    What's the thing with Man City

    I keep hearing about their flagrant misuse of trnasfer funds, but what is actually happening? If I were in charge I would relegate them to the National League and hit them with a complete transfer embargo for ten years. I certainly would not deduct points from any team during the season and then reinstate them. That way chaos lies. We have no idea what is happening at the bottom of the Premier League, aand that is farcical.

    City are effectively backed by a country and, as such, lawyers will be hired to protect their interests in anything which affects them.
    This definitely the case in this investigation and, because of the amount of funding available to them, they can keep things going for as long as is necessary. This has been going on for some time now and I honestly think that it will drag on for a lot longer without any resolution.

    Let's face it, as far as the Premier League is concerned, there are more questions than answers and they are happy to see a status quo because of the money which clubs like City and Chelsea generate. There is a word for it, however,................................

    Not the one I was thinking about because all clubs do that, I was looking at the wider picture of football in general and how it is run.

    Everton and Forest are running rings round the PL with their cut price operations, the PL have no chance against City and their Saudi billions. As Sub says, their legal team can drag it out for as long as they like.
