@MacrodosingPod You can argue the rules were bad. Fine. Change them. But let’s stop with the Robin Hood framing. They weren’t breaking rules to help smaller clubs, the sport, or the league. They were breaking the rules to help Manchester City.
@MacrodosingPod An atrocious take.
Calling this ‘capitalism’ or pretending City are some kind of Robin Hood fighting the establishment completely misses the point.
Plenty of other billionaire owners could have pumped unlimited money into their clubs. They didn’t because they followed the rules
@MacrodosingPod City won’t be punished for being ambitious or spending money. An independent commission found they used sham contracts to disguise owner funding, misstated their accounts and circumvent spending rules—giving themselves spending power their competitors were denied.
@FourSeamBanter@RyanCohen24@RyanCohen24 Isn’t it hilarious that the casuals believe we ‘chose’ to be Padres fans? Who in their right mind would ‘choose’ the decades of pain and suffering we’ve endured. We were born into this and it’s part of our DNA. We are in it for life.
@Senyyo Okay, I believe Laporta. But wait a second…if this was all legitimate work, then why did Barça hide the payments through multiple shell companies?
