Good thing City’s owners probably stopped all this in 2018, mind 👀

They were injecting a billion pounds into the club illegally while the Glazers were stealing a billion from us legally.

What about the legitimate commercial deals City struck? Presumably their commercial value was false. Honestly, the depth of this is outrageous.

Can imagine SJR claiming for compensation for the tickets we didn’t buy that were sold to tourists for £250! 😂

I’ve paid lots of money for tickets to Premier League games when a team’s cheating ultimately means the competition was a farce. Can I sue? I’m joking, but where does it stop?

Even after the news from Friday, that statement from the Premier League is incredible. I see City have repeated the thing about irrefutable evidence, but surely that’s already been submitted? It sounds very, very refuted, lads.

Maybe just drop this ‘irrefutable evidence’ showing you’re innocent and this will all speed up quite quickly. Weird they’ve not done this already if it’s just sitting there, irrefutably

People sharing this from Martin Samuel 🙃

Stop pretending international football - especially international football that isn’t a World Cup - matters. Go and kiss a girl

Pathetic, but entirely predictable. They just don’t think the same rules others follow apply to them.

Looking forward to what Mourinho says now

Just checked and I’ve got all the receipts for the hotel and Airbnb stays during our cheating era. I’m coming for you Khaldoon Al Mubarak.

Feel like a lot of it comes from foreign fans too. A lot of the local fans (like me) hate that we’re state owned, and would like us sold if we get the book thrown at us

Stages of grief innit? They're still at the denial/anger stage. But I reckon the actual long term position will be anger at owners as it unfolds and the dust settles.

I've seen more comments doubling down, telling the UAE to spike oil prices etc. Many of them have gone in way too deep.

As was touched on by @iaindowie.bsky.social, the lack of anger towards the City ownership from fans is a little surprising. Maybe it’s because they’re still absorbing it, but the majority of what I’ve seen so far is just banal comments about how ‘nobody can take away the memories’.

Given the reputational damage, the best thing City’s ownership could do now is accept the verdict and deal with what comes next. They won’t. The arrogance shown throughout - the delays, the obstruction, the refusal to cooperate - suggests they probably still believe the rules are for everyone else.

Pleased for Warrington, but why is everyone ok with this?

Have very little sympathy for the current players - they knew there was a chance when they signed, if they didn't put something in the contracts then that's on them (and their agents)

Pep knew, by the way. He knew and he took the glory anyway. Don't let him get away with that.

Clubs might sue. What about players who’ve missed out on titles? What about broadcasters who’ve spent hundreds of millions on tv rights for a product that was corrupt? What about City’s current players? What about their agents? Some mess this.

Louis van Gaal would’ve finished fourth in 2016, won United the league the next season, got pissed and got that woman on the saxophone on the parade bus. This is what they’ve robbed us of. Moments like that.

City now get sued by United for enough for them to wipe the debt, only for the Glazers to bank the money for themselves and refuse to buy a left-back.

This is a huge stain on the integrity of what this competition is. This club has, according to the panel, corrupted the top league in the nation’s most-popular sport for nearly a decade and it took nearly a decade to deal with and it is still not over with appeal almost certain. A real mess

Way, way bigger. It’ll likely prompt UEFA to revisit things

This is why I have sympathy. The actual breaches are one thing, but the openly stringing fans along as if it’s all fine after it. They’ve taken the piss out of the entire fanbase
