Bang on.

This stupidest point I see in discussion at the moment is "you signed up for the rules so you agreed" Firstly, clubs vote on rules. They can vote no and still play. Second, what's the alternative? Kill your business on principle? There's not an alternative PL you can move to.

🚨🔵Ferran Soriano On Manchester City Financial Breaches.‼️ 🗣️Soriano: "Let us strip away the romanticism for a moment and speak the cold, unvarnished truth about these so-called financial breaches. When we arrived in Manchester, the doors to the VIP room of European football were firmly padlocked from the inside by a self-appointed cartel of legacy clubs." 🗣️"Their definition of 'Financial Fair Play' was never about sustainability; it was a protectionist racket, a bureaucratic moat designed specifically to pull up the drawbridge and ensure no new enterprise could ever disrupt their monopoly on trophies." 🗣️"They call our methods financial doping. I call it aggressive venture capitalism applied to a stagnant, aristocratic market." 🗣️"Did we stretch the fabric of their regulations? Of course we did. You do not build a global entertainment empire by respectfully asking the old guard for permission to sit at their table. You buy the restaurant and you rewrite the menu." 🗣️"The 115 charges leveled against us are not an indictment of our integrity; they are a monument to the establishment's absolute terror. They are the panicked, itemized receipts of a system that realized far too late that we possessed superior imagination, superior lawyers, and an utterly bottomless appetite for systemic supremacy." 🗣️"Do you honestly believe a project of this magnitude, meticulously engineered across multiple continents, is going to be undone by the archaic spreadsheets of a few terrified executives in London? We didn't break the rules of football; we exposed them for the fragile, hypocritical guidelines they always were." 🗣️"We are not apologizing for accelerating the future, nor will we beg forgiveness for outsmarting a regulatory body that was actively weaponized against us." 🗣️"In fifty years, no one will remember the Premier League’s profit and sustainability footnotes. They will only study Manchester City as the definitive, ruthless blueprint of modern sporting dominance. We didn't just play their game better than them. We bought the board, we changed the rules, and we won." 🗣️"Let them cry over the dice."🔥👀

Go on Ferran stick it to the dinosaurs.

Hacking a competitor to gain advantage is corporate fraud.

Some might wonder why I seem okay with Man City escaping punishment. I’m not if I’m honest, I’m as fuming as every other fan. ​But I was fortunate enough to watch Everton lift titles. My kids haven’t, and under current PSR rules, they never will. I want real change, and if dismantling these rules means bringing the league down, so be it. If City getting off forces a fairer system where clubs like Everton can actually compete again, that’s a price I’m willing to pay. 🔵

May 22, 2022. You'll never take away the inspiration, the genius, the brand of football. These Mentality Monsters will live forever.

🚨🎙️ Vincent Kompany on the Manchester City situation: “Honestly, I’m speechless. I don’t even know what to say because, deep down, I never imagined I would see Manchester City in a situation like this. When I was playing for this club, I saw first-hand the work, the sacrifices, the dedication and everything that went into building what Manchester City became. That is why this news is extremely difficult for me to take in. My heart goes out to the fans because I know how much this club means to them. I can only imagine what they are feeling right now. This is not the kind of news any of us expected, and I understand the disappointment, the fear and the uncertainty that many supporters are going through. But please, stay calm. I know that’s easier said than done, but we have to believe that there is still a process to go through. The appeal is there, and I sincerely hope it brings positive news and gives every Manchester City supporter something to smile about again. For now, I think we have to be patient, stay united and wait to hear from the club and its owners. We have been through difficult moments before, and football can change very quickly. So to every City fan feeling hurt right now: don’t lose hope. Let’s wait for the appeal, let’s wait for the final outcome, and let’s continue to stand together. 💙 Keep believing. Keep supporting. Manchester City will always be Manchester City.” 🔵⚪️

Money earned from sponsorship deals between 2009 to 2018: Arsenal £724m Spurs £900m Man City £949.94m Manchester United £1.03B Liverpool £1.1B Chelsea £1.2B So why is Manchester City the only club whose sponsorship finances are under this level of scrutiny? I'm just asking questions 😂

I've had the best time tonight on X. I can safely say no matter the out come of the witch hunt against our fantastic club a majority of City's fans are the most grounded supporters around. Our rival fans really need to collectively get a life. Nite Blues City til we die 🩵

What an amazing club 😍

A memorable derby day win, four years ago today ⏪🩵

The Premier League allowed Arsenal to have a total of £250million in interest free loans from their shareholders.

I stand by this man.

RT @WeAre1894: Sorry Henry but if you are too stupid to see City are playing the long game and would prefer to show evidence in a more secu…

The UAE owners have invested billions into Manchester and have helped transform the local economy, creating thousands of jobs and opportunities for people. The Etihad Campus alone has supported around 14,000 jobs, with the latest £300m+ development expected to create another 2,600 jobs. So if the Premier League thinks it can push Manchester City into a situation where the owners pull back their investment, a lot of people are going to feel it. Workers will lose jobs. Businesses will lose customers. The local economy will lose billions in investment. This isn't just about football anymore. Keep playing with 115 if you want. Just remember that there are real people and real jobs behind that investment.

Good to see I thought Steve was faltering at one point. We need fans like him to lead, they're more influential than they realise. Good on him.

So CAS said it wasn't from owners, but for some reason PL think it is. What evidence do the PL have that CAS didn't?

If other clubs are forced to sell their best players simply to comply with PSR, the more useful question is why the Premier League is not being pressed over a system that limits fresh investment and keeps the competitive order largely closed. Manchester City are not only fighting for themselves but also for the 16 other clubs which lack the inherited revenue and commercial base of the traditional clubs.

Pep Guardiola is considering attending City's next home fixture, club sources have hinted. He has told people at the Etihad he wants to be with his people.
