Manchester City's Sham Trial

[kenada_blue]

Athletic just reporting city only getting a fine at worst

Paraphrasing but...The IC felt that a financial sanction wouldn't effect Everton's wealthy owner. A sporting sanction for a sporting breach would be more appropriate.

Fines don't hurt big clubs ,points deducted do.
And vice versa for smaller clubs.

But no corruption at all here.

No, none whatsoever.

So not appropriate for our absentee owner but wholly appropriate for nation state that drop a million quid in a restaurant tip .

Honestly I’m actually quite happy , every only talks about that Rodri handball because it impacted the title race nobody mentioned the Keane penalty at Brighton say. At least now the world can see it

 

[Toffeeslam]

Apparently Chelsea are able to negotiate a financial settlement to sporting sanctions !?!?!?

How is that right when we and Forest got points deducted ?

Whole thing is a joke

City confident of staying in the PL then. Marmoush (great player) on his way there too and we can’t even get Broja back to Chelsea.

 

[YoboCopter]

so unfair but its nothing we didnt already know

 

[Bryan+]

I wonder why

 

[NathDogg]

The hypocrisy of the system is now in the light, and the digrace that is the PL and masters is obvious, that’s a positive.

That said, Everton and more importantly TFG, should be raising hell about the double standards and inconsistencies, plus suing the league for loss of revenue, emotional damage, reputation and damage, stres, whatever they can from the deduction last season. Forest should as well.

In fact, if I was mad mosh I’d be suing the shower of barstewards too.

Just don’t get super shagger silk involved, useless him.

Everton are a big club that acts like a small club
Forest are a small club that thinks they are a big club
City are a big club that acts like a big club

if you don't think or act like a big club you get bullied into oblivion

Ill always say that the club was naïve and also we were the canary in the coal mine. We're the only club to be in "close contact" with the league (and ignored their suggestions) and the first club to be put through their "rules". They had no idea how much of a farce it would be.

Every other club saw the loop holes after and used us as the benchmark to defend themselves.

I'm pretty sure if we did fight back from the start, the legal cost would be sky high, it would've been longer, and they would've given us more of the 18 points they wanted. I don't think Moshiri had the stomach for that either.

return fire on Goldbridge

If only they had sold hotels to themselves and been sponsored by banks that support human slavery.

Then no one would care.

 

[Yarrgh]

Good, the rules are a joke.

Yep. Simple as that.

 

[Yarrgh]

It must be just me who hope City 'get away with it' and show what a farce this ffp is. It was only brought in by the likes of the rs, man u Arsenal and a few continental clubs to stop the likes of City taking a piece of their cake. Look how Villa and the barcodes have suffered because of it,couldnt buy players to improve thier squads even when they had CL football.

It's possible to want to see the rules shown up for what they are and also know what a crooked bunch City are and think they deserve a good kicking.
