Jeremie Lannoy. Sort of luxury hotelier, sort of nerd. Talks randomly about Arsenal, Formula 1, digital art, music and stuff (but mostly rants about football)

Etihad supporting the club is basically the chairman doing a pres conference with a fake moustache and pretending he’s absolutely not the same person as the chairman of the club.

It shows health only of clubs are not issuing sham contracts and cheating. If you don’t understand that maybe … Oh wait you’re a city fan

That never happened. They were still guilty and the judgement was thrown away because of a 5 years limit to condemn that was over. The prem does not have that.

Oh sweety. You believe a club with no significance before their cheating years will bring the ship down with them? The only ship sinking is City. All the titles were won by cheating, they’re guilty. I feel genuinely bad for you, you went to believe it’s all good, but the party is over.

Thank you for a classic example of moving the goal post. And just a reminder: they have been found guilty. This time and last time by UEFA. They were not cleared by UEFA, the case was thrown in appeal on a technicality, that does not exist for the FA. If they do it every day, they’re still guilty.

Absolutely nobody says that here. No-bo-dy Fact is the Abu Dhabi royal familly, the government of abi Dhabi and the uae, and Etihad, these are exactly the same people. It’s not racism or putting all Arab in the same basket. They are the same physical entities, the same people 🤷🏻‍♂️

The brother of the sheikh of Abu Dhabi and president of the UAE, who is the himself vice-president of the UAE and member of the royal family of Abu Dhabi and owner of man city, tries to tell us that he’s not “the government”. Their audacity is amazing, it will be studied.

Their irrefutable evidence is that they absolutely did it but wearing another hat. Which is … drum roll … exactly what they are guilty of 😅

We conducted a very thorough survey and asked people — "Will they care if this version of Manchester City is expelled from the Football pyramid?"

For 100000000 time. Net spend means nothing, it only helps City fans pretend their club is not over spending because they also keep on selling their players in deal that look as good as all their so Meagan deals. Being called delusional by city fans became so much more fun lately.

And they will leave as soon as City is in trouble 🤷🏻‍♂️ That club has no genuine fan base.

Even in the UAE they can't manage to be big. I lived in 9 different countries (UAE included), in the shops you'll see: United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real, Bayern, Barca ... City? Only in the Puma shop. And you'll never see anyone wearing one, when the others are everywhere. They have no reach.

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
It is indeed highly debatable. Internationally City is a dwarf, despite all their titles, they did not manage to do what Chelsea did in their shady years and position themselves as a genuine historic club. Yes in the next year or 2, there might be an impact, but nothing the league can't survive.

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Etihad, a company that helped the fraud and belongs to the royal family of Abu Dhabi. I mean come on, they are the personification of the cheating. But it's the same tactic all over again, scare people with lawsuits that the billionaires can afford and others can't.

And I still violently hate Chelsea. Yes it’s better without the old owners but their status now is thanks to years of cheating too and I can’t forget that.

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Oh it’s not about City really, it about any club. The prem will survive without them, they’re not a historic giant. We can survive the same way we survived when Leicester got relegated, or if spurs does. They’re not Liverpool or United (other than Arsenal of course)

I’m already tired of people trying to sound like they’re too cool to want blood with City, and being like “oh we should not expel them” They broke all the rules, on purpose and said fuck you all when confronted. Send them back to non-league football. There’s 0 reason for clemency.

How bad is that cartel to spend a combined over 50 years without winning the league 😂

And red cartel when the 2 biggest cheaters wear blue. And thinking that Pool and Arsenal spent decades without a title 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mate, we've done it before, we'll do it again. If anything, I will enjoy it a lot more without. a club we all know cheated their way to success. The City fans who called Arsenal fans delusional really think they're an historic giant

Even if their contract has been a sham too, like, I don’t know, a free transfer with undisclosed amounts of money to your father and agent … Even if it looks dodgy as possible and they were aware of it, player will be able to blame it all on them.

My childhood hometown club was relegated into oblivion for bankrupt years ago, in the 90s. They’re back in the second division now. And they were the very first champion of Belgium. City needs to be obliterated, cheating to that extend deserves nothing else.

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
In most leagues in Europe the relegation to non-league football would be pretty much inevitable. If only simply because a just punishment and all the legal troubles afterwards should bankrupt the club, with a myriad of Everton-Burnley cases.

It was only a matter of time before it was Arsenal’s fault and by definition Arteta is the vilain. Come on guys we all know that! I think they should go further and say that Arsenal only bought city except players to help them with their FFP.

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
That thing that nobody can compete because only the red clubs who have won it all (or nearly all) protected their business does not hold the spurs example. If spurs can do it, so does everyone else. 14 clubs voted those rules out of 20 at the time. They did not have to cheat to compete.
010
Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I’ll say it again, that thing that it’s impossible to compete if you’re not a certain club is BS. Spurs is one of the richest clubs in the world, without wining. Their management is just great on that side, on the pitch they’re shit but that’s another story.

They can, in fact, take it away.

Yep. And the Everton - Burnley precedent will be at the heart of it. This small case will be the Bosman effect on the city case.

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
While I agree it will impact football and the league for a long time, City is not the Juve. The Old Lady was the embodiment of a part of what Italian football what it is. The equivalent would be if Liverpool was the cheating club. City is Napoli at best. (No offense Napoli)

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Some reports are saying the FL would actually agree on a demotion back to league 2 No idea if it’s true to be honest, but that does sound logical. They will be a hot potato nobody will want to touch, and relegation into oblivion seems to be what a lot of people are asking.

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
It’s Spurs. One of the richest clubs in the world without winning. A huge brand and a commercial success with nothing to show before that Europa league in a watered down version. It’s management, sponsorship, partnership, it’s marketing Sorry guys, but if Spurs can do it, anyone can.
020
Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
You cannot blame clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool for having done the work. For creating iconic brands even when they were not winning. In the end the best example of bulging a global brand, a commercial juggernaut a money making machine without title is not even Arsenal or Liverpool.

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Newcastle is iconic, nobody imagine Shearer in another shirt. They have an extremely dedicated fan base, a history, an identity… and again they let it go to waste and never worked on creating that international brand power. It’s on their management and nowhere else.
110
Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
If often hear about Villa and Newcastle. They both are clubs with trophies and a rich history. Villa have a European title, a clear identity, cultural value but they never exploited it, worked on it to be something special outside of England. Hell there’s a band named after them.
110
Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Arsenal and Liverpool did it and it’s all to their credit. They spend decades without winning the prem but never lost their cultural relevance, and yes that is smart communication and good marketing. Other clubs could have done it but simply did not invest in it for reasons that are their own.

Jimmacfly @jimmacfly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Amazing piece, that does express what a lot of us are feeling. The one part I don’t agree is on the commercial success of clubs contributing to their success should actually not. I can’t agree with that. It’s an integral ou art if being a well run club.

As if that guy doesn’t have a relegation clause in his contract. Yes he might leave to Real or something, but he might stay at Liverpool or Arsenal or United if he wants to take the piss.
