Nwabali's ball distribution is wack. Ademola is getting too selfish, these opportunities won't be there the entire game.

Overall, good play so far

I don’t see any good game

SA seem to have a better tactical plan.

I don’t see the benefit of Onuachu either Moffi or Boniface would have been better

This Finidi team is not giving me confidence

serves the premier league right..city will win at the court of abitration just the way they won UEFA..the EPL will pay for damages ...next time don't joke with d big Boyz we are not Everton we are richer than d epl..them go see case them go tire..in all asenal are d losers in this

No court of arbitration for this one. Just like the 151 charges.


Premier league is an association and Man City is a member.

So it’s an internal matter


Premier league go Vex and apply the full punishment which is Relegation to championship.

It happen to Juventus, Rangers and also removal of title happened to Marseille after winning Champions league.

IAMBOSS1990:
Really the dominance of real madrid in the champions league needs to be studied, how they manage to do it year after year, changing players and still keeping the hunger to win. 6 champions leagues for modric, kroos and carvajal playing for just one club is insane. Most players would join Madrid even if it means sitting on the bench to just to experience the glory

Easy they buy the best players and pay the biggest wages. Sometimes the buy the next best very early.

Because they are an organic club and big brand or name and buy the best players from every league. The best players in EPL will go to Madrid eg Debryune or Haaland easily in the past Hazard, Bale , Rudiger, CR7



For next season they already have Mbappe and Endrick coming and probably Alphonso Davies. Endrick they bought at 16 years for 60 million. They bought Bellingham Vinicius and Rodrygo.

Akpororo don score.

Tony Kroos and Modric 6 champions league cups


Madrid they always hang in there until you give them one chance and that’s it.

They don’t overplay or tikitaka you.

They hang in there for making sure worst case . U r only one goal ahead and then they punish you.
Man City and Liverpool husband

Even though I am an Arsenal fan I support Man Utd to win on this one. Those cheating City bastards and their 115 charges. 10points deduction for every 10charges and they will be - 100 points. Equals relegation

To defeat Man City just play Kick and Follow football, if your try and play tiki taka or sexy football with passing with them you go collect.


But don’t underestimate the genius of Pep

franugo:
You seriously no get sense like I've been going thru your posts and I just sense bitterness and unnecessary hatred, I mean you have the time to type out ridiculously long epistles just to try to downplay this record breaking feat....award liv, man u and arsenal our titles? And you get the effrontery to post such nonsense

U be mumu


Everton and Nottingham forest had one or 2 charges and it resulted in 10 points deduction.

In the past Juventus , Marseille, Rangers got relegated for similar offenses.

Marseille got stripped of champions league for a similar offense. I can bet u never start to dey watch football then.

I know say u dey use ur African mind try and reason. U ppl don’t understand the concept of law and consequence.


Na Pep dey save them so far because he is the best coach out there. So it’s had to lose with him

osazsky:
u get only 13m for qualifying for the champions league..Newcastle don't have good sponsorship deals these are income to the club..the ffp wahala is not to spend more than ur income..owners don't just give their clubs money..go and check how much city gets from sponsorship deals...u get over 100m for not winning the epl..how much is d UCL worth google is ur friend.. city has been selling players zeko..Danilo..jovetic ...sterling all sold and others bought..there is no club that don't sell players they don't need and get an upgrade it's normal

newcastle is a smaller brand compared to Arsenal. Also City. . u can read the bbc article urself. goodnight

What are the 115 charges against Man City?
• 54x Failure to provide accurate financial information 2009-10 to 2017-18.

• 14x Failure to provide accurate details for player and manager payments from 2009-10 to 2017-18.

• 5x Failure to comply with Uefa's rules including Financial Fair Play (FFP) 2013-14 to 2017-18.

• 7x Breaching Premier League's PSR rules 2015-16 to 2017-18.

• 35x Failure to co-operate with Premier League investigations December 2018 - Feb 2023.

In total, City have been charged with 115 breaches of Premier League regulations.

Not all of these breaches relate to financial issues. Thirty-five relate to the club's alleged failure to co-operate with the Premier League investigation from 2018 up until February 2023.

The financial allegations go back to 2009 and were highlighted in leaked material published by German newspaper Der Spiegel. City have always said these leaked emails were obtained illegally.

What do the 115 Man City charges mean?
Effectively the charges allege that Manchester City cheated.

We only have the information published in Der Spiegel to go on, but the charges identified allege that:

For nine years to 2017, the club did not provide accurate financial information about their revenue

That from 2009 to 2013, they didn’t give full details of how much they were paying their manager

From 2010 to 2016 they didn’t give full detail around payments to players

From 2013 to 2018 they didn’t comply with Uefa FFP regulations

From 2015 to 2018 they didn’t comply with the Premier League’s PSR rules

osazsky:
ffp nor affect Newcastle oga...they don't have good sponsorship deals

u dont have understanding of what u are talking about.

newcastle have to balance their books and will sell either isak or Guimares to balance their books.

thats why teams fight to qualify for champions league or win titles. you get credited hundred of millions in d club balance book and that reduces ur net spend.

