But they were not cooking the books and committing fraud during that era which is Null's argument

In the real life when it's not involving a football team, it would be a criminal offence where the ceo/chairman could be facing a prison sentence for what they have done

Maybe that is why Chelsea get some respect unlike City, yeah they got brought out by oil money, but they did it all correct and by the books.
Same as Newcastle

If city were taken over in that "era" ie Fergy in the 90's/early 2000's, im pretty sure city wouldnt even need to have done the alleged cooking the books - spending a shytload of money back then was fair game. Rules began to change not long after Chelsea started winning with oil money.

yes somehow newcastle can manage to play by the rules (so far) while also improving despite having even more money than city.

city have ridden roughshod over the rules to such an extent that they now stand before the authorities with over ONE HUNDRED charges.

it's one thing being found with your hand in the cookie jar ... but city said "f*** all that" and just took the jar.
