Convenient:)

Does that mean City could sell Carrington to the Sheikh for 200 million and lease it back at a penny a year?

Completely missed this yesterday

Interesting that the 11 figure appears again Seems there are 2 fractions now

Hopefully, then when others wake up. The cartel will be fucked.

They do but as La Liga reasserts itself as the best league in the world PL revenues will decline and the Yanks will get less dosh.

Thats the issue for them. They want a closed shop..salary cap so they can make returns each year and the value of the 'franchise' goes up. The problem is the US sports have no competition (NFL/NBA/MLB) the prem would fall behind other leagues again. This is self destruction of the product.

The premier league was on the cusp of grinding the other leagues into dust after covid. Instead to stop City it has eaten itself.

The Connor Gallagher situation, regardless of opinions about him as a player, is everything that's wrong about the current Premier League rules.

Clubs used to try build their teams around players that came through their academies. Now they're the players they're having to sell them to comply with some nonsensical rule. No genuine football fan can think that's right.

Normally I’d agree but given the sheer volume of players and amount they’ve spent on them, I’ve not got much sympathy with Chelsea at all tbh!

Only one winner. CITY.

Popped in to catch up with the latest gnashing of teeth on how we are destroying mankind and some fucking rag is polluting the thread.
Assume he's been binned.

Yeah, definitely. Me either, but it is the case in point example of the stupidity of that rule!

What I find more amusing is all those clubs and fans supporting these red cartels ,are they in a cult or the reasoning logic has disappeared from their brain cells?

They never had any to start with.

Absolutely, it would be very interesting to see the breakdown of who voted for/against.

If anyone finds out post it please.

City have already sold carrington , theres a new housing estate about to be built on it

If only there was a thread on this matter...

Great stuff.... so you are confirming the Police and HMRC are not involved and it is a civil case and not a criminal case.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

We don't own every company in the middle east either.

But it's irrelevant even if we did. Loads of clubs have been sponsored by companies with links to owners, both in the past and now.

If the sponsorship is at fair market value, who cares?

Nobody was arsed when Ashley changed the name of the ground and stuff like were they, apart from the Geordie’s obviously.
Scruffy Jim will be itching for the British taxpayer to spend £billions changing the name of that dump to the Ineos shithole, and so will the glazers so they can put half of it in their bank, in the Cayman Islands obviously.

 

[SWP's back]

Well if journalists have written it , then it must be true with their integrity and fact checking .

Idiotic point given it is also some journalists that said we abstained. That’s the point. We don’t know.

We’ve got a brand new arena worth £2billion

Does that mean City can sell the new hotel in the future, and any additional hotel or building City build on the Etihad Campus in the future, and use that money for the club? ;-)

No as the US of chelsea already bought it I’m guessing
