That's a massive (sorry) beautiful hotel, when I went over for the friendly in 2009? The club put on a BBQ there for us all.

Yes I went what a night that was. To call it a bbq for us was low key. If M&S and Carling got together to do BBQs this would be it. Spoilt only by a few later on inside the hotel which perhaps is the reason one City vice president told me we would never get a second invitation.

We cleared off once the free beer had finished so didn't see any hassles, I did get lost after having a piss and missed most of Cooks speech though.

Indeed. If it goes through, it’s open season. If it doesn’t , it’s legal season.

From Trafford rangers forum:

‘Even on Bluemoon they recognise this as dodgy, and a test of the FFP rules. Like they say, if it's allowed, it's open season. If it's not allowed, it's legal season.’

fame for moi at last.

can’t say I said it was ‘dodgy’, nor was Pablo. Unless she/he recognized we were insinuating the artificial cartel requested FFP is ‘dodgy’, but I guess that went straight through the air gap between their ears.
It’s certainly a ‘test’ , a test of whether the cartel clubs want to continue their charade of ‘waaahh stop them all, we must support the red shirts through artificial and blatantly biased means’

edit: and to whomever you are, please explain how any club can grow (or regrow) without external investment. You know, like united (at least twice) Liverpool (from the very start and littlewoods) Arsenal (from the start and fiszman)? Or is that ‘historic’ investment and so is irrelevant to your thoughts? Either way it’s immaterial, City owner investment ended 8 years ago, we took a ‘pinch’ fine for uefa who changed the ffp rules after we’d submitted our accounts, and since then it’s been smear after cartel smear. All the way up to CAS , who declared they was no case to answer to, just a made up conjoined hacked emails (6 out of allegedly millions), and the pushing of the cartel for blood. Look to your own owners - fleecing the sheep for 100s of millions and you all go siuuuu.

Superb hotel. We were at the BBQ too. Great to see & talk to the players. Bellamy was really friendly as was Ireland. It was an awesome event for any club to be proud of.
The match was eye opening too. All fans mixed together ; the pitch drone was a first & food given out free!!

what a club & what an owner we have
 
Don't worry Pep, you've earned it unlimited times over.

Is the Daily United seriously trying to tell everyone that City's wage bill is higher than United's.

More fake and lying spin from the Daily United. I bet Neil Ashton has had hardly any sleep since the start of the New Year.

Maybe it’s that after bonuses we pay for winning trophies we do had lots of types of bonuses in contracts.

They won't have that specific info. No newspapwe or Journalist would. Certainly not to flesh out a bog standard article like that.

It's just another desperate United PR story by the Daily United after United got beat last night.

We all know United pay higher wages than City. According to rumours, CR37 is in £500K a Week, De Gea is in £375k a Week, etc. Look at the size of their squad compared to ours. The Glazers and Woodhead have been paying silly wages for years. CR37 and Sanchez beening the prime examples. It wouldn't surprise me if United were still paying a percentage of Sanchez's wages.

The Ronaldo/Sancho/Varane numbers aren't in the MU figure quoted.
In November, they reported a quarterly wage of 88.5M, so 354M (presumably before bonuses, if anyone deserves one!)

City's 351M is from the annual report 2019-20, incl. 42M for non-playing staff as far as I can tell, but that is standard reporting for all, I think.

Chelsea's is obviously new.

Liverpool's is 2019-20, when they acknowledged having the second highest wage bill.

as far as I can tell, anyway.

I remember years ago Jimmy Hill tried to run Coventry on business lines. While Jimmy had many good points, he wasn't much cop at this venture and said he had concluded that business methods did not work in football.

Sorry to disagree about Chinny Hill. I lived in Coventry when he was in charge of the club. He ‘converted’ Highfield Road into an all seater stadium by cordoning off the Kop standing area. He also stated that to crack down on hooliganism, that fans had to buy tickets several days in advance of the match or else be charged three times the price.

He seemed to think that no football hooligan would buy advance tickets or pay over the odds? Very weird thinking.

I would agree that in his earlier spell as manager, he did come up with some progressive ideas including reintroducing the sky blue shirts. However as Chairman he had lost the plot.

I know that it is not about FFP, but I saw this on the redscouse site and could not see a thread anywhere for what seems quite interesting/important news

Just shows the stature of our owner and Khaldoon - compared to the red shirt pimps - and how well connected they are.

I wonder if we could have influence on DCMS to check out these new PL rules?


"UAE to invest £10 billion in priority UK industries

The UK Office for Investment (OfI) and Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company, today signed an agreement at Downing Street to significantly expand the UAE-UK Sovereign Investment Partnership (UAE-UK SIP), a framework for investment announced in March 2021

As part of today’s agreement the UAE has committed £10 billion via the UAE-UK SIP, overseen by the OfI and Mubadala, one of the world’s leading sovereign investors. This builds on Mubadala’s £800 million commitment and the UK Government’s £200 million to UK life sciences when the partnership was established in March.

There is this new partner deal with a hotel in Abu Dhabi.
I looked at the website all I can see is that the owners are from Hong Kong.
This Colin Millar says that the hotel is owned by the government of Abu Dhabi.
@Prestwich_Blue Who is telling the truth the official website or Colin Millar ?
