I'm wondering how many City fans think Man City will overturn the verdict of the panel. City groups on Facebook seem to have a massively misplaced sense of optimism. Personally I think City are finished as title challengers and it will take years for the club to come back from this.

Nitro dry hopped pale from Ossett Brewery. Very tasty but maybe I should have checked the video pour guide first, it's a bit lifeless.

This is good. These guys always make a lot of good points. It's long but definitely worth a watch especially for my fellow #ManCity fans. TL;DR - City are fucked.

I dunno, we've all been there. I'm sure had £830m lying around but I can't find it now.

If City only got £11m in genuine sponsorship payments in 2017/18 wtf were their commercial dept doing? Shirt sponsorship alone should have been worth £40m+.

So I saw the clickbait headline and thought what has she called her daughter, it must be a really terrible made up name. Olivia 🤷‍♂️

Every single Blue needs to join the Trust ASAP to get involved in the conversations that will happen next. This is about us and our club, we all need to be involved 👍

Dumb question about CIty but regarding the £830m of sham sponsorship payments, was that actual money paid to and spent by the club? Or just some accounting trick to make us look richer than we actually were?

City are fucked obviously but it still baffles me how owners who put almost £1bn into a club are vilified yet owners who take almost £1bn out of a club are absolutely fine.

In May 98 I watched City beat Stoke 5-2 at the Britannia Stadium but still get relegated to the third tier. I felt fucking devastated afterwards. I feel 10x worse now.

Too many City fans have their heads in the sand over this. City are fucked and the owners have royally taken the piss out of the supporters, the Premier League and the rest of football in general.

I don't have an issue with scrapping the Triple Lock. Make it a double lock linked to inflation or 2.5%. Why do pensions need to be linked to earnings anyway?
