Club statement at the time…..But wasn't the cutting and pasting an attempt to pervert the course of justice?
It was a funny take on the results programmes in the 70’s on the Two Ronnies or something like that.That's an urban myth. It never happened and it was the subject of an article in a recent WSC.
There was the penalty shoot out in 2018 as mentioned but the thing is the scores are read out using the full name of the teams involved. So it would be Forfar Athletic not Forfar.
The Premier League though, unlike UEFA, do have emails that the Der Speigel leaks were based on, provided by City directly, as the High Court ruling showed last summer.It makes you wonder how the PL are getting on with their own politically-motivated investigation into City which they started after pressure from our commercial rivals. It is heading for four years now and they have not produced a shred of evidence that City did anything wrong. It was started at the same time as the Der Spiegel claims which were totally debunked by CAS. As is well known now UEFA didn't actually have any valid evidence so it is difficult to see how the PL could have achieved a different outcome. But in the meantime the PL has still managed to damage our club's reputation just by prolonging this total farce.
Precisely why I believe City are in safe hands for the foreseeable.Sportswashing is a totally fake concept. In the last decade the UAE has invested scores (probably hundreds) of billions of pounds in the UK economy. Apart from the Dubai tourism industry's major links to the UK there has been huge investment in our science, technology, renewable energy, and financial sectors. For example around 15 per cent of the finance sector in Dubai is operated by UK firms. Meanwhile the Saudis are one of our biggest trading partners with at least 10,000 jobs in the UK (mostly in Lancashire) dependent on BAE selling weapons. Why do we never see headlines about tourism washing, money washing, science washing, gun-washing etc etc?
Sheikh Mansour has personally tripled his money on his investment in Manchester City (even ignoring his huge profits from the Manchester science and property sectors). He is making lots of money. In fact he will soon be making more money from these new sectors than oil-related revenues which are in long-term decline.
Has that knobhead Kaveh proclaimed Nunez is worth double what they paid yet?Aaahhh which is the better signing Haaland or Nunez on SSN ..
There is a survey in the Express that asks..Which striker should the raggies sign to counter Nunez.Aaahhh which is the better signing Haaland or Nunez on SSN ..

I was thinking more Villa and Leeds.Think the rags should worry more about who Spurs and Arsenal are signing rather than Liverpool.
