What kind of management team would think it was sensible to have a hard and fast rule than they would never sign someone surplus to requirements at an English (or other) top six club? 

If we took Maguire we'd be strengthening Man U.

We should be nowhere near the cast offs of the top 6 clubs, especially their players who are on downward spiral, when for a similar price we can get the players they are chasing, or are at least somewhere on their list.

This 100% - we have be there - done that.

I think we'll get to the quarter finals

Like I said. All they have done is broke rules set by the people who were the first to do it.

Fuck, football is politics isn’t it?

I get it - but the rules are there now and with City doing what they did has just thrown a huge microscope on us to make sure we don't do the same.  You read more about the Newcastle ownership that you do about City's.

How have they cheated?

They have done nothing the top 4 club hadn’t done.

Let’s not forget that Man Utd and Liverpool only had their football dominance because they had periods when they spent a fuck ton more than other clubs. In Liverpools case, they were bankrolled by the family who got the ball rolling in football/sports gambling.

Chelsea have done well due to spending more than both Man Utd and Liverpool.

Both Arsenal and the Spurs owners were the people behind the Premier League breaking away from the Football League (as well as Liverpool).

If they have broken any rules, it is rules that these clubs have enforced to stop others from doing what they did.

Got accused of over inflating Sponsorship deals and threw lawyers at it and got away with it on a technicality.   ALL eyes on Newcastle now so we don't do the same.

Agree it's a dark day for football if City are found guilty of cheating having them as Champions League winners as it shows cheating does work. Should've been sorted before any of their 3 trophies either way so it's not hanging over them

 

Seems to be completely forgotten by everyone at BT as if these charges dont exist 

It's a joke.  We never hear the last of journos saying Newcastle have questionable owners.  And yet - in terms of club ownership they are a beacon of how it should be done.

They had to cheat due to FFP which was only brought in to protect the big four clubs and Spurs, I don’t blame them for for doing it.

 

 

 

No they didn't 'have' to cheat - they chose to.  We'll win the CL in time but we'll do it the right way.

Don’t really get how anyone can dislike City, they have stopped the Man United dominance of the league , prevented Liverpool winning more league titles and in general pissed off the other big 4 teams and Spurs , how can you dislike them really ?

They cheated and got away with it on a technicality. Really they shouldn't be in this final - nevermind winning it.

Is Rio a City fan now?

Does Pep ever stop spitting? - sort it out man.

We're City, though. Shit, we've got more in the couch cushions than they've got in the bank.

We're no City - we've not over inflated Sponsorships deals to spent more money.  City only got away with it as they said the rules were time barred.  Shambles. UEFA just couldn't compete with the lawyers City threw at it.

We'll win it one day and we'll win it the right way.

See what 2billion can do for us over the next 7 years bud. 

We can't spent what City spent as all eyes on us after City got away with it.

Amazing what a billion can do.

1 goal will win this

Camera angle is poor 

Still can't believe we've qualified for the CL 

Better than Fun88 without a doubt.  But design wise it's a bit - meh.
