Football Leaks/Der Spiegel articles

[Prestwich_Blue]

To be honest mate, it increasingly sounds like Uefa aren't the bogey man we have long thought?

The leaks, if nothing else, suggest they were putting on a show to appease the clubs we know have it in for us, yet were still on our side to a degree, certainly under threat of legal action.

Most pertinent are the emails from Platini to Vieira asking him to covey to our owner that they liked what he was doing with the club and to ignore what they would be saying in public.

We are part of the establishment whether our rivals like it or not.

I've always said that Platini wasn't the problem. I think his objectives for FFP were well-intentioned but he was a bit like a political party leader who's at the mercy of their backbench MP's. We all know who really runs UEFA.

Bill Cash?

We are the Donald Trump of football. No matter what we do the media and vested interest groups are unwilling to accept our legitimacy.

Please don’t ever compare us to that racist/facist. Thanks.

Hope we spend about 300 million on mbappe in the summer.

And it's about time our fans got a little militant again!

Never better when someone comes after our club.

We've been able to sit back and enjoy the football and trophies but time for us to back the lads a little louder and show our teeth again.

Just watched Peps interview from today and I’m sat in 326 so usually see some press sat around us, ladyman is getting it both barrels tomorrow if I see the ****. No one interested in the fuckings rags sponsorship deals or trying to see their accounts in the Cayman Islands.

Isn’t this the **** who was making jokes about the Thai guy the day after his death at a memorial and he was overheard when they were off camera? About sums him up.

If there's one thing we can learn from these leaks at least it's that the majority of opposition fans are incredibly bitter and thick. Seen some amazingly deluded or plain fabricated accusations/comments in the last few days.


Hardly a revelation, we've always known this surely ?

Jealousy from the position where we have developed to after the takeover - the fucking braindead rags, dippers at al have been foaming at the mouth incessantly .

We are so lucky that HRH chose us , and our fans know it.

People are too quick to dismiss Simon Mullock's article. He appears to have some contacts.

If it is true that he has contacts, then it is interesting that he states how Tebas (La Liga president) and Bayern are the main critics in relation to ourselves and FFP. Or maybe I am adding two and two and getting five.

It will be interesting how both we and Abu Dhabi react. After all, someone has hacked into the emails of a senior govt official (Khaldoon) and others who work for the Abu Dhabi govt (eg Simon Cliff). You would expect the Abu Dhabi govt is furious with the hack. It could get very tasty or it could be behind closed doors at national govt level.

There is a rumour that a multi CL winner will be exposed as a drug cheat. If it is Ronaldo, my money is on La Liga being involved.

No industry in the world is stupid enough to reject billions of pounds being injected into it by a third party on a shaky point of principle. Their compliance in this surely means that no further action will be taken.

None of this surprises me at all. I always knew that our deals were artificially inflated. I don’t give a damn, either. Abu Dhabi consider the PR they get to be worth the cash, therefore it is a genuine “sponsorship” arrangement. That would of course be the gist of the legal action City threatened.

Those cnuts with their accounts in the Caymen Islands and Delaware never get the serious shit from the arse-licking sycophantic journalists.

Ladyman and the rest of the twats fully deserve plenty of shit from our supporters , and I for one hope they get it full barrel.
