Whatever about idiots chatting shit on you tube etc., its strange to me how the club don't correct major media outlets when then make false statements or spread mistruths about MCFC.
The history is that we just accept it, don't see that changing irrespective of the outcome.
Save it for the court case, i think our owners have more class than to descend to the gutter with most of the idiots on SM. I do think they should simply be banned from our premises though

Yeah I am not really talking about the shite on social media, I am more referring to major media such as SKY, BBC etc. People who are supposed to be reputable. (Note the use of the word supposed).
We just take it and its annoying.

this goes way beyond football
the pl have opened a can of worms that could have massive political ramifications... i personally think that the independent commission are way out of their depth on this one and will need to be 200% sure of any wrong doings. if they get anything wrong, the fall out could spell the end of the pl as we know it.

This.
As far as I’m aware, it’s not just footie they’re saying we wronged, they’re saying we handed out bribes and cooked our books. The general football fan is obsessed with us being relegated….surely people may end up in prison if they find us guilty? Relegation is nothing.
For what it’s worth, I reckon the Prem are regretting doing this now. I think they did it last Feb hoping to knock the stuffing out of our title challenge and it backfired. Every other football fan is desperate to see a huge punishment whether we’re guilty or not, so the Prem have made a rod for their own backs here. They don’t win unless they put us in the Second Division and we lose the appeal. Anything else and, like Nige has said, we could see the end of the PL.

which is just the way the US red shirt cartel wants it to enable their SL franchise replacement.

I'd agree with this. The PL are being played by the US backed cartel. This is pure blackmail. If / when we are found to be not guilty, the PL falls apart and that will then be the catalyst for a newer version of the super league

The PL do seem to be treading very dangerous ground. They timed the announcement to try and show they can regulate the game and negate the need for the proposed independent government regulator, IMHO without much thought of how they go about actually making it stick.
If they had actually thought about it before spouting off, they surely would have realised that the pressure from the US led cartel would mean they either win or die.
If the PL don't prove the charges, or a substantial percentage of them, they're in deep shit, and it will start up all the super league stuff again.
To coin a phrase, they've certainly bitten off more than they can chew.

Radio 4 Today Programme's devoted rag Nick Robinson's closing comment just now that Real Madrid had replaced Man City at the top of the latest Deloitte Football Club Highest Revenue League contrasts with his predictable silence when City were in first place last year. The swampies infest every part of MSM.

Foden’s mum put in handcuffs for kicking off in a club and getting booted out.

Irrelevant, it’s only being reported on now. With video footage. It’s out in the public she’s in court for it.

Anybody heard about this?
Man City could be banned from Champions League as nightmare scenario draws closer
Manchester City are the reigning European champions - but they could be prevented from playing in next year's Champions League if they fail to win the Premier League

FFS sick of this click bate shit... 'could be banned'
Alll you need to know in that article is in this pararaph, unfortunately it will be the bit the sheep will conveniently ignore to suite their narrative....
It should be noted that UEFA has previously found a way past similar issues. For example, RB Leipzig and FC Salzburg are both owned by the Red Bull group but both have been able to compete in the Champions League together in recent years after Salzburg took steps to clarify a clear separation between them and Leizpig by changing personnel on their board.
Ask yourself this, do you think Khaldoon and the Sheikh wouldn't have taken steps to prevent us reaching THEIR holy grail.

Thanks for that, didn’t know anything about this rule at all, I am sure this will have been sorted with the board,

Sorry HDS that turned into a bit of rant
Fairly sure it is why CFG have only 44.3% share in Girona.
I might be wrong but looking in the link here
https://www.cityfootballgroup.com/our-clubs/It is the only club that states a part ownership.

My understanding is that a majority ownership is needed for this rule to apply.
City group has something like a 45% stake in Girona, with Peps brother owning the other 55%.
I stand to be corrected,but I'm sure this is the case.
