I don't have any inclinations to wind up people. The timing of this is very bizarre. I don't know what his reasons are so I'm speculating. If I worked as chief of operations for any company for a decade, and the same company in now facing allegations of fraud (which is yet to be proven). Then...

Can't help but question just as rival fans are doing as to why he would leave and jump ship to that lot. Is he covering his arse, professionally. Get the move before his name gets tarnished (even though he has no direct links to the charges)

Really surprised there is no obligation to buy. Hopefully he does well and we can sell him for a decent fee to a Saudi club Cancelo and Peps relationship must be beyond repair otherwise he would have made a very useful squad player.

If Barca don't produce an acceptable offer in a few hours time, it will suit City as the Saudi window is still open and they have the cash

Why does ornstein quote in euros between 2 English clubs when it comes to City signings? Didn't quote euros for City selling Palmer. I know it doesnt alter the figures but the optics of the figure look inflated for the brain dead

The market is in a bubble due to the Saudi Money, but I think if City are looking for a big money move, they will be looking at players from teams who are struggling financially and so have some advantage in negotiation. Maybe we have our eyes on a Barca player. Personally think it should be Frenkie

Sad news. I'm 35, and it wasn't long ago when there was no twitter, bluemoon or national interest in City for TV coverage. We had to rely on his and Chris Baileys write ups, in MEN/The Pink. Rip Paul

Reffed some big games for us FA cup semi v united 2012 QPR game The last game at Maine Road

Wonder why Iniesta is leaving Japan mid season?

Arsenal singing Rice and Havertz for £170m has made their net spend over the last 5 years tip over £570m. That's more than Chelsea and United over the same period. Any mention of this in the media? How are they getting past FFP with no previous CL football

Selling Laporte, Cancelo, Gundogan, Bernardo, Mahrez and Phillips would be a huge turnover of players and significantly reduce wage bill and bring in some decent fees. Id be happy if we kept one of Gundo or Bernardo from that list though. Rice, Gvardiol and Kovacic would be a good start to...

Mate, missed a significant detail. There was a bloody World Cup mid season too. I could be wrong but I think we had the most players away taking part than any side in Europe

5 away games since we beat Seville. Law of averages would say we are ovedue one!

City haven't won a Champions League game away from the Etihad Stadium since September 2022.

Leaving Congleton at 8.30am tomorrow.
