See this for what it is - a state nation owned club attempting to use it's power to get its way by any means necessary. 'Tyranny of the majority' is their authoritarianism vs their attempt to destroy the Premier League's democracy. They are not oppressed, nor victims of 'discrimination' - they are looking to circumvent the rules they signed up for because it doesn't suit them, have been caught breaking & now seek to destroy any remaining semblance of competitive balance there is left. Utilising the political strategy of claiming to fight the establishment as a plucky underdog when you're actually a state owned sportswashing project is also a considerable reach. Threatening to make their own fans pay if they don't get their way in the form of increased tickets prices, cutting women's football, youth development & community programs as further punishment. You also shouldn't need to challenge financial rules if you are so adamant that you have so successfully operated within them. They are a stain on the game who belong in the amateur leagues as punishment for what they have done. Well done to the 10-12 clubs who had the courage to stand against them, further reminder that everyone knows exactly who City are - corrupt cheats who have ruined English football. If you cannot see now how dangerous this is as a threat to the league itself, you are not worried enough.
