    Calling out the big school bully for a fight after school makes you seem tough?

    Doesn't mean you won't bottle it not turn up come home time though

      But 115 is a lot of charges to make disappear if your intention is to fudge the issue. Why not go for a lesser number of charges that can more easily be whittled away?

        My point, if there is no intention to think you can get over the line, why 115, why not 2 or 3.

        I have great scepticism on both sides here, if City beat 115 charges the rules are gone, literally gone !
        I make no apologies, this is me

          Agree If they beat all 115 then the Premier League’s credibility as a PSR regulator is ****ed.

          Perhaps the fudge is that they will let City off on the major violations and pin them with some more minor infractions. Perhaps having so many charges against them helps with that?

              Fined £2m for delayed kicks offs.

              One of the more obscure things to get punished for.
              Oh I don't know.

                Several charges relate to failing to be open about their accounts. Dont see how they can be found innocent of that one

                  Fecking City, years of cheating have led them to this. They are so well run these days but it’s all built on the early years of financial doping

                  Alvarez is good but that’s some mad profit on him

                    I bet they never end up paying that amount though. That’s a **** load of money for that club. Did they sell someone of note recently to have that sort of cash?

                      They’ve spent almost e200m this summer - Alvarez, Le Normand, Sorloth and probably Gallagher

                            That helps, maybe they can break into the big two , although Simeone might need to change his tactics somewhat
