    Txiki Begiristain | Has left the club after 13 years (pg50)

    Obvs a nervy time for us but finding out if we can successfully transition into the next era is an important step for us that needs to happen for us eventually. If we can navigate this changing of the guard and keep winning trophies then we're in really great shape to keep competing for the long...

    Martín Zubimendi

    I very much doubt he'll go anywhere to sit on the bench. We'd have to find a way to play him alongside Rodri once he's fit. And that applies to pretty much any world class player we'd want to bring in to lessen our reliance on Rodri.

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

    Obvious guess is that the benefit they'd see via APT income outweighs the interest they'd expect to pay on the loans. OR it could also be that as a club looking for a new buyer, it will be easier to sell the club if a prospective buyer has more scope to bring in sponsorship and revenue via...

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

    Equity doesn't impact P&L. So a shareholder cant put as much money in to buy limitless players, because revenue would need to cover expenditure. Where it could help is that where you have a club that is paying huge interest on a loan that was used to pay upfront for a long term asset. In this...

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

    Regarding suing for damages (and someone with a legal head will probably know more here). If the PL dismissed some of/most of City's challenges, could the PL seek legal costs? And in which case would it be deemed better to find a settlement?

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

    Can I just check if my understanding of things is roughly correct? Depending on your allegiances/agenda you can essentially cherry pick parts of the ruling to claim an overall victory in the court of public opinion. The PL "won" on some points and City on others. PL claiming victory on the...

    WSL West Ham (H) 06/10/24 KO - 13:00

    Same, but i am really excited to see how we measure up and It will be really fun to see how Barcelona manage someone like Bunny Shaw. The state of the Liga F is needs to improve fast because it's going to be extremely damaging for Spanish football, and Barcelona too, if it remains as...

    WSL West Ham (H) 06/10/24 KO - 13:00

    Positives re yesterday: - Created a lot of chances - Gareth Taylor ROTATED his team - We got three points - Arsenal fans suffering severe headloss after drawing with Everton - Jill Roord is BACK - Miedema's link up play is so good. Not a side to her game you notice as much when she's not...

    CITY V FC Barcelona, Wednesday 9th Oct 2024, 8PM. Home leg. UWCL

    I doubt that's the reason but if it was it would be an odd decision to potentially put a ceiling on our matchday attendances for the course of the deal (which we need to grow and are falling behind on compared to other sides). You could still put Joie's name in and around the Etihad to get them...

    CITY V Paris FC, THURSDAY, 7PM. 2nd leg. UWCL

    Chuffed with this. Will be amazing to see how we measure up against Barcelona and with the top two going through I was more concerned about avoiding Juventus in pot 3 who just did a number on PSG.

    Middle East Conflict | Netanyahu orders strikes on Gaza (p1161)

    You mean the state of Israel, not "the Jews". And you're crazy if you think countries will be lining up to spend a load of money on an iron dome of their own. Most of them aren't illegally occupying their neighbour's land for starters.

    Women's Football Thread 2024/2025

    I might be misremembering but I think she's already been offered another one and hasn't signed. Barca want her, she'll be on a free and she's Catalonian. I would be surprised if didn't end up there. If it happens then I guess we'll make signing a genuinely world class replacement a priority so...

    Women's Football Thread 2024/2025

    Think we all knew it was happening but a shame to hear it confirmed. Feels a weird time to announce it but maybe a smart way to shut down speculation and avoid the circus United have had with Russo and Earps etc. The fact she's been made a co-captain regardless this season points to everyone...

    Ah that's a relief. Fingers crossed we get to see her soon as it would be reassuring to know that our non-starting defensive players are good enough to be covering our first choice!

    Rodri Injury Updates | City say ligament injury (pg117)

    Obvs accidents happen and injuries can occur for a lot of reasons. We dont know for sure what happened or why. But im pretty certain that on balance we'll see more of these sorts of injuries over time as the schedule gets more and more packed. No matter how much you pay players there's only so...

    Rodri Injury Updates | City say ligament injury (pg117)

    Mike Arteta's Arsenal are perfectly capable of gaslighting themselves without us having to worry wbout what our players are saying to them. Their propensity to spit the dummy at the most minor of setbacks - be that a bad refereeing decision, an injury to a player or a disappointing result - is...
