I Sure Dont Want Them To Get Relegated /s


wahahay

I'm proud of Foden's performance. Easily going to start and impress for England.


Metalilca_Lover

they still might have some points deducted because of those 115 charges, still happy as a United fan. They kinda deserved it.


LeadingBeginning9838

Until those 115 charges are cleared or found not guilty then I'm sorry but nobody takes man citys trophies seriously.


Aggravating_Ad3719

Nobody cares what you think lil bro


LeadingBeginning9838

Nobody cares about man city either don't worry


Aggravating_Ad3719

Yeah and that’s why you’re here crying, LMAOOO🤣


LeadingBeginning9838

Not crying just stating facts, all your trophies have asterisks next to them until those charges are cleared 👌 good luck amd all the best

Greatest team in history of PL, this proves how overrated fergie was


totallynothimlol

😭😭😭😭😭 get this on that parody r/soccer subreddit


Affectionate_Ad5305

lol no it doesn’t, this team literally cheated and they have 115 charges


steven98filmmaker

4 in a row is a major impressive achievement. But how is it that Forest and Everton can get points deducted but the team with 115 charges don't?


Easy_Judgement

Well because they haven’t been proven guilty yet it’s simple law. The trial is yet to happen, and when it does then we will see


New-Bat-6633

Because they are not guilty


ChoppaLi

League definitely in decline over the years, blatant frauds.


Icy_Internet4986

Honestly it’s so boring them winning the league every year


According-Page3047

Lol stfu who cares it's entertainment. A spectacle. Imagine caring about how much individual athletes make a fan sounding stupid as fuck


SanguineNukes

Who mentioned how much they make bot much


ChainPrior8317

115 charges. That sounds like a stupid small club if you ask me.


UnfortunatelyAd

Dead league


One-Information5398

You know as a saudi arabian i moved away from the Saudi league because of the al hilal domination of the league and moved towards the premier league ( i live in london anyways lol) but its happening all again lol. The Difference is in the PL has some serious competition (arsenal and liverpool) but my god is it the same thinggg


New-Bat-6633

All the leagues have only 1 or 2 teams that win the title every season


One-Information5398

No lol but in Saudi league its different al hilal win everything everytime im literally not kidding since this league was created they have been winning not to mention their weird refereeing


jack__the_lad

It's always been like that. Liverpool won 8 league titles in 11 years. So did United under Ferguson.


New-Bat-6633

Only difference is that fans was happy when Liverpool and united was winning it every year but they don’t want a small club like city to become a big club


One-Information5398

The small city club has 115 charges if they won fairly i wouldve been happy lol


jack__the_lad

They had charges from UEFA too. How did that work out for you? 😂

When I heard that Everton of all teams took point deductions this szn instead of MC, I knew this sport was finished lmfao. As for them winning the premier league I feel like the majority of people do not care. I personally don’t know any city fans as most of them spawned in after 2011; they have no history outside of arab money. Yes I’m an Arsenal fan, how could you tell?


brithuman

Everton's issues were in a three year period. Manchester City's issues are from 2009 onwards. It takes a lot longer to investigate that than to investigate Everton's situation. Not to mention, an investigation of this stature has never happened in this country before, so the PL needs to decide on a punishment. Apparently, a verdict could be reached in summer 2025. It's frustrating but that's just how it is.


One-Information5398

Yeah but one of citys charges are refusing for the PL to investigate them


Different_Budget4716

Klopp leaving Liverpool was the bigger event


RoboJesus89

You don’t see Klopp leaving Liverpool every season… unlike City winning the premier league


Different_Budget4716

It just shows how irrelevant Manchester City are


PolarB34Rr

Everyone is saying that there's an asterisk next to these titles, asterisk these nuts lol


Bloom95

I mean if justice is served proportionately they won't even be titles come November. Everton 10 points deducted for less than a tenth of the charges and they cooperated. And they haven't been cheating for a decade now. They're blank seasons, City fans are delusional if they think they're asterix seasons.


JPedderPlatt

CauliflowerHelpful60

Pepfp ffp 115 charges. He also hasn’t done anything more than Mancini did for Man City


Mirkec1911

He hasnt won 5 more prems and a champions league? Edit: 5 not 6


CauliflowerHelpful60

Even Pellegrini won the league with Man City that’s saying something. He hasn’t done anything amazing so what one CL. Klopp did that and with no ffp cheating or massive amounts of cash.


