      not a chance in Hell the EPL have shown their hand without covering everything having seen how they weasled out of the Uefa charges. I'd have the EPL massive favourites to have most of these charges proven. If City prolong this every team in the EPL and in Europe will see them trying to avoid the penalty for being found out.

      You would hope so. But they will be paying lawyers handsomely to get them off ... on a technicality ... anything.

      Everyone knows they're guilty. The arrogance of them saying they do more revenue than Real Madrid ffs ... what a joke.

      Ffp is pretty much dead anyway. If they get away with this then the game is as well.

      I remember reading an article where it said they were using their own companies as sponsors. Basically taking money from one hand and putting it in the other and calling it income. Dirty dirty bas**rds

      Shell companies that exist only to funnel money.

      Very much so and i would not want that to happen. The players may have been acquired by going around the rules, but the players themselves did not cheat on the field.

      What's even more annoying is how luck they were. Kompany's thunderbastard from well outside the box is one in a million shot for a CB. He doesn't hit that and we win the title. Then you have the botched VAR call where Everton did not get that penalty from a handball late in the game. VAR doesn't f**k up and we win the title.

      ...or we hold on to our 2-0 lead v Brighton at home, or Fabinho scores that open goal against City, or Allison clears the ball away at Spurs, or Villa don't hit the iceberg on the last day. Any one of those things happen, and the neighbours not getting a penalty in a game we have no influence over, is irrelevant to us. As it is, I've never seen a VAR score or miss a penalty in my life yet.

      This predicament that City have brought upon themselves should sound alarm bells out to any club prepared to sell out to any of these State backed investment funds. They are evil, and although they come laden with endless pots of gold, in time they will drag your club into a sewer of greed and treachery. All clubs should steer clear, especially ours, and retain your/our core identity and values.

      Retaining our core identity and values is only good enough to be mid table these days. If you want better than that, well we're going to have to put the money in, that means new owners with long arms and deep pockets.

      Newcastle have a warchest available to spend, the mancs are in a bidding war, Chelsea are blowing 500mn quid in one season on players, and we're supposed to be impressed by spending a tenth of that in one window and expect to be competitive?

      Not only are we not getting new owners, we're not getting new investment either. If it takes fans to dust off the snake sponsored shirts they used to wear, and a few banners at the gate, maybe the liars and absentee landlords that run this club would get the message.

      City are an extreme case. It's not the first time they've been summoned to explain how they do business. Most clubs don't behave like that. It's taken Newcastle only 12 months to jump from the bottom of the heap to dining at the top table. And they haven't even gone mad yet. Alternatively, it's taken us 6 months to slide quietly down the pack, and now everyone must go, because the current owners still want Champions League level income on the back of Championship level expenditure, as they always have.
