Back in the day .... Me to a Worshipful Master: "What is your distress?" "Distress?" "That Union Flag up there, on top of your Orange Lodge club, is upside down. That's an international distress signal." * Looks up * "No distress. I'll get someone to fix it." "Ok. Just so's we know."

Premier League clubs might not need to grasp that nettle and vote to expel #MCFC after all. The FA are dropping a big hint here. City could well be suspended from all football activities by the FA when their appeal fails. That would be game over for the foreseeable.

Some Premier League clubs seem to be wobbling. They're worried about losing revenue if #MCFC are expelled. My advice, for what it's worth, is simple. Play a straight bat. Go with what you KNOW is the right thing to do. Dodge and weave at your peril. That seldom ends well for anyone.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

I reckon more than a few Man City players have instructed their agents to find a way out for them. Especially the recent signings. They were lied to. Add that into the mix. 'Scenes' doesn't come close. #MCFC

And another thing ... The Etihad Stadium is actually owned by Manchester Council. #MCFC rent it from the council. If someone wanted to pay £900 million to have their name over the door, shouldn't that money have gone to the people who actually own the gaff? THE TAX PAYERS OF MANCHESTER.

Reading the independent report into Man City's financial "arrangements" now, stopping after every paragraph, saying "Jesus"..."JESUS!"..."Holy fuck!" and again. This is beyond anything anyone imagined. Also started to wonder whether criminal proceedings are in the picture now.

Will the FA join the pile-on over Man City now? I think they should. What City did is the very definition of Bringing The Game Into Disrepute. #MCFC should be expelled from the FA indefinitely.
