They miss the depth they used to have. People underestimate how important guys like Cancelo and Mahrez were.

To be fair, he’s won 1 of his last 12 and has 9 losses in that time.

Ah yes what have you done for me lately. You either win the league every year or you’re a fraud. I’m guessing everyone else is a fraud because no one can compete with his resume. The post is incredibly stupid to argue otherwise is to live in an alternate reality.

His resume takes a hard hit if City are found guilty. But i would not go as far as to say that he is a fraud because of that.

How so?. You still have to win and coaches have to coach. The players reputation wouldn’t take a hit why would the coach? Is Kdb lesser of a player if you remove his epl titles?
From my understanding it’s deals made prior to pep anyway. I think we don’t need the court of law to say city probably are guilty of financial crimes. It doesn’t make their dominance on the field any less impressive. At the end of the day they’re all crooks.

Was at a family gathering all day and playing catchup now.
Brighton - pretty mid performance. Best part was seeing Veltman back in action. On the Estupinan challenge, I'm genuinely shocked he didn't see red there. Brutal tackle.
Arsenal - 5 goals, yay! Saka out, sad.

Their biggest strength was the ridiculous depth that they had. That depth was only possible due to financial doping.
Many years where they won the title, teams like Liverpool and Arsenal were able to keep up up to a certain point but ultimately failed most years because their teams got too injured and tired down the stretch.
City loses their depth and suddenly they can't keep up at all because of an aging squad and injuries. This just makes what Liverpool and Arsenal did more impressive considering they were able to keep up until the final weeks.

Another great win for Forest, blanking Brentford and handing them their first home defeat of the season
This is a rough breakdown of the charges and the span they cover, so roughly 50% of the charges are covering his time at city
| Charge | Number of charges | Seasons |
| Failure to provide accurate financial information | 54 | 2009/10 - 2017/18 |
| Failure to provide accurate player and manager payments | 14 | 2009/10 - 2017/18 |
| Failure to comply with EUFA rules | 5 | 2013/14 - 2017/18 |
| Breaching EPL PSR rules | 7 | 2015/16 - 2017/18 |
| Failure to cooperate with investigations | 35 | 2018/19 - 2022/23 |

It's weird how the manager wants Rashford to stay but then keeps him out of the squad. Unless that's not his decision.

My assumption is he sees a ton of talent in him and think if Rashford can fix some of his stuff he can get back to being was he was before.
Maybe 30 goals all comps like a couple years ago is a bit above what you can regularly expect, but something like low to mid 20s shouldn't be unreasonably given his talents.

Caicedo… man f***ing Caicedo
That’s a tough finish for Nico, ball behind him he really had to pull forward
