Yes they still won leagues but they were nowhere near as dominant as they are now. He is one hell of a manager. It is what it is. I think if they win the treble he might move on. He has another open chequebook waiting for him at PSG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At most a suspended points deduction Man City have more money and better lawyers than both UEFA and the PL. They hired a legal "dream team" and they will tie all investigations in knots for at least the next decade. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be really bad for Man City. Toney gets an 8 month ban and cannot participate in any football. Surely what City has done is way worse and will bring a much sterner punishment. 5 year bans for everyone involved and the club expelled to the 9th tier would be a good start. I genuinely believe that if the truth came out, they'd be the biggest stain on football in decades. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2023 It seems the worries are true, there is no justice... Spent a billion pounds on players, broken the rules, cheated and fraudulent. They win the league almost every year and now they are going to cement their place with the greats of the game through winning the CL yet founded upon cheating. I actually hate them, they are boring to watch and have the ugliest footballer ever playing upfront. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but not just for last night away goals you saw more shocks as when the little guy scores a away goal it makes it harder for the bigger side. Now its not competitive at all for the small teams as they have no chance going against city in two legs as if they are lucky to score it gives them no advantage of a stronger team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say there is little to no chance of that happening and even if it did they will just win it next year and win the title. 41 minutes ago, pas5898 said: Man City have more money and better lawyers than both UEFA and the PL.

And that lies the problem these **** idiots allowing billionaires and states owning countries meaning they are more powerful than the governing bodies. They have killed the game absolutely killed it. So many people gwtting fwd up of the game. I dobt think its going to be as popular in next 10 years if this continues. Its not competitive at all anymore 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because they know if the team scores has very little impact on them. You set up your team differently When you had the away goal you were more cautious and it was more exciting You cant honestly tell me uits more exciting withiyt the away goal rule?

Seems fitting that the most rigged tournament in European football would allow the biggest financial cheats in football the very real possibility of winning it. A final I would happily avoid and the subsequent media fawning that will forget to mention the hundreds of rule breaches, extreme financial doping all to bow at the feet of Pep.

The_Steve Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Just turning competition and the spirit of football into a mechanical, boring exhibition game. Which I guess is what the power brokers want. The Harlem Globetrotters of financial doping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had the evidence to charge them then get it done, dish out a punishment at the same time. In 5 years time when they finally get round to it the whole landscape will have changed and people will probably not give a shit any more.

I watched Boro-Coventry instead. No good people moaning about Man. City if you're still glued to watching them in CL and critiquing Jack's every pass and dribble. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
