Smaller teams should aim to be ambitious and try to compete with bigger teams. I swear only mongs think this is cheating.
They broke the rules but what part of it is cheating? They spent the same as other clubs but spent it in a better way that’s all
On paper yeah it’s “cheating” but let’s be honest it’s not is it, a billionaire bought a club outside of the big 4 and wanted them to be the best
He cooked the books to use his own money and make them a huge footballing power that’s now self sufficient
Wouldn’t surprise me if they get let off with a fine
They haven’t damaged the club they have improved it
They haven’t damaged the league they have made it exciting, the league now has 6/7 teams going for the top 4 positions
Let Newcastle do the same
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Violating rules is quite literally the definition of cheating:

An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of serious breaches of Premier League financial fair play rules

This means they cheated and so if we’re being “honest” we would call it cheating
Runner winger 🫵😂.
He’s just technically not as good as top wingers like Yamal and besides pace he’s just bang average.
Give him any made up title you want but he’s just another Nicholas Pepe.
A runner winger being used as a creative/playmaker winger like he’s Olise or Yamal. Terrible player profiling from Liverpool.
Runner wingers are mostly useless in the Premier League now. This is why Gordon and Martinelli have both left the league.
In the UCL, where there’s space to attack in transition, they’ll shine. But against a packed box? Nahh…
Who tf spends €145m on a runner to play in the Premier League?? Absolute poor allocation of funds.

You can imagine the disrespect. So annoying to see.
Gary Lineker has officially entered the “say anything about Cristiano Ronaldo for engagement” phase.
Cristiano Ronaldo in the SAME category as Mbappé? 😂
Please be serious.
5 Ballon d’Ors.
5 Champions League titles.
Champions League all-time scoring records.
League titles in England, Spain and Italy.
International trophies with Portugal.
Over 970 career goals and 300+ assists
And somehow we’re supposed to sit here and pretend this man belongs in a conversation with a player whose career is still being written?
You can prefer Messi.
You can worship Maradona.
You can argue R9 had more natural ability.
But trying to drag Cristiano out of football’s highest table is pure revisionism.
And putting Neymar and Mbappé beside him makes it even worse.
Cristiano didn’t dominate one league, one system or one generation. He went to different countries, faced different challenges and kept producing ridiculous numbers.
This is disrespectful and pure dislike.
If Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t in football’s greatest-ever conversation, then what exactly were we watching for the last 20 years?
