I'm not a major conspiracy theorist but I've no doubt that dark forces are at work trying to make City's life difficult. The problem they face though is that in the grand scheme of things you simply cannot stop a massively rich owner investing in his business in a capitalist society.

The Illuminati strike again.

Pep Guardiola has said whatever he achieves with Manchester City will not be tarnished by recent Financial FairPlay allegations. He also hopes the case is finished as soon as possible. "I trust what the club has done."

“The club made a statement, so I can't add any more to that. The club are open, hopefully it can finish as soon as possible. I trust a lot what the cub has done, because I know them and hopefully they can solve it as soon as possible."

I got to agree with Pep here. Why should anyone think City's reputation is damaged just because of some stolen emails.
Makes no sense whatsoever.
This whole Der Spiegel leaks thing smacks of an agenda.
I seriously think Liverpool fc and Arsenal are behind it.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Seriously no idea why anyone bothers with MSM nowadays...

 

[Eds]

There are wider ramifications which could come?

Our players have signed contracts which are loaded with achievable bonuses, plenty linked into Champions League participation and success, to top up lower basic wages.

Incidentally, with regards the claims over commercial rights via Operation Longbow. Arsenal have been using similar vehicles to siphon commercial and image rights as part of salary packages for 20 years to tax havens.

Guess which other club also does this via Cayman...

Can I have some time to think this one over...

No offence taken pal. The majority are ****s or frauds. I'm ashamed to be a journalist these days.

Well, you should not be. The best are very good and serve an important function in a free society. Problem is there are also a lot of shits and charlatans and social media and the need for newnews 24/7 gives them an opening. Many are lazy and don't check facts and sources. This story will sift the sheep from the goats and we will see who is genuine and who is plying an agenda.

 

[SWP's back]

Nope, looking at this years rankings (if I've understood it right) Real Madrid will get more than us this year, even if we win it. So will Liverpool (because '5 tiimmmeeesssss la')

I’ve had a look and I don’t think so.

 

[Jamoid]

As a City fan I have no problem with what UEFA are doing the problem I have is that there are other clubs that are millions and millions in debt yet UEFA turn a blind eye

That's all it is, and not just confined to this country. You see it with Trump who, in essence, is actually not far from the truth when he labels stuff as Fake News.

They jump on the bandwagon, give it another twist or spin, dress it up as informed or a new story, citing nothing more than their own sources and insiders.

They don't exist, it's just keeping the pot bubbling and driving an agenda.

City are a bit like Trump, the levels of news hysteria are driven by the fact that the majority don't like him, so it serves an end game. That, or they appeal to the masses, which drives profits anyhow through clicks.

Don’t ever compare or write trump and city in one sentence.
Thank you

Well I'm all for competitiveness. What is the point of football if it's the same clubs challenging all of the time?

you might be but your club isn't. they build the biggest stadium then start a motion that all clubs keep the gate money. what will they do buy the best players for rivals out of the takings? I think not. they didn't even play in the FA cup once (Google it) in order to chase the money. worse club on the planet for total greed.

Thank you

You just did ;)

The premise of my argument remains solid. City can't win. Neither can Trump.

Oops, done it again!
