The allegation goes that when compiling City’s accounts for 2012-13, the club’s chief financial officer Jorge Chumillas wrote an internal e-mail stating that, due to the cost of sacking Roberto Mancini, “we will have a shortfall of £9.9 million in order to comply with UEFA FFP this season”. Ferran Soriano, the chief executive, is alleged to have replied that this problem could be overcome if City could be paid the contractually stated bonus from their sponsors for winning the FA Cup.
There was just one problem with this. City had lost the FA Cup final to Wigan Athletic.
According to Der Spiegel, a compromise was reached whereby various sponsors — the Abu Dhabi airline Etihad, the Abu Dhabi-based fund Aabar Investments and the Abu Dhabi department for culture and tourism — would have their payments adjusted so that the shortfall was covered. When Chumillas asked whether they would be allowed to change the date of sponsorship payments, Simon Pearce, a board member of City Football Group and a special adviser to the club’s chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak, is alleged to have replied, “Of course. We can do what we want.”
TL;DR Give Gerrard his medal
I think Jose today has already spoken and alluded to it in hope of City's past victories, - it will be amazing though if this did happen, I mean we would get at least 2 titles right ? and United will get one, and poor Raheem !!! LOL - he gets stripped of his two recent medals and all the other cups - but will at least get a PL medal - only to be associated with Liverpool FC, rather than city !!! - oh it would be so fucking funny all of this.
