Wouldn’t it be grand if the major non-sand affiliated clubs donated funds (using the brown envelope system as perfected by MFFC) to the Premier League so that it could hire top class lawyers to counter cheaty’s top class lawyers? We can dream.
These new developments will clearly bring any remaining fence-sitters and doubters over to the side of righteousness now, I would have thought. This evil has to be stopped.
I think an even better option would be for the supporter base of each of the other 19 clubs unite to protest and disrupt all MC115 games next season with tennis balls and teddie bears like they do in Germany until the final 38 days of the season remain.
Then force the cheating cunts to play their entire season day after day for 5-6 weeks.
I have no doubt that this is part of the deal offered to City players who which to avail of a huge payday at the end of their careers.
If contracts haven’t been completely run down then City get a big fee for the player from the family coffers in order to buy a new younger superstar and the player gets a million quid a week tax free to play in an inferior league to every other league they would potentially go to.
I actually like this idea. Any Man City away game get disrupted with non-violent protest to the point that the games don’t happen. Raining Teddy Bears on the pitch is fun.
“So, if Man City win this case, which starts next week, that would blow a big hole in the Premier League’s case at the hearing in November about the 115 charges because Man City would have argued successfully next week that some of these rules are unlawful and incompatible with UK competition law.”Skysports
They wouldn’t be able to refuse to play City. I think 1 option would be for the other 19 clubs to break away and form their own league and not invite City to join them
