Lord Panic has nothing on Johnnie Cochran … City had enough money with all the breaches they committed to bring him back from the dead to save themselves.

Now let’s hope the Premier League has the balls to follow through with an appropriate punishment

There's a fine line between an organisation being held liable for so many allegations of financial irregularity (and trying to mislead the investigation), and individuals in that organisation being criminally investigated for fraud.

Maybe a bit early to discuss the process whatever the outcome may be here. But Man City investigation started in 2018. The club was charged more than 3 years ago. In that time, the team has continued unmolested, recruiting at incredible fees, winning at great frequency. The PL still can’t comment.

"League One? Halcyon days. For City fans of a certain age and disposition, beating Gillingham in the playoff is our top footballing memory."

I remember it like it was yesterday #FeedtheGoat
