Yeah, he had a mare last night. I cant see him going, hes less than 20 games into his city career, and only looked bad in maybe 3 games. Hes seems right under the spotlight though.

Mikel is the master of the dark arts coach. Pep is the headmaster.
 
Technical fouls are part of the game, I don't see what's the big deal.

Neville needs to pull his head out of his ***, some of us still remember how he conducted himself as a player.

The video of City toying with Southampton defenders by passing inside the box numerous times is hilarious. **** Mark Hughes how do you still keep getting hired.

What’s all this about? Been on holiday so not seen much till this!

Breaking | Football Leaks headline: Manchester City’s owners allegedly injected €2.7bn into the club over the last 7 years through its shareholders & over-valued sponsorship contracts which infringe FFP regulations.

More: Football Leaks alleges that PSG’s Qatari owners injected €1.8bn into the club, frauding FFP, and both Michel Platini & Gianni Infantino covered it up. This cover-up prevented the club from being banned from all European competitions.

And this, from Man City, is just shocking. They had negotiated a massively reduced penalty for FFP cheating. Then a Man City lawyer, learning of the death of a UEFA FFP official , emailed: "1 down, 6 to go."

Both clubs are alleged to have bribed officials - Infantino and Platini in relation to PSG. Ex-French president Nikolas Sarkozy was bribed to help Man City avoid FFP sanctions.

15 publications involved in this Football Leaks expose. Here are all the stories that have been published so far after 70m documents were leaked to Der Spiegel.
Ranges from Infantino to 'Super League' talks to FFP + Man City to Sarkozy, etc: https://eic.network/projects/football-leaks-continues …

Reports from Speigel about how Man City cooked their books and falsified their accounts to pretend they were self-sustainable. Knowing they did it isn't new: the granular detail is extraordinary. http://www.spiegel.de/international/manchester-city-exposed-bending-the-rules-to-the-tune-of-millions-a-1236346.html …
 
Oh boy you have a lot of catching up to do. We're in the middle of what might turn out to be the biggest scandal in history of modern football.

Lol I’ve only been on holiday since Friday afternoon. Miss all the juicy stuff. Especially Poppygate :)
 
I'm delighted by all of it, to be honest. We all knew that modern football s rotten to the core and that it's going to stay that way forever without a scandal of nuclear proportions that will make even tea ladies pay attention. And it looks like we've got one, maybe, hopefully, big enough that they won't be able to bury it like all the others.
 
It'll just knock FFP on the head, its the only sector where a owner/shareholder cant invest. The legality of it is why we copped a smaller fine in the first place.
 
And that's a good first step. FPP was always a farce, they sold it as some grand plan to protect the clubs and their legacy, but in reality it was spearheaded by G-14 richest clubs to protect their business. It was about old money trying to keep new money out, everything else is make believe.

Then maybe we can have a conversation about what would actually protect the clubs and their legacy, like I don't know, government mandated percentage of shares that are owned by supporters, Barca-style.
 
From Ducker this morning-

Colleagues handling Der Spiegel #mcfc allegations in my absence today but they're damning. Etihad paying just £8m a yr towards annual £67.5m "Etihad" deal - and rest paid by Abu Dhabi

If #mcfc Der Spiegel/Football Leaks claims are investigated properly by the authorities - and I won't hold my breath - and City are indeed found to be guilty of these allegations, the punishments must be so severe. Financial punishments a waste of time

Premier League rivals want Manchester City to be investigated after allegations of flagrantly flouting FFP rules #mcfc@JWTelegraphhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/11/05/premier-league-rivals-push-manchester-city-investigated-allegations/ …

I agree FFP was a ridiculous in the first place and never gonna work. I’m surprised all the English media haven’t tried to keep it on the low. But they have all gone big on it

:O

New leak: how Man City set up separate company to pay players' image rights, and then sent money from that company from Abu Dhabi to cover those payments. Took £30m off the wage bill.

Spanish league chiefs have called on Uefa to take action against #MCFC after new leaked files revealed the full extent to which the club are alleged to have deceived the European body over FFP. By @martynzieglerhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/la-liga-demands-action-against-city-after-scale-of-deceit-exposed-sw95fxp5h …


The hypocrisy of some Man City fans is brazen. It is one thing to disagree with the rules, and to lobby for them to be changed. It quite another to publicly state that you will comply while allegedly cheating on an industrial scale. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hypocrisy-of-manchester-city-fans-whose-loyalty-is-blind-to-truth-z5nxpwt8b

https://twitter.com/sportingintel/status/1060111897813508096?s=21Man City lying to media and harassing them to remove inconvenient stories: shock, horror, who knew?. Working to thwart human rights organisations too. (Ditto). Again Spiegel provides more details, plus when Pep *actually* signed

When @NcGeehan of Human Rights Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request at the #Manchester council, officials @ManCity got to review it. Club director Simon Pearce said: "I want to disrupt any momentum." spiegel.de/international/… #FootballLeaks

4th and final day of @DerSPIEGEL allegations. Say Roberto Mancini had two contracts when with City. Base contract with club was less than he got as an adviser to Al Jazira in Arabian Gulf League.

Has Delph been doing much for City this season? Found it odd that he was playing for England today but he was really good so can't complain in the end.
