    Ah, but everton is actually a different club. They wouldn’t do anything to hurt their favorite little golden child. If that were the case they would have done it years ago

      lol wat. Then why charge City at all after they were wholly exonerated by CAS? The charges have already done plenty of damage because your average know-nothing red club fan presumes guilt from the outset which the media happily tap into.

      It’s all about pressure from both sides. Can the public threaten the sanctity of the money-making machine enough, or is a sovereign ruler too imposing? The two sides may discuss where the threshold is… at some point, I’d guess, it’s just worth accepting a real hit.

      Surely they just wouldn’t press charges in the first place then ? I don’t get this logic the FA are doing years of investigation when that have no intention of following up ?
