Reporting Man City to FA

Now the inevitable has happened with Lescott, we hear that we are going to report the shite to the FA. This is good; it will show the souless lot that they can't tap up and not expect consequences.

Chances are that Triad would probably offer the FA a nice juicy sponsership so that this doesn't happen. I know it's a conspiracy theory but we do seem to get the short end of the FA stick quite regularly.

Tell me... what have they done that can be substantiated?

Absolutely pointless.

I agree with Ciaran, it's totally pointless. But it will help BK & Moyes continue their victim act and let us think we are morally superior. Which is all we have left as we gave up ambition years ago.

I have to agree with Ciaran too. I can’t see what they have done that other football teams haven’t done all the time. Moyes is just throwing his toys out his pram. Complete waste of time, he should be concentrating his efforts on securing some players.

I for one welcome the suggestions coming from DM, that he/the Club will pursue action against MCFC, for their so called ’part’ in the JL affair. Demands for points deduction, and severe financial penalties have been mooted. It is therefore encumbent on Scudamore and his Cronies to investigate the nature of what have been rather serious allegations against ’City’.

As soon as the powers that be have carefully studied the merits of the case, they should publish the actual and factual occurrences. If it is found that MCFC have acted within the required remit, one assumes that there will be (similar) recourse from the ’accused’ by way of a Financial Penalty, or perhaps a points deduction, if only to avoid a repetetion of this stage-managed mischief?

Just been thinking about this for the last few hours. I am delighted that we got £24mil for a player that is simply not worth it. Only really delighted if that goes straight into a fund to buy badly needed new players.

Surely though after this episode the FA now need to step in and set the example. Lescott goes to Moyes and tells him on the Friday that he does not want to play for Everton against Arsenal, now this prick would still expect his Everton pay cheque though.

I'd love to see this now sent to the FA for a ruling as this is becoming more and more frequent. Fine the fucker a month's salary and suspend him from Premier League football for a month — that way, the club that has been quietly telling him behind the scenes that they will double his salary, at least have to double it when the prick is sitting in their stand for a month. I know it's nothing to City but it would be to others. Maybe not the best solution.... what do you think?
