Dr.Spaceman Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 4 minutes ago, Big Geordie said: Whilst it's possible to feel 'some' sympathy for Man City supporters, remember folks whilst they have been disrupters, I would argue that they are still part of the top 6 cabal that has got PL football sewn up. They have bent and broken the rules like Chelsea, where we have had to do everything by the book (hopefully), whilst having to see some our brightest young talents to comply. I still think we've played too nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather we weren't owned by the Saudis/PIF - we all know who they are and what they do. But - it is what it is. Either you pay your money to go and watch, or you don't.

We'll only really find out if City take the PL to High Court for anti-competitive practice. That is why I am hoping the PL keep backing them against a wall so eventually they have to come firing back with the canons. Unfortunately I am no longer sure the Saudis see us as a vanity project, so even if they were allowed to pump millions into making us a top team, would they bother?

Whether they see us as a vanity project or not, pumping in millions and having us compete on the big stage would make us a much more lucrative investment.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 We are also a vehicle of PIF and the Saudi state, who I reckon don’t want to go around the western world breaking the rules of the markets they operate in and having legal battles with the people they work with.

The Prophet Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Stefan Borson innit. Really knows his stuff when it comes to PSR and the regulatory landscape, but like far too many talking heads types, the ego stoke of fame has given him the vindication to start discussing or speculating about stuff he's clearly not familiar with.
