@davidallengreen.bsky.social

Have now slowly re-read the ruling, and it is even more damning than at first reading.

The ruling pretty much sets out Manchester City was fraudulent on a systemic long-term basis.

Not just mere non-compliance, but ‘concealments’ and ‘disguises’.

Also some MCFC witnesses were ‘dishonest’.

Manchester City were a criminal operation hiding in plain sight. An example of the worst excesses & lack of ethics of corporate capitalism. Scottish football forced Rangers to start again in the 4th tier: the Glasgow club did go into liquidation. Man City need a similar scale of punishment.
