I got a guess. Seems pretty black and white to me lol

So all in all they're expecting charges to be dropped and compensation from the league for putting them through this lmao

Kick em out altogether

I feel like Bodie from The Wire. This game is rigged, man. City can do all that they do and yet it's everyone else who gets the points deductions and possible relegation.

Big money ruins everything eventually

Wait a second........

So their argument is that they should be able to valuate their own sponsorships with no regulation????

So they're saying they should be able to do majority of what they're being charged for without any regard or limits....lol

nah nah nah....This is like the Yankees in the late 90s early 2ks....Throw this out

Anxious to see how many points Leicester will have deducted to start the season…lol

Ya know, maybe the big clubs should form a super league. Make them exempt from playing in any of the standard/traditional tournaments and they can only play super league nonsense.

If City are relegated they’ll be back on the super league train so fast

I love reading the justifications from players who are entertaining the idea of going to the Saudi league while making 400k a week at their current club. It is very entertaining.

Werner's actually been a solid player for us and I'm glad we got him back. Gives us more money to focus on more pressing needs.

I actually kinda respect de Bruyne saying “fuck that’s a lot of money for a man this stage of his career to turn down”. It is, most players come from working class backgrounds and that kind of money transforms their entire families lives, not just their own.

It certainly better that Jordan Henderson going over there to change Saudi’s LGBT atrocities through playing football in an empty stadium on insane money….

I think with the new format, it’s actually better for us to be in Europa this year. No CL clubs fall into EL so there’s a pretty good shot at going deep, possibly winning. Even if we just win a ton of group and knockout games we’ll make more than if we qualified for UCL and dropped.

And destroying his legacy for a 6 month stint.
