Compensation from City

Four of Manchester City’s main rivals have lodged legal notices reserving the right to seek compensation if the club are found guilty of serious charges among the 115 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have taken the step of formally registering possible compensation claims via arbitration before a potential statute of limitations deadline last week, sources have told The Times. The clubs involved all declined to comment.

Tears in my eyes, United are gonna be on 22 league titles. Although why Spurs are trying to get compensation is anyone’s guess..

Man City should also be compensating their own fans for so many trips abroad, trips to cup finals which have ultimately turned out to be meaningless. The fans wouldn't have made the trips to Wembley for example if they knew that they couldn't legally win the trophy.

People mock the likes of Boris on here, but the poor bloke has spent thousands of his children's inheritance travelling to matches and competitions that it turns out his team aren't even eligible for.

It's a very similar situation as with Jimmy Savile. When everything came out, his fans lost years of happy memories that turned out were all a lie. City fans are still in the denial phase though.

When they accept that years of their life were a waste of time, then they will seek compensation. But it will take time to get there.

It's literally impossible for them to get found not guilty. 35 charges relate to them not complying so they are getting some sort of punishment in every eventuality. They can't argue against those charges.

Whether the PL can get any of the more serious ones to stick remains to be seen.

After months of telling us it's a slam dunk verdict with all the charges and how tin pot we are, it looks like he's looking for an another way to how "he told us so all this time". So I guess he's concerned again.

Probably worth considering what happened in Serie A when Juve were stripped of a league title and no club wastook their place. If City are stripped of theirs I think the same will happen and it will be marked as not awarded for those years.

Not sure what happened with other clubs suing Juventus and the other clubs embroiled in the scandal over there. Must've been a sh*tshow. But if it was feasible for clubs to do it over there then I expect it'll be possible over here and if I was to guess I'd say hundreds of millions in out of court settlements.

My mate Abu Dhabi Dave reckons he’s got all the inside gossip on Manchester City. He’s always claiming he knows about the “illicit” activities going on, like some rogue detective. “I tell you, mate,” he says to me, “they should be demoted straight to the Amateur FA, all titles stripped.” He’s got a very, uh, creative imagination, to say the least.

Now, here’s where it gets even better. Abu Dhabi Dave swears he's on a first-name basis with Khaldoon Al Mubarak himself. And get this: apparently, the weight of those 115 charges is really getting to Khaldoon. Dave says he hardly sleeps at night. “Every night, it’s the same story,” Dave claims. “Khaldoon wakes up drenched in sweat, calls me at 3 am, screaming my name like a madman. Then he calls me a pig and bursts into tears."

Not only that, but according to Abu Dhabi Dave, Khaldoon’s coping strategies are... unique. “He’s got this strange ritual, you see,” says Dave, with a completely straight face. “After he hangs up, he goes for a 3 am jog around his mansion, and by the time he’s back, he’s scarfing down a bacon sandwich and downing a pint of lager.”

And apparently, Dave says the video calls don’t end there. “When he’s back home, he video calls me again. He's there, covered in sweat, stuffing his face with pork, beer in hand, and get this—he’s blowing his nose into a British Pound note! True story,”

Abu Dhabi Dave says there is more to follow


----------------------------------------------------------------------
I 100% believe everything Abu Dhabi Dave says because it aligns with my own personal bias on the matter

------------------------------------------------
I think because 5th place gets top 4 this season, so if Spurs finish 6th then they should get 5th place, which is top 4 if Man City get found guilty.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You know what Levy is like. Each place in teh table is worth another £1m so the fact that City have come above us for X number of seasons means that we have lost £1m for each of those. It may not amount to much in the big scheme of things but Levy likes to look after the pennies
