being retroactively awarded titles is like scoring a goal and having VAR check it for 20 years. Yeah, in the end you’ve scored it but you’re old and grey now and can’t even remember it all that well.
This will drag out. There is an appeals process, which, if you have money, could be a long road.
My advice is the governing bodies make it known that all delays of justice, past, present, and future, will be factored into the punishment.
I feel sorry for City fans that supported them when they were a yo-yo team from first division to second, who’ve had their hearts ripped out.
If the governing body is pressured by our government to take it easy on City then that’ll be even worse than what has already gone on and proof that nothing even looking like state sponsorship can be allowed to happen. Of course, if that pressure comes down, they won’t force City owners to sell.
I think the larger problem is the FFP rules. You should be allowed to spend whatever you want. Not being allowed to do so was implemented to supposedly protect the football club, but that’s just morphed into what we are seeing now at City. Someone mentioned that there is dirt on other teams. Of that I have no doubt. Not likely our owners but only because they are tight cunts who won’t do whatever it takes to make us a great club. The spending rules need to be done away with entirely.
Last thing on my mind regarding any potential united takeovers. A lot of us on here, including myself, have said that an Arab take over is our only hope. I now disagree. I watch quite a bit of the NBA and a lot of those owners are just billionaires looking to have something shiny to play with. They aren’t primarily motivated by making money. That is my hope now for United. If we go from Glazers to a hedge fund then sure it can be run a lot better and maybe we make our way back to the top because of our revenue, but they could also be looking to squeeze every last drop out of us same as the Glazers.
