Spiegel online released the story about the euro super league which Marca are now running. What ever people say Marca (surprisingly) and Spegiel have not hidden stories which implicates clubs from their own league
What have none of the British ‘journalists’ or ex-know it alls not had their say. What a surprise!True enough, it's the British media which have failed to pick up on these other stories as they are too pre-occupied with City-bashing.
What a way to unite the AD and Q.differences.That is VERY interesting. Seems like us and PSG aren't part of the gang and it's the old G-14 who are running with this. I think we know now who's behind this presumed hack and who's behind FIFA's Club World Cup.
I would not like to be in Rumennigge's shoes at the moment. He's heading for a big fall if he's upset the boys in Abu Dhabi.
Whether it is or isn't, is broadly academic. This whole furore has but one purpose and that is to pave the way for the complete destruction of our football club. For Bayern and the rest of the little piggies, a massive fine, a transfer ban or even a temporary exclusion from the CL for a year or two, will not suffice. What they want is a situation where City are banned from European competition for decade, prevented from having any UAE sponsors or investment, and forced to sell the star players that we can then no longer afford to pay.
The 'revelations' are just mud-slinging to tarnish our reputation in the court of public opinion and whip up the appetite for that exclusion. UEFA's lot then will be to either try and enforce the G14's wishes, or watch the formation of a European Super League (which will not include us in any way, shape or form) take place outside their jurisdiction. UEFA are in an invidious position because they know that going to war with the Sheikh's lawyers might then completely cripple them financially and bring into sharp relief the corrupt nature of its FFP flagship (Annex XI, the subsequent revoking of the investment rules to suit AC Milan, the lot).
Regardless of the rights and wrongs, personally I'm finding it difficult to see this ending well for either City or UEFA. The people we're up against are our enemies, and they've always been our enemies and they always will be our enemies. The ultimate aim of Bayern's mates at Der Spiegel is not a settlement that is either legal or illegal, just to create an environment for action
Agree with all of the above apart from the outcome. Unfortunately for Rummenigge - for I agree he is the one behind all of this - he's not picking on the weedy spotty kid in the playground. We could buy his club and liquidate it if we want to.
United paid half and juventus paid half, it was in football leaks. So they paid about £110m in total.From what I recall, Juventus announced that they had received 72M euros for Pogba, meaning a very large wedge had gone to Raiola (the 41M euros sounds not far off). This payment was from the £95M (whatever it was) Utd paid Juventus, and not on top of it.
Read it again Colin, nothing great about it, pure poison actually. A lot of folk take notice of your posts, you need to be more careful.Great article from Rory Smith: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/09/sports/manchester-city-united-football-leaks.html
It's by far the most balanced one I've yet read.
It would be a shame if any information his wrong doings got in the public domain!Whoever flagged Mubadala links to Softbank has found the smoking gun, brilliant detective work.
Now you have established motive.
And guess who is playing both sides and sits on both the Uefa and Fifa executive boards?
That's right, our old friend David Gill. Who also sits on the board at United.
