They’re fucking useless, aren’t they?

The "ø" has the Sam sound as "ö" in German other languages.

The nearest way to describe it is that it sounds like the "e" in "her".

SCØM.

 

[its grim up north]

Qualcomm are potentially the rags new shirt sponsor paying them £60 million per year, for reference City receive £67.5 million from Etihad. Another example of their dwindling pull from a commercial side of things?

Please catch up. That money is coming from down the side of Sheikh Mansours sofa.:-)

 

[mancboy]

Unbelievable Jeff.

he isnt in the top 3 in manchester never mind the world

 

[Blue Mist]

One swallow doesn’t make a summer.

No but it does make a great Meme and a player has to spend the rest of his career denying it was bird shit.

Well yeah, there are some people who think that a club's brand has nothing to do with what happens on the pitch. They're going to have a rude wake up call.

It seems to be mainly based on the New York Yankees, who managed to, as far as I can tell, create a brand of hats that were popular. But let's just say I've not seen anyone wearing a Chicago Bulls merchandise for about 20 years.

Not really when ours also covers the stadium & campus. If anything, it shows they’re still a strong brand bud. A shit brand, but a strong brand

Isn’t it more of a Dallas Cowboys business model from the 80s?

It definitely was though!

Surprised they're being offered that much, considering dross on the pitch and chaos within the club. Let's not forget Etihad gets stadium sponsor rights too, included. Are City due for a new shirt sponsor renewal/improved terms soon, considering on-field success, Haaland arriving, etc.? Sorry, haven't checked for a while.

Unbelievable Jeff.

Always this, the media cream themselves silly over the Ratface when he does one good thing after 20 odd games. Last time it was that through-ball to Rashford in the league.

I don't know, but I've specifically heard someone referencing the Yankees when claiming that on-field success isn't necessary for off field success. And perhaps in America this works, where it's all engineered to make sure no one team dominates. But in football, if you don't dominate, someone else might.

I‘d have gone for the “ergh” from “blergh”

If he signs for them, the headline writes itself - "El Ghazi goes to the khazi"

“Whilst Maguire should be banged up by the Albanian Stasi?”

To be fair to the rat faced clown, his goal and assist numbers are good from an attacking midfielder.

What the don’t show is his crap pressing and his head going if anything goes the wrong way.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Big fucking deal!

It was only Finland; a country that has only qualified for one major tournament in its entire history.

It’s not exactly like beating the 1970 Brazil team, is it?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Straw clutching on the rag stand today. Initially when manure were put up for sale, Sir Jim was the best thing since sliced bread, that was until Qatar came onto the scene, he was then seen as an obstacle to a 100% takeover. He soon became the Rat cliff. Now, due to the cooling of interest by the Qataris and the realisation by the swamp dwellers that the club has gone tits up, it's suddenly become Sir James the saviour.

They always seem to get shirt sponsors who overpay and fail to carry out due diligence... The Chevrolet exec who got sacked after signing off on their sponsorship deal, then TeamViewer looking to exit their deal early.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

The whole edifice is crumbling, they are a fucking shit show from top to bottom.
There will be more hand wringing, wailing and knashing of teeth when Brighton put them to the sword at weekend.
Just lol.

3 assists and a goal in one match is decent, but in International football you are playing teams of a Division 2 level, which is how Maguire manages to retain an international career.
