Ex-City Matters rep for Manchester City seasoncard holders, King of the Kippax fanzine writer & podcaster. Scourge of those who peddle untruths about my club.

Here's my theory about what has happened. Ornstein's story about only being cleared of 1 of the 115 was horseshit. What he was probably told, which others have reported, is that we were cleared of 1 of the 5 groups of charges that made up the 115, not one of the 115. /1
We'll see what the official outcome is but if I'm right, the consequences are unlikely to be too serious & City have already said (in the 2025 CFG accounts) that they weren't expecting "a future economic outflow" as a result. No trophies stripped, relegations or points deducted.
Fordham started in 2013 & ended by 2017, and was clearly linked to City at Companies House, so not a secret. UEFA discussed it with us in 2015. The idea was to bring revenue in, in 2013, when we were trying to meet the 1st FFP assessment. Wasn't some premeditated fraud.
