All this because a business was given investment.
That's what makes it so ridiculous.

Add investment to almost any other sport even, not just business, and people would applaud it.

Can you imagine anyone kicking off if Anthony Joshua bought a better gym to train in than the rest and hired the best trainers.
Or sports England if someone wanted to invest a billion pounds into UK athletics for eg.

Add to that that FFP was brought in to stop clubs running out of cash and going bankrupt apparently!

Exactly.

It's quite pathetic that so called investigative journalism would waste its time on something so trivial compared to the many more important problems and injustices in the world.

The only "crime" that CIty have been accused of is juggling a few numbers with € or £ signs in front of them, to try and comply with a set of arbitrary rules about a few numbers with € or £ signs in front of them.

City know what they are doing and do not need advice from us. I was one who wanted Platini et al hauling before the international court in the Hague and disembowelling in public back in 2014, but the club listened to cooler and wiser heads than mine! We took Khaldoon's "pinch" and the setback was temporary. In the medium and long term FFP is hardly a blip in our ascent. The DS "revelations" are annoying, even infuriating, but they are also quite satisfying because they are the frustrated rantings of those who know they have lost - Puma will happily tell them that. UEFA have shown no interest in doing anything and, in fact, they seem to be the ones hoping the whole affair goes away. City will not go to court unless they have to and if they have to it will not be over hacked emails but because FFP looks like being a real problem. This is very unlikely but City will go right to the heart of the matter and challenge the limit on owner investment involved in FFP, and a limit on such investment is explicitly prohibited in law.

The rags are already getting financial backing from the Saudis.

True , but it doesnt attract clicks

If you want to read some bitter shite comments about these latest leaks, look on the Mail online story. Apparently rags and scousers aren't bothered about any trophy we win, those comments would say differently. Pmsl.

It’s telling that it’s the most shared story on their sports page. Giving the lemmings who read it hope that City will face some type of sanction. Sorry lads it ain’t happening.

As do Liverpool, indirectly — they structure invetment agreements so that they can say they do not “directly” receive money from a foreign state.

They are happy to take their money and bemoan “state-ownership” for us and PSG.

Clicks and shares makes them money and City are fair game to be written about to pedal opinion over matter of fact.

How many things are City apparently being investigated over I’m starting to lose count.