That is why City have been selling players after they were charged by EPL itself.

osazsky:
owners of Newcastle are not ready to invest in that dead club..them never sign any player self

They wish to but FFP. or else City punishment awaits them

Peacecore:
Who pass u pass u. Dey dia dey wait for free trophy. U can just tell dat City is richer dan EPL. Broke ASS nal. dey dia make pant dey wear u

Even with all their financial doping, dem never reach

Man U- 20
Liverpool- 19
Arsenal -13
Everton-9
Man City -9

Peacecore:
Who pass u pass u. Dey dia dey wait for free trophy. U can just tell dat City is richer dan EPL. Broke ASS nal. dey dia make pant dey wear u

The richest club is not Man City, its Newcastle but they are playing according to FFP rules. Chelsea was funded by Russia, Man City UAE and New Castle -Saudi

The richest organic club is Man Utd, they grew their club from ground up.

Ground up is winning titles , gaining title prize money , sponsorship and fan support thru merchandise and tickets

osazsky:
why una come dey stone am after the goal

because he joined their rival.

Spurs fans do the same to Sol Campbell, he is still getiting insultd till today for joining Arsenal.

Those tw clubs hate each other they dont even do transfer between each other

Peacecore:
What a nice submission...

op cry


mumu man....

We have a name for u - Glory hunters, anywhere belle face, famzer

mumu boy

tommorrow now u go say be newcastle fan since dem 1999. when newcastle start to win

osazsky:
and toure too actually it was the day adebayo celebrated after scoring asenal that really made me fall in love with them..asenal fans come they throw bottle to am since na them be the bottlers..the owners of asenal just announced that no fan will be allowed to take bottles into the stadium irrespective of d content

adebayo sef na arsenal fan. Dem Vex for am because im go play for Tottenham

osazsky:
so na when KANU join asenal u begin support asenal and u dey laugh Chelsea ok I started supporting city when we bought iheanacho

Chelsea history is of Nazism. its a historically racist club. I no say na naija village u dey. U dont know history of these clubs.

Arsenal was one of the firs clubs that started using black players back in day.

osazsky:
old news..I current pass u..this thing we definitely come up today to down play city achievement today..this thing has been on since the beginning of last season..they have been barking..after the final verdict EPL will compensate city for defarmation

ok o mr current

I am just telling u they will serve their punishment which is relegation and or removal of title. this wan na British law. They can delay but the justice will be served.

They will award liverpool, man u and arsenal those titles

osazsky:
me na ihanacho make me join city sha

LIAR

no be only ihenacho na toure you for talk

osazsky:
OGA stop wasting ur time...we have gone thru this before..na 10m we pay..we are richer than the epl..these things always comes up when EPL is hungry we go settle them

did u read say na BBC talk am TODAY. Everton and Nottingham forest got points deducted because their own na simple matter. City own is major. its like comparing misdemeanor to Capital offence

In theory, this would have allowed City to sign more and better players than they would normally have been able to.

In the period in question, they won Premier Leagues in 2012 and 2014, finishing runners-up twice, the FA Cup in 2011 – beaten finalists in 2013, and the EFL Cup in 2014 and 2016.

Without the additional money, the argument goes, they would not have won what they did and would not have been as far advanced as they were when Pep Guardiola arrived in 2016 and turned them into the most successful team in the world, culminating in them winning the Treble in 2023. Most of the players tehy signed are still there today

osazsky:
so na when KANU join asenal u begin support asenal and u dey laugh Chelsea ok I started supporting city when we bought iheanacho

I get Chelsea and Arsenal but Man City that one is pure glory hunting

osazsky:
u go wail u go tire the worst city can get us to pay a fine..we are richer than the epl

Not wailing just stating facts. Im just telling u what is coming down the pipeline for City. Possibly relegation and removal of titles

From 2015 to 2018 they didn’t comply with the Premier League’s PSR rules

And finally, from 2018 onwards, they did not co-operate with the Premier League’s inquiry

Now, if we go back to Der Spiegel, the allegations were around driving more money into the club from owner Sheikh Mansour through fictitious sponsorship deals, paying then manager Roberto Mancini to act as a consultant to a club in Abu Dhabi and giving players more money than was going through the accounts.

In theory, this would have allowed City to sign more and better players than they would normally have been able to.

In the period in question, they won Premier Leagues in 2012 and 2014, finishing runners-up twice, the FA Cup in 2011 – beaten finalists in 2013, and the EFL Cup in 2014 and 2016.

There are a number of club officials, including director Simon Pearce, chief executive Ferran Soriano, chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak and owner Sheikh Mansour whose involvement is pivotal.

The same is also true of new Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada, who worked for the City group in various guises from 2011 and negotiated many huge deals.

franugo:
It's pointless to argue with people like you ..shey na you want tell me club wey I dey support?

