Martin Samuels described Hoeness as a "self entitled German crook." Perfect.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

Got a good contact at City. Tells me stuff every now and again. Told me Pep decided to come to City when he was Manager at Bayern.

Can you please tell your contact that it was great planning by the club and we are all enjoying it :)

You could look at it that way, but from what I can see UEFA haven't done anything wrong and neither have we. Negotiating a settlement agreement is part of the process for all clubs who are found to be in breach of the FFP regs so there's fuck-all anyone can do. If they think the punishment was too weak then that's a piss-poor argument because it's UEFA who decide on the punishment, not some mouth-foaming fuckwit baying for blood.

And other clubs had the opportunity to formally raise a protest against any agreed settlement but none did.

Is the contact called Pellegrini?

Main stream media, news and current affairs is dying on its arse. The only thing it has left to sell is outrage.

People who want real news no longer buy it.

It is a damn shame and I am very wary of what is replacing it but you can't fail to see that it's demise is of its own doing.

Most media has stopped delivering pure news and presents its views of news as actual news.
It used to be only headlines or paper sellers version of headlines that sold their product now we get the whole story deliberately skewed to their researched readership.

Desperate times for some with the need for a cash injection to assist their need to change to the digital world.
Good job ffp not in the real world, because all they need now is someone prepared to invest in their dying businesses.

Martin Samuels should be given a round of applause on Sunday

Serriously I'm still laughing after reading part 3. Serriously, according to the article, our PR department - despite all evidence to the contrary - really are PR ninjas!

Jordan was claiming that City and Chelsea are "artificial" clubs the other week on there so that's nothing new coming from him. Someone on here said a City fan phoned up and ripped him a new one. The bloke is a fucking clueless wanker and is probably up there with the worst of them when it comes to shit owners of football clubs. Why the fuck he gets invited onto The Debate on Sky to talk about on-field matters is beyond me

Because he's yer actual Cockney spiv, that's why.


And he's cheap.

I presume that’s because they knew FFP was on dodgy ground and that we’d knock the cheating edifice into oblivion

If there are any leaks regarding another European club besides Manchester City then you can bet it will be Girona.
