It means more successful clubs can’t stockpile players for the sake of it, and if they do want to improve on their squad, they need to let players go so that other clubs can benefit also… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 They'll just find a way to make the players Abu Dhabi tourism ambassadors or whatever and pay them that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 At some point the figures for the Haaland deal will come out. I suspect it was astronomical and WAY more than is in the public domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalVillan Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) The more titles* and trebles* they win, the more ridiculous the whole thing looks so I actually welcome it. Obviously I don't watch their games, (who wants to watch blatant cheats damage the integrity of our sport whilst directly f****** over our club?) but I also don't consider them to be a valid club. The league has 19 teams and a cheat code, whose wins* don't mean a thing. Edited April 14 by GlobalVillan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind them keep winning now because they're all null and void anyway, plus I think it's damaging to the PL to have the same winner repeatedly who everyone knows cheated to do it. Arsenal and Liverpool would actually care if they won as well, and we'd never hear the end of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so but something tells me this 3 way race - which once city will pull away with ease and win thanks to their ridiculous depth - will be sold by sky as being incredible It was obvious since about November this would happen, the only surprise was how many people doubted it, saka and odegaard are dead on their feet 2nd half, city have silva Grealish and Foden on the bench, exact same as last season But then again 4 in a row, first team to do it, how **** incredible is that, if they add another treble what a time to be alive as a football fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 10 years time the whole lot will be exposed and they will be seen as cheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is about the veracity of their historical accounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 14 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14 Citeh are probably the healthiest club in the league as far as PSR is concerned. The problem is, that has come from what they've been charged with, fiddling the books on a grand scale for an extended period, hiding and obscuring spending and obfusticating income. And then not cooperating in the investigation. This is why they need to be destroyed. The organisation is made of cheating. It's in its very being. Everything it is, is tainted and ill-gotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haaland, his dad and the unrealised sperm in his scrotum will have untold millions tucked away in Abu Dhabi. The Premier League has absolutely no way of tracking this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they should be boycotted. I couldn't care less how "good" they are. I wont't be watching videos of Lance Armstrong saying "wow, isn't he good" either. Especially if the rider I support is a few places behind him. Madness how many do though. (Only to point out how boring they are) I genuinley despise them and it's terrible that they will go on to multiple trebles, breaking every record in football, whilst the laws change in the meantime meaning thye end up with just a fine. The game is totally broken with them in it and I'm sick of hearing how good they are. Its irrelevant! Edited April 15 by GlobalVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted April 15 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15 Pep wearing a £1.1 million pound watch, bet he's paid for that himself! Their a blot on the landscape of the premier league and I would rather SHA win the league fairly than these sneaking about, with hidden payments , inflated deals and other such bollox. It's a travesty against all football fans in the UK and its leaking into Europe as well, disgusting tbh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that watch is obscene and just throws it in our faces just how corrupt they are. Yet I am sure there will be plenty of people happy to watch them again this week, destroying the beautiful game with 2 fingers up at us. The fact he wore it during a game shows they don't care who knows what they are doing. They aren't even hiding it. I know that prick is rich, but a £1.1 million watch? Clearly a "gift" from their wonderful owners. It all stinks. Edited April 15 by GlobalVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially at that level. Also, it's not a watch company sponsorship there are only 50 of those watches in the world.

Genie Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I’d really like to see supporters at every game they play bringing banners and chants to relentlessly remind them that they are cheats. They are getting off too easily at the moment. It needs to be tarnished so they are almost embarrassed to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