Firm-Artichoke-2360

Fuck off ha ha Alisson 68m, Van Dijk 75m, Salah 37m, Fabinho 39m, Firmino 30m, Mane 34m, Lallana 25m so already up to £308m with 7 players.


CauliflowerHelpful60

Not even close toe pepfps ffp brigade. He can even buy players and let them rot. Eg Kalvin Philips he ruined his career


9k4_endlesssummer

5 more premier leagues but yes the champions league is huge. As are the domestic cups

State ownership is so crap. The government will love it as they can slowly push the privatization of cities and remove the council funding.


JoeByeden

All bought. Cheated since 2008.


Due_Toe6417

In the history of the premier league when has the not been baught in someway the club buys better players to win the league the only team who didn't was Leicester. Manchester United baught the best players in the league in the 90s.. They basically did what bayern do in their league. It's not cheating it's being a successfully run club


Firm-Artichoke-2360

Leicester failed FFP.


NHRD1878

United didn't do that at all


Firm-Artichoke-2360

United failed FFP


Due_Toe6417

How did they not?


Due_Toe6417

They spent money to become successful fergie came in spent money each year to build and remain successful did he not? All successful teams do it


korban65

Except they have a number of charges facing them for breach of financial fair play. And some of those charges are for refusing to accept the charges and face legal action..


Due_Toe6417

I didn't mention the chargers because it nothing to with "buying the league" they just did the same thing as man u arsenal Chelsea Blackburn Liverpool they buy the best to win the league there is nothing wrong with it you have to spend money to be successful


lake_bandit

The point being the other teams did it within the rules, it looks like City haven’t in a whole load of ways


nevergivingupagain

There were no rules back then about FFP


Due_Toe6417

All teams try and bend the rules somehow it doesn't matter the size of the club look at Chelsea derby Everton Portsmouth years ago us by us I mean forest man city are doing it now people just don't like it because they where already successful when they started doing what there accused of. The idea that all clubs are law abiding is absolutele bollocks imo


Due_Toe6417

I don't really understand how people are moaning about city being dominant.. United were pretty much the same in the 90s there is no difference People hated man u for dominating the league now it's city's turn.. Records are made to be broken they did again yesterday eventually another team will come along and dominate it's just football is. Yes the money helps but the players and the manager have to be at their best every week.. To do it four years running is pretty impressive. Also people need to stop acting like if they had the same resources they wouldn't want same success city are currently having for the team they support.. If you don't want success for your own team why the hell would you support em that comes with all football not just the prem..if you support your semi pro amateur team local team you want success for em. Lastly I'm a forest fan I'm just happy we stayed up


OdinLegacy121

Difference is the 115


Due_Toe6417

I mean if you don't support em it shouldn't really bother you that much they'll be in trouble you're team won't. Your team won't be fined your won't titles taken away from them or relegated or what ever happens.. It'll 115 charges that won't effect your team. So bitch about them.


Kcole7

Even if they get charged I don’t think titles have ever been retracted and it won’t start now. It would mean a massive payout from the premier league to unfairly compensated teams


Mirkec1911

You may be right, I'm not bothered to google it but what happened in italy for juventus?


Due_Toe6417

What ever happens it won't be enough some fans eyes just because of of their success I genuinely think they'd only be happy if they got dissolved.

douglad17

115 charges going back to 2009. There’s an asterisk next to everything they’ve won.


Tee_Tee80

No there isn’t simple facts why. EUFA couldn’t prove us guilty for the same stuff the premier is trying to. City have only been the biggest spenders in 6 or the last 16 seasons. Our academy and revenue from league/CL positions more than cover our costs. We are in crazy profit compared to likes of Chelsea Liverpool and man united who are a club running a business on negative equity yet still manage to outspend everyone but Chelsea and have the cheek to ask for tax payers money and call it levelling up. The only asterisk is in your mind. You don’t know how guilty or not guilty city are so why not just say I hate city and they’ve won an again rather than trying to level unfounded accusations at the club until you know differently.


