Topics: 59It’s all alleged but I see you’ve already made your mind up, can’t beat an unproven conspiracy theory, let’s see what the solicitors make of it all when actual evidence is presented. Don’t think the Sheikh will be losing too much sleep just yet.

Strip them of their titles, then what? Give them to those Scousers?
Don’t like city, like Liverpool even less.

It’s not about who you like or dislike it matters the correct sanction is applied if any case is proven. Would you expect anything serious done against one of our top clubs? Wether we think it warranted or not we need to keep our heads in reality, money wins nearly everytime in the rest of life, I don’t expect anything different here

As pointed out already, they are innocent until proven guilty.
What I want to know is why, in 2023, are they going back to 2009? Have they not checked them out since then or are they incompetent?
It’s not only City who should be getting chased. There are a number of clubs around Europe who need reviewing.

personally i dont give a fig about Man C , the big 5 6 or 7 EPL clubs are a law unto themselves and too be honest the only club i give a rats arse about is Scunny.
History is for historians and those who like to dwell on the past whether missed opportunities or good bad decisions .. i say the future is CLARET N BLUE … thank the lord our club has a future.

Because in situations like this a club like City will have hired the finest legal minds to represent them and therefore these things take a lot of time.
It’s no surprise to me at all that City have been up to this, look at why their ownership is there. The current Man City has nothing to do with the Manchester City of the Maine Road days, it’s just a host body for the ownership.
And whilst I get Ironfromafar’s views, these things have an impact on clubs at our levels too, whether it’s clubs over-reaching to try to keep up with the Jones, B teams in the Football League trophy, or elite academies hoovering up all the best talent and depriving the lower league clubs of one of their main sources of revenue.
I hope that they throw the book at City but most of all I hope that they rip up the rulebook on club ownership so we cannot have countries owning football clubs.
It’s all money, and it stinks to high heaven.
Here we are, wallowing in poverty, and there they are, pigs in the trough.
I have no sympathy with any of them.2 users thanked author for this post.
I think how you describe Man City can be applied to all the big clubs in the Premier League TBH Ferrite, it’s all about money and I don’t see Chelsea or Man U or Liverpool or Arsenal and now even Newcastle being any different.
No you can’t: Man United, Arsenal & Liverpool are owned by American investors, rightly or wrongly. But they’re not owned by a country which is accused of funding the football club through payments disguised as sponsorship. Nor are they accused to trying to cover up this illicit activity.
Chelsea is a closer case in point, Abramovich should never have been allowed to buy the club and use it the way he did.
I agree that all of the big clubs are only interested in making more money for themselves and not in the good of the game but Man United is a very different beast from Man City.
I don’t think that any of the football authorities, either in England or Int’l, will have the wallet or the desire to fight them.
Well if that’s the case why has the Premier League brought charges against its richest & most successful club?

All good points being made Ferrite and I get your drift but the underlying problem for me is this is what you get when you sell out, football sold out back in the nineties and now the game is facing the unpleasant truths that money and craving success bring because of it. I’ve honestly no time for any of them despite some of the football being unbelievable at times. I guess it’s what you get for wanting unbelievable football based on the unbelievable expectations that every club behaves and respect each other, which they clearly don’t. The Premiership seems so unreal to me at times and is a million miles away from the rest of our football structure which is so well loved and cherished by football fans in this country.

The fact that a lot of the real big boys wanted out and go to a European Super League not so long ago should remind us all again what their real agenda is and it’s nowt to do with maintaining anything like the structure we have in this country.
The real villain and source of all these troubles is Murdoch.

Topics: 59Although touted as the best league in the world and possibly rightly so as earlier mentioned in this thread i too am not overly interested in the EPL more so the big 5 or 6 clubs and much prefer following the lower leagues (which is just as well being a Scunny fan for the best part of 50 years).
Grass roots football with mostly working class fans that follow their club for the right reasons… it must be boring being a City ManU Liverpool Chelsea fan playing in what are lop sided games and expected to win comfortably weekly im pleased to see the wheels coming off some of these so called mega clubs alas it could end up with abreak away super league as mooted a year or so back.
For me its Scunny United n only Scunny and thank the lord our club is safe to fight another season, next will more than likely be NLN some fantastic away days with a big following watching a rebuilt team playing attractive football at the right end of the table .. weve had too many years at the wrong end of a league but im sure from next season with this new owner , manager players and new found buzz around the place them days are behind us.
i dont give a rats arse if Man city are expunged kicked out .. wont change the course of my life, where as to have so nearly lost SUFC that certainly would have done.
