🔥 WATCH THIS: Paul Merson RAGING at Manchester City over their industrial-scale cheating, and the moments they’ve denied other teams, players and fans. Merse is saying what a lot of fans have been feeling since the guilty verdicts. The cheating didn’t just help City. It won them the Premier League. He says there’s “absolutely no chance” they would have done it without it. Without the ability to ignore PSR the way everyone else had to, they would have been miles off the top teams. They simply wouldn’t have been able to compete with the legitimate revenue streams the others were generating. The players didn’t win those leagues, “them upstairs” did, by buying all the best players and building a squad no one else was allowed to match. When Clinton Morrison tried to defend them (“they still have to go out and play, Merse”), Merson nearly exploded: “OH COME ON! They had all the best players! They had two best players in every position and they dominated!” Then he went further. Medals and trophies are almost irrelevant next to what actually matters. Life is about moments, and City’s ownership have taken those moments away from other people. He pointed to Manchester United at Sunderland in 2012 — the day Aguero scored in the last seconds against QPR to clinch City’s first title, while United were left standing on the pitch at the Stadium of Light. That was at the height of the cheating. “Life is all about moments and you’ve taken it away from other people. Them upstairs at Man City have nicked other people’s moments in life.” Well put, @PaulMerse 👏
