Anyway cheated what exactly?

Distorted financial restrictions created to stop competition?????????

Fuck yea I hope we state fund the fuck out of buying Haaland.

Is this the same bbc who hide a paedo and were complicit in covering up his crimes? Robbing bastards should be giving back the money they are robbing daily for shit like the one show.

United’s PR team been in touch?

7 minutes ago.

Again, no name attached to the article.

It seems BBC United - Mediacity are now protecting the indentity of their journalists/writers.

Slowly but surely BBC Sport are stepping up the campaign against City when the opportunity arisSS.

Have they ever investigated United funnelling their revenues first through the Delaware tax haven, and now the Cayman Islands tax haven?

Have they ever investigated the hacking of City’s player database by Liverpool FC, Liverpool circumventing FFP, or Liverpool‘s association with Standard Chartered, who were find £100’smill by the US and UK Governments for money laundering and breaking Iranian sanctions?

At the end of that bs article is this
City's legal team did not want it reported that it was challenging the jurisdiction of Premier League arbitrators to investigate the case.
If that's true then we need to start taking action against these cunts

We are not good for business. It is known.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Only had to see their completely OTT breaking news yesterday

“Ten Hag closer to united move”

Followed by a load of guff that told us nothing we didn’t already know.

rag central that place.

 

[dickie davies]

I'd assumed it was thing about the academy in Denmark (?) as well, and therefore not new.

Think that could have been the FIFA charge when City along with Chelsea and the FA were found to be in breach of the regulations.
We followed the FA’s guidance which was wrong and were punished. Chelsea received a heavier punishment as they continued to break the rules
I’m sure Sancho’s move to us was looked at as part of the PL investigation

 

[1961_vintage]

Yep, they have no spine and are so far up the Rags arse not even a canary could find its way out. When he refused to speak to them they should have simply refused to show Rag games on Motd. But they went crawling even further up their arse.
its worse than ever, sending Stone on pre season Rag tours, the coverage the rags get, the anti coverage we get, the way they often use a photo of us for any negative story even when its nothing to do with us and now this today.
i say ban them inc Stone

Rag affiliation is worth a lot of money to these guys.

 

[markprendy]

The usual turds, Harris and MacKenna are all over this

 

[Ric]

This, from @projectriver, sums it up nicely:

 

[dadnlad]

Not that it would happen but has it ever crossed any of those media outlets to investigate where all this is originating from and who is pulling the strings on this orchestrated smear campaign,that in itself would be an even bigger story but most likely none have the bollocks to do it ..

they dont have to investigate who pays money into their own bank accounts

 

[moomba]

Why would the Premier league focus on Mancini who left the club before premier league FFP existed?

 

[Manc in London]

Anything new or is it the big standard attempt of trying to damage the reputation of the club.

At this rate we may be investigated re FFP after it has been abolished. I would think even UEFA could not be arsed.

Maybe we will be helped by the fact that the ECA has a weaker powerbase now that the SL clubs are no longer members.

Interesting that the Der Spiegel article referenced Abramovich. Irrelevant but clear what they were trying to do.

 

[Blueknows]

Pep to Brazil and city are cheats articles the rag scouse media couldn't be more obvious

 

[City_Sean]

I think the emails themselves are silly. But the timing, added to the fact that today clubs with history get access to the CL irrespective of performance shows why we invested heavily.

 

[razman]

From the Guardian

City would not comment on the allegations but sources close to the club said the new reports were a continuation of an “orchestrated campaign” and part of “an endless attempt to damage us”

 

[Newman Noggs]

The usual turds, Harris and MacKenna are all over this

It's odd that Der Spiegel have all this "incendiary stuff" and yet they decided to doctor some of the emails on which the original article was based. If they really had evidence of wrongdoing they wouldn't have needed to falsify anything. Once it was proved that even a single document had been manipulated, the whole thing should have been dropped.

Instead, the zeal and longevity of these "investigations" following nothing more concrete than a newspaper article based on at least one doctored piece of "evidence" tells us everything we need to know about the integrity of the process.

 

[wolviedinho]

Liverpool is behind this. Clear and obvious now. Maybe City need to start aiming at the clubs rather than the media. If we have real dirt proceed and if not make it up. Works for everyone else.

Release the hounds Khaldoon.

 

[BillCarlisle]

Here we go again. The guy in charge at Der Speigel must have some really serious issues with City.

 

[Norbiton]

Am I missing something or is it not surprising that a state airline like Etihad should receive funding from the state to meet its sponsorship agreements with City? And what FFP or Premier League rules does that break?

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Sick of it. The timing is totally predictable too. Fucking sick to death of this relentless assault on our club.

It seems to be OK for le arse (and the FA) to get a sizeable wedge from the state owned airline from Dubai.
