Manchester City’s Financial Doping

You have more faith than me. They weren't dealing with a state against Everton.
I think they would’ve held off on Everton if they were trying to find some dodgy way of saving City. Otherwise it makes no sense making such a huge decision against Everton before the city ruling as even before this everyone’s eyes were on City, now the pressure for them to be dealt with appropriately is so enormous I really don’t see a way out of this anymore.

If they somehow drop the charges or don’t follow through, the back lash would be insane. They would have expected that and therefore at least delayed ruling on Everton as they’ve invited unnecessary pressure.

I really hope you're right.

But the thing about back lash, no matter the size, they can ride it out because they just don't care. And eventually it will fade out and get buried under some other ****. They can also manipulate the public narrative as we've seen before.

One of the reasons why are they investigated is that they provide false financial data.
So, why should anybody believe any data they publish?
They have more sponsors than fans, and suddenly they sell same number of shirts like Bayern?

Most of these shirts are probably bought by casual fans and glory hunters.
They see the hype about Man City doing good in the PL and CL, with some pretty smexy and popular players and they just buy a shirt because, why not.

It’s more the marketing efforts that some of these clubs have in Africa and Asia tbh.

Arsenal used to be leaders in Africa specifically but have declined during the years along with their reduced presence in the team.

yeah just enough time for UAE to pay the PL few hundred of millions and UK government force the PL to do nothing so won't ruin the relationship between tow countries because the UK will be at risk losing big projects.

you fooling nobody.

Absolutely.

The day I ever see a PSG or City supporter here, I will walk up to them & take a photo to document them as you would an animal in the wild :lol:
 

Arsenal Quotes

I knew we were very different, that he (Ferguson) had a total hold over his club while at that time I was still more of a coach. I also recognised his huge qualities. He knew how to surround himself with the right people and didn't rest on his laurels when he was successful.
