Apart from Standard Chartered being fined $1.5 billion for money laundering for Iran their secondary sleeve sponsor Western Union were fined $586 million in 2017 and another $60 million in 2018 for money laundering for criminals.

In fairness, that is in keeping with the ethos of the majority of the clubs supporters. That's why they have a special bond.

Not sure but, from what I read on here, the written-off "ghost ground" development costs of £50m deserve a bit more attention from UEFA, Der Spiegel and assorted interested parties in my opinion.

Were given special dispensation by UEFA over that bit of fraud, the hole institution and its cronies are as corrupt as f--ck but the G14 tyrants have them in their pockets to ensure an unlevel playing field to ensure a money monopoly for the chosen few but City and PSG have blown a huge hole In that and FFP has been set up to stop both of us spending what ever wont on OUR DEBT FREE CLUBS @

Frankly the more City are criticised, the more ammunition they give us to compare with the far from clean other Clubs.
The media seek to attack City on non football fronts digging holes for the others to fall into.

Not entirely sure there can be too much issue with the comments:

“I don't know very much about what's going on with the investigations but all I can say is that we are strong advocates of the rules.
“We expect all the clubs in the league and all the clubs in Europe to comply. If they don't comply then there should be punishments.”

No opinion on City, and it's fair to want rulebreakers to be punished.

Then why make any statement that isn't different from any he has made before? It's done purposely to keep our alleged wrongdoing in the news and helps guarantee we will still be held guilty in certain quarters even if we are completely exonerated of all charges.

As oakie says just above, he was almost certainly asked during an interview. His answer is quite neutral - it's the Mirror that have shoved in the City stuff, not the Liverpool man.

Of course his answer would be neutral, rather like the neutral shit Wenger always threw at us. He's supposedly in Madrid watching with the 'to posh to wave plastic' fans of European royalty, cheering on their team. You would think he and the Echo could give it a rest, at least for the weekend.

The state of some of those comments underneath that Mirror article - this one was quality though:

I will assume you were unable to recycle enough hub caps to get to madrid...easy to throw insults, isn't it.

Perhaps you would care to comment on sponsors fined multi millions for money laundering, your own ffp failure and the dodgy way they got round that.

As for the moronic broken mirror comment, i'd say the slight damage you caused to a wall had far more serious consequences, and you still haven't answered the fact that City have had higher average attendances than Liverpool throughout most of football history.

Perhaps the plastic European royalty Trotskyists that infest your club could explain how they feel about someone investing in your club who's friends with Trump and donated to his presidential campaign. The United States has a far worse human rights record than Abu Dhabi, don't let that worry you though because you are utterly clueless about either country.
