No they aren't. That's the point. Absolute f***ing no-marks. They should be expelled from the game full stop They can start again if they like as a phoenix club FC City of Manchester; Eastlands FC; Manchester Madferits. Who f***ing cares?

He's the f***ing pits, him One horrible, lying, cheating, manipulative piece of s***

This last one is actually possible Apart from 'everyone being sorry' f*** the Premier League We should be prioritising a future where we don't have to play against clubs who do this, whether that is inside or outside of the Premier League Don't the charges only go up to the year they got hacked? As if they aren't still doing it - they cut a deal on dodgy Associated Party Transactions about a year ago

There should be a Hunger Games with their squad whereby the last man standing (ie Haaland) gets to sign for us

If that's true then surely the players can just cancel their contracts The first one he didn't win was even greater

To quote their chief football writer - 'absolute c****'

'Even if we get found guilty of cheating - which we already have been - then I'll still trust the club and anyway, our fraudulently assembled squad did actually beat other fairly assembled sides on the field so it happened and that's that' f***ing prick

It's defo possible. Imagine they have and get caught for that too! The size of punishment they should be getting is already unfathomable. They'd just have to disband the club or something.

There are occasions when it fits but not when the issue is people wishing a £100m+ signing would play a bit better

All reasons why it might be hard for them to decide to not play. Your point was that they didn't know enough about what was happening in Gaza, wasn't it?

I don't agree. Gosh I am surprised

He was very likeable with us but he does also have an unfortunate look of someone who would try to sink small boats in the channel. Which might be something he's totally against.

Amazing 'Yeah, but he's a sub goalie so we didn't ask him'

That was effectively the Premier League though, in practice if not in principle - just some of those in favour (mostly Everton and Spurs) have f***ed up their position of power so badly that they ended up not getting invited to what was always the logical next step. That is basically why City fans argue that even though they are guilty they are justified. I take it you agree? Or would in principle deepening on where their money came from?

Yeah, heaven forbid we be unfair to City

Given that I've no idea and can't find what he said I'm now quite interested

Inviting City was about the only thing wrong with it, given that City are pretty much the reason it was ever suggested anyway

Correct So just update that wall thing anyway. What's anyone going to do? I won't enjoy the extra numbers but I'll enjoy the defiance Nobody should play against them again Other than maybe Chelsea And PSG Possibly Newcastle if they still have 11 players

"I was the best manager in Britain because I was never devious or cheated anyone. I'd break my wife's legs if I played against her, but I'd never cheat her."

It's absolutely absurd to even consider that they should be allowed to keep them The analogies with other sports have been done often enough but in summary: cheats don't keep the titles that in any way came from their cheating I've always said strip but don't reallocate - if they don't strip we should just reallocate them ourselves and give us three more titles.

"In cases such as City's, involving financial rule breaches, the argument for such a punishment is more complicated. Many will see it as unfair that players and fans unconnected to any rule breaches should suffer by losing titles" The players are complicit and the fans feeling sad is neither here nor there - unless they want to consider me feeling sad too?

With their trabs slung over telegraph wires

I get that it's hard for them in practical terms to say they won't play but I'm not having that the decision is based on them not knowing enough. What more is there to know?

Bernard Manning too Like they did with Cromwell
