Perhaps we should initiate talks with Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus about the ESL. If this countries teams don’t want us to play let’s just fuck off.

Not a bad idea.

Jurassic Park ?

My bad. David Attenborough.

We've already been fined by Fifa for the supposed payment of youngsters, under age trafficking?

Pretty sure Jadon Sancho father has also dismissed it as bullshit.

There was the case of the Argentinian kid whose family moved to Manchester and City gave his dad a job… whatever happened with that? Didn’t see anything wrong to be honest.

This is a good article for the "Why aren't we taking legal action?" crowd.

A Slaughterhouse Helps Explain Why Manchester City Has Not Sued Der Spiegel Over Its Hacked Emails

If Manchester City feels there are illegally obtained materials being used to deliberately tar its name and it has top lawyers at its disposal, why isn't it suing?

Pep's team talk sorted for Sunday then :)

Exactly. Why would they hold anything back?
The main revelation seems to be that the PL is investigating us for the same things as UEFA investigated us for. It's hardly a big scoop is it?!

There is something new. An email that appears to contradict evidence given by our witnesses from Simon Pearce. That’s about it. No context either

The story is dropping like a stone on the Daily United website. Near the bottom of the page now. They must be tired of the rehashed story as well, bar featuring it. It’s run out of fuel again. Nowhere near as many comments as there used to be from rival fans. Many comments from City fans noting there’s a big game this weekend. It will die a death over the next couple of days.

City play attractive football irrespective of anything. It's obvious this is a Fenway coup through Klopp to undermine us. We must stay strong.

In fact. Dont we get this sort of story at every end of season run-in? It sure does feel familiar

Might be interesting to dig out the stories from past season run ins to compare the timing.

sick of this now - 3 pronged response

1/ lawyer up and tie all Der Speigel's funds for years defending themselves from being ground into the dirt
2/Bring up all Bayern's previous PROVEN misdemeanours where officials have been done to show how squeaky clean German football isn't
3/ Challenge this provider of this new evidence direct - prove it or see you in court
