We play the tramps on Sunday, surely you must know how the week prior goes?
Monday - sportswashing
Tuesday - human rights abuse.
Wednesday - state owned.
Thursday - oil money.
Friday - sheikh Mansour has faster hands than a card shark.
Saturday - we have no sponsors, Abu Dhabi supply all the Benjamin's.

It used to be the same with the derby day build up but because the red mardarses are wank the press don't bother anymore.

You can set your watch with these pricks rolling out this shite, it's all done for the media love of them scouse cunts.

I really hope we pummel the tramps on Sunday and shut them and the press up once and for all.

I think the main one to be worried about is the talk of paying to sign youngsters, could end up with a transfer ban for that.

Been proven at CAS they'd never make the other accusations stick as it's all signed off during audits.

We've already been fined by Fifa for the supposed payment of youngsters, under age trafficking?

Pretty sure Jadon Sancho father has also dismissed it as bullshit.

It has been going on since they took over, we have continued to be the best run team in the UK and the world.

Our owners do not do anything to give these wankers oxygen, when they got pushed they went to CAS and won, now did the cheating allegations abate? No, they did not.

Do you still want them to sell up?

Sell up and be bought out by the sort of dodgy yanks that own the red shirts and what Chelsea will most likely get? That would be the end of watching football for me.

Nope, as with everything with Der Spiegal, old news from 2017/2018 and dealt with back then, think we received a fine and a ban from signing young players at the time.

Der Spiegal need to get a new copy and pasted chief executive on the issue, old bollocks from a proven corrupt fantasist magazine.

Remember they also published another rehash after the CAS verdict, suggesting new evidence was available, which they have still to show.

They use Der Spiegel, we are not going to use Daily Mail or any of the red media I know that.
We could someone like Der Spiegel who does everything for money

Could you suggest which media outlets we could use?
The club can’t control the media & it’s not worth spending millions to try & sue them all - they would use it against us. All we need to do is to ensure we continue to work within the laws/rules (which we are) and quietly continue on our path of financial & sporting domination. That seems to really upset the anti-city brigade more than anything

COME ON CITEH
 
Sounds to me like they’ve heard haaland is coming and they’re desperately pushing for a transfer ban. Probably hoping to rush it through for summer

Why?

Der Spiegal made themselves look stupid when we took their claims to CAS and won.

Der Spiegel is no better than a comic, why the fuck would you want us to sully ourselves with a rag like that?

Right?
All what you have said has been dealt with.

From what I gather it’s separate allegations re: youth players

The FIFA one, which I suspect you’re talking about, we took a fine in 2019 (where it looked like we may get banned)

These accusations would be dealt with by FA and PL.

We got a fine and ban from signing youth players from the PL in 2017 which would illustrate that it’s dealt with by a different body.

Nothing may come of it but it’s definitely the one i’m most concerned about.

Mate honestly, go and make a brew and chill.

This is just another pathetic attempt at derailing us and giving us a bad press at an important stage of the season.

Der spiegel have absolutely zero on us, nothing, nada, nish


As long as we have wealthy owners and as long as we keep winning things these stories will always be here.

And just to add, some German magazine must be upset moneybags city are getting haaland from one of their darlings.

In a nutshell.

I think that they used that line to cling to any credibility they thought they still had. It's far more convenient than admitting defeat.

Aside from the obvious fact that none of this is new, it was all thrown out at the CAS and that the statute of limitations has clearly been reached, it's important to state that City now have a good relationship with UEFA and Aleksander Ceferin in particular. Following the CAS verdict, Khaldoon had a convivial telephone call with Ceferin which put all this in the past. It's no coincidence to me that Ceferin was very complimentary towards City when we were the first club to formally withdraw from the ESL. It's my belief that Ceferin never wanted the initial charges to be brought against us and none will be now.

I am talking about someone like them and we don't have to like them. It is time to fight back
 
Not arsed one bit by of any of this. Only time I’m aware of what’s going on regards the media is when I read this thread.
Suggest others do the same if they want to live a stress free life. Fuck all will ever come of it and other fans whinging aren’t worth the steam off the proverbial shit.
 
Specific allegations. No I thought not. Enjoy the game on Sunday everybody and if we win against a very good team then by Monday this will all be literally yesterday's news. We all knew what would be coming our way this week, it is so predictable it's laughable.

That was my immediate thought, if the German press is anything like it is over here. It's probably because the German rags have got wind City are signing Haaland and it has hurt them. Dortmund might not be happy either. The timing of this is so obviously strategic, that it damages it's credibility, before you even start to read it.

I hope we do sign Haaland and I hope we face Bayern in the CL next season. Give them a humbling from the stands and a humbling on the pitch. They are overdue some payback where City are concerned.
