Topic: Man City - cheating bastards rumbled

[rob1966]

Never come between a man and his birthday cake...

My lad was at their academy when they covered up the plaque on the training pitch named after Yaya. They threw a cover over it until they could get someone to remove the plaque

[rob1966]

Did Pip sign a new contract yet? Wonder if he might consider walking?

If he's true to his word (ha ha ha), he said he'd walk if they were found guilty of cheating. SSN showed the clip this afternoon.

[Wabaloolah]

However if something serious happens to them I will eat my own cock.

thank you, new signature! How would you define "something serious"?

Damn, I miss him 

[Wabaloolah]

Haha it's all kicking off

Man City believe a former member of the playing or coaching staff turned informer for the Premier League’s investigation.

The club is currently carrying out internal investigations to find the identity of the individual.

@TheAthleticFC

be funny if it was Arteta

[rob1966]

I'm gonna fuck you up Pep

[redalways]

This is serious shit for City.

Timed it perfectly.

Bluemoon are melting down, the judge that will look at the case is supposedly a lifelong Arsenal fan.
It’s all part of the conspiracy.

Go get em boyz!

[McSquared]

Would be good to see them relegated to national league north (or lower)

@TheAthleticFC

The absolute arrogance of this. If this is true and they believe that, it’s basically ‘we were cheating but hiding it well until someone grassed’

Fucking horrible club. I hope it was Aguero.

[Lycan]

If City get off with this, it really is the end of Premier League football.

So here we go again, with another lawyered-up deep dive into undeclared payments,

 

Barney has come out swinging

No doubt news of the charges, which include allegations of inflated deals being struck with connected parties, will have sent shockwaves through City’s commercial sponsors jealous, as always, of their reputations.

Although to date there is no news of any swingeing statement from First Abu Dhabi Bank, Etihad Airways, Experience Abu Dhabi, Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi, Aldar Properties of Abu Dhabi, Masdar energy of Abu Dhabi, and e& telecoms of Abu Dhabi. No word either from Dude Wipes, the club’s official male-oriented toilet paper partner, although who knows, all things considered this may well turn out to be a case for the dudes.

Please let it be James Milner ...please ...🙏 😎

The Chorley boys would make mince-meat of them.

Milner.

Very weak discussion on the BBC Monday Night Club relating to City. This is a sensational news story not in the sense it wasn't known but more in the fact that of the potential consequences. The City project has been dubious since 2008. Their spending has been off the charts.

1. They should be stripped of all trophies won since 2008 and where possible those trophies re-allocated or left unawarded as a permanent reminder of the shame City brought to the game.
2. Relegated to the 3rd division in England.
3. Fined 50m for every season since they were found to have acted inappropriately.
4. 5 year transfer ban.
5. 10 year champions league ban.
 
If their are no serious consequences for City as a result of today's report then the whole merit and integrity of the PL has to be called into question.

[rob1966]

That's the worry for the PL and Sky. I've said before, that agree with whoever it was on here who said we should fuck the PL off and go back to the EFL. They'd love to get the top division back, we'd have Division 1 to 4 again and money pouring into the League. With a decent set up, more money could go down the divisions and the product would be intact, millions around the globe would still tune in to watch us and Utd.

It’s a strange one, even just the first team is asking a lot for 25 people to all keep their mouths shut.

Their owners will walk away, the players will go as a non doped City cannot pay the wages of Haaland, never mind the rest, the Champions League is something they will never see again.

And ultimately the whole pyramid.

Never happen though.

Pep should be made to walk naked through the streets of manchester while Septa Unella rings a bell and shouts shame...

[Bergersrightwingviews]

Informer is probably Mancini. It’s an open secret he was being paid off the books. He may want his own back or not want the club to get off scott free. It wasn’t his idea to fiddle his wages.

[RedSince86]

I hope it's Sterling who's the Mole ADFC are looking for and wants a winners medal at LFC.

One League title at Liverpool is worth 10 at that Plastic abomination of a so called Football Club.

[Bergersrightwingviews]

He's one of their worst sycophants. Nice to see the rats jumping from a sinking ship.

Yes. It’s a it rich coming from him. He truly is a pathetic worm of a man.

[Zizou]

It's actual bang to rights cheating. They can call them 'rule breaches' all they want, but I prefer the C word.

Cheats. Always fucking have been.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Mate, its over a 100 breaches. IF they get found guilty they aren't just getting away with a slap on the wrist and a fine.

It's over a hundred breaches until 2018. There's another 4 years worth to potentially take into account.

Never let this be forgotten. There'll be plenty going into arse-covering mode. Carragher is another.

Looking forward to hearing Noel Gallagher's balanced and impartial opinion on this.

Saw an absolute thunderbastard last time I watched Chorley. Reckon they just might

[tonysleft]

I'm speaking specifically of stripping City of their titles and awarding them to the 2nd place team. The PL won't want to have to deal with the financial ramifications of bumping every team up one, of paying teams TV money based on their 'new' table position, of having to deal with relegation teams who suddenly wouldn't be relegated. How does that affect the Championship, etc.? They won't want to open up the larger can of worms where team sponsors are now on the hook for paying out bonuses for table positions, where teams will have to pay players performance bonuses, etc. It will be much easier to just leave the seasons City won as blank, leaving everything else as it was.

However, there's no reason to think, regardless of the decision, that teams won't sue either the league or City (or both) for financial hardships caused by the financial doping. I would love to see long-term ramifications for all the times the PL turned a blind eye.

I agree with all this which is why I do think they're going to end up relegated after dragging this out as long as they can. I don't see any titles being given to anyone. But for once I do think something really serious is gonna be done to them and it'll be hilarious.

[Bergersrightwingviews]

From the Ronay article.

Putting aside the heart-rending prospect of multibillionaire autocrats being denied their sacred right to buy things, all the things, instantly, the fact is these rules do exist. Make a case. Challenge them publicly. Convince the wider world they should be reformed.

Good that he has finally noticed the first bit. Regarding the second, if only there were a class of people who had a public platform and whose job it was to uncover the truth, report on it and try to influence public opinion. Hmmm. We could call such people, I don’t know, reporter-ers?

[BarryCrocker]

Man City are the Donald Trump of football. They'll litigate and sue the PL for any decision brought against them. They'll drag it through the courts until the statute of limitations expires and in the end settle for a cash penalty that will be funded by the dodgy deals that brought this all about.

[west_london_red]

Informer is probably Mancini. It’s an open secret he was being paid off the books. He may want his own back or not want the club to get off scott free. It wasn’t his idea to fiddle his wages.

Or he’s entered a plea bargain sort of arrangement to keep himself out of trouble.
