Back in the day I, and many other City fans, made it clear that for the #115 charges to be proven then a massive fraud carried over many years, overseen by multiple organisations and companies and headed by the people who run City Football Group would have to have been in place.
The idea that such fraud and false accounting would have happened was simply unimaginable.
It was absolutely crazy to think that accountants, auditors and the boards of many companies would be complicit in such actions still it baffles me and many City fans.
We have, and for now continue, to trust the people who run the Club as all of the above flies in the face of any logic.
There are now investigations into Manchester City by the auditor regulator -

So Manchester City is now perhaps the most invertigated business since Enron?
Fans of other clubs are very annoyed, and I suspect City fans would be if the roles were reversed.
But as a fan base we have nothing to apologise for.
There are so many question marks hovering over the Club, and because of that us fans, that it becomes increasingly difficult to have a reasonable conversation on all of this.
But the people who run the Club tell us that they will beat these charges.
It wont be on a technicality it will be on a point of law.
If they lose on a point of law and their efforts to clear their name and the name of the Club we support fails then I can categorically say that most of the support base will be as shocked and disappointed as any fan or any club.
But what we wont do is apologise for being City fans.
THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
And until the moment of absolute guilt we City fans will lean into the stormy winds and make jokes, take the piss, rile opposition fans and generally make noise about being City fans.
If YOU don't like that then that seems like a YOU problem.
And what if the auditor regulator finds no evidence of illegality?
I go back to the start of this post, I cannot imagine such a massive fraud happening, it does not compute.
If they are guilty, then fuck them.
If they are innocent.......
In the meantime we City fans have one thing on our minds, supporting the players on the pitch.
Jamie Carragher on Liverpool games
Gary Neville on Man Utd games
Alan Smith on Arsenal games
Why do Sky think we want to hear their bias nonsense while watching their unbearable teams play football?
-He CUT OFF the head of a British man.
-He is part of Al Qaeda.
-He is currently walking FREELY around England.
🚨We are witnessing the fall of England in REAL TIME🚨
Hablemos de estos frikis sobrevalorados. Entran haciendo gestos para provocar a lo Green Streer Hooligan, y acaban dejando media grada vacía en el 80 con 2-0 😂 @ManUtd
We’re talking about allegations carrying potentially devastating consequences for one of the world’s biggest football clubs. Yet the public is asked to accept the conclusions of unidentified decision-makers, reached through proceedings conducted behind closed doors, based on evidence that remains concealed.
And we’re supposed to regard this as a triumph of transparency and fairness?
Rather than wait for City—which maintains that the decision is factually and legally incorrect—to complete its appeal, the media and punditry, including former players associated with the Incumbent Four, are demanding immediate and severe punishment.
Many have spent years treating allegations as established facts. Now they treat a decision still subject to appeal as the final word.
This is a complete mockery of due process and fundamental fairness.
Even if City ultimately prevails, it will already have been punished in the court of public opinion. Years of reputational damage, attacks on the legitimacy of its accomplishments, and efforts to discredit the Club cannot simply be undone by a successful appeal.
And consider the broader picture.
A League historically dominated by a handful of established clubs adopts financial regulations that substantially favor those incumbents. Its chief executive, appointed through a process reportedly influenced by some of those same clubs, oversees an investigation into the challenger that broke their dominance. Charges arrive during that challenger’s greatest season. An anonymous commission, constituted under a disciplinary structure connected to the League, ultimately issues a guilty verdict based on evidence the public cannot examine.
Meanwhile, a partisan media and punditry demands that the Club be punished before the appeals process has run its course.
How could anyone reasonably expect City supporters not to question this process?
So, for those wondering why Manchester City supporters are sticking together, defending their Club, and refusing to accept the prevailing narrative, there’s your answer.
We’re entitled to demand transparency. We’re entitled to question whether the process has been fair. And we’re entitled to defend our Club against those who decided long ago what they wanted the outcome to be.
We will not apologize for any of that.
And we certainly won’t play the sad clowns that this deluded circus demands.

Let us have a reminder.
Our Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, wants new routes so the people of Palestine can come over, be given houses, and handed the full monty. Fast-tracked to permanent settlement, no less. Straight to the front of the queue.
Now bear in mind her own lot came first. They took the keys, they took the houses, and they raped our daughters with immunity. Apparently that was not enough for her. Now she wants these people in as well, to come and finish them off.
Here is the evidence. Watch the video.
Two little girls, running for their lives across open ground, as if they are prey. He shoots the first one in the back while she runs. The second freezes, turns round, and begs him not to kill her. He kills her anyway. Without the slightest hesitation. Not a flicker.
That is what they did on the seventh of October.
And now we are inviting them in to do it to us.
Never forget it.
Disgraceful. Absolutely shameful 💔
The Free Palestine movement destroyed wreaths and a tribute to the fallen at the Battle of Britain memorial in London today.
We can’t go on like this.

@38Games0Defeats@sportingintel I chose that side of Manchester, as you say , back in 1976 , it must have been a phone call from the Sheikh, as I didn't have an email address at 7 years old
Imágenes espeluznantes de dos niñas pequeñas corriendo por sus vidas mientras un terrorista palestino las perseguía como a presas.
Disparó a la primera niña en la espalda mientras ella intentaba desesperadamente escapar. La segunda se quedó paralizada, se dio la vuelta y le suplicó que no la matara.
De todos modos, la ejecutó, sin la más mínima vacilación.
Esto es lo que hicieron los palestinistas de Gaza el 7 de octubre.
Nunca lo olvides.
