I wonder how our manager is feeling with all the talking of City Financially cheating,surely it puts a stain on any of their Premier League titles.

Can't see him being to bothered it will just speed up Pep walking away and Vincent becoming City's manager,it will come in handy with him knowing the Championship he will have them back in the Premier league in a jiffy.

That wouldn’t be very good for us,I reckon we need to keep him two more years minimum.

The EFL would be well within their rights to refuse City direct entry to its leagues if expulsion from the Premier League is a reality

In many ways it would be good for football if (and subject to the clear and obvious judgement - this bit is critical) they were made to start life in the National League - that way (like we saw with Rangers in Scotland) everyone has a moment to benefit from the attention and additional income generation of the journey back, while letting them know exactly what their inflation inducing approach has done to the game as a whole.

And the EFL would go hmmmmmmmmmmmm go on then, stick em in div 3 and let them win promotion every year…………..full house every week at every ground……

Ta v much…………

Blind eye turned…….

What I suggested is not blind eye turned - particularly given that much more stringent financial regulations are likely to be incoming - City will have to operate within them on the way back up - which will make the final two steps - promotion to the Premier League and then getting back into europe rather a challenge - this is where their prolific academy could help - (they operate outside the financial regulations)

One thought is that City may actually become more interested in a Super League if they lose and are subject to Premier League expulsion

Not criticising you CP……..they could all use this as their reason to set up the SL……..get chucked out and off they go………they won’t give up on this SL objective…………..

Then we need a separate chat on if they “the top clubs” did form an SL then what………..I for one, would hope the FL would be cute enough to brand it as proper football, fans for football and enjoy it at accessible prices……I rarely watch MOTD, or European games, generally just the Sunday or Monday matches because otherwise I’m on the Turf……..if they did breakaway, I really Cba…………

I've been studying Vincent's body language very closely from the Bob Lord Stand. It's something I excel at and these are the "tells" he gives for certain emotions:

Moving Head ................... Jealousy
Moving Tail ..................... Indifference
Moving Head and Tail ......... In Love
Curling Sides ................... Fickle
Turns Over ...................... False
Motionless ...................... Dead One
Curls Up Entirely .............. Passionate
Talking to Craig Bellamy ..... Angry

City will just pay their way out of trouble, I know you are on the money where finances are concerned & rules but it's naive to suggest city won't find ways means to circumnavigate & overcome whatever obstacles come along, people will be payed off & watch & wait slowly slowly things will be become relaxed & people will just automatically forget people won't even care another big story will emerge as a distraction, nothing serious will happen to city despite the uproar & posturing money will ensure that.

Means they'd probably take THB back.

You can take his medals but they will never take his memories or money, I’d certainly not loose too much sleep

Shaking tother managers hand ............Another one bites the dust

Isn't his mood already on record? He's alluded to it having the odor of the EPL speaking out of the side of its mouth, casting aspersions Citeh's way while it's not exactly innocent of this and that itself - kinda like a stink bug calling a cockroach ugly

it shouldn't even be a conversation until they are proven to be guilty which will take the best part of another 3-5 years at a guess. ZERO chance City accept any fault and they will drag it through every conceivable avenue of appeal

Vincent's mood will no doubt be lifted by winning MOTM award again.

Love this....any chance you could turn it into something we can enjoy at home by getting some "Fortune Teller Miracle Vincent Kompany" film figures manufactured to go inside this year's Christmas crackers instead of the usual "Fortune Teller Miracle Fish" ?
