I'd sell United for £6Bn and buy an NBA team.

I think those trends might start going the other way at some point mate?

Certainly the ongoing tensions with China and related TV deals, although NBA have just signed a big FinTech deal with them?

CFG should be looking at NBA with those numbers. Pep loves the Bulls!!

Last I heard they were expecting the TV deal to go from $2.6Bn a year to $8Bn in part due to Apple potentially coming in as a sports streaming platform and massive growth in China and India.

US-China relationships are looking a bit frosty, but I don't think anyone wants the gap to keep widening so I expect Blinken to do some making up soon.

Just seen NBA announce some sort of FinTech deal with China?

Mate, don’t know you from Adam but I just want to say that, even if the end result is a bad one, your little snippets like the above are helping keep me positive on the days when I feel the end is nigh.
I’m a pretty positive person in general, and most times feel bullish about what will happen with this, but some days I feel they are SO determined to screw us over that surely they will.
Then you pop up with a something like this and I feel all “bring it on” again.

Cheers, unwittingly you are providing a valuable public service

I see on the BBC Football page this morning that two of the most prominent stories are Liverpool not for sale and Glazers may not sell United ??
Bearing in mind that the Yanks are only in this to make money, do we infer from this that they are now more confident of making money, and by continuation, City are going to get screwed ??

Could do with some input from @petrusha, @Prestwich_Blue or @projectriver.

Gents - with your legal, financial backgrounds, would that be a fair assumption ?? Or am I just being my usual typical City, glass-half-empty pessimistic self ???

More likely that prospective buyers didn't like the asking price.

I believe the PL already makes "solidarity payments" to al EFL clubs on a sliding scale and has done for many years.

What I’m saying is that rather than propping up a small handful of clubs, that money would help keep the “grass roots” (local team, lower leagues) viable.

Make of this what you will, but I've just been privy to some startling information that would blow the lid off PGMOL and the power brokers at the Premier League, if it became public. It involves a recording of a conversation between the match day referee and VAR official at a recent away match, a recording that is now in the hands of City.

It's my firm belief that City have compiled a dossier so incendiary, that the Premier League will have no choice but to totally exonerate the Club of any wrongdoing. If they don't, this is going nuclear. Either way, we hold all the cards and this explains why we're so bullish about the eventual outcome. The Premier League are on the back foot, and in my opinion, are currently lobbying the membership as to how best to quietly end the process. I have also been advised that at least one of the "Nasty 9" has had board level discussions with City, distancing themselves from the others in the cabal.

Pep's press conference tells us all we need to know. Watch it again, look at the anger and barely controllable rage in the mans eyes. His attitude wasn't based upon him being reassured about some poxy finances & bullshit charges, it was because he KNOWS exactly what is coming.

Sit back and enjoy the ride Blues.

“It’s your belief” based on what exactly?

Real Madrid were found guilty of taking money, illegally, from the Spanish Government when they bought (cough) their training ground. Not one British media outlet was arsed, why would they be bothered about this ?

Irrelevant. 1. They have no idea what the Commission will come up with it. 2. Liverpool is not being sold simply because nobody wants to pay their asking price 3. United will get sold in all likelihood.

Anyway, it is almost definitely unconnected and wouldn't form the basis of that go/no go decision.

Utd: Apart from the co- chairmen, the Glazer family want out, for preference.
Ineos are reported to have made an indicative bid of £4.5bn. Once they have seen the data, they won’t increase that, so Middle East is likely.
