This newspaper clipping is from 7th of June 1906.
“Manchester City Found Out.”
City had been secretly funnelling money through directors' accounts to make illegal payments, circumvent financial rules and gain a sporting advantage. The FA found they had “for years systematically broken the rules... by very unscrupulous means.” The Guardian
120 years later, Manchester City are engulfed in another historic financial scandal.
Different century.
Different owners.
Different rules.
Manchester City Found Out. Again.
So let me get this straight, their irrefutable evidence was that the AD Gov paid their sponsors & not them only for it to be completely dismantled by this statement made in 2015 by Etihad THEMSELF ⬇️
“The assertion that the Abu Dhabi Government paid for Etihad’s sponsorship of English Premier League football club Manchester City is equally false”
Speak soon 😂
For many years fans have been calling out what City were doing was clearly dodgy. Many in the media glazed them, praising their trophies, points tallies and success. One particular MOTD presenter couldn't praise them enough. How stupid must you have been not to see through it...
🚨 JUST IN: One person who is barely mentioned in the media but is a massive problem is Matt Hargreaves – United's director of football negotiations.
Hargreaves is seen as an embarrassment internally at United by many figures and someone who isn't fit for the job.
Hargreaves has made United look like a joke in the transfer market. The constant long negotiations to end up paying the exact value of a player which the selling club always wanted, overpaying for players above their market value and the incompetency in selling players.
