Seen it all before with the Russian, sadly..... Only this time they have way more empowering wealth.
The city fans were chanting/singing about Heyseltragedy but LFC turned it around and complained about Hillsborough to deflect from what I gather.
For me, that's just fan stuff. Which has nothing to do with how Manchester City the football Club have acted, what they are doing (details in the two media reports above) is a deep concern.
And here we are with PSG now, same tactics but again this is how States operate so no big surprise the State-owned Clubs operate the same way, modus operandi
Pathetic.
NC will be at it soon too.....
Then maybe the dippers......
We've still yet to see what Bohely has got up his sleeve and for whom too........
Honestly; what's the point.
There were a lot of annoyingly smug city fans on Twitter asking anyone questioning their reports if they were accountants.

Impressive, we should hire their accounting team
I’m no policeman, but if I see someone being stabbed to death on the street, I know it’s a murder I’m seeing.
mad how its just accepted that these state owned clubs can basically do what they want. how are all the other clubs just allowing it to go on? absolutely killing the sport.
IIRC Man City and Chelsea were seen as any other takeover and not taken seriously and Newcastle's takeover was accepted due to dodgy dealings from the government.
The reason its allowed is because football is low scoring. This would not be tolerated in Basketball or American football because it would make a total mockery of the sport. In football most countries have teams that have always dominated anyway so its seen as a continuation of that.
what dodgy dealings?
Interesting theory.....
Worth remembering though; that when games reach 7, 8, 9-0 etc. they become seen as a bit of a joke......
Even City's 6-0 FA Cup final win over Watford was greeted with derision from some quarters of the game.
A slaughter is a slaughter whether it's England hitting double figures against San Marino or a basketball team scoring north of 100 points.......... If such a margin becomes too commonplace, then the sense of sporting competition becomes less compelling.
The EPL has (esp. in more recent times) prided itself with being more competitive than most other leagues..... In that respect it's madness that they are only too happy too 'sleepwalk' out of said scenario.
Most football games dont get that bad, if there was an equivalent of a Man City in basketball the scoreline would be a joke very often. Mainly because in basketball you have way more chances to score and dominating a game always translates to way more points on the scoreboard. And as we know in football you can completely dominate the game and only win by 2 or 3 goals.
I heard the government basically pushed for the deal to go through so approval from the other teams might not have been needed.
