All very interesting but a huge damp squib IMHO. It seems they never did manage to get a decent leisure partner and have scratched around for alternatives. I suppose it was inevitable that once the Trafford Centre had grabbed a huge part of the NW leisure market the justification for something...

It's been a longtime since anyone had a substantive update to post and I was looking forward to WW's info trickling through. I reflect on the chat I had with John Stemp during the expansion works where he made it clear that whatever happens the mindset from Abu Dhabi is 'Never brag or boast...

I happened to be at Sports Direct's HQ at Shirebrook on business the other week and had a number of conversations about kit deals and sponsorships etc. It was common enough knowledge amongst the people I spoke to that City are far from happy with Nike,the reasons for that were not expanded on...

Oh OK, I will just ignore what a senior European key account manager for Adidas told me then. I'm so glad you put me right.

We wont ever get Adidas because of the links they have to united. Under Armour would move heaven and earth to get the City account. They will be Newcastle's next kit supplier after Puma too.

A familiar face in there. No wonder he doesnt make many home games ;-)

The whole idea of 'being at the top table' by winning the Misnomer Cup amuses me, greatly. Have a look at the names of the clubs who have won it. Are Benfica considered a club of huge stature? I dont think so. Celtic? Dont make me laugh. Feyenoord? Ajax, Forest, Villa, PSV? These clubs...

Absolutely not. I think the format is bogus, the decisions made by UEFA are Stalinesque, the seeding is corrupt and the favouritism shown by officials laughably clear. Even if you ignore the treatment City have received from UEFA in terms of FFP and fines for racism/timekeeping many of the...

They say that 'no news is good news' but it does't half make for a shit thread on BM.

The question about what will go on the Collar Site will be perhaps as big a decision for the club's future as the capturing of Pep. Whatever is built will be far more permanent that Pep's tenure though and it may well secure the future financially and take City ahead of all other clubs. I...

You know what, anything's possible.

Its always ben a case of finding the right partners and the right idea but Media City wasn't that IMHO. Media City is decent but it's all about business and we need something that draws visitors in. I still see Apple/Pixar involved in some fashion.

It seems there is now more than enough money in play to do whatever is wanted. The problem is making sure its something more than a shit load of office buildings and drive-thrus. Do you trust ADUG to get it done properly?

The Chinese are big gamblers...... > C.H.E.E.T.A.H. R.A.C.I.N.G<

But i've got an email from Garry Cook........

Its massive ;-)

I have 2 dozen fucking racing cheetahs being vaccinated as we speak #ITK

There's not doubt that the next phase of the ground development is imminent as Worsley and others have impeccable insight in that regard. The wider developments seem to have stalled though, and those challenges are going to be far more difficult to overcome than the filling the extra seats. I...

The cheetahs are being bred as we speak.

Is it worth mentioning that ASDA are in big trouble and are cutting back on non-core services and the less profitable, bigger shops? Or should I not do that?
