Next Leak is how Bayern told Der spiegel to find as much shit on city as possible

Pretty clear by now that Bayern Munich are behind all of this.

They just want their ex back don't they? It's the typical jilted ex girlfriend-bunny boiler reaction.

I hope Pep gives them both barrels, if he gets any confirmation they were behind it. He has a good relationship with them but everything has it's limits.

Next leak is how we don't cook our sausages well enough, and how Bayern owner Uli Hoeness' sausages are the best!

"..When City decides it wants a player no matter how high the price, even an automobile manufacturer with sales of 200 billion euros eventually buckles. Ultimately, Wolfsburg received a transfer fee of 75 million...."

First time seeing 75m quoted for Debruyne. Are they pulling these figures from thin air ? I think by the fourth part Spiegel has lost all credibility if ever they had one.

Euros at the time (including defered bonus performance payments) not pounds.

The Mancini payment may cause us problems with HMRC. However, he was employed as a football consultant by ADUG and Abu Dhabi before he was appointed City Manager - so it is probably related to that contract also being terminated.

Part 5 - A grovelling apology after the Sheikhs lawyers have a quiet word

Part 4 is trying too hard. Nothing to see here.

 

[without a dream]

I could have done a better job of part 4 using public knowledge. Thought they would hype up the centralising of costs into the CFG and look at whther any taxes have been offset by losses etc. If this is they best they can do with complete access to legally privileged conversations then they're piss poor journalists.

KDB cost €75m which was £54m at the time. They've not got that wrong.
