City Charged By Premier League

Yeah, although the cheating in 2014-2018 has helped them win multiple titles since, as some of the players like KDB (bought in 2015) were integral to their successes going forward in 2022.
They are STILL making up the numbers (see 8xBet) but ho hum.
 
As I read this, it basically endorses most of what Der Spiegel reported - artificial sponsorship deals, diversion of player and manager salaries (so basically inflating revenue and understating costs).
I suspect the limited periods over which the charges have been made are just the ones that they have investigated - this stuff could still be going on, the PL just hasn't looked at the later years yet (possibly because they have more evidence on the earlier ones so it's easier to make a case).
I share the cynicism that they'll throw expensive lawyers at it and most likely get away with it, BUT:
- the people involved in a 4-year investigation aren't going to give up easily
- (I've said this before) the PL need to (be seen to) do a proper job on this because you can bet the other teams in the league (possible exceptions of Newcastle and Chelsea) will want to see City punished and will be very vocal about it.
 
Also, the difference between CAS and the Premier league is that there is no age limit to the documentation and evidence. Which is basically what got City off those charges.
4 year investigation and 100 different key points in the charges, so I highly doubt it will end in a slap on the wrist fine.
But I also doubt that we will see them punished in a way that we feel is justified.
 
Ironic that this comes out a few days after Chelsea have blown 300 mill £ in a January transfer window. Waving a big fuck you to FFP with 8,5 year long player contracts. Hope they do them next.

More than that, the Premier League has a rule that says they can take information from any source, legitimate or not. So they can rely on “stolen” emails and the only defence City has is proving they are false, they can’t just say they were improperly sourced and therefore inadmissible.
 
I think we will actually get awarded a title retroactively, I think that because it won't offer any real joy, and that feels about right, doesn't it?

One of my memories of us being at the tippity top is cancelling my Airbnb in Liverpool due to a pandemic.
 
It took me about 45 seconds to get my Man City friend, who has spent weeks hammering me with “Liverpool are finished”. “Kliperty Klopp is a moaner with no clue”, “you net spent more than us” to block me …

… and I didn’t even go in hard.

such a bunch of fucking crybaby entitled wankers that can’t cope when someone gives it up ‘em!!!!

And then there’s their fans !!!
 
It'll be hilarious watching guardiola have to squirm responding to this. He knows what his club is, he doesn't even like it.

It'd be substantially more funny if we could actively participate in a game of football, though.

If he ever unblocks you, send him this..

Well… more an acquaintance, who recently decided, I think he was bored, that “banter” winding me up about Liverpool was fun.

Every day, multiple articles pulled off the internet talking about Liverpool being fucked - actually worse than DonnaBlueMoron.

Literally 45 seconds of me sending gifs saying “guilty” or “cheater” was all it took to break him.

Weak as piss.

I wanted to string it out for a while before breaking him properly.
