Good morning folks, I will keep it brief. Go have a fantastic day.

Having learnt a lesson or two with lead times I ordered a batch of these 'carbon' @umbro tops at the start of the week because I have wanted to launch this one for a while now. As ever ALL profits will be donated to @MCFCfoodbank and what better way to do that with this beauty clubmerchandise.org/retro-um… We are still looking at a minimum of a two week lead time though. But please get your orders in to avoid disappointment

Back in the day I, and many other City fans, made it clear that for the #115 charges to be proven then a massive fraud carried over many years, overseen by multiple organisations and companies and headed by the people who run City Football Group would have to have been in place. The idea that such fraud and false accounting would have happened was simply unimaginable. It was absolutely crazy to think that accountants, auditors and the boards of many companies would be complicit in such actions still it baffles me and many City fans. We have, and for now continue, to trust the people who run the Club as all of the above flies in the face of any logic. There are now investigations into Manchester City by the auditor regulator - bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm93… So Manchester City is now perhaps the most invertigated business since Enron? Fans of other clubs are very annoyed, and I suspect City fans would be if the roles were reversed. But as a fan base we have nothing to apologise for. There are so many question marks hovering over the Club, and because of that us fans, that it becomes increasingly difficult to have a reasonable conversation on all of this. But the people who run the Club tell us that they will beat these charges. It wont be on a technicality it will be on a point of law. If they lose on a point of law and their efforts to clear their name and the name of the Club we support fails then I can categorically say that most of the support base will be as shocked and disappointed as any fan or any club. But what we wont do is apologise for being City fans. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. And until the moment of absolute guilt we City fans will lean into the stormy winds and make jokes, take the piss, rile opposition fans and generally make noise about being City fans. If YOU don't like that then that seems like a YOU problem. And what if the auditor regulator finds no evidence of illegality? I go back to the start of this post, I cannot imagine such a massive fraud happening, it does not compute. If they are guilty, then fuck them. If they are innocent....... In the meantime we City fans have one thing on our minds, supporting the players on the pitch.

And if you buy either of these all the profits go to @WeAre1894 Pop over to @ClubMerchandise and search 1894
