UK Education Secretary and #ManCity fan, Lucy Powell:
“Can I just say to all those United fans who have been gloating all week - you're still crap and you know you are!”
I want every single @ManCity fan to know I am here; more than ever. I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran, the players, staff, Enzo and you, our unique supporters.
Let me be clear: we will get through this together.
I love you all 🩵
None of this is new, and none of it is anything to fear.
A commission tainted by Red Cartel allegiances was always going to find us guilty. We were guilty from the day this whole circus began.
A process that was meant to be confidential has leaked to the press before any official publication. That alone tells you it was never about establishing the facts. It was about breaking this football club.
We appeal. We take it to a forum where evidence, not narrative/opinions, decides the outcome. This is war. Come on Citeh.
#WATCH | Delhi: On video showing Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma slapping a local youth during a road inspection row in Tilak Nagar, Saheb (the victim) says, "I handle all social media activities for the MLA. We came here after the PWD department called us to inspect the condition of this road. I showed him how the road surface was breaking apart. When this was pointed out, the Minister couldn't handle it; he raised his hand against me, and his associates threatened to kill me... The police were present right there, and all of this happened in their presence. He must apologize, and whatever disciplinary action is required—such as suspension—should be taken... We aren't just making claims; there is video evidence of everything. Action must be taken. We have lodged an FIR and will pursue further action."
🚨🇸🇪 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Premier League clubs celebrating Manchester City’s 115 charges:
🗣️ Zlatan: “I don’t blame them for celebrating these charges. (laughs) We are talking about a club that has traumatized almost every other club in this league for years. Pep came to the Premier League hearing everyone say it’s the most difficult league in the world, then he came and farmed the league like it was a Division Two league.
“He exposed them. He dominated them for years. So if they can’t win against Manchester City on the pitch, I understand why they are celebrating what is happening off it.
“But now they talk as if these charges were the reason Manchester City dominated. Like that was the main tactic City came with onto the pitch. Forgetting the beautiful football they played, how they controlled games and how they actually won those trophies.
“You can celebrate the charges, you can talk about them, you can wait for the verdict. But don’t rewrite football history. Manchester City dominated on the pitch. That is why they won all those trophies.”
A letter from #ManCity chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak. ⤵️
I have been part of this Club for 18 years. I have had the privilege to stand with you in the Etihad, at Wembley, and in Istanbul. This Club matters to me, and you have shown and told me – time and time again - how much Manchester City matters to you. This is why I am writing to you today.
Following Friday’s media reporting, many of you will have spent your evening answering questions and responding to messages from friends, family and colleagues. So have I. Here’s what I said to my family: The Premier League process still has a long way to run, and our confidence and intent in proving the Club’s innocence is just as strong as when this began.
There are so many things that I would like to be able to share with you to help you understand why we feel so confident in our position. But the strict confidentiality of the legal process and our determination to respect it means I cannot do that at the moment. Even this letter underwent several legal checks to make sure it complies.
I ask you to please carefully read the statement below, which we gave on Friday, and the statement we issued in February 2023 (also below). Every word matters and holds true.
While some people have been quick to reach their own conclusions, and there is so much noise swirling around us, nothing has changed. We have faced challenges together before and have prevailed. There remain many who want to undermine the momentum of our Club. We will not give them that opportunity.
We have some exciting moments to look forward to after this international break. We travel to Anfield in a fortnight, and then host Paris St Germain in the Champions League back at Etihad Stadium - moments that give us an opportunity to celebrate the strength of the Manchester City family.
Thank you, as always, for your constant support.
Khaldoon Al Mubarak
Chairman
Manchester City Football Club
