Topic: Man City - Cheating Bastards on & off the pitch - 115 Charges

[spider-neil]

I'm cynical about City being punished. The charges will be in the hands of the courts and courts are influenced by defenders and prosecutors and City will have the best defenders money can buy.

Understandable considering they avoided the punishment due last time. But that was due to a timing technicality if I remember correctly and they won't be able to work that angle this time. You just have to hope the authorities have the bottle to throw the book at them if found guilty.

I find the arguments about Klopp not being a Premier League great hilarious when there is the massive elephant in the room of the 115 charges levelled at the team he was challenging. I've watched a few such arguments on ESPN etc not once were the charges brought up.

Ped on the bbc sport website saying Abu Dhabi will get the respect from World Football if they win cheat their way to a fourth successive PL title. This cheating prick is the biggest troll out there. He is definitely a bluelooner. He knows what they are and they don’t deserve an ounce or respect for being cheating scum.

It kills him that nobody gives a shit about his accomplishments there. They won a treble last year and nobody gave a fuck. They'll likely win a fourth consecutive title today and nobody will give a fuck.

Is there a gag order you reckon? Or likes of Sky sports and TNT just playing it safe legally until something more official is announced?

That it is never, ever mentioned suggests so.

I would guess the former, as City continue to deny everything. But if its true and the case is being heard in the autumn this story will naturally become bigger. They will all have to acknowledge it then.

Makes sense, we know city’s lawyers are aggressive.

Whole thing is a shambles.

Their lawyers have already lost one battle, as they wanted to keep everything quiet and that has been rejected as the case is in the public interest. It's another little bit of proof that for all their team of lawyers they are not winning everything.

I don’t expect them too but until something is proven, I could see them making noise if sky allowed their banter brigade to chat about it. So makes sense them and likes of TNT just playing game
