If he decides to leave at the end of this season does he still get a pay off?  I doubt it but city are bent as fuck so who knows.  Any other manager and I’d guess they’re angling for a payoff. 

 

 

It won't be on the books either way so who cares

angling for a payoff.

 

Starting to think he would welcome some sort of judgement against them. He will definitely bail telling everyone who will listen that he was done wrong by the owners and believed everything was kosher.

That seems more likely than any sort of rebuild.

[Dapower]

I bet he’s been paid off to say fuck all when the verdict rolls in another New York 12 month out for perfect pep 

[redheart]

Still it could be worse at least he isn't a twice convicted drug cheat...oh wait

Not sure where he's going with a couple of 14 year old boys though. 

Maybe he heading to David Cootes hotel?

There recruitment in the last couple of years has been dreadful.

 

Nunes isn’t good enough. Doku, for all his great skill, produces very little. Savinho has offered very little so far. Grealish is a £100m flop nobody seems to talk about. Phillips was a complete disaster. Gündoğan is past it. Gvardiol has been good, he’s seemingly out the side now.
 

They’ve let Lavia, Palmer, Alvarez & Frimpong go because they weren’t playing enough. Cancelo left because he fell out with Pep. Mahrez was getting on but always produced.

 

I genuinely agree with Carragher, it’s like us in 22/23, the same players have been ran into the ground and the areas haven’t been addressed. IMO, Rodri has been the best player in the world for the last couple of years, any club would miss him, the way a number of them have fallen off a cliff so suddenly, looking at it now, there demise might not quite have been so sudden, in hind site I think it was coming.

Hopefully the panel will be like the OJ jury and come back quickly, only with a guilty verdict. 
 

I see the 115 charges has increased to 130 charges.

A few of the charges related to non Co+operation until the present, obviously they haven't co-operated in the last couple of years since the charges were made so  they've gained a few more along the way.

I've said before, their refusal to share their accounts should have resulted in immediate expulsion.

I'm alright with delays now, this season is done for them anyway. Let it ruin next season for them.

[Lee909]

They will obviously appeal any guilty verdict

The owners will go crying and threatening the government about investment if they are punished and they'll start legal route against the whole league. They'd rather destroy everything on a long costly legal case than admit error

I don't get this chat that he's meant to be hilarious, the bloke is a complete and utter cunt. He was bankrolled by a Russian gangster who paved the way for Football to be completely fucking ruined by dodgy billionaires/oil states as well.

This.

 

He's the same bitter, twisted, malignant narcissist he's always been. People only buzz off him now because he's a has-been.

 

This is the same chap who hooked his finger into Tito Vilanova's eye and the  hid behind his staff with a big smirk on his face.

He’s a lying, cheating fucking cunt up there with the biggest ever cunts in the game and anyone who ever forgets that should hang their heads in shame. 
 

This is the cunt who deliberately lied about the paramedics and ambulance service when they were treating his goalkeeper with a life threatening brain injury.

That would be lovely. 
 

It might be smarter for them to just accept whatever punishment they get now, I doubt they will though, they just deny and deny and deny. 

[TheHowieLama]

All the "Non cooperating" charges will be dropped entirely imo.

Why would they drop them as they are the easiest to prove?

They are purely filler and if they were actually "rules" City would not be playing right now.

 

The league needs to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt the case of massive financial doping. Airtight.

That is what has been put across.

Anything short of that it becomes a PR nightmare.

That reads like an final answer may not be available before the end of next season.

He’s a City mouthpiece. The High Court have a fair number of cases ongoing at the same time. It seems to me the panel in this case are being paid to do this job alone. A judgement should come quicker.

[Scott_M]

If the verdict is due February-ish but in January City drop c.£150m on Guimarães and Zubimendi, we can assume they’ve gotten away with it.

Be interesting to see what some of the other clubs do if they do get away with it i can see it kicking off doubt they will let it drop

Us, the red mancs, spurs and Arsenal have all lodged the right to take legal proceedings following the hearing.
