Ole used to protect his players, Martial and Lingard tried to pull the "I'm not feeling it" stuff on Ralf and he just casually let the world know. Then they scramble to get on social media to say they'd never disrespect the club, despite desperately trying to leave it

That's Vincent Kompany who coincidentally got shares in a car hire firm that had contracts with City at the time that he signed for City. All reported in the papers at the time. I guess he's always had a passion for the car hire business?
Burnley manager and former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany says he is “sceptical” about the “finger-pointing” over the club’s alleged financial breaches.
