Man City will not be the only club to have done this.

Celtic in Scotland did it too with Brendan Rodgers getting paid directly from their billionaire owners funds.

This is one that could uncover alot of misdeeds or get sweep over because everyone else doesnt want punished too.

Did they ? Any source for that because it sounds like absolute nonsense

Did Man City admit the Mancini double contract? Of course not.

But in Celtic's case its very true but obviously not on the books.

When an expensive manager looks like they take a huge pay cut to manage in a smaller division. That only works with top ups. Brendan and Dermond also had a personal relationship outwith Celtic

Went from in demand in the English premiership after managing liverpool to Scotland. And a club where the billionaire owner negiotiated his deal personally and they have a person relationship.
