They actually think we are gonna pick the league over our owners you man are fucking dense itโs so bait itโs to take us down not a genius needs to know that
Does anyone believe Man City just miraculously stopped cheating in 2018?
If it was ยฃ900m in inflated revenue between 09-2018 I do wonder what the real figures are between 2018-2026.. because there 21/22 revenue does not match the size of the fan base.
I think future investigations are needed. Or just kick the owners out of football so this does not happen again.
Exclusive with @AlexDooler@DNair5
UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man Cityโs punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter
They consider the Premier Leagueโs actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information
The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man Cityโs Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain

The press release from my lawyers Francisco Teixeira da Mota, Luisa Teixeira da Mota, William Bourdon and Vincent Brengarth regarding the outrageous actions taken against me by the Portuguese State on Wednesday:
PRESS RELEASE
Lisbon and Paris, October 2, 2026
End of Rui Pintoโs protection: his lawyers call on Portuguese authorities to reconsider a decision with dire consequences
Rui Pinto, the whistleblower behind "Football Leaks," has been notified on Wednesday that the special security program he has benefited from since August 2020 will end on October 10. In a few days, without being heard beforehand, as required by law, he would lose the protected, confidential residence assigned to him and l be forced to find new housing urgently, with no guarantee that police protection will continue.
His situation is now critical. The threats against him are not merely theoretical; he was assaulted in Lisbon last April. His revelations implicated powerful figures with vast resources, and many resulting legal proceedings are still ongoing, as evidenced by the decision handed down just days ago by the Premier Leagueโs independent commission regarding Manchester City. Abruptly deprived of his protected housing and plunged into a state of extreme precariousness, Rui Pinto would be more vulnerable now than at any time since 2020.
Rui Pinto has cooperated with the Portuguese justice system, and it was this cooperation that justified placing him under protection. His revelations, utilized by numerous judicial, tax, and sports authorities across Europe, starting with France, have advanced transparency and integrity in football. The states that have benefited from his actions cannot simply turn their backs on the person who took the risk to bring them to light.
In accordance with the law, an administrative appeal with suspensive effect will be filed against this decision. Rui Pintoโs lawyers, confident that the Portuguese authorities would give due consideration to his situation, asked, last Wednesday, the ministry of Justice to reconsider this decision, to disclose the details of the risk reassessment upon which it is based, to ensure that their client is heard, and to guarantee, in any event, the continuity of his protection. No answer was received till now.
This decision and the way it was made, regrettably, doesnโt respect the rule of law and constitutes an act of state terrorism. We canโt accept that.

Lawfare latest. Manchester City confirm they have appealed against the independent commission's guilty verdicts on financial breaches. "The Clubโs firm position is that, on multiple grounds, the opinion contains clear material errors, of law, principle and fact and is unsafe. The Club is innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League and a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of its positions, relating to this case."

You do realise Man City is the reason why everything are in the shitter. Imagine where Everton would be if Mancity didnโt come along and still multiple Champions League spots from you.
๐จ๐จ| NEW: UAE officials have ๐๐๐๐๐๐ the UK government that a severe punishment for Manchester City could affect future major investments in Britain. ๐ฆ๐ชโ
According to sources, the UAE views the Premier Leagueโs actions as potentially ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ relations between the two countries.

If Man City donโt get a severe punishment the Premier League is finished btw.
Everyone will know itโs because the UEA threaten the UK and the league will just be known as forever corrupt and likely fall off worse than the Serie A.
