This is insane "The prime minister said the situation was "contested by Manchester City" and he praised the club's owners since 2008 - led by Sheikh Mansour, United Arab Emirates deputy prime minister and royal family member - for investing in Manchester."
They were found guilty. Of all of it.

It is actually insane to me how there is even a question what to do with Man City. Here is a team that has agreed rules with 19 other teams, then consistently refused to co-operate and adhere to the same rules, not once or twice but for an entire decade

It is actually fairly shameful that his teammates were confronted with this concrete example of principle and yet chose to betray it and him anyway.

Mad how the market in football will be like «yeah £117m for Rogers… that seems about right» but then see Reiss Nelson and be like «i’ll give £3m. That’s my final offer»
There’s a gulf in momentum, quality and age. Sure.
But is that gulf £114m worth?

So desillusioned after last night’s quarter-final loss. Not losing, but in the manner that Norway lost.
I feel sorrow. And a big part of it is that the game feels completely taken away.
