We all knew the shitshow would be in full swing the nearer the match gets, the dippers will get none of this shit, just glowing praise from having the cleanest owners you could imagine, and a squad of local lads that cost fuck all
 
Perhaps one of the bluemoon big brains can help me out but what is the issue with Mancini's payments being hidden? Is it because the wages he was paid would have meant we failed FFP if they were 'reported correctly'? If that is the case then as we failed FFP and were punished what is the fuss about? Im aware FFP wasnt a thing but the wages pre ffp could have been used to offset the loses

Here we go again. The guy in charge at Der Speigel must have some really serious issues with City.

Der speigel would like to welcome Herman Klopp as the new editor n chief, sorry lier and ****.

The German Government started 2 world wars and murdered millions. Liverpool also caused trouble in Europe which ended in innocent fans murdered. Say no more.

It puts the BBC in a bad name. There is lots of stuff on that channel i love. Richard Attenborough and all the nature stuff, Brian Cox and all the science stuff, some brilliant investigative journalism from people like John Simpson and Jeremy Bowen. It seems there is very little quality/impartiality on the football reporting side.

I’ve wondered about the ethics investigation and what happened to it
Was it officially confirmed that it was dropped

It has not been officially dropped but I don't believe it was ever started. I am sure that UEFA knew all along who was leaking and were happy to let the information get out. Many UEFA officials are corrupt but most of them are not stupid. They knew they didn't have a case, that's why Ceferin tried to cut a deal with City, but to use Khaldoon's own words from our earlier FFP case we weren't prepared to "take the pinch" a second time.
Leaking the details of the probe got them off the hook allowing them to say to the cartel clubs: "We did our best it's all the fault of CAS." I wouldn't be surprised if the PL are using the same playbook. They have already been told by a judge that he won't accept any more delays.
The whole thing is no more than a smear campaign. Some of the the Der Spiegl claims date back 13 years FFS and the PL have apparently been investigating them for more than three years. They are just taking the piss. Leaking the allegations is damage limitation by the PL because they know the judge is going to dismiss their baseless claims just like CAS did. They know that the mud sticks with City whatever the outcome.
 
Sam Lee retweeted the Der Spiegel tweet without comment.

You'd think he, being the City correspondent of the Athletic would have rubbished it, and followed up with an article putting the record straight.

But then, his true colours have been showing since the recent Athletic takeover.
 
All so predictable a week before the Dippers biggest game of the season and the negativity is in full flow , it is so transparent i am amazed any human being with half a brain would even give Der Spiegel a moments thought.
But there are so many 'istree club pundits , fans , forums and arse lickers that want to believe it really badly , UEFA's, FFP farce was thrown out and so will every other investigation because it is basically a witch hunt against our club with very little substance or the Premier league would have acted instead of treading water for four years.
It will blow over until the FA Cup semi-final and any big Champs league games where it will miraculously resurface , its getting all rather boring , but at least it keeps the conspiratists amongst the brain dead haters of our club relevant.
 
Has anyone and I mean anyone in the media questioned the timing of this latest leak? Surely there must be someone with a pair of balls who will actually question why it’s being released today and who it is likely to benefit?
 
Woo hoo! We finally made it to the top of the BBC sport page..

Of course not. That would mean they would have to publicly accept they are being played

This implies that there is something new which hasn't been reported previously which clearly there isn't. The idea that Der Spiegel were holding something back before the CAS hewring just in case we got off is totally preposterous.

I hope Pep calls it out for what it is when Stone, Jackson et al question him about it tomorrow. We should use it to build a siege mentality amongst the squad.

I would like him to simply answer 'It's a big game on Sunday isn't it and our opponents have many friends in the media."
