🧵24/25 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟭𝟬 - 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁? The email cache I have analysed so far in this thread (linked in the first post) only pertains to the charges that Uefa pursued Man City for, all connected with the offence of disguising equity as sponsorship income. Since then, Der Spiegel has written a new article, with further email leaks that reveal: A Man City manager, Roberto Mancini, was paid “off the books”. i.e., to avoid recording all of the expense that Mancini cost them in their accounts and reporting this for FFP, Man City paid him from other sources instead, thereby committing more fraudulent financial reporting in Man City’s accounts and consequently breaching FFP. Agents and youth players were paid off the books too, thereby committing fraudulent financial reporting and consequently breaching FFP. Man City, its owner (ADUG) and a Govt. Department of Abu Dhabi (EEA) were all inter-connected with money flows and personnel. This is in direct contradiction to what Man City assert is the reality and contradicts testimony given under oath at CAS too. These emails likely served as the catalyst for a number of the charges filed by the Premier League against Man City, which covers ground that Uefa and CAS did not. Once I have fully dissected these, I will post a new thread with the analysis. I have not closed the thread though, which is capped at 25 posts. I may also add one more post to this thread in response to comments and questions. Please note, if you ask questions or assert challenge in a way that makes it clear you have not bothered to properly read and comprehend the thread in an open minded way, I won’t be responding. From past experiences, I have realised all that does is waste my time explaining the same things over and over again to people who can’t or won’t acknowledge it. If you have a cogent challenge or question that makes clear you have properly absorbed the thread then I will endeavour to respond in good faith. I truly value this. As previously mentioned, I will be creating another thread on ‘How Man City was let off at CAS’ where I build on the aspects raised here but instead, apply a specific focus not just on the emails, but on the outcome at CAS as a whole. I hope to publish this later in the summer.