Same way u will find it hard to find a Sheffield or Burnley naija fan.

You are what EPL fans called a glory chaser or glory famzer. U only support teams that win.

U shd support a team for a reason, for example maybe a naija man has played for that club or OR u are from that area.

Just like you Support Super Eagles for a reason

[quote author=franugo post=130037720][/quote]Any Naija person calling himself a City fan is Laughable or chelsea fan. if you only know the history of these clubs.

OfeAchi:
I don't get these guys arguments really. So would they be happy if EPL was stripped from City and handed over to them, without doing all the hard work required to win a league? (By hard work, I mean winning the games you are required to win)

Its like an athelte who was doping with banned substances for a race he will still be banned and stripped besides winning the race.

Or you start a business with certified stolen funds and build properties. Was there hard work on your part. Yes but the foundation and source is corrupt to begin with. so it can be taken

Or you build house on government canal, can govt destroy your house.. Yes

U get the point


City has done financial doping which gave them unfair advantage from 2008-2018.. Thats why they started selling their players to clean the books up.


Look at Everton and Nottingham 10points deducted for 2 or 3 charges. Citys own is 115 and there punsihment is relegation according to their countrys FA. No be me talk am

ezixt:
I feel your pain. Quite deep.

No pain, i used to be a City fan before they were bought over.

SO trust me not jealousy.

Manc City and Oldham are Debries

See their best player back in the day. from zimba

Imagine NFF and CAF institute a case against a Nigerian club for Financial Doping or irregularites. Money Laudering and co. All this financial laundering have used to gather the best coach and players all over the world.

In February 2020, UEFA's Club Financial Control Body found City in breach of Financial Fair Play rules after deeming they'd falsely inflated sponsorship revenues between 2012 and 2016. Along with the two-year ban, City were also handed a €30 million ($33m) fine.

- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)

City, who had said they were "disappointed but not surprised" by the decision, contested the ruling at CAS, and in July 2020, the court overturned the ban and reduced the fine to €10m.

However, Ceferin maintains UEFA were right to sanction City.

"We know we were right. We wouldn't decide if we didn't think we were right," he said in an interview with The Telegraph.

"As a trial lawyer for 25 years, I know that, sometimes, you win a case that you are sure you will lose. And, sometimes, you lose a case when you're sure ... You just simply have to respect in a serious democracy the decision of the court.

"I don't want to speak about the case in England. But I trust that the decision of our independent body was correct. I didn't enter into this decision."


Aleksander Ceferin believes UEFA were right to ban Manchester City for two years from the Champions League in 2020. Getty
City hailed the CAS ruling as "a validation of the club's position and the body of evidence that it was able to present" but the scrutiny over their financial dealings hasn't lessened since.

In February 2023, City were charged by the Premier League with 115 breaches of financial regulations between 2009 and 2018 and referred the club to an independent commission.

No decision has been reached on City's charges, however, in the period since, Everton have been handed a 10-point deduction for violating the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules.

Along with Nottingham Forest, the Merseyside club were charged with a further breach of the same rules earlier this month.

City boss Pep Guardiola has urged patience over City's charges and said the club's case is completely different to Everton's. However, Ceferin said he understood fans' frustration over the delay in judgement.

"They want to know what's going on and what are the consequences but I don't want to enter into this concrete process because I don't know what the Premier League is dealing with. I really don't want to criticise, or something like that. It wouldn't be fair."


EPL Ban
With Manchester City gunning for a fourth successive Premier League title, and a place in history, it's little wonder that the issue of their dominance - and those 115 charges - has reared its ugly head again. News headlines and pundits are full of it.

At some stage this year, City’s Premier League financial case versus the Premier League will begin as English football - and football around the world - watches on. It promises to have gigantic interest.

The charges, which relate to the timeframe between 2009 and 2018, allege illicit financing and unco-operation. This is not the first time City have faced charges of this nature., as UEFA initially banned them from European competition for two years over a “serious breach” before the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned the verdict in 2020.

Pundit Jamie Carragher believes the situation is a 'PR disaster' for City as they head into Sunday's showdown against West Ham United. Pep Guardiola's men are on the verge of a historic title, but there remains a cloud over the club's success.

"ManCity don't have history"

Now y'all witnessing History in your lifetime

C'mon City 💙 👊🏽

Citys history is relegation and div 2 until UAE bought the club.

Man City is on the level of Burnley and Bournemouth if not for the Sheihk and thats why ppl dont regard them.
They could not win title organically like Man United Liverpool Arsenal, EVerton , etc


They bought the foundation that they are benefitting of.

They and Chelsea are the same. Chelsea sef get level past them.

Chelesea was in top 4 race b4 Abramovich but City was a relegation team, they will go up and go down.

UEFA was going to ban them from Champions league for Financial Fraud

So also Premier League and the matter still dey court.

the verdict will be relegation for City

This ppl and fabulation
