It will take some time to put together though. But what might surprise most people is that even if it had succeeded in deceiving the panel members… Man City’s defence would have still failed! 𝙈𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙞𝙩𝙮’𝙨 “𝙞𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚” 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙇𝘿 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙨! Even if they had successfully fooled the Independent Commission members into believing it were true, they would have still been in breach of all the same rules and subject to major sanctions. What’s more, the “irrefutable evidence” would actually guarantee that they must be charged with a further 100+ breaches for the 2018/19-2024/25 seasons too. I explain exactly how this is the case in the thread below… but the implication should get people questioning why they even presented this concocted evidence if it was always doomed to fail. When people try to analyse Man City’s actions they often forget that the people in charge are the rulers of the UAE. Money is not important to them - they do not act commercially - only power and influence matter. They are quite literally above the law at home and believe this should apply to them and their endeavours everywhere else. The most important thing to them is their reputation on the world stage. It’s why they bought Man City and spent so much on it. Their “irrefutable evidence” is nothing more than the desperate death throes of the UAE’s collapsing reputation. They will do anything they can to try and spin the narrative into one where they’ve done nothing wrong and it’s only a biased, racist cartel of clubs, the Premier League Board and Independent Commission members that are conspiring against them. It’s an insult to anyone with rudimentary intelligence and critical thinking skills. I will produce Part 2 of this analysis in the coming days, which will showcase why their “irrefutable evidence” is so obviously fake. This thread will focus solely on showing why it wouldn’t have absolved them of the charges even if it had worked… 🧵
