Very possibly true, and it does seem like a gift from the heavens but…..If you have a top secret dossier full of kompromat, you don't wait until you've been very publicly charged with 115 offences and had your reputation destroyed in the media before using it.
what if you’d been trying to reason with the PL before the charges were brought, basically offering a quid pro quo “look lads, you think we’ve been cheating, we CAN prove we haven’t, albeit only after the relative lottery spin of a tribunal/hearing, neither of us wants to go down that route especially as we have documented proof of your collusion and corruption, so why don’t we draw a line under the whole thing with a simple press release along the lines of “we have thoroughly investigated City and are comfortable there is no case to answer. Case closed.” Only for the PL to throw as much made up shit at you as possible and try to sandbag you by releasing the news to their friends in the media before they even informed you themselves.?
Yes, it’s a stretch and almost certainly not as wonderful as we would all like to think but I, you, and every other City fan has had 9 days of shite poured down our throats by our avowed enemies so I say let a lad dream for a few minutes.
Yes, but the OP doesn’t say when we got hold of it, er…if we did.If you have a top secret dossier full of kompromat, you don't wait until you've been very publicly charged with 115 offences and had your reputation destroyed in the media before using it.

The recording could be from last season mate, it might not even have been a game from this seasonTo be fair, it's taken the PL 4 years to charge us. This "incident" - assuming there's any truth in it - happened in a recent away game (I'm sure we can all guess which one) so if City have been sat on anything pertaining to that, we've not been sat on it for long.

I've heard similar tales of City's collation of material - I suppose they were hoping the charges wouldn't be brought - as indeed they shouldn't have been. It was I think a silent deterrent that any right minded body should have known was possible. If true - going to need a bigger popcorn!If you have a top secret dossier full of kompromat, you don't wait until you've been very publicly charged with 115 offences and had your reputation destroyed in the media before using it.

Depends on whose orders they were acting under ; )
I often wondered why no-one had hacked into the ref/linemen/VAR comms. There would be a hell of a story in that I would imagine.
