The longer City are allowed to play unpunished the more the PL becomes meaningless. Ridiculous soft yellows changed the game allowing the cheats to take control.

For someone who claims to have no knowledge of cheating by City, Pep Guardiola has spent a lot of his career in close proximity to cheating. Accused of doping at Brescia. Refs paid off during his tenure at Barca. And now the biggest cheating scandal in the history of football at City. Smoke = fire.

This is unequivocal. City are done. An investigation needs to be opened up for the years 2018 to present, there's no way they cheated for a decade and then stopped on their own. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...

I first came across Nick's work in 2014 and had been following it for years as he's been banging the drum not only on City's cheating but on the role of nation states and billionaires in football. Can only imagine the vindication he's feeling these last few days after being hounded by City fans.

Mancini refers to ‘double’ Manchester City contract and says it ‘isn’t my problem’
* Coach alleged to have been paid for advisory work * Mancini says City ‘not guilty’ after Premier League ruling Roberto Mancini appeared to acknowledge he had “a double contract” when he managed Manchester City after the club were found guilty of breaching the Premier League’s financial rules. But Mancini, who in 2011-12 coached City to their first Premier League title in a half century and is now in charge of Italy, also said that what is developing potentially into the biggest scandal in English football history was “not a problem that concerns me”.

My issue with this is that they’re stewing in a cesspool of “race science,” Nazis, persistent degradation of marginalized genders, reactionary politics, and CSAM, and their focus is on not being yelled at for pro-AI views that can be curated via aggressive muting and blocking tools.
The last skeet in a thread from Mike Masnick @masnick.com:

I don't think everyone needs to use Al. I don't think it's good that Al is being shoved everywhere when it's not wanted or asked for.
But I don't find the complete hatred of all Al tools productive or helpful to building a better internet. And others appear to be feeling the same thing.
