What does that have to do with anything ha ha ha
What have I done to upset people on here? Is there a rule of a number of posts one needs before being allowed to post?
An old acquaintance who was a bookmaker from Hull was stitched up by the Local Press, he had a mantra from that day on, never trust the three P’s, the Press, Politicians and Police, some very dubious characters in those three careers.In the words of Charlie Hunham ''I fucking hate journos''
Don’t forget Truman’s for Steel and Volmax

He has a point to be fair."It boggles the mind that a club run so well in some spheres could -- if the allegations are true -- have been run in a way that was so craven, cynical, sneaky and downright stupid in others."
Marcotti shows his true colours after initially writing a supportive article in The Times - part of the Der Spiegel coven paying the leaker
"Football needs transparency. The first set of Football Leaks documents reminded us of this. This new batch does nothing of the sort. It simply chronicles past events of which most we were already aware. It might be amusing, but it’s distinctly lightweight."
What changed I wonder?
Please explain what is the fair point made inHe has a point to be fair.
City also had a third option. They could have done things completely by the book, failed FFP by maybe £50m more than we did, taken the hit and moved on. Those 2013 accounts, with the sale of IP both intra-group and to this third-party, controlled by us or friends of ours, were cringeworthy in some respects. And in the end, it did us no good as, thanks to UEFA's change to the calculation of allowable wages in their toolkit, we failed anyway.
I am seeing that sort of reporting around this more and more.... Pay respect to the club, the way it is run etc, then call them stupid for doing this stuff around ffp... They're asserting everything as fact now.Not sure if already posted, but ESPN (which means this will be widely read in the UK and US) are putting in the boot, as well.
Football Leaks paints Manchester City as money-grubbing cheaters
We continuously see our club vilified and run down by a concerted effort to damage the reputation of our club because we have had the temerity to challenge the nauseating clique. Enough is enough, its time to take on the corrupt uefa and the bitter jealous elite and prove how corrupt they really are.This abuse of us isn't going away, we've got to take it on once & for all.
Dignified silence and quiet words haven't worked for 10 years and in fact it's getting worse.
I don't condone the language but his overall point is that we did everything we could to increase revenue/reduce costs and it's come back to bite us on the arse somewhat. More than anyone else outside the club probably, I understand what we did and why we did it. Personally I don't much care but looking at it through non-partisan eyes, we've suffered reputational damage that could have been avoided. I don't think we'll suffer any more consequences than that mind you and I hope the club take the same ruthless, win-at-all-costs approach to whoever hacked us.Please explain what is the fair point made in

Looks like Marcotti might not be the only one changing his tune here.
That might just mean he’s not a sad bastard like all us lot on here every week and has a life hahaPrior to today’s 6 posts he/she had only posted 4 times since June 2013.
