"Do you apologise to football fans? The Premier League says 'sham' contracts, is this a 'sham' club?"
@RobHarris questions Man City chief executive Ferran Soriano after the club was found guilty of all charges related to Premier League's financial rules

It's official. The statement released today by the Premier League ultimately confirms, unequivocally, the truth of everything that was revealed through Football Leaks. The Independent Commission is also particularly harsh in the way it characterises the actions taken by Manchester City executives, who, without a shadow of a doubt, acted with complete impunity, challenging everyone and everything. From the very beginning, they have demonstrated a complete lack of respect for the rules, for the bodies responsible for overseeing and regulating the game, for the integrity of the competition, for the other clubs and, above all, for the fans.
Years and years of cheating, lying and manipulation will finally have consequences.
@Mcfc_page26 Others stuck by and were constrained by the rules, you cheated and broke them gaining a significant advantage. This is apparently what you are struggling with.
This always failed the "smell" test. Now in light of the announcement yesterday, the relationship between Michael Oliver, these officials & Abu Dhabi regime needs further scrutiny.

There is nothing worse in sport than being found guilty of cheating.
Lance Armstrong is a great predictor of how the world will come to look at Man City.
No corporate sponsor outside of Abu Dhabi will touch this brand for a decade.
No kid outside of the families of existing fans will wear the shirt.
The light blue shirt and crest will be synonymous with cheating in the same way as the yellow Livestrong wrist band
Game over.
And good riddance.
As I've argued before, the BBC, Sky, ITV & other broadcasters shld
now sue the Premier League and City for return of rights' fees they paid for coverage of competitions covered in years we now know City cheated. Fans who bought tickets in those years should get big refunds.
@ianjaco77613809@MirandaGrell@andyburnham Never claimed I did, however Id imagine you have at least been to Tonbridge or another non league ground? Where football fans are not treated like naughty children and allowed to have a beer and watch people run around and kick a ball.
Danny Tommo was carrying a knife.
That in itself is a crime. He FILMED himself using it. Yet he STILL hasn’t been arrested.
Despite having previous for kidnap at knifepoint.
When the fuck are the police and government going to stop pandering to these scumbags?
