It turns out sportswashing definitely works.
90% of city fans believe their state owners have done absolutely nothing wrong and it's all the media out to get City.
Genuinely a true story. 🤦♂️🤣

Martin Odegaard has criticised Bernardo Silva for a challenge on him that “does not belong on a football pitch” during Norway’s Nations League match against Portugal.

Across the nine seasons they were accused of not providing accurate information, Manchester City spent £1.943billion on wages, over £100m more than any other English club. In 17 Abu Dhabi-controlled years to the end of 2024-25, their combined wage bill was £4.963bn.
At Manchester United and Chelsea, the next-highest combined bills in England, the figure is around £600m lower. It is a staggering difference.
Since 2009-10 (the first season the charges relate to), the Premier League has dished out more than £6bn in merit payments to 42 different clubs. City received £559.6m (9%).
They have played in the Champions League every year from 2011-12 onwards, achieving qualification in eight of the nine years the charges spanned.
Such qualification naturally means others missed out. On that particular measure, Tottenham Hotspur were worst hit, landing one spot outside of the Champions League on four occasions during that spell. Their Europa League earnings from those occasions totalled a combined £28.8million; City made £141m from the Champions League in the same seasons.
It is not just those fighting for titles or European spots who may feel they’ve missed out. What of the beaten cup finalists? What of the clubs who might have avoided relegation if City’s results were scrubbed out?

Twitter has peaked. Roofers have turned into barristers, people in Africa are trying to get David Ornstein sacked for reporting the news, middle aged men are writing essays on the RED CARTEL. It does not get any better than this

Martin Ødegaard limped out of the Ullevaal Stadium last night after he was caught late by Bernardo Silva in stoppage time, which required treatment.
'It's a loss of heart from him. He just kicked me down long after I had played the ball away. I didn't understand what he was doing,' Ødegaard told Norwegian broadcaster TV 2. 'It probably won't be good tonight, but I'm betting that it will work out in the next few days.'

As a human being, how can you sink so low? Morally bankrupt.

In the meantime, you can access the most popular stories on the Sporting Intelligence substack, a lot of which are jam packed with evidence and documents pointing to City's guilt

I am a Forest fan and I can tell you straight, if Forest were ever found to be pulling the sort of caper Man City have, I wouldn’t be on social media trying to defend it, playing the victim.
I’d be saying we broke the rules, we deserve the punishment.
Football, sport, business, politics - you name it - should all be on a level playing field.
I wouldn’t want to support anything that is rotten.
City fans: Man up; take it on the chin, take the punishment, clean the house, clean the slate, learn from it and go again.
All this whining is not a good look.

The news that Manchester City have been found guilty of almost all of the Premier League charges against them sent shockwaves through the sporting world on Friday.
City believe the fight is far from over and remain bullish, but those at other clubs view the story through a very different prism.
For some there was an almost celebratory mood, while for others attention turned swiftly to the direct impact on their own club.
The Athletic has spent the weekend talking to people at clubs and organisations across Europe. This is how they view the situation.
