City found guilty of 114 of their 115 financial rules breaking charges.>No punishment announced yet but strong statements from the premier league and calls for all sorts of madness. Nothing off the table.Abu Dhabi threaten to pull all investment out of UK if City are punished >Gallagher mongs on suicide watchEngland batter Croatia 7-0 but nobody really cares because this international break is too long and too soon into the season
1st for Hull City

Match of the century in 6 days

>>158035326United vs Spurs?Wouldnt call that match of the century lad, neither team can attack nor defend despite a combined squad value of 1.6bn
>>158034593>>158034618How many Hull car crashes this season?
>>158035689still seething about aw, his right done you in
the jiggler above me is selling like shawn michaels for me
huzzah! it's coming home!
Arsenal are going back 2 back and nigerian descent women from London will be happy all summer long, again

Famed socialist club Liverpool will surely refuse to play Man City. They have strong viewpoints and won't want to be seen as a cowardly corporation which changes their morals on a whim
>>158036607>"socialist club"Klopp.emded this meme when he announced Caicedo for 115m
>>158036909this isn't fucking funny la people died and are still dying becoz that witch. have some respect twat
>>158036029Nigerian girls are always happy in London because they get lots of attention from cute English boys with blond hair and blue eyes.When Jack Grealish joins Chelsea he'll be in his element
>>158035734Exactly, kwabs of the century therefore match of the century
>>158036607Whole league should just refuse to play shitty until they're kicked out, invalidated the last 18 seasons. Pep's legacy is being bald, that's it. Poor man's maresca, who ironically has won more valid trophies
Manchester City FC
>>158037538Spending money to build up a good squad does not invalidate titles.
>>158037667If those cunt owners are capable of this level of financial doping, imagine what else they've been up to. Was only a few years ago refs were being paid lump sums for games in the UAE. Shit club that hasn't been relevant since the 70s.
>>158037847>dopingAKA spending money to build a good squad AKA what all clubs should be doing and not something shocking or improper>refs were being paid lump sums for games in the UAEMichael Oliver also got paid to referee games in Greece, but since Forest don't win shit you don't care about that at all, do you?
>>158035751Hopefully more scouse supporter ones instead
Shamcheatster Shifty FC
>>158037667>>158037906Is it another round of "deliberate misunderstanding" again
>>158037538>Whole league should just refuse to play shitty until they're kicked outYep however until then their next match is against Liverpool (who are at home) and therefore it is Liverpool who need to be the ones to take the stand. I'm sure they will!
>>158038024If the rules only exist to penalise competition then they're not fit for purpose. It's as simple as that.
imagine if a club half the size of newcastle claimed to have higher revenue than real madrid
>>158038058>penalise competitionSo it is another round of "deliberate misunderstanding", thanks for confirming
>>158038176You can make an argument whenever you like mate. Or maybe you can't.
>>158038259You haven't got an argument because you're deliberately misunderstanding the reason City were found guiltyIf City are that confident they're innocent, they should formally accuse the Premier League of introducing regulations that only exist to stifle club growth and prevent any club except a certain three from ever being successful
>>158037667Acquiring players and staff who would have otherwise gone elsewhere, including direct competitors, does impact the legitimacy of titles. It would be a different argument if teams like Newcastle were also allowed to throw personal money at the club, but they have played by the financial rules that all the other clubs agreed to.
>>158038029They might as well take the 3 point loss on principle instead of on the pitch, no?
>>158038338They will though mate. That's what they did in the APT case when the Court of Appeals agreed with City's arguments and found parts of APT unlawful and unenforceable. Same thing will happen here.>>158038370No it doesn't if the only reason preventing those sales were laws that only exist to stifle competition. "You aren't allowed to buy players!" But they should be, and they did.
>>158038424How much are you getting paid for these posts?Aren't you worried they might not pay after they get hit with the sanctions, have a massive fine to pay and are getting their accounts looked at more closely?