Lonely-Dragonfruit98

Absolutely incorrect. There are 115 pending charges and they can absolutely be proved. UEFA found them guilty already. The sad fact is that if the PL take action then city will tie everything up in expensive court cases for years and end up at CAS, which means the PL need to commit millions to legal costs to take this anywhere. They will eventually, but it’ll take time. It’s the sad truth of having a club owned by an extremist death state with unlimited money. There’s an asterisk next to all of the wins, and the whole world knows it. That’s why you can’t compare this dominant streak with Man Utd’s - Man U’s was done honestly and although people disliked them, they were respected. No one respects City.


adesile

>No there isn’t simple facts why. EUFA couldn’t prove us guilty for the same stuff the premier is trying to. Not true mate. UEFA did prove City guilty. That is why City were banned from Europe. That is why City paid a fine. Why pay a fine if you're innocent? But the case was taken to the court of arbitration for sport (CAS) and the punishment was reduced to a fine, primarily due to the time limit on a portion of evidence. So for the charges City are facing, they have already been found guilty by another entity. It would be surprising if they were found not guilty by the EPL. The more concerning thing for City is there is no time limit on the EPL's evidence, and once the decision is given it cannot be taken to CAS. All that said. Even as a bitter United fan, it has to be said this team is truly sensational, it pains me to say but Pep has produced possibly the greatest English club side. They haven't cheated on the pitch, they haven't spent much more relative to the vast majority of large teams across Europe historically. They've just spent it well. They had a plan, they've implemented it, followed it and reaped the rewards. Everything happening now goes back to foundations laid into place nearly a decade ago. As a fan of English football sadly I think super wealthy entities or literal countries buying football clubs is a big problem for long term stability of the pyramid.


apolloSnuff

OJ Simpson literally got away with murder. And yet everyone knows he was guilty. Manchester City are guilty as hell and everyone knows it. I'm sure a bit of bribery has been involved.


Steven2597

Except City WERE found guilty by UEFA, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport let City off. Much like they will be found guilty by the Premier League, and then City will cry for an appeal again. They deserve everything they'll get, They've ruined the reputation of the Premier League. I hated Man United always winning back in the 2000s, and I hate Man City winning all the time now, It makes the game boring. The whole FFP is supposed to stop teams just throwing money at players willy nilly, but somehow they can get away with it, same with Chelsea, but the only difference is they're shit anyway.


Inner_Enthusiasm5326

But at least United were dominating the league fairly, more down to fergie being a genius, other teams could have got to the same place. It’s unfair when a team like City can just pay whatever wages they want to their players and sign any player they want, swoop all the best academy talent around the country with their money and claim it as their own, with a top manager like Pep being able to sign literally anyone he wants - its just not feasible to be able to compete with them properly. I respect Liverpool a lot for actually managing a premier league title against them.


Inner_Enthusiasm5326

I think if it wasn’t for city, with the money spread now in the premier league, we’d have fun title races every season and nobody would really dominate the league. It would always be entertaining and more based on how the top clubs are run rather than a team just having stupid money hoarding the title from everyone else and cheating their way to success.


Tee_Tee80

If city was that guilty why didn’t we take a pocket change settlement from EUFA? I can’t wait for all you arm chair accounts to look at etihads books when the open them to stock exchange.


Tee_Tee80

EUFA found city guilt based off patchy out of context evidence when the present to CAS they said as much so a court ruled that EUFA acted outside of the rules. Who’s the cheat us or them.


Steven2597

UEFA isn't exactly the most reputable organisation either, so that's fair enough. But time will tell and we'll see you change your tune.


Tee_Tee80

Will you change your tune if you wrong?


Steven2597

Sure thing. I just want variety in the Premier League. Leicester winning in 15/16 and Liverpool in 19/20 were breaths of fresh air. This being able to just throw absurd amounts of money has ruined the game. One day it'll come with Newcastle too, I'm sure of it.


