I think its pretty obvious that most of the elements are in place to move forward when the right partner or partners are in place. However, the one thing ADUG cannot do is induce a partner to get involved if the proposal isnt the right one. From Apple, through Disney and Marvel and all manner...

I get a sense that MCC and City, via the JV have somewhat hamstrung themselves with the language used early on about a 'world class destination/ international significance' etc There may now be a genuine struggle to get such a solution boxed off.

For the first 16 years of our sons life we were positive about his abilities and life chances and that carried on into the form filling. I didnt realise how naive we were being by having that attitude TBH. His transition at 16 fro DLA to PIP happened and we were advised to be honest about his...

Just wait for the next domestic PL contract.Sky will be out of the football business in any real sense by then and BT will offer ALL PL games live, for a fee.

It could be argued that many of the tickets in the newly expanded part of the stadium are nothing more than loss leaders. The club have gained elsewhere and as time passes the investment in the new capacity will be recouped, but it wont be recouped very quickly simply by the additional revenues...

It can be derived from anywhere on the planet and as long as it uses the name/trademarks of MCFC or its subsidiaries the funds can be included in FFP calcs.

ASDA get a change of use to include sporting use and casino etc just prior to selling the site on at an inflated value then?

"No one in Britain has ever been fined or prosecuted for illegally streaming content." - a direct quote from F.A.C.T.

We're just about at our 12 month Sky free anniversary and we haven't looked back. There are other threads about alternatives so I wont bother you with them but whatever discount they offer think on this. In the last 12 months of not paying for Sky TV, BT Sport and HD pack (no internet or phone...

Carl was the perfect model for an ambassador of Manchester City. He was tenacious and stubborn and as Blue as any one could be. Rest in peace mate.

Hmm, we dont yet have a Chinese team. How long does that CSL deal last? ;-)

Something like this was never about shirt sales its about property, media, brand awareness and footballing expertise. IMHO any move from Nike would be to Adidas as that ties in with the MLS contract for all teams and sadly I think Umbro wont ever be seen on City players again. It will be very...

The news of this broke as I was travelling don to the match and its only now that i'm home that I've had a chance to properly read and digest it all. Not for the first time with regards to City and finances Martin Samuel gets the mood music right. I think the lad has a soft spot for City TBH as...

The price of everything and the value of nothing. That's a Tory issue, always has been.

I only just watched his Life Story programme on ITV - he came across as a decent, humble man who kept his spirits up through a terrible illness. Its rare for one man to make such an impact on a sport as him but he changed the way the game was played by simply being a giant of the game in every...

It would be rude to ignore other opportunities to earn money.

A massive (yes I dare use that word) stadium is not immediately aimed at domestic demand but when you want CL finals, World Club Championship and other major sporting events you want both the best and the biggest stadium possible. Most of the existing 70k+ stadiums fall short in terms of...

I was told by someone a while back ( or was it posted on here? ) that there would be no physical connection between the Collar Site and the stadium. I've no idea why that would be but perhaps it's because any future plans for expanding the stadium need a free standing structure?

I was trying to get a handle on the likely milestones needed for the Collar Site but the right to buy-back at market value is less worrying than what I thought was in place, namely that they simply had to hand the land back. It seems clear that the priority will be given to the North Stand...

Yeah 15 sounds right.
