So in summary for a simple soul like me.
FFP was muted a few years ago to stop another 'Leeds' overreaching. Then, when the new 'dirty' money came into football UEFA changed the FFP rules to try and stop these upstart clubs breaking into the cartel and spoiling the cash cow that the Chumps league had become. City therefore could not grow organically but had to spend quickly to try and catch up with the clubs who had been monopolising the big tv money for decades. In a normal business world this injection of capital is very normal but apparently football prefers teams with huge debts than new money coming in which would obviously be a good thing in any normal non corrupt business.
So, City spent. UEFA got grumpy and investigated and we were found guilty after the goal posts were changed on the small print around wages. An agreement was then made with the head of UEFA after City threatened a public trial for a minimal 'face saving' penalty. We took our pinch.
Now, a criminal hacker has made public through a German paper a load of City e-mails intimating that City were not completely open about their accounts when we were initially investigated. City appear to welcome this new investigation so the rumours can be put to bed.
So, in short, a corrupt organisation which is trying to protect its cash cow has been given stolen incomplete out-of-context documents and are starting another investigation against a club that does everything in the right way. Well done UEFA, top job.
This all seem about right ?
No it doesn’t. It’s like apple and orange (pun intended)You just did ;)
The premise of my argument remains solid. City can't win. Neither can Trump.
Oops, done it again!

Pep answer to that Bbc C\/NT should of been ¥NITED selling rotten meat didnt tarnish there club.
WolfieThat’s all well and good, but who’s going to vouch for you ? ;-)
The BBC coverage has been sub-standard and appalling. They have simply repeated the Der Spiegel allegations repeatedly without any context. No mention of Rui Pinto, no mention of the ongoing legal challenges to FFP, no mention of the background ie the FFP designer Platini being suspended from football for corruption, or the battle between UEFA and FIFA over a new club competition. All we get for our licence fees is juvenile comments from fools like Simon Stone. It's truly pathetic.Had this on the BBC this morning. "Numerous sources are reporting ..." bollocks. It's just to make it sound like something serious has definitely happened and they can report it as news instead of what it actually is ... rumours and accusations from one place.

You should be ashamed calling yourself a jurno when you can’t properly compare theses two. Your argument is baseless and amateur at best .Just stick with transfer thread with your fucking YouTube videos.
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.
