Manchester City fans vindicated after club found innocent of almost 1% of charges
by Rich Smith 2 months ago 
Manchester City supporters have declared themselves completely vindicated today after an independent commission found the club innocent of almost one per cent of the financial charges brought against it.
After years of insisting that all 115 charges were a “politically motivated witch hunt” designed to undermine Manchester City’s entirely organic transformation into one of the richest and most successful football clubs on Earth, supporters say being cleared of one charge proves they were right all along.
City fan Simon Williams told us, “There you go. Innocent. Inn-o-cent. Exactly what we’ve been saying from day one.
“Yes, technically we were found guilty of the other 114, but I think focusing on those rather than the one we were cleared of tells you everything you need to know about the anti-City agenda in this country.
“The Premier League said we did 115 things wrong. Turns out we only did 114. Their entire case has fallen apart.”
City supporters have already taken to social media to demand apologies from rival fans who spent years referring to the allegations, pointing out that the club has now been comprehensively cleared of 0.87% of them.
Williams continued, “If someone accused you of 115 murders and it turned out you’d only committed 114, would you expect people to keep calling you a mass murderer?
“Of course not. You’d expect an apology.
“This is no different, apart from all the murders.”
Attention will now turn to what punishment Manchester City could face after being found guilty of 114 financial breaches, though supporters insist any sanction would be completely inappropriate given the club’s spectacular success in defending one of them.
Williams added, “People will inevitably try to make this about the 114 charges City were found guilty of, because apparently facts only matter when they support your preferred narrative.
“But ordinary football fans know what really matters here.
“Why is nobody talking about the one we didn’t do?”
