There is a link in that article to one from Banned Dan last year in which he sneers that City fans don't believe him and the rest of the haters:
"With their team the reigning Premier League champions, top of the league, and known for playing some of the best football that the English game has seen, most City supporters will refuse to allow allegations that their club deceived Uefa over financial fair play (FFP) rules to detract from pride in their club.
Nor will claims - however concerning - that executives ignored internal warnings about the reputational risk of striking a sponsorship deal with a Dubai-based construction company accused of mistreating migrant workers, and that a director sought to delay a response to a Freedom of Information request from a respected human rights expert over a commercial deal with the city council, have spoiled the fans' enjoyment of yet another convincing victory.
City supporters are used to such scrutiny of course. They have grown accustomed to the suggestion that owner Sheikh Mansour's spending spree over the past 10 years has devalued their on-field achievements and enabled them to buy success. That their club is being used as a form of 'soft-power', to improve the image of a repressive regime in the United Arab Emirates that continues to be accused of human rights abuses."
This cockroach's other droppings also continue to sprinkled into BBC coverage -
I must have missed the change in the legislation to make a delayed (allegedly) response to a freedom of information request a major crime.
Shame the media haven’t paid enough attention to the threat made to Karius, Robertson etc from those brilliant fans at the Cult Club.
