Not convicted yet I think. It’s your typical hugely protracted fraud trial probably.

Fair enough

We could do it now if we wanted with pep here but we are not ****s,we respect they are not our players to talk about,o would put my house in Khaldoon never doing daily public tapping up of players

I do not think we would do it openly in the press, although pretty much every significant signing we make is widely discussed in the press beforehand, but undoubtedly we will be discussing players, with agents prior to approaching the club. The way the world works and were no different.

Sorry to say that Beckenbauer did get away with it of sorts. Time ran out on his case in the courts due to the coronavirus and he was released. I read that he was seriously ill. Maybe that also had some bearing I just don't know.

Probably as ill as Ernest Saunders - remember him? Released from Her Majesty’s pleasure with dementia- only to make a full recovery.

Or "Fraudster's Fever" as we call it in my line of work.

There is one way of tapping up a player. That is by getting a paper to say that your club is interested in signing a particular player. All we have to do is say for an e.g. get someone in Germany that lives in Munich to go to these two papers 1st DE LOCAL, and the MUNICH EYE, and say have you heard that MANCHESTER CITY are interested in KINGSLEY COMAN, AND NIKLAS SULE. Every day a different person tells them the same story and what do you know it becomes the truth. Even though it maybe far from it.

So maybe we should start by playing Bayern Munich at their own game, and start unsettling some of their own players. Why not go to some of the biggest papers in Germany and release the same stories. These would be Suddeutsche Zeitung and Frankfurter Allgemeine.

Please stop shouting

The tapping could have been nipped in the bud by one man but he refused to sign a contract extension.

It's amazing this thread still have 6000 more posts than the Coronavirus one, the bottom-line for me is every player has a price for every team if Sane wants to play for City great if he doesn't move him on and spend the money on someone who does, it's not really rocket science.... as for Bayern Munich they can f@@K O@@ they are a classless entitled club that deserve no respect whatsoever.

If only that was true I would be delighted by that fee.
