No. They were all spotted on Hough End (including Beckham), and went straight into their academy. That's the official (airbrushed) line from the Ministry of Truth.

And the kid they tapped up that led to this is off to Everton according to today's press!
I bet @shackattack might have something to say about that.

Hmmmmmm...Hmm: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...g-academy-players-two-years-illegal-approach/
"They are not the only Premier League club currently under investigation. Manchester City face the prospect of similar or heavier punishment as they await the outcome of ongoing investigations into their youth recruitment."
The Telegraph have changed the story it would appear. It now just states:
As I pointed out in the Liverpool thread the press have been well briefed by Liverpool and United and they are gagging for us to be caught out.Ironically, one of the other cases it is looking into relates to a grievance Liverpool had last summer about one of their own schoolboys joining Manchester City.
Let's hope our process documentation is foolproof (unlike for drug testing) or we will cop a much bigger punishment than Liverpool.

Why would we get a bigger punishment for something similar?

When has that stopped the FA or PGMOL from dishing out harsher pushers to us than other clubs this season?Why would we get a bigger punishment for something similar?

Yeah I see that but this is different, if we get a longer ban for a similar incident I feel City contest it vigorously.

Well let's hope process documentation is rock solid and it doesn't get that far.Yeah I see that but this is different, if we get a longer ban for a similar incident I feel City contest it vigorously.
I'm told it's policy for us not to make the first move on inter-club kid transfers, then again, we don't really need to as parents by the score see what is happening at the accademy and want the best for their kids and approach us.
Process documentation has to be rock solid to dissuade disappointed parents from trying it on - so I think we we should be OK (touch wood!)
