The independent commission report into Manchester City's alleged breaches of financial rules says the club relied on 'sham contracts' to artificially inflate profits by over $1.1 billion 🤯

[Mark Ogden @MarkOgden_]

Man City received £949.94m in commercial income from Abu Dhabi sponsors between 2009-2018. Only £119.25m came from sponsors -- the remaining £830.69m were "Tagged Sums" paid by Abu Dhabi United Group (City's owners)

The Untold Pep Files: A Story of Drugs, Referees, and Dark Money in Football👇

Imagine a story so massive it makes the Lance Armstrong scandal look like a warm-up act. It starts with a single player, spans across three countries, and exposes a decades-long trail of destroyed evidence, "miracle" doctors, and institutional corruption.
Welcome down the rabbit hole. 🕵️‍♂️⚽

CHAPTER 1: The Player Who Got Caught
Before Pep Guardiola was the master tactician, he was a midfielder for Brescia in 2001. That was the year he tested positive twice for the banned anabolic steroid nandrolone.
His defense? "Contaminated multivitamins."
Who was the man preparing those exact vitamins? Dr. Ramon Segura, the same physiologist who was working with Frank de Boer when De Boer also tested positive for nandrolone that exact same year.
The pattern was set early: win at all costs, and surround yourself with questionable medicine.

CHAPTER 2: The Barcelona "Miracles" & Operación Puerto
When Pep took over Barcelona in 2008, guess who he immediately brought in to lead the medical staff? Dr. Ramon Segura.
At the same time, Spanish football was shadowed by Operación Puerto, the infamous raid on Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes that uncovered 99 blood bags containing EPO. Fuentes openly admitted on trial that he had worked with football and tennis stars, famously taunting the court that naming his clients meant Spain would have to give back their Champions League, European Championship, and World Cup trophies.
The Spanish judge’s response? Refuse to let him name names, reject WADA’s appeal, and order all blood bags destroyed under the guise of doctor-patient confidentiality.
Add to this:
Journalists uncovering full-season "doping preparation plans" for La Liga giants.
Real Sociedad’s president admitting they spent €327,000 annually on illegal black-market PEDs.
Retracted slips on radio revealing players using growth hormones for "muscle recovery."
Spanish football's Golden Era was built, but the paper trail was conveniently burned.

CHAPTER 3: The System Expands — Financial Doping & Negreira
Winning wasn't just happening on the pitch; it was being secured everywhere else.
While the public obsessively meme's about Premier League charges, Barcelona was paying millions to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, the Vice President of Spain's Refereeing Committee. When asked in court to provide the "referee reports" they claimed to be paying for, Barca couldn't produce them. They paid off the referees' boss, plain and simple.

CHAPTER 4: The Bayern Friction
When Pep arrived at Bayern Munich, he tried to bring his hyper-aggressive medical protocols with him. He insisted on sending injured players back to Barcelona to be treated by his preferred specialists.
This sparked an explosive fallout with Bayern’s legendary physician Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, who walked out in disgust over Pep’s demands for unnatural, record-breaking recovery times. Bayern’s old guard refused to bend the knee to Pep's dark arts.

CHAPTER 5: Manchester City & The Ultimate Machine
At Manchester City, Pep finally found a club with zero moral boundaries to stop him.
The strategy reached its final, perfected evolution:
Financial Doping: Siphoning billions in hidden payments to bypass FFP rules and buy infinite depth.
Medical Anomaly: Key players like De Bruyne, Kompany constantly flying to Barcelona to see Dr. Ramon Cugat, mysteriously recovering weeks ahead of human biology norms.
Refereeing “controversies” and literally paying off referees like Michael Oliver.
When Samir Nasri got caught receiving illegal IV drip treatments in 2016, it was framed as an isolated mistake.
THE VERDICT
From nandrolone positives in 2001 to 115 financial charges and paid-off referee chiefs today... Pep Guardiola didn't just adapt to elite football. He systematically redefined how to cheat it.
You think Lance Armstrong was the biggest cover-up in sports history?
You haven't been paying attention.

Manchester United have suffered at the hands of selfish, self interested billionaires since May 12, 2005. £1.35 billion taken out of the club & pocketed, £1.3 billion servicing the debt they created.

They have destroyed our club & instead it is the fans who suffer, from the match going fans being priced out to the fans around the world who watch the soul of the club they love be torn apart.

Unity in the fanbase matters more than anything right now. Let them know how you feel. Hit them where it hurts.

Benjamin Sesko has 10 goals in his last 17 PL appearances, averaging a goal every 74 minutes.

Florian Wirtz has 18 goal contributions from 54 appearances for Liverpool, after signing for a total package of £116 million.

