The confidence of the Man City owner in his most recent statement makes me wonder what they’re planning. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s overturned yet.

 

I have no doubt Man City are guilty, but money and geopolitics are at play and let’s face it they usually come out on top. 

They've got nothing. If they had it would have come out in the investigation.

 

Every statement they make is pure bluster.

 

They're done.

Not really any point taking the titles away because going forward no one is going to take those achievements seriously anyway.
 

Essentially the pyramid has had over a decades worth of history robbed.

 

Nothing they achieved was done fairly

Apparently to be kicked out there needs to be a vote with 15 teams agreeing to boot them out .

 

 

 

I think this is what happened in Scotland to Rangers when they got demoted down the leagues .

Would clubs willingly give up matchday revenue by reducing the number of clubs?

Oh yeah the outrageous fees we paid for Vardy, Albrighton, Huth, Mahrez etc really puts us on a par with Manchester City

Who said on a par?

 

We broke FFP rules in 2013/14. Permitted overspend was £8m and we reported an overspend by £20m.

 

Might have been more if not for King Power sponsorship deals, and while the Vichai era was a million times more professional than his son's, I wouldn't be shocked if those deals helped cook the books in our favour.

550 pages submitted by the premier league covering the breaches 
 

The PL set out its case in a Statement of Charges (subsequently amended) and a Statement

of Facts. Together those documents (which ran to approximately 500 pages) set out

a) The 100+ breaches of the PL Rules alleged by the PL to have been committed by the

Club, and

b) The facts and matters on which the PL relied to support the Charges.

Section E of the Statement of Charges recorded that the PL regarded the Club’s conduct as

having involved ‘extremely serious, significant, sustained and intentional or reckless

breaches of rules critical to the proper and fair operation of the PL’s league competition’.

11) The PL’s Statement of Charges and Statement of Facts were subsequently supplemented

with an additional 50 pages of Further Information.

For one game /season maybe with 4 teams getting promoted or only two going down ?

 

Anyways is probably months off that sort of thing happening.

This video has either got to be heavily edited or something, 3:29 long and he doesn’t blink once

Agreed. It's the arrogance of the oil-rich "power families" of that region which are driving those over-confident statements. They've got so used to paying themselves out of trouble (and to throw cash to get whatever they want). 

 

Not going to wash here, though. Will be a rude awakening.

This will go the way of the Chelsea Abramovich saga I’d imagine and they’ll be forced to sell the club, as they’ll not be deemed fit for purpose.

 

Also, I’m just waiting for someone to look at us and try and understand if BC Game is also “tagged money”, put in by King Power through the back door, as that is basically what Manchester City are being accused of. 
 

It still doesn’t alter my opinion though that they did this to compete with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, who themselves are allowed to spend money willy nilly, as historically they spent more to grow larger. 
 

On the face of it though, I’d suggest they’ve maybe broke UK law in being rather dodgy! So this will go criminal. 
 

Appealing to go to the High Court might make this worse for them!

Over 800 million quid of masked owner investment pretending to be sponsorship.  On a level beyond anything ever seen.
