The thread for those Vile Cheats Manchester City. Who cheated

so if the government loans an amount to the airline , the airline can use that money for whatever its running costs are, but that wouldn’t be seen as paying for the sponsorship directly? I think there was a period of time were the govt loaned them 5bn.. but i dont know if that was usd or £. a loophole i guess

There is something called Associated Party Transactions in the PL and it is tightly regulated.. And what Man City is saying now is literally contradicting what they said in a sworn statement to the US government.

I find it so hard to agree with people or see the logic in ‘we’ve lost out on titles’. If thiings that have happened didn’t happen then other things would have happened. The world would take a different course. We don’t know Jurgen Klopp would ever have arrived here. Brendan Rodgers, Hodgson or Dalglish might still be in charge! It is far too simplistic a position to take. The scum might not have spent 90 million on pogab or 85m ish on anthony.

@Limiescouse

Aye, this current position they are sending up as a trial balloon is something that is contradicted by them in a series of prior official positions, including the UEFA hearing

it’s like they don’t give a shit about the PL as a regulator and are willing to lie to them and the citeh fans. Only when faced with situations with actual legal ramifications, then they actually straighten themselves out with the threat of perjury hanging over their heads.

It is like being pissed off with yourself and not acknowledging it.

Fans of other PL clubs won’t stop watching their teams if they don’t feel the City punishment is sufficient. There might be a sense of injustice or frustration but is anyone here tearing up their Liverpool season ticket or cancelling their TV subscription if City don’t get punted to the moon for this? I doubt it.

I’m following LFC since quite some time, but have recently been on the brink of giving up on this league, because I’ve felt since years that things aren’t right. In my eyes, the charges Cheaty have been pulled up with are only the tip of the iceberg, relative to the entirety of their work. I honestly believe that the PL is in danger of becoming a fake league, a bit like these catch tournaments, where nobody truly believes anymore that it is a genuine competition, and everyone knows that the fights are made up.

I can’t speak for others, but if Cheaty get off too lightly, my interest in this league will further fade away. Them getting the just reward for their deeds would on the contrary have me more interested. It’s not funny to see the same club winning eight times out of ten, and knowing that they are so strong only because they are cheating all along the way. Nope, something has to change fundamentally, and removing Cheaty from the equation would be a credible start for that.

My interest has waned significantly in recent years and probably from COVID onwards it’s really dipped. If anything our battles with City have been the most exciting part of it and actually kept me more interested than I otherwise would. Maybe that’s why I’m a little less wound up than most.

But it’s not just the City cloud. It’s the obscene money, the ridiculous partisanship, the content creator crap, Neville and Carragher, over priced TV subscriptions, having a betting company shoved down your throat at every turn, VAR, shite refs, the treatment of match going fans, fucking half time shows during the world cup final. City are just another part of the game eating itself in the pursuit of cash.

We’ve missed our moments. No punishment gets those moments back. I’d love to see City stripped of their titles but I don’t want them re-awarded. It’d be completely hollow and just a number on the historical record. Supporting a football club is about the emotions it gives you. Nothing that happens to them gives us that feeling of winning the league. If anything them getting relegated almost guarantees Arsenal fans a couple more titles. Where’s the justice in that?

[Hope.in.your.heart]

I agree with you that they aren’t the sole problem in this league. But since Abu Dhabi came in eighteen years ago, they are an important part and symbol of what went wrong since then. Removing them and their corrupt owners would be a step in the right direction imo.

They can all fall into the same bracket as content creators and influencers.

I’d post my view on what they should be collectively called, but I wont as there’s a very low bar for suspensions recently.

I believe the proposed Super League described them as ‘fans of the future’ as opposed to ‘legacy fans.’

Another example of clubs putting commercial interests ahead of what’s right and proper…

[klopptinho]

fans of the future… a ground full of people looking at their phones and taking selfies .. whilst not taking a blind bit of notice of the excellent officiating .. ahem

This ploy to implicate and deflect toward Etihad is pure verbiage.

City still nevertheless contracted for that sponsorship and Etihad are crucially not PL members. As such they have no standing, and will always be a 3rd party.

Job done. Bosh.

[mattyhurst]

So Ethiad Airlines aren’t actually mentioned but they want to sue?

[peterroberts]

As in a normal court of law , would City’s refusal to accept their guilt be considered an aggravating factor when they are sentenced ?

[LondonRich]

Beyond arrogance. We knew that were cheating for years.

Now they just lie. It makes my blood boil. Nail them.
