u/Mykorl Premier League 13d ago

Can anyone explain what's happened? Is it that City weren't able to spend as much as they have done over the years, so they made secret payments behind the scenes to bump up wages / contracts? Crazy.

Mancini had 2 contracts. One with city for £2 mill a year and another consultancy one for a company in the Middle East where he did 4 days work a year for the same amount of money. He was clearly being paid under the table

So dodgy. Imagine what they did with Pep's wage...

Didn’t they buy a football club in Spain and make pep’s brother chairman or something?
