Back in 2014, there was a man who was already aware of the irregularities involving Manchester City. That man now runs FIFA. The infamous Gianni Infantino, then UEFA General Secretary, abused his authority, shared confidential documents and, in short, outmanoeuvred the Investigatory Chamber, doing everything in his power to ensure that both Manchester City and PSG would merely receive a fine, avoiding a deeper investigation that could have led to a Champions League ban. All of these details were also revealed through Football Leaks.
Given his actions as UEFA General Secretary and, more recently, as FIFA President, I can only say, in my humble opinion, that Gianni Infantino has become a cancer on football and should have no place in the future of the game.
Manchester City reported £949.4m arriving from sponsors over nine years.
The real number was £119.2m. Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), the club’s owner, forked out the remaining £830.7m in what the commission described as a “disguised funding scheme”.
City are alleged to have overstated their revenue by £854.5m over nine years.
We knew it was going to be bad. But this bad? No, it is on a different scale to anything the Premier League has seen before.

Fabrizio Romano has still not posted the 114 guilty verdict. He of coruse posted Rodri's quotes, amplifying City's defence & not aggregating the news. The selective silence & PR machine rolls on.
David Ornstein broke the biggest story of the decade, while Romano won't even acknowledge that it has happened. The stark difference between them couldn't be any clearer than it is now.
A coward & a lackey, only confirming suspicions about him & City held by many for years.
All of a sudden, you found your keyboard again when it’s a defensive post about the Man city 114 charges, after spending the whole of yesterday telling people you don’t post about non-transfer-related stuff.
Fabrizio, you’ve exposed yourself as a PR machine for illicit organisations. People will never look at you with the same eyes again after this.
Your entire reputation and moral standing have been tarnished.
