People arguing about fees and how do PSG do it but we can’t..Has anyone thought that maybe the sheikh doesn’t actually want to spend any more cash and has said if you want players you sell players first! He can’t and won’t keep pumping money in.

would make sense if we hadn’t previously broken the British transfer fee record in the very same window.

We haven’t spent the sheiks money for years. We are self sustaining and were always intended to be. That’s the point of FFP rules.

After winning the league again champs league final. And we are not small fry we should have that money ffs

 

[Kippax1973]

The sheikh wanted to give Messi last year a 600Million contract over 5 years.

The Sheikh trust the Board to make the right decision and they won't do silly like paying 200 Million for Harry Kane

Looks like ffp or some sort of dirt is holding us spend big .

I would have said the same thing were it not for the fact that we have splashed the cash for Grealish.

Should ? What money are we entitled to we haven’t got.

 

[Pam]

I'm sure there'll come a day when we look back on all this and laugh ourselves silly about it. That day can't come quick enough. In the meantime, I hope we start learning from our mistakes, because this window has been a genuine shitshow.

How. Much did we earn from. The champs league final. Prem champions, league Cup, gate receipts, TV. Sales Commercial I mean,, fuck me

He hasn’t “pumped money in” since 2014. We made £230m in prize money alone last season

 

[Pam]

I have SUCH a headache.

We lost £120 million last financial year reported.The year just gone we had no fans, covid you may have heard of it. So there’s that. We will spend what we can afford to spend because we are well run it is really that simple.

then dont spend 100m on player we dont need.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

It wouldn’t have mattered if we signed Grealish or not. We were never paying Spurs £150m for Kane.

 

[blueparrot]

I ‘m not saying we can’t afford a striker, we obviously could afford Kane at apparently £120 mill and his wages. We might still buy somebody. I’m saying we haven’t a limitless pot .
Besides I ‘m not telling the club that have won 3 of the last 4 leagues how to build their team. If they wanted Grealish they had their reasons and next May I’ll decide if they made a misjudgement .you know based on performances not names on a wish list in the summer.

 

[Decepticon]

Seen no evidence over the years that the team at City will ever get a deal like this one over the line.

When was the last time City made a signing that you could describe as "marquee"? It's been a long long time.

Jack Grealish, English transfer record!

You are aware of FFP right? No clubs owner has pumped money into their club since that was introduced.

There two types of owners now, ones with ambition that won't take money from the club, like our owners, psg, Chelsea and others who allow the club to reinvest the money they make and then there's the owners who use the club to leech as much money as possible from the club and indeed from the game without hindering their ability to create more money for them to syphon off next year aka the glazers, FSG and pretty much all other super league sides bar us and Chelsea.

Jack Grealish, English transfer record!

Yeah but didn't only cost us £ 40m or so
