponsors.

Hence, their final decision was based on 'just their opinion' due to the emails and ignored factual wires from the Abu Dabi government.

That's the point though, under FFP rules or whatever it's called now it's immaterial where money paid by a sponsor comes from. And if it's paid by the sponsors owner it's perfectly legit. The only issue is one they went for originally, which is fair value, and they've established it was, long ago.

But the "opinion" of the "independent" panel was that it came direct from the owner. That's the only way they could call foul play.

These cunts just can't help themselves

This from that tin pot wannabe F365


Guardiola ruled out of next job as FA threaten Man City in 58-word statement

Pep Guardiola will not be the next England manager thanks to a legacy tainted by Manchester City’s breaches of financial fair play as the FA deliver a strong 58-word statement on the independent commission’s findings.

Buried deep in the article it says that Pep kept them waiting for 2 months before extending with us....

So in a nut shell, Pep already turned them down....

Utter cunts literally making stories up knowing the average thick cunt .won't read the full article and go off the geadline and opening paragraph.....

Certainly looks that way.

But then the decision handed down by a jury in any trial is essentially just an opinion.

It's an opinion based on hearing and weighing up all the evidence, not just ignoring one side as it doesn't fit the pre-arranged verdict. Just saying...

There continues to be a lot of people '(usual suspects) assuming the status quo. They don't or won't imagine a situation where the PL are proven to be wrong. Time will tell. Bookmark these pages they will be getting it back in spades if we get this overturned.

Love this. Saw something yesterday saying we should not be able to exert political power over the outcome - ha, fuck that. Its okfor the media to push the agenda of the red cartel though I guess. You can see the exit strategy for the PL and it's supporters forming - loophole and political influence

There are no morals in a bitter dog fight.

I dont give a fuck what anyone thinks we should use all means possible to defend ourselves against the cartel league and their masses of media cronies.
We are facing a tsunami of bitter hate, lies, resentment and misinformation. Make no mistske they want to kill us.
Keep the gloves off.
I for one sincerely hope tge league burns. It is what has to happen

I hope we win the battle and then leave the Premier League of our own volition. I can't go on caring about the PL any more after this and would welcome a European Super League.

Almost all footballers are academically bereft. That certainly includes Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. Both of them are paid in an economy of opinion. Without opinion they are irrelevant. So they have to have strong and clear opinions to exist. Those opinions are created in brains with iq’s of less than 80.

It’s like believing what a 10 year old child says.

Journalists are the same.

By even reading it, you pay them and damage your mental health tiny bit by tiny bit
