Well, they’ve signed a player for Troyes who are owned by the City a group. In essence, they’ve paid £33.6m to themselves for a Brazilian player that’s not kicked a ball for Troyes.

So , when you were little City were shite. Let’s say you were 8 (he was born in 2000) when you first started playing video games. Man City finished fucking 10th.p in 2008/09. Don’t bullshit a bullshitter.

What a fuckwad. The cùnt probably didnt know cheateh existed until last year.
Reminds me of Robbie fucking Keane and his "as a boyhood fan / lifelong dream of playing for [enter club name here]" horseshit.
When he joined Leeds he claimed he was a boyhood fan and it was his lifelong dream to play for them, then when he joined the victims* he claimed he was a boyhood fan and it was his lifelong dream to play for them, then when he joined Celtic he claimed he was a boyhood fan and it was his lifelong dream to play for them..... fucking twat.
Manchester City have been fined £2.09m for repeatedly coming out late for both the start of matches and after half-time.
The club accepted they had breached Premier League rules 22 times "without good reason, external".
The Premier League said the club had "apologised for the accepted breaches and confirmed that it has reminded the players and football management teams of their responsibilities".
"Rules relating to kick-offs and restarts help ensure the organisation of the competition is set at the highest possible professional standard and provides certainty to fans and participating clubs," it said.
"It also ensures the broadcast of all 380 league matches around the world is kept to schedule."
City have declined to comment.
The Premier League champions delayed restarts eight times in the 2022-23 season and were fined £390,000.
In the 2023-24 season there were 14 breaches and fines amounting to £1.7m - with the start of the second half delayed 11 times and the start of the match delayed four times.
The punishments ranged from a warning for the first offence - in a match against Crystal Palace on 27 August 2022 - to the largest sanction of £200,000, which they have received for the longest delay of two minutes 46 seconds.
That came during their 3-1 victory over West Ham on 19 May 2024, as they sealed a fourth consecutive Premier League title on the last day of the season.
Their 1-0 home victory over Newcastle on 19 August 2023 featured a delayed kick-off and restart, and 12 of the breaches across the two seasons happened at home matches.
In March 2023, the league's independent disciplinary commission fined Crystal Palace £220,000 - £70,000 of which was suspended - for causing delays in two games in October 2022 - Palace's 13th and 14th breaches in two seasons.
Later this year, a Premier League disciplinary commission is expected to hear 115 charges against City for allegedly breaching its financial regulations, some of which date back to 2009.
Some of those charges relate to amounts paid to City by sponsors linked to Abu Dhabi.
The club have always strenuously denied the charges and say they are supported by a "body of irrefutable evidence".
It's almost like financial penalties mean nothing to cheateh.....
Yep. Now, they seem to be actively engaged in meticulously planning how to cheat in every single way possible. It's like those frauds you see where companies or individuals have got away with stealing millions and so just work out that the next step is finding a way to steal small amounts every minute rather than large amounts every few months. They know the Premier League have no power to do anything here other than fine them and that means nothing . They've worked out exactly where they can gain a tiny advantage in every way possible and have no doubt had their legal teams searching through the Premier League rules and regulations to find out how far they can keep pushing in areas where no real punishment exists. Fucking hell, though, shouldn't the Premier League be doing something about this? 22 times and you keep letting them get away with it? We all know what this means, they are delaying the games and the second halves so that they know their game will still be going when others have finished so that they can have even a few minutes at the end to know exactly what they have to do to gain an advantage. It's further proof that their whole system is designed to cheat in any way possible and it's becoming more and more obvious that every area of life at that club is based on cheating. It's the footballing equivalent of that Russian doping programme a few years back.
