Do you realise whose memories you stole?
Sunderland, Watford and Stoke fans could’ve been celebrating the first major trophy in their clubs history.
Those 6 points you stole from relegated teams could’ve completely changed the trajectory of where Cardiff, Swansea, Stoke, West Brom, Birmingham, QPR, Bolton and Wigan are today.
And that’s before you even get into the teams who missed out on the UCL/UEL by a couple of points (Leicester fans now have to endure Russell Martin)
Your memories came at the expense of everyone else’s, you’re a disgrace to the sport.
Bernardo Silva awakens a different kind of anger in me. If you breathe on him he goes down for 5 minutes. But when he Muay Thai kicks Ødegaard "it’s football my friend".
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City found guilty on virtually all charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations. #MCFC expected to appeal against verdict issued by independent commission. Sanctions undecided, process ongoing @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/Muxqp4beK9
This is a diplomatic THREAT.
So if City are found guilty, this may affect diplomatic relations between the UAE and Britain? From investment, trade or maybe even security?
Threatening this is an attempt to recruit the British government into influencing an independent football process. And it must be investigated and the government must confirm whether UAE representatives have ever raised this with ministers, officials or diplomats.
This is a slippery slope and we cannot allow state owned clubs to become harder to punish and football sanctions to become diplomatic disputes.