>>158038424>Same thing will happen here.Nope, Man City agreed that the current rules are valid: https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4407130/premier-league-statement>The Premier League and Manchester City FC have reached a settlement in relation to the arbitration commenced by the club earlier this year concerning the Premier League’s Associated Party Transaction (APT) Rules, and as a result the parties have agreed to terminate the proceedings.>This settlement brings an end to the dispute between the parties regarding the APT Rules. As part of the settlement, Manchester City accepts that the current APT Rules are valid and binding.>It has been agreed that neither the Premier League nor the club will be making any further comment about the matter.
>>158038424It’s like I'm actually trying to debate with Liam Gallagher
It's almost verging on cute how the cartel are acting like the vanguard of fairness and like they developed all of their growth completely organically over decades.
>>158038488I think the Premier League should be more worried about the fact they're going to have to pay City's £100m legal bill when they lose.>>158038511That was PR as part of the agreed settlement. The court still found parts of APT unlawful and unenforceable which is why they had to be changed. You're just ignoring that part, the relevant part, for some reason because you don't understand the case. What happened set a precedent that will also be used in the 115 case.>>158038535You'd need to actually start debating for that to happen
I’m surprised the sheik can’t afford better damage control than this. Did all the half decent shills get assigned to Reddit?
>>158035802>>158035929>>158038103Do you wanna know how I know you're depressed and how the "hate myself wanna die" "meme" youve posted in casual threads for a long time os a projection of your depression
does this beat the hillsborough one as the best headline produced by the suns?
>>158038712There would need to be some actual real damage first before there can be any damage control. The only thing City is dealing with is bad PR from the press which has whipped up a hysteria that poor fools like you have fallen for.
>>158038713don't know what you're waffling on about. imagine if bolton wanderers claimed to have record income during the a season with no fan attendance
>>158038570>That was PR as part of the agreed settlement.Sure it was m8, City would surely not put out a statement stating the Premier League was correct if they had been successful>The court still found parts of APT unlawful and unenforceable which is why they had to be changed. You're just ignoring that part, the relevant part, for some reason because you don't understand the case. Care to provide where that's evidenced, or are you still talking out of your arsehttps://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/46197481/manchester-city-settle-premier-league-dispute-apt-rules>City had mounted a legal challenge against the Premier League in February [2025], claiming that amended APT rules were unlawful following a 16-4 vote among the 20 Premier League clubs last November in favour of updating the rules to allow for greater scrutiny clubs receiving loans from shareholders.>But despite a lengthy battle, both City and the Premier League have now dropped the legal action over the most recent amendment of the APT rules.
>>158038756Mental
>>158038770>Care to provide where that's evidenced, or are you still talking out of your arseHere you go from the premier league's website: https://resources.premierleague.pulselive.com/premierleague/document/2025/02/14/5427b198-943b-4312-aab9-ae06b6b19285/Man-City-Premier-League-Second-Partial-Final-Award.pdf
>>158038058ok buvey
>>158038763The UAE itself is fucked, using a shit club for embezzlement. Was wondering why there seem to be so many defensive posts here given how obviously fucked the club is, how much are you all being paid out of interest? I could do a much better job
>>158039011Imputing these motives is simply an acknowledgement of having no argument. The media has not primed you with what to say because they've been feeding you lies about this case since it began.
I’m glad that city fans are so furious with the premier league’s corruption.It’ll make it that much less painful for them when they are ejected from it.
>>158038763>>158039048What's the apparent objective truth then?
>>158038756Is this why he was keen to play with Mamadou Sakai at Liverpool?
>>158039162That Man City will be fine. That the deeper the Premier League goes into this, will hurt them equally as much, that Man City have more than enough resources to cope with whatever happens to them. That PSR as it exists is a closed shop that enforces anti-competitive practices. And that every football fan who has been fed hysterical media lies about the end of City is going to get blueballed and disappointed when their fantasies do not come to pass.
>>158039315>That PSR as it exists is a closed shop that enforces anti-competitive practices.In that case Manchester City should name the clubs in their appeal.
