      If it wasn’t, we would have been hit with a points deduction. Notice how all of your favorite pundits haven’t brought up those charges in a while. Probably because they know it’s all bs.

        The case in ongoing, so no, you wouldn’t have.

        If we ignore the ridiculous ‘favourite’ part.

        They brought it up when it first happened. Nothing of note has happened yet, so why would they keep bringing it up?

        And in the UK people tread carefully around things that are alleged because they don’t want to get in trouble. You have to say alleged, but usually people just steer clear of it. So what exactly do you expect them to keep saying? Talking about it just opens them up to issues. Why not wait until a result?

        It’s crazy that instead of thinking why people might not go on live TV in the UK and talk about alleged things all the time when there’s been no updates about it, you just assume it’s because it’s bullshit.

          I mean imo it should be brought up, wasn’t mentioned at all during city’s treble celebrations last year. Instead the media were trying to present it as this wholesome story. Was kind of sickening.

            I do agree that it should, but also with the laws in the UK broadcasters just aren’t going to take the risk, and I understand that.

        Like what pisses me off with Manchester City fans is that you dont just accept that your club is what it is. Atleast i could respect that, instead of this desperation trying to claim that you are purest og them all.

        G. Nev brought it up a couple of weeks back when discussing Everton.

        Also, they are not going to speak on it too much or say what they feel, as Sky could get sued.

        Heck, your owners called Klopp xenophobic when he said that clubs owned by Gulf states can do what they want.

      Hey nothing stopping the rest of us setting up shell companies and funnelling our owners money through them.

      Although I doubt it is 100% legit, it is probably a lot closer than many people think. Problem is that they have been allowed to operate for so many years with more than questionable financials, that they’ve now built the club into something more sustainable.
