@gregjenner.bsky.social Greg, history shows, books, textbooks give us dates like 14 October 1066. Knowing England didn't adopt the You-orian calendar until the 18th century, what would've the combatants at Hastings thought the date to be? Would they have even been using dates?

I want City punished to whatever the hilt is. Smash 'em. But, and I'm sorry, the word "guilty" does not appear in the independent commission's redacted report once. Not once. Lawyer up y'all. The City (state) ownership will use ANYTHING. Obviously, they have never been told no.

I don't know about you all (yens, you guys, y'all), but I am utterly sick of the rich and powerful. It's gone too far. Time to revolt, peacefully, of course.

Thought experiment: What if the US was sanctioned ala Russia? What would happen to English football if all Americans were forced to sell up like Roman?

Now, I'm not claiming credit for City's guilty verdict (it's not an opinion mate) coming out when it did BUT, I did send in this article the morning @david-ornstein.bsky.social broke the City verdict news. It had to then be edited before publication hoorah! www.wearebrighton.com/newsopinion/...

As I understand it, the same 3 pers. independent commission will dole out sanctions. A) Could they have already decided these sanctions, awaiting appeal? B) The new 3 pers. independent commission for the appeal could've already reviewed procedural efficacy of the initial findings commission?

The cult of Man City fans STILL defending their owners (not their club, that's ok), but defending the board/execs/owners are equal to MAGAs still defending Tr*mp.

Used the word "yens" for the plural you in a chat today on a British YT discussion. I was immediately called on it. Now, I'm not from Pennsylvania but have spent some time there. I prefer "yens" to y'all, you all, or you guys. Did you know that "you" was the plural object until the 1700s?

Here's what a combined PL clubs' statement should say: We 19 clubs in good standing in the English Premier League, unanimously agree and declare that; our clubs will not participate in matches against Manchester City FC until such a time as MC FC is under new ownership and new executive leadership

@philippeauclair.bsky.social thank you for your journalism (and for often acknowledging my comments 🤗). Question: Could (should?) PL clubs simply refuse to play City until this mess is all finalized? They are going to drag this out for years presumably. This would perhaps force the IFR to step in...

What if all PL clubs just agreed they wouldn't play a match against #ManCity for the remainder of the season? Sort of like what nations did when UEFA waffled on Russia. Each club gets two 3-0 losses? "We're all in this together" kinda thing. Let them "win" the league, then send them to wherever.

*Rui Pinto (the hacker who broke Football Leaks) has now lost his Portuguese state protection. *UK PM "is concerned" that Abu Dhabi will no longer own Man City. *Etihad Airways has "threatened" the PL with a lawsuit. The squeeze is on. The IFR should suspend their license to operate immediately.

I was looking forward to facing #ShamCity twice, away, in a three day stretch in the League Cup and PL. Not here to complain about our (legitimate) successes. Now however, I'm wondering if clubs should just refuse to play them ala nations refusing to play Russia. Could 19 clubs agree on this?

Some Rando in Mexico @somerandoinmexico.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Hello Independent Football Regulator, it is time. Manchester City's owners (Abu Dhabi) are going to do everything in their considerable powers to destroy English football. Suspend their license pending appeal, sanctions, and that appeal.

000

Some Rando in Mexico @somerandoinmexico.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

And here comes the pressure (already expressed softly by the UK PM Andy Burnham): Etihad Airways threatens to sue the Premier League... Uhm, while that is significant pressure, the PL didn't find them guilty. An independent commission did. So I think the PL should tell them to suck it.

Some Rando in Mexico @somerandoinmexico.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Can the appeal by Man City simply be rejected? Does it have to go 12 weeks? Could the independent commission state, "You have not provided sufficient cause for an appeal."? @tariqpanja.bsky.social @robharrisreports.bsky.social @martynziegler.bsky.social @liberopodcast.com

The UK PM has been compromised by Abu Dhabi. The Premier League may be unwatchable until a decision (a just one) is reached. The UAE has basically decided to burn down English football since they've been caught cheating. "Let us off or else" seems to be their approach.

#ShamCity cannot play another match in the Premier League, the Carabao Cup nor the FA Cup this season. Suspend their license to operate until all appeals/law suits/settlements are finalized. Yes, it's that serious.
