@MarescaTeam "What else does the Premier League want??" Accurate financial reporting without 115 counts of alleged fraud would be a great start! Building a nice academy doesn't give you immunity from cooking the books 😭
@Wetlettuce70 Calling it a "Kangaroo Court" and "Cartel" because an independent panel evaluated hard internal banking records instead of taking a sponsor's PR press release at face value is the ultimate victim complex
I guess the Premier League wasn't aware we are Manchester City. Etihad Airways is our biggest sponsor since 2009 and the commission gave their verdict without hearing the sponsor's part of story? Make it make sense.
Come on, #ManCity🩵
@yui_has3gawa Listing politicians and corporate state partners as your defense squad instead of actual financial evidence is the ultimate confession. When you can’t win on compliance, call in the lobbyists!
@CtyFaithfuls And if the tribunal has internal emails proving City's owner funneled cash through Etihad, why do they need an interrogation? You judge the paper trail, not a PR statement
@TimesSport@Lawton_Times Etihad suing the Premier League for calling their sponsorship arrangements improper is like suing someone for reading your own leaked emails back to you.
@xMCFC_B If the tribunal has internal emails proving City's owner funneled cash through Etihad, why do they need an interrogation? You judge the paper trail, not a PR statement
@cityzenken_ Using an appeal process as a two year window to commit €1 billion worth of fresh financial violations is peak supervillain accounting. Mask completely off!
@CtyFaithfuls And if the tribunal has internal emails proving City's owner funneled cash through Etihad, why do they need an interrogation? You judge the paper trail, not a PR statement
@CtyFaithfuls Premier League rules apply to member clubs, not foreign corporate sponsors. Expecting an independent tribunal to "interrogate" Etihad like a police suspect when they don't even fall under PL jurisdiction is pure legal fiction.
@Mike_RMCF "Rules are rules, except when a whistleblower exposes multi-million pound financial fraud, then we suddenly care about email privacy".
You're more offended by the guy who found the receipts than the club that cooked the books!
@mancityfever2 Bro is literally screenshotting a verdict that explicitly confirms the existence of a "Disguised Funding Scheme" and thinks he found a win because the Sheikh got plausible deniability 😭 You proved the fraud yourself!
@DxBruyne17 Why would a Premier League internal investigation interview an outside corporate sponsor when the allegation is about Man City submitting fraudulent accounts to the league?
@Tijjani8222 The Premier League is a multi-billion pound league funded by 20 member clubs, but bro is convinced they're going broke because Etihad and an entire sovereign nation are filing lawsuits, absolute cinema!
@Citizzy Comparing organic revenue from massive worldwide fanbases to state subsidized "sponsorships" signed with companies that don't even have working websites is wild.
Ah yes, the totally innocent, self-sustaining global superclub that needed secret backchannel meetings with UEFA executives just to dodge FFP fines 💀 "Today I feel like corrupt accounting."
🚨BREAKING: FIFA’s Gianni Infantino allegedly met with Manchester City and PSG bosses for SECRET TALKS on several occasions during his time at UEFA
He also allegedly supplied them with confidential materials.
