Really!! i thought it was household name in the publishing world. This is brilliant. All of a sudden, totally out of the blue, Carms is a Der Spiegal reader. It has 840,000 weekly readers, so over 82,000,000 Germans don't even bother to read it but Carms has it next to his cup of coffee and his "I hate City" mag every morning. Never (I dare you to prove me wrong) in all the years on this forum, have you ever mentioned them prior to this article. You must think I was born yesterday.

They either pop up on your NewsNow- I hate City feed or you've just googled them I didn't say i read it, i said i'd heard of it. As i would think a number on here have. I've also heard of the Farnkfurter Algemeine (yes, i did have to check the spelling) but i don't read that either. So just because i'd heard of a newspaper now means that incredible that i've never mentioned it before is it? Really? The reason i mentioned the article was because it was splashed, top billing on the sports page of the Daily Telegraph, who's editor must have validated the Der Spiegel article and felt it big enough and justifiable to print. That should worry you too, because contrary to tase partner BB, that is not a tabloid but a reputable broadsheet and i believe the widest selling broadsheet in the country. I read Time Out occasionally but to my knowledge i've never commented about that on here either. It that amazing too? i have nothing against PSG or City as football clubs. But with regards to what i believe to be the rotten to the core, cheating methods of the owners, well that's a whole different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you do want to see fair competition don't you? Don't foregone conclusions, 5-0, 6-1 thrashings start to get a bit boring after a while, and trying to tell us what a tough game its going to be before kick off when you has a bloke sitting on the bench who probably cost more than the team you are playing?!! It's just farcical. You do realise that IF we are found of any wrong doing, we wouldn't have done anything wrong in the Prem. It is only FFP that we are accused of (a rule that if taken to court would be found illegal), not anything to do with breaking any FA rules.

He's actually a very eloquent level headed journalist who always speaks sense in an even handed manner. I've seen him many time on Sky News press revue and he's well worth a listen. Your reply summed up his point, you are in denial, blinded by club loyalty. So i will try and state one more time; its not so much about the club, its about the potential illegal practices of the owners, no matter how you try to spin it. In fact, spinning the we hate line line really seems like all you guys have left. I just want to see the sport cleaned up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmine, i know you are very excited by City potentially doing wrong and getting in trouble for that. I get that. But please understand you have us down as guilty already based upon a newspaper report. If that newspaper was The Sun would you believe everything they reported - i believe that lots of people don't believe a word The Sun report. Straight up, if City are guilty of wrongdoing and punished i will accept that (though i dont necessarily believe in the FFP law). But please cease with your nonsense posts that we guilty UNTIL we are accussed AND proven guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with all those on here who like to knock us at the drop of a hat, have you not wondered why nobody else is agreeing with you? Have a quick read of this. It's not a lengthy article but gives a quick insight as to our finances.

Bredbury Blue Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) I think this guide to our FFP isn't too difficult for some of you in the lynch mob to understand, but watch and enlighten yourself. Colin Savage Colin is a massive Blue, and he is also described as a Manchester City, finance expert. With thanks to Man City Fan TV Colin spoke about whether the footy leaks documents tell us anything new about FFP and MCFC. Mr. Savage, during his 11 minute YouTube interview explains, in laymen’s terms the fact that City has nothing to worry about.
