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: 611039441
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ferran Soriano’s statement I’ve just seen. Jesus. A mammoth decision reached after a hearing taking place over weeks, after consideration of seemingly millions of documents / 000s pages of witness evidence. But he just lazily labels it a ‘PL conspiracy’. Pathetic. 041

rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Maybe overthinking it here but with Pep leaving what seemed kind of suddenly and City’s transfer business this summer. Feels like they knew this was coming - Pep not wanting to be manager when the headlines hit and transfer activity with a whiff of looking to mitigate potential transfer bans. 120

The club was charged more than 3 years ago. In that time, the team has continued unmolested, recruiting at incredible fees, winning at great frequency. The PL still can’t comment. 431278

rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 25/09/2026With the news about the charges, it does make me laugh how City really have become a much worse version of everything they used to mock United for. I don’t blame them for enjoying the football of course, but still. You’d never get OT draping a banner celebrating a lawyer. Massive. 010

rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 21/09/2026As poor as United were yesterday there’s some bizarre write ups about it how United were really lucky to get a point because Cunha’s goal was a defection. Fulham’s was a clean strike wasn’t it! It was a shite game between two shite teams who scored a really shite goal each. It was a fair result. 280
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Another game where United just don’t look fit enough. Yet again getting the bad feeling the coaching staff have totally fucked up pre season re lack of conditioning. Have they ‘overthought’ it with it being WC summer or something? It’s mad. 111

Wtf have they actually been doing? 😬 140
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Going out of the league cup in itself is neither here nor there. But, as with last season, *the way* in which you go out can be a big deal if it’s particularly bad.. this is terrible. 020

rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Struggling to be optimistic today tbh. I don’t think United have been as bad as results suggest, but can’t help but think City are going to pick apart the defensive frailties. Could be high scoring, but City are just more clinical than us. 2-4 or something daft I reckon. 010
