Nobody does what they do for the good of the game.  Not even fucking FIFA does that.

Football is a fully professional competitive sport.  Every single entity is in it to win.  Not this bullshit morality play “good of the game”.  That’s why all players flop and dive and engage in referee abuse and do blood doping/PEDs, and chase the highest paycheck they can.  Because football is about one thing, and that’s winning.

If Man City was doing all this but getting Arsenal level results, there would be no court case at all.  

 But at least they held their hands up.

Bro, and what about the teams cheating that didn’t hold their hands up.  It’s not just Man City.

At the end of the day, if you want to turn football into some morality play, the ship has sailed the day people started paying players professionally.  That fundamentally altered the stakes and raised them 

They already all do cheat.

Other clubs are just pissed at Man City the same way all the cyclists who themselves were all doping were pissed at Armstrong.  And they wouldn’t have given a shit if he wasn’t just actually better than them when it comes down to showing up with whatever you were doping with.

I mean, look at Fergie Time during peak Untited dominance.

Or look at the payrolls of every serious CL contender for the past 35 years.  If that’s not financial doping, then why can’t some small club regularly just dust off teams with bigger payroll spending through “superior tactics”?

So man city winning all those games is scripted now?
