They could break £3bn if they wanted to. Just funnel it from somewhere.

Money printer go into overtime mode "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
Anyone watching?
He's suddenly interested now it's his lot who were deprived of a league title.
But on a serious note, the more scrutiny this gets in high profile media source the better.
This sheepish situation of charges being made, but absolutely no timescale on pursuing them / finding them guilty with punishments is absolutely ludicrous.

Apparently a Times exclusive incoming
Here's the revelation for those who aren't watching:
This isn't brand new info: this came from a UEFA CFCB report from 2020 that was never published. In short, one person made two £15m payments that was supposed to come from a sponsor. This will be factored into the PL investigation, so we'll see what happens with that.

Started watching it now.
I really want to watch this 
A reminder that the charges are 2008 - 2018, so wouldn't affect the last few years ridiculously.
You've got David Dein, ex Arsenal saying he's not even sure it's the "smoking gun" it appears to be, the charges have to be proven, and that there's no chance they'll have any titles removed.
Thanks Dein!

Nothing new, Piers just interested in if Arsenal will get the league title off City by the PL. Like mentioned above he didn't give a toss when Liverpool were a cnut's hair off City numerous times. 
I've stopped watching.

This is the Youtube film in question:
Bit of a nothing program so far, but the key is these charges are a decade long up to 2018. So the last 5 years don't count.
Even though they've obviously been the end game of what all those charges did.

They don't count in the current charges list. That's not to say there's no suspicion of anything after that date.
They will have had to draw a line somewhere in order to proceed.
Well that’s kinda of a valid argument tbf. It’s a very broken system.
City would have still been possible working within the rules. But it would have taken 20 instead of 10 years.
FFP needs an overhaul. Huge punishments for City and PSG would facilitate it. As it is, clubs are being taught that flouting the rules has zero consequence so they’ll be watered down.
City are now in a position that they’ll support tighter constraints in the next five years, despite riding roughshod over them for a decade.
When football became business and balance sheet it fecked the sport.
Yep, you can’t decide to not comply with ffp rules (whatever it is in England) and not get done for it
Another time I’ll support City begrudgingly.
This country’s rail network is on its knees and expensive even when it works.
The Community Shield should be held at Villa Park anytime there’s a North-South divide. London is rich. The north is not. Arsenal fans paying a tenner in travel costs to attend and Northern fans paying £100-200 is disgusting.
City should not need fans in London, or wealthy fans in Manchester to sell their tickets. It’s gross.
What has helped City escape scrutiny so well until now is their work with the local community and how they treat the media.
It's been exceptionally clever as you'll never hear any commentator pointing out empty seats and for years there was a constant almost City written line about "traffic problems" around the ground.
Traffic problems that didn't see the ground fill up later. Every week bar playing us.
It’s telling that this is the 115th page of this thread. Would be great if City gets a crushing blow before the end of this page.
115

record revenues for a British club apparently. Then we see why.The Manchester 115ers. A wank stain on football.
Everything they have achieved has been done without any romance, story or glamour…nothing…just hard cash.

Modern works of fiction are becoming more and more elaborate.
There isn't a single redeeming quality about Manchester City as a football club or a business.
People need to stop calling them a brilliant footballing side as well. It helps give the impression that it's fine to cheat if you are good.

Keegan turning off comments to that Tweet show he's a spineless mouthpiece
The UEFA Adjudicatory Chamber verdict was incredibly damning.
You think they're going to get their punishment by tomorrow morning at latest
It'll take years.
Just watched this
Jesus christ CAS are a fecking joke
I have absolutely no idea how these cnuts have gotten away with this it's so brazen!
That this is still happily ongoing just further fuels my suspicions that nothing is actually going to come of these charges

Why does CAS have such a short statute of limitations?
The documentary released today suggests that City picked 2/3 CAS adjudicators.

City picking 2/3 of the CAS and it only goes to 2018 apparently due to zero cooperation from City since the UEFA investigation.
Each side should pick one. Then you pick an impartial third. So it’s almost always 2-1.
The issue is the 3rd was McDougall and no one seems to be able to explain how he (having headed his firms Mena office and had Etisalat and others as clients) was deemed impartial.
It's just blatant.
But City have to be admired for the football they play… blah, blah blah!
I thought the last 5 charges were for not cooperating in 2019 - 23.
I’ll add another one to your points. We have a thread here asking “Does City leave you cold?” Part of the problem is that it does. Supporters of each club tend to think rather City than any of our rivals. Instead of all other club supporters being united in a strong and vocal fight against City’s cheating, we opt for our own ulterior motives and end up with lukewarm protests that aren’t worthy of reporting. The media absolutely would swing the hammer if heavy and hard protests existed.
