The reporting of this generally has been hysterical. It's as if this is a serious crime and not some tin pot rules. Even if guilty, it's not really that serious. Man invests in his own business, chop off his head. They need to get some perspective. These were financial rules that were brought in just before the period that is under question. Not rules of the game for years. Honestly, I couldn't really give a toss if we broke them. Child killers get less vitriol. It's fed right from the board rooms of the red cartel to the BBC.

BBC at it again this morning with their relentless attacks. Apparently PL clubs are very concerned about government political interference in the charges given the impacts on UK UAE relations. The BBC have been leading the campaign against us from the beginning. They are about as impartial as that PLs "independent panel". 

Another point. The timing of the guilty announcement. Just at the beginning of a 3 week international break to allow the most PR damage to the club as possible is worth noting. Clearly deliberate.

Welcome back Swiss, long time no see.

I have a question for you though, who won the handicap league?

If we lose the appeal, I'm of half a mind for the owners to declare bankruptcy and none of the fuckers get anything.

I wonder if it's too late to sue Liverpool for getting all English clubs banned from Europe for 5 years...


Also, people can report the Premier league as anti-competitive.

Travelling Manchester City fans have placed bulk orders for inflatable bananas ahead of the Liverpool match, framing the display as a celebration of club history and a show of support after the committee ruling. Reviving a tradition that began at Maine Road in 1987.

Haaland went off injured last night against Portugal. Didn't look great. Talk about being kicked when you're down. Hopefully it's not serious and he makes a quick recovery.

So, the red cartel and players are going to sue City for losing out on prize money and bonuses.
I hope they all get nothing other than lawyer fees 👍

When I read the title of this thread, I thought you was going to blame Mick McCarthy for our 114 charges 😂

Thanks for reminding me that football used to be about football and fun.
