They weren't found guilty of "trying to match spending" you were convicted of system-wide industrial corporate fraud that has irreversibly damaged English football. City used fraudulent quantitative easing to inject close to £1B of disguised state cash into the system. That artificial monopoly money is exactly what triggered the hyper-inflation of player wages and transfer fees across the entire pyramid. Football clubs, just like banks, car manufacturers, airlines, and utilities operate under strict regulatory limits. Every major multinational is restricted by how much external capital can be dumped into them by super-billionaires and hostile nation-states to protect market competition. Dressing up systematic sports fraud as a "Robin Hood story" is absolutely laughable. Stop parroting these desperate lies to protect a multi-billion-pound scam. What you did to the game is vile.
