Football Leaks/Der Spiegel articles

SWP's back said:
Football leaks was saying they were looking at two windows for us and four for Chelsea.

Several newspaper podcasts have suggested that as they halved Chelsea’s they may halve City’s if found guilty. Or simply fine and advise against doing it again.

I very much doubt we will have a greater ban than Chelsea, or Madrid or Atletico or Barca.

Ooooookay.

You’ve no evidence that is going to happen and it’s just your opinion. It’s also one I don’t share.

If City are hit the hardest of the clubs I’ve mentioned that have received bans then I’ll admit I’m wrong. It ain’t gonna happen though.

The Times quote an FA rep that they are going to investigate. It seems quite reasonable for them to do so.

Whether there is enough/anything they can act on is a different matter.

This week I conducted an investigation in the work place.

One of the guys came to see me & said “im not a grass but x is on the gear” he couldn’t give me any other evidence just everyone knows it & I should test him. I asked him to make a statement but ahem he’s not a grass. He couldnt give me anything other than he knows he is so I checked the policy. Employees are to be tested if they have been involved in an incident or if they have grounds for suspicion etc etc

I investigated the complaint & followed it through to the conclusion but the point being is that you have to investigate if it’s worthwhile & there has to be reasonable grounds to go further.

Incidentally the bloke who made the complaint is a cock of the highest order.

Yes, I think that's the same as my opinion. The FA have to look into it, just as UEFA did/are doing.
 
I demand UEFA do something. Mr Ceferin promised he was going to do something concrete or do something about this concrete case months ago.
Guess what - quell surprise (how european) they've done fuck all because they can do fuck all because there is fuck all do something about. I suggest they shit or get off the toilet.
Der Spiegel look more like frauds every day - ahh well they got a few clicks and had a few United fans wanking in the hope they can nick our top 4 spot. Unlucky shithouses its not happening.
 
It's all rubbish, Speigel going over old ground as usual, does anyone think Puma would have done this massive £650m deal with City, if City had done any underhand dealings, dr Speigel spouting off doctrines of a jealous man.

The only bit of the story that you need to read:
"So far, the football associations have not used the material provided by Football Leaks for their own investigation. As long as that remains the case, Manchester City doesn't have much to fear."

Thank you and goodnight.

Yep but these so called leaks will just keep on coming for ever.

So with these email leaks anybody can make up anything and print it with the link to the peace of shit German paper email links and they are covered! City need to do something or these emails will just keep on coming and even make up more lies!

Typical of the media don't you think?
Usually they print their own lies rather than referring to other known publications.
Short of fighting fire with fire and disclosing our own "alleged indiscretions of certain editors" or similar what can be done?

I'm becoming more relaxed about these "leaks". Having re-hashed and re-hashed old ground they are now simply presenting possible adverse scenarios of the sort rival fans dream up on forums every day.

The more they repeat themselves, the less impact it has and the less mainstream coverage it will get.

They aren't lies.

It's obvious we got hacked, they have the emails and are going through our dirty laundry.

If you believe a massive newspaper in Germany would just invent everything published so far then you're more deluded than a flat earther or one of those people who thinks the world is 6000 years old and dinosaur bones are put their by God to test our faith.


Now that doesn't mean they've unconvered anything truly significant or anything that'll really damage us
Their articles are certainly written with the target audience of the hysterical pompous German football fan in mind and that's annoying but it's not lies.

As for the latest batch I'm not overly concerned as it even includes emails between Premier League officials and Simon Cliff so they were obviously aware of it.

You mean the massive German newspaper that sacked at least one journalist and suspended at least 2 others for inventing stories? That paper?

Every newspaper big enough to be reputable or has done that at some point and it was miles away from the football leaks people.

What that guy did was invent some interviews for background on big pieces, that is a million miles away from inventing emails between real life people who could easily disprove accusations.

Not to mention the massive newspaper in France who corroborate these stories, and the fact that City have taken no legal action whatsoever.

I mean christ the club didn't even bother with a denial. The leak is real, the documents are real.