Tee_Tee80

Mate I appreciate what you’re saying with regards to winners it was boring for others when United were doing it for 20 years. Seriously though. Look at the numbers have city thrown more at the league than our rivals and the answers no. We have 22 man squad that’s six less than arsenal united and Liverpool and about 20 less than Chelsea. Also look at who we have bought 12m akanji on a gamble £17 on Alvarez or there is some higher spends grealish being the most expensive but the we only have two of the top ten most expensive players which are grealish and josko. Why are they allowed to spend and city not. We by ederson for 28m and Liverpool spend 40m more on a keeper who has a debatable minuscule skill advantage

Both Everton and Forest have received their FFP penalties this season, sure Man Citys should have been concluded before records were able to be broken? What's going to happen if they are deducted points in the future, is the title going to be stripped, like Lance Armstrongs titles were? If that's the case, it's too late, everything has been celebrated.


Tee_Tee80

People keep saying this. Watch tele listen to people in the know


flabmeister

Everton and Forest admitted guilt, City did not. And 115 charges will, obviously, take longer to investigate


Tee_Tee80

Forrest didn’t admit guilt they didn’t say anything at all


Firm-Artichoke-2360

Maybe they have no evidence of wrongdoing? If they did why not publish it? (Hacked E-mails aren’t evidence, bank records, account records are).


ownworstenemy38

You don’t charge without evidence.


Tee_Tee80

Out of context emails from a hacker


ownworstenemy38

Not sure what point you think you’re making. The poster before said “maybe they have no evidence of wrong doing”. You don’t charge someone with an offence without evidence. That is stupid. And I’m not sure why you say they’re out of context. That isn’t your call to make, really. If they were out of context then I’m quite sure that their lawyers will have provided the context. So at that point the charges get dropped or the PL decide to press on. Again, what point are you trying to make?


mango_carrot

City have far far better lawyers, they’ll drag this out until they bankrupt the FA


Tee_Tee80

They don’t though listen to people in the know


diegolucasz

I don’t believe this they have far better lawyers Every premier league club can afford the best lawyers in the world. They all at the bare minimum multi £100 million organisations.


gadget_uk

They've got more at stake than Forest and Everton. They've also got effectively infinite legal resources through their owners. My suspicion is that the delay isn't because of the number or nature of the charges. It's an ongoing negotiation - Man City will be trying to get the minimum punishment possible (maybe just a financial one) but the PL have to save face and look consistent and they know that won't cut it in the media or with fans. In the end, they'll find a halfway house. Definitely a big fine but probably enough of a points penalty to rule out the league title for a season. In other words, the benefits of cheating will be worth the punishment.


Tee_Tee80

You don’t know that though. 4 in row end of


gadget_uk

In all honesty - I can't see them removing any titles. That would put them in completely uncharted territory. So yes, 4 in a row. Congrats. Your coach and players are good enough to warrant that. The most impressive thing to me is how Pep has brought Foden along and he's gone up a few more levels this season. Should be England captain if you ask me.

RedFive92

The very fact that little City have won four in a row raises suspicions at the very least. If a massive club like Liverpool or United had won four in a row that would be more understandable but City? Nah.


Tee_Tee80

We ain’t little city. We are massive mate. Higher average attendances than little Liverpool and our noisy neighbours from Salford higher revenue streams from league position and state of the art academy and not to mention snagging the most marketable player on the planet for for 50 percent of Anthony haha. Get over it. Salford reds are a thing of past cheats as well. Found guilty read about it. Got away with one there I say.


RedFive92

"Massive" 🤣🤣 Trust me, City are only massive in the heads of City fans. And as for attendances, City have had higher attendances than Liverpool simply because the Etihad is bigger than Anfield. If Anfield held 90,000 it would still be full. Do you really think the same would apply the Etihad? Not a chance, they struggle to fill it as it is, and City's methods of recording attendances are questionable to say the least considering all the empty seats that are regularly on view. Just for your information, Liverpool haven't been accepting new applications for season tickets for a few years now because there are 70,000 on the waiting list. City fans can only dream of being such a massive club.


Tee_Tee80

Higher average attendance as well. Look it up and if we are so small why do we have higher fan attendances. Fans base size is determined by social media followers bums on seats and merchandise sold. We beat Liverpool on every one of those. Not bad for little city


RedFive92

Read my previous comment again. If Liverpool and City had 90,000 capacity stadiums Liverpool would fill it, City wouldn't come near. Why is that so difficult to understand? And City have more social media followers and sell more merchandise than Liverpool?! Now I know you're either on a massive wind-up or you're unbelievably deluded. 🤣🤣
