Question is, if Mansour was putting extra money in himself that’s being hidden. What happens when the likes of Silverlake and the Chinese investment in the club does their due diligence before they invest? Both these private investors want a return on their money and won’t put capital in if they don’t see it as market value.

It’s too late for some of the City haters out there, the business model of transferring from investment from the owner in the early years to where we are now where the club stands on it’s on feet has been put in place. It will be funny to see them all start crying when the Co-op live arena starts putting money in the clubs bank account as well.

The confusing part for me is why they think City are paying huge extra sums in wages and transfers. Our reported fees and wage bill matches our accounts, and they're both high enough.

Do they think Phillips was a bargain, or that we actually paid more than £100m for Grealish?

The smaller squad means that wages per player can be higher than Liverpool, so who would we need to be paying more? Is there a club that wants to pay Cancelo £400k a week, but he's only staying with us because we're paying him more than that under the table? It makes literally no sense.

We've got one of the biggest budgets in football, have done really well with recruitment under Pep, and with a smaller squad can pay wages that match almost all other clubs. Given we're also the most successful team in the most high profile league, with a manager that most consider the best in the world, where exactly is the need to be hiding hundreds of millions extra in payments?

Don't use rational thoughts to try and explain Liverpool fans. They have their agenda and that's that. They'll ignore player sales, prize money and our actual accounts and just state that everything we earned has been inflated and everything we spent was reduced thanks to dodgy unaccounted payments. And let them think that. Let them "enjoy" watching us win by "cheating". They'll be dining out on how we didn't really win for years and years, whilst we enjoy winning. History will remember our success and will confine their "great" team to the bin before long when the media stops pretending they're on our level and people only remember the teams that actually won things.

We can all look back and see how Arsenal bribed their way into Div 1 and bought their way to success, even moving the club north of the river to get more fans in. But do their fans care? Do they fuck. Most wont even know about it. And their honours board doesn't recognise it. The same for the dippers and their pools money.

It's copium. They spent the 2010s not unfairly saying the reason we attract top talent is because we paid them more than the rest of the league and overspent. They've had a few bad windows, and we are attracting players as much on facilities, success and, literally, because they grew up as fans. Our wages aren't far off, so they're having to imagine defects that aren't there to explain why we bagged Haaland for £25m less than their strikers.
 
All these 'under the counter' payments they rattle on about would (if they existed) be certain to come out at some point. Footballers talk. And write books when they retire. I doubt the Sheikh and his managers are that naive. They would somehow have to be sure that everyone would keep stum for life, and that's a tall order. Maybe in North Korea, but not in the free world.

So many people seem anxious to believe conspiracy theories these days. World Economic Forum controlling everything. Digital money means the government will micromanage your personal spending. (Because there are civil servants with nothing to do but work out whether Joe Scroggs from Bacup is spending too much of his wages on Airfix plane kits.) Sales of tinfoil hats must be through the roof. Does anyone know where you can buy shares in tinfoil hat manufacturing? Next to candle factories, it must be the best investment.

The thing that gets me is they sat down in the early 90s and planned all this. Planned for the big money, and the global TV rights, and the cutting off the top clubs from the rest of the league. They just thought it would benefit them. They were the architects then, and continue to be the architects now. But one hint of global money being invested into a rival club and all of a sudden they're the people's socialist football club of Liverpool (not England) and are appalled at the idea of sport and capital mixing. No one who supports a premier league team is morally clean, you have to get pretty low down the league to get even close, but they somehow think they're above it all.

I find it strange that Yaya was very vocal about a birthday cake and Peps alleged racism but he never once mentioned the millions in illegal back handers paid to everyone.
