Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

Strange post indeed, almost of a subservience to what it's like in the void of human rights country of the UAE.

I'm sure you'll be happy once City pass nine league titles bumping Everton down a notch on the league winners honours list, but yeah all because their owners invest in a football club and City not your own in a sports washing manner, you'll defend them even though they manipulate football governance, will you be happy when they buy English hero Harry Kane by way of a state wired money to their bank accounts to plunder more trophies, and blocking Everton getting a chance of CL football or a Carabao cup?

Question, if Abu Dhabi hadn't bought Man City, do you think CL football would have been at Goodison with maybe 1 or two domestic cups as well in the trophy cabinet, maybe even a title challenge?

Baffles the mind how blues on here defend that sports washing club who wily nily arrogantly do not care about football governance, fair play and think they can brush it all under the carpet because they can get the best lawyers and use dirty tactics to get away with it by a technicality and then claim they were found innocent of all charges.
Hi mate,

I'm curious as to why you've not been so keen to flag stories about LFC's multiple wrongdoings in recent years.

You seem a right minded and tuned in sort of fella, so the witchunt thread would really benefit from your commentary and analysis on matters such as furloughing staff, compulsory purchase schemes, exploiting customers, the Heysel legacy and so forth.

I'm sure you'll agree that City are an irrelevance in the grand scheme and the real big players are LFC.

This is the news story now of complicit cheating of a football club by way of state intervention used to cover illegality for the pursuit of sports washing to deflect from a country with some of the worst human rights abusers in the world,where honour killing crimes is worth one month in jail, where women are treated on par with animals, where homosexuals are jailed, where a country still has a form of slavery being used.

This is the cheating Man City thread mate.

I didn't ask that. I asked why you don't apply your clear intellectual prowress and sense of moral compass elsewhere too. The world needs more of your sort. The historic crimes of big red need addressing too. You've the tools to do it.

What has human rights got to do with it. Yes they are a disgrace but our 'supposed' owner is a friend of Putin, the Kronke's pay awful wages to their staff in America forcing them to work longer hours or more jobs. Abramovic is another dodgy guy. Football is a shady corrupt empire and all billionaire owners will be guilty of some sort of human right violations.

My point was that the elite clubs such as Real, Barca, Utd etc want to close up shop and dont want any newcomers threatening them. Even Abramovic wants to pull up the drawbridge now as they are at the too. So they make rules saying you cant spend x amount unless ypu make it through revenue. Who does that benefit? The same global clubs who in turn are able to sweep up all the top players as they choose...then rinse and repeat.

To me its better to have someone invest in a club and city than to have owners who are using the club as collateral on massive loans and load hundreds of millions of pounds of debt onto it.

Meanwhile the penalty for rape in this country is now less than defacing a statue

Protests are illegal

A plan is in place to prosecute journalists who report on goverment crimes

We are deporting people of 50/60 who have lived here since childhood.

I can go on. This country is just as guilty as any over human rights abuses, thats without even mentioning selling arms to Saudi/Isreal etc and participating in illegal wars so wind it in

I guess it’s not necessarily about comparing nation-states and moral equivalence; it’s more the fact that a nation-state owns a football club, in the hope, to wash themselves clean.

If the UK owned a club then I guess they’d be part of the conversation. The fact a state can own a club is pretty wild, on balance.

The rules are also to protect smaller clubs from spending more than they earn.

It’s supposed to provide regulation to avoid more Burys being buried.

City working really hard to keep their financial affairs secret is hardly some act of brave valiance in the face of a belligerent old guard intent on keeping them outside of the tent. That’s a particularly narrow interpretation of this.

This story deserves exposure as it ultimately protects all other clubs.

But the league are happy with Wigan's owners buying the club to put it into administration so they got relegated. Im not defending City but there are many worse situations gone on at clubs that dont cause the attention and uproar this has.

The Wigan situation was awful. While technically under a different governing body, Wigan’s owners should be banned.

Not sure there are worse owners in England in terms of the scale of the deceit, obstruction of evidence and apparent rule flouting.

Yes but its still English football. The whole setup and rules are rotten. There are no proper tests for new owners, the big boys dont want anyone new in the club. Every club including ours uses dirty tactics to poach young kids from other clubs. Then there are the shady agent deals.

You have Real Madrid being bailed out by the spanish banks, 3rd party ownership of players and the Benfica owner being arrested for money laundering and tax fraud.

Football as a whole is a dirty business yet you would think this was the worst thing thats happened.

He's a kopite mate. Pure & simple. 100%.
Totally obsessed with City. 99% of all his
posts are anti-City. Very strange behaviour
for an Everton fan...
