City are alleged to have manipulated their wage bill by paying Mancini £1.45million as his base club salary when he joined the club in 2011, but also rewarding him even more handsomely as an adviser for another club owned by Sheikh Mansour.
The latest leaks also purport to show the huge salaries being paid by City to their players. Leroy Sane was reportedly guaranteed £24.5million over three years when he joined as a 20-year-old, while Sergio Agüero is allegedly paid £18million annually, or £346,000 a week. Ilkay Gundogan allegedly earned €11 million (£184,000 per week) last year, according to Der Spiegel.

Here dreaming of an enforced relegation into League Two as retribution (hopeless but still let a man dream).
Now that would be funny.
Really, really funny!
I think that would keep me going in terms of something to laugh at for maybe two or three months.
