جول كول :"مانشستر سيتي كان مضطراً لاستثمار مبالغ ضخمة ليتمكن من منافسة العمالقة الراسخين في كرة القدم الإنجليزية ، ويجب مراجعة اللوائح المالية لأن النظام يجب أن يمنح الأندية الأخرى فرصة حقيقية للنمو ومنافسة أندية النخبة والمنافسة على الألقاب، بدلاً من تكريس هيمنة نفس المجموعة المحدودة من الفرق ".

Simon Jordan on his views on Man City
"I have spoken relentlessly and I have been abused by Man City fans repeatedly because I dare to talk about it [115 charges] but now I'm pragmatic about my thinking and I think what Man City are doing will bring a whole lot of change in British football and the premier league will look at itself and it's rule as UTTER-BULLSHIT and anti-competitive"
Most club fans just want a fair Premier League where clubs are not forced to constantly sell their best players and home grown academy players on the cheap to a small group of certain other clubs
🚨 | #ManCity sources say the club submitted a tranche of documents showing Abu Dhabi sponsors applied to the Abu Dhabi Government for funding to meet sponsorship obligations.
The documents reportedly include applications for funding and material provided by both sponsors and the Abu Dhabi Government - believed to form part of City’s “irrefutable evidence”.
[via The Athletic]
🔵 CAS said Etihad & Etisalat met their sponsorship obligations in full and payments weren’t funded by ADUG.
Now the Premier League Commission has reached a different factual conclusion. 👀⚖️
So what evidence changed the picture?
🚨 Gary Neville On FFP [2023]
"It was pushed through by the ESTABLISHED ELITE" 👀
"They didn't like the idea of a #ManCity or Chelsea being able to pump money into their clubs to come up to THEIR LEVEL" 🤔
"The whole FFP thing needs challenging!"
Gary Neville - HYPOCRITE 😡
On Wednesday, just hours after the verdict officially confirming Manchester City’s guilt, the Commission responsible for Portugal's witness protection programme informed me of its decision to terminate my participation in the programme and withdraw my police protection, thereby knowingly placing me in a life-threatening situation.
Given these circumstances, I have no alternative but to relocate, within the next few days, to an undisclosed location for an indefinite period of time, due to the multiple death threats I have received and the serious risk of an assassination attempt against me.
For this reason, I have just set up a GoFundMe campaign and I am asking for everyone's support to help me survive this serious situation created by the Portuguese State, which, as I have already stated, has knowingly decided to place my life at risk.
I would like to take this opportunity to extend a special thanks to everyone who continues to support Football Leaks, and I can give everyone one guarantee: the fight will most certainly continue!

⚖️INSIDE MANCHESTER CITY'S APPEAL
💸Club to argue Abu Dhabi government - rather than owners - behind sponsorship deal top-ups
🧮'Irrefutable evidence' is bank statements showing transfers from govt to sponsors
💻Hacked emails were 'false assumptions' rather than a concoction
🗣️Use of 'sham' and time taken also thought to form part of defence

This is absolutely key for me personally when looking into this matter. And is why I think the club continues to say it’s innocent. I’ve had to explain over and over again to far to many people what burden of proof means. So here’s the difference for the uneducated
@AlexisIsKavkas The Commission found them guilty. City completely reject that verdict, claim there are material errors of law, fact and principle, and are appealing.
They’ve lost the first major battle. The final outcome isn’t settled.
