Etihad IPO and expansion is bigger than anything to do with City.

Is there a car small enough to fit this many clowns in to get them to London tomorrow?

But, but, but "they only spent what they won on the pitch". More like the fuckers took a gun to the head of English football so they got a bigger slice of the pie, twerked the brand around the world for as much global capital as they could greedily eat, and then pissed their pants in public...

I'm just glad I don't have to keep an eye on Burnley for Vinny's sake and they can fuck off to six-fingered "white lives matter" irrelevance again.

Tolmie is very good for mood music from the club itself. I've no doubt there's people in the club that think this is a matter of time. But there were people in the club, and therefore Tolmie as well, who thought we all but had Bellingham's signature on paper. It's not done till it's done.

I think the club would tell Pep to personally run the ball into our own net on Saturday if it meant non-cooperation, a smallish fine, and a statement that claimed the paperwork satisfied that that no major breaches had happened, all the sponsorship and player contracts were perfectly legal, and...

I suppose the counter to this is they have a young, ambitious squad; a coherent playing style; and several years worth of parachute payments. They're in a much better position than when he took over. I think a good rule for life - relationships, work etc - is leaving something in a better...

It's all over the place as a concept, but I quite like it actually. 8 unique matches before Christmas, an interesting knockout "group" game that hopefully we'll avoid. As someone who has been on the cup scheme it's a welcome relief.

I think the emails look bad (though as we saw at CAS, things looking bad doesn't always mean they are bad). I think members of the league, who likely didn't read every word of the CAS statement, used press reporting, Der Spiegel framing, and a sense that UEFA stumbled at CAS, have put immense...

The short answer is we don't know. The longer answer is we don't know, but it's probably just the emails + whatever they hope to find when they have access to everything else we give them. And that is a cornerstone for why people, mostly led by Stefan who at least knows what he's talking about...

Yeah, Kova and and another holding midfielder/defender. There's always going to be a drop off when Rodri isn't on the pitch as Rodri has been the best player in the world for two seasons.

Weird club. Let a manager do all the hard work, get them close to something like they could kick on and sign the right players, and now they're restarting it all by taking a wild punt on an unproven manager at this level and presumably spunking another £200m on the squad.

Saw someone on Reddit, in all seriousness, claim that no one could compete with a team that could bring Ortega off the bench. That's relegated German league player we signed on a free that literally any PL could have signed.

It remains my main anchoring position. Silver Lake, global stock markets, auditors etc aren't seeing massive holes in the finances and being "well City needed to buy Adebayor, I'm sure that's fine". If this IPO happens, and why wouldn't it, it's as good as us in the clear in my opinion.

When this Etihad IPO happens this year there's going to be a lot of conspiracy theorist journalists caught with their arses out. These companies aren't playing, and they're not out here to help a football club in north west England out of their kindness of their heart, they're here to make...

This is all very similar to the CAS stuff. It's internal City people talking to internal City people about the importance of keeping paper trails clean. Whenever you include the accounting, the witness statements, or anything else there's no evidence that this money is coming from anywhere other...

What do Poznan think about the poznan?

Think they're busy in Wyoming cry-wanking with their novelty foam fingers about how much more fun they had and how proud of the team they are.

I see we are now getting stick for not cheering the trophy lift loudly enough, like this has ever been a cauldron of noise. The whole coverage of our atmosphere has reached a quite pathetic level.

Scary to think that he's still not the age that Silva or Kev were when they joined us and that he, like those players, still has a gear or two or more to go up.
