Win all our games left... simples

 

[Wymsey]

Brown envelopes etc..

[yorkie1999]

The whole system is corrupt, right from the top down to the refs and var. Mind, if we win all our remaining game, it won't matter anyway.

We might as well let the big clubs have their European elite league. What’s the point anymore when some can cheat and the rules don’t apply.

Man city aren't part of the euro elite. Never will be. They aren't box office

 

I'd actually go as far to claim that your average footballing Joe in Spain, Serbia or Slovakia would be more interested in us than them.

Nothing less then I expected to be honest, sets no example for other teams at all, may aswell do what you want

[Grebfromgrebland]

They have owners that can make any country in the world uncomfortable.

 

They have genuine power.

We would get the book thrown at us if we did the same. They'd make an example of us.

Ok we are 4th currently with 4 games left so it’s in our own hands. If we can’t do it then we are probably not good enough to be in it anyway. We have just fallen short probably of breaking this year into the top 4 , squad depth inexperience is going to cost us. We will still have some great away days hopefully in cities that are better than lots of you think . Enjoy shipmates if we are good enough we will beet Man Utd last day if we don’t we have to accept our cannon lacked a bit of powder.

[Matt]

If we can't qualify by making top 4 then we only have ourselves to blame anyway given where we were and the gap we had.

 

We're quick to call other clubs bottlers, have a laugh and giggle but if we don't make top 4 we've bottled it and not been good enough simple.

 

Money talks and Man City were always going to have it overturned but let's not beat around the bush our form since Christmas has been nothing short of undeserving European football anyway but if it softens the blow or people wanna bury their heads in the sand and look for something to blame other than ourselves for not getting that then knock yourselves out.

 

It's in our hands however, the objective should have been to finish atleast 4th anyway, take the thought of a 'comfort blanket' of 5th out the equation, but hopefully confirmation of taking 5th of the table focuses some minds.

 

Regardless of this being true or not these opinions remain the same, anything other than a top 4 place is a failure (Even if 5th place qualifies for CL) on our part is how I assess this season given where we were and the gap we had, certainly given our form and performances since Christmas.

"sounding like" 

 

"Nothing confirmed yet"

 

"we may find out tomorrow or Monday" 

 

Very vague, Wouldn't get too worked up till there's an official announcement.

I do care about seeing Leicester in the Champions League - I’m pissed off at the fact that Man City can buy their way to success, be proven to cheat and just have it overturned because they have more money than anyone else. 

If we don't make it to the CL, we can only blame ourselves. We put ourselves in this situation.

 

Man City cheating has nothing to do with it.

[teblin]

I want to finish 3rd anyway

[Grebfromgrebland]

I did used to feel that if we don't make top four it would be a big cock up by the team but when you look at the squads of Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal and the money thrown around by the likes of Everton who always seem to snaffle the players we are after.

 

Having so many games in quick succession only highlights how poor our squad is. 

 

The fact that we held on to third for so long is nothing short of remarkable.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Why is anyone surprised? This was always going to happen. 

[AKCJ]

That's Ian Cheeseman, the die hard Manchester City fan.

[Stevosevic]

Ffs. 

 

Who is the source? Reputable?

Well it does doesn’t it?

 

Because if Man City hadn’t broken the rules who’s to say they’d be in the top 4?

 

We’d not be qualifying on a technicality, we’d be qualifying based on being one of the 4 highest placed English teams who didn’t break Uefa’s rules.

[Stuntman_Mike]

Let's just wait for official confirmation from those undertaking the review and take it from there.

Where’s the fun in that?

[jeffschlupp]

I hope he's just going off what Guardiola has said today.

 

It would be truly remarkable to see CAS completely exonerate them given the evidence on the table, and the fact that UEFA are the authority here.

 

Makes our task extremely difficult now. But we've done difficult before.

Man City fan that has been employed by Man City themselves at times in the past (including this season).

 

I still believe that Man City are trying to put out positive statements in the hope they can keep their players happy and keep sponsors paying. Make it sound like they are being hard done by.

 

I would be gobsmacked if they are completely exonerated.
