Reposted by BontyThe Tuesday Club @tuesdayclub.bsky.social · 01/10/2026We can see the year on year increase in M.City’s illicit funding up to £135m in 2018 but no info after that. Is there no authority with the power to compel them to be audited for all the years since? As if the dodgy deals didn’t continue. We hear about 9 yrs of cheating but is the reality far worse? 128712

Reposted by BontyPhilippe Auclair @philippeauclair.bsky.social · 08/08/2026It is striking that most of the "new" stories about Infantino - his support for the Super League, his alleged mistress when at UEFA, etc etc etc - are not "new" at all.
