Pocket, it's only because other big European clubs sounded off together and whipped it all up, that City were finally put under the microscope, hence all these charges being aimed at them.
Like you say they all probably operate the same way and have done for years but now there's a new super power, money wise, on the scene those European big clubs don't like City winning everything.
Watching Wales v France
City are the best of 2 evils at least their's it's only somehow not breaking the FFP rules.
Enjoying the game, while updating my MM posts.
