Just like trump supporters. what about hillarys emails etc..Why do man city -fans need to compare apples and oranges. and just admit their owners treat gay people like trash? or is that to much?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If people what an honest conversation then let’s do it. But the motive behind connecting gay rights in Abu Dhabi to today’s statement is pretty clear to see. So for that reason I’m not prepared to engage with someone using something like that as a trivial opportunity to point score on a football forum.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Out of interest, are you really that invested in middle eastern politics that you want to debate both the Abu Dhabi regime in general and also Mansours remit and own actions within it?

I'm happy to have that if you really are, this isn't really the thread for it though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely. Always keen to learn more about that region and those around it as it develops an understanding of things far beyond football.

Sorry mate, meant to reply that to his original post rather than your response!

Yeah I did think that tbh. But still I’d be more than happy to do it properly. Suddenly loads of fans are expertS in middle eastern geo politics and ardent supporters of human rights, it just doesn’t come across as genuine most of the time.

All this hate, we didn't put the 5 year rule in, UEFA did. Just playing by their rules.

This is true, and honestly it was stupid of UEFA to push this if it was past the statute of limitations that they themselves put in.

The issue will be if it come out that the main reason city got off was because of this (I doubt this will be the case but we won't know until they release the details) then it would feel like they did break the rules and manage to get off ob a technicality. If this is the case then it is going to look bad for City's reputation (whether fans care or not is a different matter).

We broke the rules’ 7 years ago and got punished for it

UEFA thought they could come back for seconds on the same offence and they’ve still extorted £10m out of us

“Yep, makes total sense. 😂”

I wouldn’t expect it to make sense to someone so bitter about City they were crying the bookies have them as favourites to win the league next year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
See you can't address the point though.
So if City have been exonerated, and CAS have found that UEFAs case was ill conceived, due to their own regulations in regard to a 5 year timescale foe admissible evidence, why on earth are City being fined?
Surely they should be receiving an apology, and compensation. 🤔
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you want me to address the point with? They haven’t released the evidence yet so I’ll wait for that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This information in regard to what I am talking about has already been released by both CAS, and UEFA.
And the question remains, why are City being fined for not cooperating with an ill conceived, and flawed investigation.
It litteraly makes no sense.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe if they used the correct terminology ie bribe, then it would be more clear 👍

Wouldn’t bother me too much, after trying for 12 years and spending around 1.2 billion (net) your owners probably think you’re due it 👍

Better than spending 30 years and £1.5bn to win a tainted Premier League title.

I guess you can relate after 30 years of trying to win the league spending almost 1.5b along the way 😂

Ha. Easy joke.

Spending 1.2 billion to not win a trophy is better than spending 1.5 billion to win a trophy? Fair enough

We've won 4 PL trophies, that would cost you £5bn using your logic.

Apologise?. You guys have cheated your way to the top, there is no doubt about that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The verdict is that they actually havent. But keep trying, love all these wums hoping for a City ban. Love your salty tears.

I think his point might have been the logic was flawed in the first place...

Don't usually bother with this site anymore due to the dipper trolls, but today it has genuinely been worth it.🤮😢🤮

The Pool fans jealousy of City knows no bounds. Haven't they got a Covid Convention to attend?

Brilliant article from Martin Samuel, even gets a subtle dig in at the likes of Dan Roan, David Conn and some of buttkissing media types who had pronounced us guilty before they'd even heard the evidence.

and still those with little cognitive process think City are guilty and got off on some technicality. Obsessed Pool fans are amazing frankly. They can look forward to another 30 years waiting for a PL now mired in their own pointless obsession.

There’s a couple of key bits to me. The first one is the narrative being set around the evidence being not established. I have a feeling a few will have even more egg on their faces when the CAS details fully come out and it shows that the evidence was so easily refutable it begs the question why Uefa felt it was anywhere near conclusive enough in the first place.

The second bit is around the time barring. I’ve seen a few journalists make snide remarks about the best lawyers or us getting off on a technicality. I have not seen one properly question how on earth Uefa could think they could possibly charge us, breaching their own regulations in doing so. Not only that but also after being pulled up by CAS for trying to do exactly the same already when they overruled them in the PSG case.

That should be the main story with all of this - it’s that incompetent that the real underlying motives of Uefa charging us is what should be being questioned. I have my theories but that’s for another day!
