Kangaroo panel finds us guilty

Of course they told the filthy scum cartel clubs first, sure haven't they got little Dickie in their trousers.

I saw a video today showing scruffy jim being interviewed in 2024 it was on the typical city channel on YT.
He stated that the 'big 6' should continue to receive preferencial treatment from the PL as it was them that were thw headliners.
Seems nothing haa changed

One thing I’ve noticed throughout the fallout and boiling piss is this figure of £830M that we have supposedly over inflated our sponsorship deals. And when asked, rival fans start crying about how unfair it all is as we’ve apparently bought the trophies. Like the rags haven’t spend a billion.

And these same fans then want us to pay compensation to other teams because of the unfairness of it all, boo hoo hoo.

How about we counter sue the clubs who we bought the players from?
Arsenal moaning about what we’ve spent? Ask them for the fees for Nasri, Clichy, Adebayor back
The dippers - what about the £49M for Sterling
Spuds - £45M for Walker
Everton - £145M for Stones Lescott Rodwell Ndiaye
Bournemouth- £100M for Semenyo and Ake

What these idiots fail to realise, is that our owners haven’t taken a penny out, it’s all gone on improving the Etihad campus and the squad, (unlike some owners), and that the monies spent have filtered through the football pyramid to the betterment of lots of clubs

Also the Aguero goal was pointed out at the time to be the single biggest reason why the PL TV money rights, both domestically and throughout the world, increased significantly. If the Aguero goal had never happened the slice of the TV pie would be far far less than what it is now.

But of course none of this will be reported on. This week the vitriol seems to have gone up a notch and pundits and fans alike are falling over themselves to administer punishment and what should happen. Reason and logic and sensible arguments have long since gone out of the window

The modern media just feed on any scrap until nothing remains. They are a cancer on humanity.

If there isn’t news they create their own then comment on it, for their own argument and against it. Then the other papers pick up on that bs and report it was actual news when it’s mostly just absolute lies and bs.

I don’t even know why we really need the media anymore. Local source independent reporting would be the way to go.

If you read articles in the Fail , and any comments. You will see many names with three syllables , three single syllable word stuck together . These are generated names from some team at the fail producing silly contentious remarks.

These generate other remarks and more adverts can be sent and more money coming in.

It's time governments insist that websites like the fail, x etc start giving you 10% of the advert sales for using your characteristics and private details. Perhaps as much as 50% for you allowing them to use your data ?

I think I'll get ' at least we never killed anyone' printed on the back of my man city top.

This is not only gloriously funny.
It's a decent business idea, under the circumstances.
Buy 10k original home kits, on say 30 pct rebate from the Club, print that "essay conclusion" on the back and resell at full price

My lad told me to watch a West Ham guy on YT. Claret and Booze. Very much appreciated his take. Great watch. He’s 100% correct!!!

What about all the clubs that benefited from our spending? Does it go that far if it was tarnished money if you know what I mean

Posted about that very same thing HDS

Raises an interesting point

If we get hit with a points deduction and huge fine, we now need to play dirty, if we have any evidence of cheating mismanagement and skulduggery in any PL club we need to get this out in MSM and fucking have the lot banned and fined.

What is a huge minus for us, IMO, is that we have never had a major media outlet behind us.
I think we have seriously lacked that over the past decade or so. In fact, we have had almost the exact opposite. While other clubs have had powerful media ecosystems helping shape the narrative around them, we have largely been left to fight our own battles.

Over the last six months or so, I’ve been paying more attention to The Athletic, for example. They are owned by The New York Times, which has had links in the past with the group that controls the criminals. And if you look closely at their coverage, even when it is wrapped in gold and presented as sophisticated journalism, it can still be absolute shit. They have constantly pushed the narrative that the red clubs, Arse and Bin Dippers, are doing a fantastic job. Last year, they were endlessly pumping up Wirtz and telling everyone how brilliant he was, while much of the football world was laughing at the hype.

But what really showed their colours to me was an article they published last week, or the week before, as a free “gift” article. No paywall. And it was basically a beautifully packaged version of the exact agenda we have been hearing for years: how fucked we are, what we have supposedly done wrong, and why our model is fundamentally flawed, all delivered through that pseudo-intellectual, supposedly objective tone.

And that, to me, is exactly what we are missing.
We need a media institution capable of building, defending and explaining our narrative over years. Because if we start doing that now, we are already 10–15 years behind. For a decade or more, the dominant narrative around us has been “oil club”, “cheating machine”, “financial doping” and everything that comes with it. That narrative has been repeated so relentlessly that it has become accepted as fact by a huge part of the football audience.

And that is why I genuinely believe the 2018–2023 generation of our team will never receive the respect it deserves.
But because nobody spent the same amount of time, energy and institutional power telling the world just how fucking good they actually were.

Because, sadly, we learned that what happens on the pitch means fuckall.

Clubs fear political interference in Man City appeal - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/ar ... 93qq5175wo

Oh dear, how sad - never mind. Love that the ordsall quays branch of red shite OSC are keeping up the narrative. The other live text piece they are running is how the topic of conversation in the press conferences today will be the charges. No prizes for guessing the opening question in each and every one of them this week.
Don't phone, it's just for fun.

Agree PP

The odd Journalist such as Martin Samuel has bugged up our achievements but they are very much in the minority

Whole swathes of newspaper print and online articles have been used to bash us in the past, present and undoubtedly the future
