Football Leaks/Der Spiegel articles

It's all rubbish, Speigel going over old ground as usual, does anyone think Puma would have done this massive £650m deal with City, if City had done any underhand dealings, dr Speigel spouting off doctrines of a jealous man.

The only bit of the story that you need to read:
"So far, the football associations have not used the material provided by Football Leaks for their own investigation. As long as that remains the case, Manchester City doesn't have much to fear."

Thank you and goodnight.

Yep but these so called leaks will just keep on coming for ever.

Typical of the media don't you think?
Usually they print their own lies rather than referring to other known publications.
Short of fighting fire with fire and disclosing our own "alleged indiscretions of certain editors" or similar what can be done?

I'm becoming more relaxed about these "leaks". Having re-hashed and re-hashed old ground they are now simply presenting possible adverse scenarios of the sort rival fans dream up on forums every day.

The more they repeat themselves, the less impact it has and the less mainstream coverage it will get.

They aren't lies.

It's obvious we got hacked, they have the emails and are going through our dirty laundry.

If you believe a massive newspaper in Germany would just invent everything published so far then you're more deluded than a flat earther or one of those people who thinks the world is 6000 years old and dinosaur bones are put their by God to test our faith.


Now that doesn't mean they've unconvered anything truly significant or anything that'll really damage us
Their articles are certainly written with the target audience of the hysterical pompous German football fan in mind and that's annoying but it's not lies.

As for the latest batch I'm not overly concerned as it even includes emails between Premier League officials and Simon Cliff so they were obviously aware of it.
 
Does this latest 'story' not seem to step over the line (or even more so perhaps). It smells to me as if they're trying to goad City in to a response other than 'up yours bud'.

You mean the massive German newspaper that sacked at least one journalist and suspended at least 2 others for inventing stories? That paper?

Every newspaper big enough to be reputable or has done that at some point and it was miles away from the football leaks people.

What that guy did was invent some interviews for background on big pieces, that is a million miles away from inventing emails between real life people who could easily disprove accusations.

Not to mention the massive newspaper in France who corroborate these stories, and the fact that City have taken no legal action whatsoever.

I mean christ the club didn't even bother with a denial. The leak is real, the documents are real.