One isn't good enough, and the other needs more time. 👌🏻

Just because Michael Carrick doesn’t let rip in press conferences doesn’t mean he lacks “passion”. You don’t start off at five, playing in Under-9s five-a-sides at Wallsend Boys Club, getting beaten 14-0 and still in there fighting for a comeback without having a competitive nature. You don’t leave a loving, secure home at 16, move to West Ham, and make it as a pro without being driven.

You don’t become seventh on the list of Manchester United’s all-time appearance makers – behind only Giggs, Scholes, G Nev, Rooney, De Gea and Keane – win five titles for one of the most demanding managers in history, overcome a bout of depression, take and nail a penalty in a Champions League final without having strength of character. You don’t captain United for a season unless you have leadership qualities.

Leadership comes in differing forms. Carrick is a quiet leader, who will have his say behind closed doors, for the players, not for the cameras. Not for show. Carrick has a big job on at Manchester United but don’t doubt his determination to get it right. Because he cares about the Club, the staff, the players and the fans. Good luck to him. #MUFC

BCCI gets so much hate from foreign media for hindering the growth of cricket in smaller nations but reality is far different.

India is the country, which continuously tour Zim, Ban, Ban, Afg & all.

When, Australia didn't play a test match at home against Australia for 23 years. Just played 1 series across formats against Zimbabwe in last 2 decades, denied any cricket against Afghanistan with excuse of women rights & doesn't entertain Scotland, Ireland & Netherland at all.

Even here, they are playing a home series against Bangladesh for the 1st time in last 23 years & they didn't give them the privilege to play at SCG, MCG or Perth but playing against them in Darwin🤣🤣. This is discrimination of highest order, they would never do this against India or England.

On other hand, India just doesn't play against Afghanistan but also give hosting rights to Afghanistan for the matches which are being played in India just to help them making more revenue!

🚨 Peter Drury Breaks Silence: Questionable Calls, Cancelled Goals & FIFA Favouritism – Has Football Become a Scripted Show?

🗣Peter Drury

“After years spent analyzing football matches and commentating on the game at the highest level, I can honestly say that what we witnessed today between Argentina and Egypt was unlike anything I’ve seen in my entire career.

How that was awarded as a penalty remains a complete mystery. The contact, if any, looked minimal at best, yet the decision stood. It’s becoming harder and harder to watch the sport without feeling that the beautiful game is slowly turning into something of a joke for millions of fans around the world. The officiating has been strangely “clean” almost suspiciously so yet it leaves serious questions about consistency and impartiality.

Then there was Egypt’s goal, ruled out for reasons that still aren’t entirely clear. Why was it disallowed? In the same match, when Argentina scored their decisive goal, there appeared to be a clear foul in the build-up that neither the referee nor VAR chose to review properly. These are the moments that make supporters feel the outcome is no longer decided purely on the pitch.

There’s a growing narrative out there and it’s hard to ignore that Lionel Messi is being protected as FIFA’s golden boy. With Cristiano Ronaldo no longer part of the international scene, some believe the powers that be are determined to keep Messi’s story alive for as long as possible because his presence still drives massive global interest and viewing figures. Whether that’s true or not, the pattern of decisions in key moments only fuels that conversation.

passion, and the unpredictable nature of who wins on any given day. But when decisions repeatedly go one way, when valid goals are chalked off and questionable ones are given, and when VAR seems to miss obvious incidents, it starts to feel like something else is at play. The game deserves better. Fans deserve transparency, consistency, and the simple belief that the result is earned not influenced.

These are the moments that test our love for the sport. And right now, that love is being stretched thin.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

Kapil Dev absolutely shuts down Ranjit Bajaj over his 83 World Cup was a fluke" statement 🙇‍♂️

Kapil dav:- Ranjit, it is easy to sit on the sidelines and analyze a game you haven't lived. It is easy to label the hard work of others as "luck" when you have never felt the weight of a nation's expectations on your shoulders while the ball is swinging in English conditions.

Cricket is not played in press releases or social media soundbites. It is played on 22 yards of turf where the only thing that matters is how you respond when the pressure is at its peak.

We didn't win by accident. We won because, for those few weeks, we were simply the best team on the planet. If that makes you uncomfortable, perhaps you should spend less time dissecting the past and more time understanding the character it takes to change the future.

We've kept the trophy. You can keep the opinions.

🚨 Roy Keane on how they played football under sir Alex Ferguson:

“We didn’t play football under Fergie, we hunted. The moment teams saw us in the tunnel, you could feel the fear already setting in. They knew what was coming.

You want to man-mark me? Fine. Then who’s stopping Ronaldo? Who’s dealing with Tevez snapping at your heels for 90 minutes? And behind us was a midfield full of absolute animals who never stopped running, tackling, pressing.

There was no peace against that Manchester United side. No easy minutes. No mercy.

Fergie didn’t build a team of players, he built killers with a winning mentality. That’s why opponents folded before the first whistle even blew.”
