Stoke City fans are voicing their frustration following the news that Manchester City has been found guilty of breaching 115 financial rules. This verdict has ignited a question among supporters: When do we get our FA Cup?

Tony Pulis, in his column, reflects on the emotional weight of this situation. He recalls the unforgettable day in May 2011 when Stoke City reached the FA Cup final, a pinnacle moment in his 50-year career in football. The match against Manchester City was significant not only for the club but for every fan who dreamed of winning this prestigious trophy.

Despite the 1-0 loss, the experience was monumental for Stoke fans, who filled Wembley with their passionate support, singing Delilah and showcasing their loyalty. Pulis emphasizes the dedication of the Coates family, who have tirelessly financed the club through thick and thin, making that day a shared triumph for the entire community.

Reflecting on the financial disparity, Pulis points out that Yaya Toure, who scored the decisive goal, was reportedly earning ten times more than Stoke's highest-paid player, highlighting the challenges smaller clubs face in competing against wealthier teams.

As the appeal process unfolds for Manchester City, the question remains: will justice be served for clubs like Stoke City that have fought valiantly against the odds?
