When you say illegal do you mean criminally so or just breaking Uefa rules ? Allegedly

For the fiftieth time "His Highness" isn't Sheik Mansour, it is the Emir. Sheikh Mansour is "His Highness Sheikh Mansour ". Simon Pearce WOULD NEVER have made such a protocol faux pas in a billion years by calling Sheikh Mansour "His Highness"!

The whole thing is very tiresome because City have demonstrated how to make investment work.

That's the whole problem, its broken something that was essentially "fixed" for a few.

I really hope we win the CL this year, and then let them try and ban us, it would be hilarious if the cup holders were banned, it would completely devalue any credibility they still have.

They really are gunning for us aren’t they?
There wasn’t this much effort into Chelsea’s scandal, they did it, they got banned and no one gave a shit.

City might get banned? Better talk about it as much as possible and speculate why and how and what the punishment should be.

The mainstream media are all a bunch of ****s.

New or re-hashed stuff? I just can't get my head around these leaked emails. Firstly which daft twats at City were emailing such highly sensitive info & secondly who the f*ck are City employing to secure their network & look after I.T. security?

I'm assuming Der Spiegel have more of this sh*t & will release it at the most damaging times, for example before the summer transfer window opens.

If the club persists with their passive approach then wank outlets like The Daily Mail will continue to stick the boot in. Remember when Elton John sued The Sun ... The newspaper s left him alone after that. Nobody will leave us alone until the club make an example of somebody with SERIOUS legal action.

Meanwhile PSG can do whatever they like it seems ....

Honestly this pap doesn’t worry me. Been trying for ages. If they have something genuine, it will come out. I’d like to think it would galvanise us if so.

I see that @Ric and @Gary James are having it out with Duncan “The Empty” Castles and Nick “It” Harris on Twitter about DS’ constant targeted “analysis” and “leak” drip and their sycophantic coverage of it.

Well done to you both.

Though, you may want to save your energy and reallocate your time, as it is like playing tennis with a stone wall (and both of them are about as intelligent as one, as well).

Emails' in 2009. FFP came to plan in principle September 2009 and its regulations sorted for use in 2011.

I assume you can't retrospect legal action in most legal cases unless up agreed upon in the clause by powers that be during the regulations draft to include retrospective action.

Just wanted to say that Der Spiegel translates to The Mirror in English so it's not a surprise that their journalistic standards are down the shitter.

City issued a statement on Saturday night saying: 'We will not be providing any comment on out-of-context materials purported to have been hacked or stolen from City Football Group and City personnel and associated people. The attempt to damage the club's reputation is clear.'

This has been the same statement issued before. Nothing has come off it till now.

Any idea what will be happening going forward.

I have it on good authority that City suspected someone was hacking their email system so deliberately fabricated some “illegal” activity and emailed about it to flush out the hackers.

Seems to have worked a treat.
