Their financial reporting is suspect, to say the least.
Even allowing for the possibility that it might be legitimate (it isn’t) you can’t throw two billion pounds at something and then say, after the fact, “From this point on we are a going concern as a profitable club.”
Err… may we ask about the two billion injection that got you to this point?
They report sell out crowds all the time too. That’s something else that is illegitimate. We see loads of empty light blue seats on the TV, and from people closer to the situation, it is a known fact that they peddle cheap tickets to students in an effort to try to rent a crowd.
Whole thing is a sham.

Wasn’t an excuse for us apparently these last 7-8 seasons.

"City have now recorded a profit every season since 2014-15, with the exception of the Covid-impacted 2019-20 campaign.”
Unfortunately for them, they’ve been charged for things they didn’t record.
Vile cheating cunts

I have to be honest, as much as I am enjoying City’s poor form, I almost want it to stop, so I don’t have to put up with Pep’s ‘all about me’, ‘life is so tough at the moment’ bleating.
There are people in the world losing sleep because they are worried about how they are going to pay for Xmas, and he is in such a bad place that he is only eating Soup.
Actually, fuck it, long may it continue the whining shit.

Is Baldy Fraudy getting sacked in the morning?

The interesting thing is this season is rapidly turning from it just being a pleasant and unexpected failure, to one that ends an era with them needing a clear out to start again. And in this era of cost controls, even with the limitations of it, that is a lot harder to do in one go than it was 15 years ago. Especially as so many of their players they might otherwise look to raise money by selling are in the process of winding down their contract reducing their sell on value even more. Add in the complications from the 130 charges, and they may really struggle to retool the way they are increasingly looking like they need to do.

Forest obviously just really love dirty money from the UAE…
Just saw Walker pretending to be headbutted. I think he should get a suspension for that.

Yeah, especially as he was just as responsible for the dumb head to head tough posturing as fake Halaand was
Beaten at home by United. That’s serious.
Pep…
I’m not good enough.
Translation: Please talk about me all week.

Embarrassing but he’s incapable of shame. Should be a 3 game ban for cheating to get the same for opponent
By definition, since he plays for (and even captains) City.
I’ve heard a couple of reports that state any punishment coming their way, will be at the end of 2025/26 season.
If that snippet is correct, they have two more chances of qualifying for the CL before they get sentenced…!!!
Surely they can’t be allowed this privilege…
In theory, they could be playing in the CL, while in the first division…
Maybe there is a method in the madness for delaying the outcome… it is to allow them to qualify for the CL…!
Even if that report is slightly skew-whiff… and punishment is dished out at the end of this season… theoretically, they could still be in the CL next season if they finish top 4.
