Football Leaks/Der Spiegel articles

I have to admit when the story broke on Friday I thought there must be a smouldering gun that was going to really put us in the shite, but as this has gone on it looks like this is little more than a rehash of old news.

..and it's the best they can come up with in spite of the hundreds of hours over many months trawling through thousands of e-mails. I'm not even sure that they even claim any illegality on the club's part.
 
Like Chris in London posted earlier let us keep our powder dry. I have been trying to keep up with the prophets of doom and scaremongers. Their selective snippets of self serving nonsense are pronounced as gospel and are hoovered up by the RAWK and Redcaff hordes. Then regurgitated ad infinitum by like minded loons.
Prefer to wait and see our measured response when surely we will address the licunae.

It has an effect though. Even none football fans ask me about it. I try and explain it but it's a bit arcane and boring. All they know is City are a very wealthy club and they just assume guilt. People have perceptions about City and if they have Dan Roan fronting a mike lecturing them about foul play they believe it.

I feel sorry for the City staff. They must be fuming at what has happened.

To be fair nothing has actually happened so Im guessing they are not showing an awful lot of emotion just getting on with their jobs

I guess. It annoys me as a fan to see this news. If I was working on this 'project' and then saw the was being reported I'd get very frustrated.

Helps to see City win 6-0

You'll be waiting a long time.

All this stuff is nothing more than a loaded question....

A "loaded question", like a loaded gun, is a dangerous thing. A loaded question is a question with a false or questionable presupposition, and it is "loaded" with that presumption. The question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" presupposes that you have beaten your wife prior to its asking, as well as that you have a wife. If you are unmarried, or have never beaten your wife, then the question is loaded.
Since this example is a yes/no question, there are only the following two direct answers:
  1. "Yes, I have stopped beating my wife", which entails "I was beating my wife."
  2. "No, I haven't stopped beating my wife", which entails "I am still beating my wife."
Thus, either direct answer entails that you have beaten your wife, which is, therefore, a presupposition of the question. So, a loaded question is one which you cannot answer directly without implying a falsehood or a statement that you deny. For this reason, the proper response to such a question is not to answer it directly, but to either refuse to answer or to reject the question.

Apologies for the long winded beating your wife stuff, but all this Bayern Munich, whoops! I mean Der Spiegel nonsense, is just one long loaded question in instalments, address them and you give them validity, and by doing so you're guilty.

So the club will do nothing.

Its a load of crap that has no legitimacy. They just made us stronger. The more shit thrown at my club the more I support them.

Amongst diehard City fans like you and me yes, but the club already has our loyalty. It has undoubtedly damaged our reputation, how much that travels beyond our shores, which is where the club is looking to grow, is questionable.
