Manchester City's Sham Trial

[Seathestars]

Can't wait for the fall out. If we are being sued every other club should sue City.
The will claim they were denied League Titles and they may have a point.

I don't care what happens, I want to see Richard Masters head roll. I absolutely despise him and his face.

Chelsea?

We all know Chelsea funnelled illicit money and paid players etc. off the books, but that was in a time when football was regulation was pretty lax.

City's allegations are in a time when there were regulations, and they have allegedly bypassed them. The issue is, it's not just about football rules.

If they have paid players and managers through offshore accounts and whatnot, we're talking about a widespread tax evasion scheme.

City's crimes have the upside of utterly boiling the piss of the Kopites. Small price to pay.

I'm happy to let the charges slide for another 12 months.

Masters would be an ideal Tory MP, he's made for the role, corrupt, slimy, two faced, he could definitely slide under a door with a top hat on.

Nothing to see here. They're innocent.

Move along Kopites.

They're owned by a Middle Eastern Royal Family who have no doubt ingratiated themselves with our government who would sell their soul to anyone with money and have no principles. Do you really think anything will happen?

I hope they strip last years title from Liverpool and hand it to City.

Fine by me.

This is very much a case that's Liverpool v City. There's no difference between City spending half a billion or Liverpool doing it. The rest is just politics and Liverpool's behind the scenes efforts to use any soft power it has with the football authorities.
