Football Leaks/Der Spiegel articles

[Seedy Ron]

All this has to be the biggest pile of lemon sucking, agenda driven, dummy spitting out, holier than thou, bitter bastard outing, sauerkraut munching bullshit ever. Why can't we just f*ck off and leave the entitled to their trophies and slouch off back to mediocrity. From wife beating fuckwits to half baked journo's to undermined football clubs who have far shadier pasts than us it is City that have become the ultimate enemy. Why? Because we had the audacity to become the best as they tried to suppress us and failed.

To the non agenda monkeys on here tell me what the fuck this is all about. It's times like these you see who your friends are and apart from one or two we have a shitload of enemies who are falling over themselves to condemn us to all kinds of f*cked up penalties on a basis where next to f*ck all has been proven. A hatchet job of the highest order that has our detractors frothing at the mouth but will ultimately end with them kicking the cat. Though there's one of two who should just kick the f*cking bucket.

City are on course to become one of the most successful clubs in world football and they all fucking hate it! Suck it suckers!!!

crikey that's a bit thin. More of a "inner workings of [insert club], an international football brand". One for the business fan or very in depth football fan. A thought piece really, zero going on.

"Part 4 in this series will elucidate the strategy behind this global football empire and how the sister clubs are used for hidden payments and tax savings".

Part 3 English ver now

Manchester City ExposedChapter 3: Recruiting Pep Guardiola
The powerful men behind Manchester City don't just show up in the stadium, they also make appearances on the global political stage. Control is their top priority. They managed to lure star trainer Pep Guardiola away from FC Bayern almost a year before he took over Man City. By DER SPIEGEL Staff

I'm a little worried about this...

Bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Coffee over keyboard time.
Now I know that this article is total bollox trying to claim that City's PR department is a super competent controlling entity who are masters of the dark arts.
Yes, despite all evidence to the contrary, they really are PR ninjas.

Are you talking about those who said David Silva and raheem sterling were not good enough?

You forgot the Sergio is past it and we should get rid while we can, brigade ;-)

This country has laws around reporting on illegally obtained data.

They can't report it for 2 reasons - a) They haven't seen the data themselves and b) They've got to walk through a legal minefield to report on it.

So instead what they can do is report on Der Spiegel running a story which is what we've seen. It was the same with the Ronaldo rape allegations.

Yes, all the reports are "Der Spiegel reports", just as the Philip Green business was reported that he had been named in Parliament.
My thought was that the red tops don't seem to have waded in on this, at least from what's posted here.

Hasn't the Hoffenhiem manager agreed to join Leipzig? big deal. a non article.

And the current bayern manager knew he was joining them before the end of last season. In fact his old team played bayern in a final at the end of last season.
Odd how that's not mentioned.

Nothing in part 3 at all - most will already be uncomfortable with the Human Rights angle so digging this up smacks of desperation. Going all out in one article would have made a bigger splash than dragging it out.

Even reporting on the story from Der Spiegel is almost non existent from those outlets though which is suprising.

The only interesting thing in the 3rd part for me is that Pep signing at the beginning of October all but confirms he was behind/approving the KDB & Sterling transfers as we long suspected.

Chapter 3 is hillarious. Did they forget the years he was at Barc when we were grooming him to be our next manager.
Anyway, can anyone please show me any evidence where our sponsorship went up from £30-40m per year to £70m in 2015?
