In 1910 the FA investigated Manchester United over debts of more than £16,000, including £9,631 owed to owner John Henry Davies, and allegations of illegal player payments. Manchester United’s first great team was owner-funded. In 2026 the rules suddenly matter, because Manchester City are the ones involved. The original sham funding story in Manchester is red, not blue.

👀😂 typical scouse response on here that. I’ll tell you what we’ll do. Here’s my season tickets for the last 40 years. Rarely missed a game. You tell me your excuses why you can’t send a picture of yours back. Fairs. I’ll wait..

City lies and laughter. Bobby Charlton is a nonce. Reality - Barry Bennell/Adam Johnson. Manchester is Blue. Reality - Over 80 years since city had a bigger average gate than United. Fergie paying refs/United are bent. Reality - 114. Lovely times right now.

Ted Bundy oozed confidence, charm and charisma when he was in the dock

"Man city are small" but here you lot are celebrating shamelessly begging for titles we beat you to fair and square using the excuse of "115" to cope for your club's failures to detrone Manchester city.

Dont want to hear @Arsenal @ManUtd @ChelseaFC @SpursOfficial @LFC fans moaning about Man City coz all your owners sat round a table & tried to run away to a super league &destroy the whole of English football the @premierleague let you get away with it because they are corrupted

Null and void

I don't give a shit about City's charges, these rules shouldn't even exist. They're an absolute mockery anyway when a certain other Manchester club can still spend with impunity while apparently being billions of pounds in debt 🤷

Why are @ManUtd fans jumping on the Man City bandwagon Man U cheated there whole way through the 90s had referees in there pockets and still till this day are financially cheating they are £1.5billion in debt & are allowed to carry on as normal cos of the corrupt @premierleague

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City found guilty on virtually all charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations. #MCFC expected to appeal against verdict issued by independent commission. Sanctions undecided, process ongoing @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7049721…

That independent commission should come out and provide hard evidence that we were actually guilty and also clarify whether there was any interference in the process. Anything less than that will raise serious questions about fairness and whether Manchester City is being treated differently because of our success over the years.

A lot of rival fans are going to shout the typical ‘Haha you’re getting relegated’ crap… that isn’t happening This is very similar to what happened in 2020 when UEFA claimed that we were guilty then we went to an independent panel and guess what? City were found to be innocent.

City will appeal, we’ll have another 3 year wait for the outcome of that and potential sanctions. This isn’t the win many of your reactions suggest you think it is. Wait and see.

Am I bothered about the news today, am I fuck. Cheated or not cheated I’ve had an absolute blast seeing my @ManCity climb to heights I never even dreamt of. I’ve seen us lift every trophy and felt every emotion. Been to places to watch us play that I never thought of. If I never see it again I am blessed. #mancity #115charges
