Not disagreeing, but you're talking about a club...which by all things currently is on the road to getting severely reprimanded in a number of possible ways when it comes to cheating and spending more money than it could to build their team from 2013 to 2018, which has directly impacted their core nowadays due to their ability to sell players and recoup the funds to spend in others. Not all the charges are financial, but the problem is that they have 12 charges of breaking FFP and many others if the 14 other charges of inaccurately providing information about players' and coaches' salaries are part of FFP laws. They as a club deserve zero respect and a father talking about the lack of losses he and his son have witnessed so far is on the backs of blatant cheating.
What is going on currently is that City knows they will punished big time and so they are dragging their feet and winning everything they can in preparation for being point-deduced, fined money, transfer banned, relegated, or a combination of everything. However, I highly doubt that they will ever be relegated as most of the issues lie with UEFA and they gave them a 10 million dollar slap on the wrist fan and kicked out of the CL for two seasons due to rules they broke in the past. The interesting one is the 35 times they failed to cooperate with FA when it came to investigations submitted between 2018 and 2023. Those do not seem like much, but that could be worse as it shows clear signs of trying to delay the process as long as humanly possible because they know they are guilty.
