I wouldn’t confuse turnover with profit. The 02 makes about around £10m profit per year ( on the £122m turnover ). Whilst it’s a great investment long term - it’s not going to make a huge difference short term to CFG accounts. But like you say, once the hotel and other facilities open they...

It’s interesting to see Canada getting the book thrown at them at the Olympics for the drone spying case, and comparing it to the far worse hacking crime that Liverpool escaped any punishment from the PL and FA for.

Scruffy Jim took one look at the €1bn turnover recently announced at Madrid helped by their new stadium and is desperate to get a bit of that action. Wont matter that United have £3bn of debt - as the current rules are not interested in debt - only turnover - and a 100k capacity stadium would...

exactly !!! He’s on holiday and he’s a good professional keeping fit. The penny will drop on here one day for those getting worked up about pre-season results. The games mean nothing - the reason City give players the correct amount of holiday is the reason we are strong at the end of the...

Can’t understand why anybody is arsed about these pre-season games. Surely everybody knew we would lose every game on tour due to the squad that was sent out. For anybody banging on about youth players making a name - we have sold all our good young players. Most of players on tour are...

It’s not just Premier League though which you seem to keep referring to - they have been surpassed by every other league in world football. They have been irrelevant for 20+ years and bypassed by so many other teams.

Nobody’s talking about historically. But this idea Celtic are massive around the globe now is complete bollocks. A recent social media survey collating total number of social media followers of all global football clubs - put them in 100th place. 99 other football clubs had larger number of...

Wait till the Balon Dor results are out in a couple of months - and see how many non City PL players are in the top 30. Masters and co have strangled investment into all PL clubs which has ensured no elite players are coming to England this Summer.

The PL are in the process of killing their own product. This week alone we have seen Real Madrid break €1 billion turnover. They are now miles clear as the biggest club in world football - and just announced Mbappe to 80k in their stadium. Saudi are ramping up cherry picking who they want...

SJM promotions is Simon Moran. Big promoter in the UK and he was the bloke that got persuaded Take That to get back together before they started playing stadiums, and was also the man that got the Stone Roses back together as well as promoting loads of band tours for the last 30 odd years. He...

Gaiety and SJM are huge gig promotion companies

Was in NY earlier in the year and watched the Arsenal match at Amity Hall whilst my Mrs mooched round Soho. Thought the atmosphere in there was great and spoke to a few US blues who were welcoming. Slightly bizarre sight of most tables having these kind of yard of ale contraptions with taps on...

Far more pathetic was Lieu’s take that Walkers throw in was the reason England lost. There were other journos holding this up as a main cause as well. Mental

This is not a new leak. It’s a story by a junior journalist purely taking reports from the Guardian and that website that seems to give that clown Wyness a platform. The source, the Guardian story yesterday bizarrely seemed to think it was breaking news about City disputing the company used to...

No but there is a reason it’s written by a journalist that if you take time to read his recent articles is a bit of a joke. There is a reason it’s not getting any traction with any of the senior FFP city hating journos. You will not hear another mention of this again after today.

Shaun Custis - Head of Sport at the Sun who published the article - spent about 20 seconds on the story this morning on his Talksport show, so he obviously thinks it’s a garbage. Pinto has spent years trying to restyle himself as a whistleblower. The whole witness protection nonsense bizarrely...

Before anybody starts to lose their minds I suggest you have a quick search for the usual articles that Richard Moriarty writes for the Sun. Recent nuggets include Rooneys son crashing a buggy and a medium giving predictions for Foden.

Spot on. Everybody has lost their shit over that quote without looking at the reasons. Majority democracy is not always the best solution when the majority are insulated by being on the PL money gravy train. This ‘majority’ is made up of elite clubs that enjoy the benefit of big revenue with...

We should be challenging absolutely everything. I wonder what the journos would think if the majority vote in PL ( mostly US owners ) continued the self preservation mantra and voted to end promotion which they would all do in a heartbeat. Would that be democracy ?

Apologies if this had already been commented on but couldnt see it anywhere - but I see Bajkowski has written a snide piece in the MEN quoting Dr Dan Plumley and a guilty verdict is due next year that will shock football. Bajkowski is on the City beat, at the press conferences etc yet still...
