    F365 is possibly the worst of the worst. I implore all Blues to not encourage their bullshit, by giving them clicks. This publication is pure fantasy...

    The Squad planning thread

    Tbh, this constant "will he, won't he" every couple of seasons is becoming tiresome. In fairness to Pep, he's always stated that he prefers short-term contracts, as they don't allow him, the club or the squad to become too comfortable or complacent. Also, it's not him constantly bringing up...

    The Squad planning thread

    We had similar situations after Kompany left. I don't get why we didn't move to replace him other than Pep saying the right player at the right price wasn't available. Not being in the room with Txiki & Pep, we can only suppose, but I do think this summer will be big precisely because of...

    The Squad planning thread

    I can't see much movement during the CWC. I'd imagine most action will take place after the tournament, albeit FIFA have said transfers in & out can take place during. It's gonna be a big & messy summer!

    The Squad planning thread

    I wish we could mate, but the football world knew it was Davies' intention to run down his contract & move to Madrid on a free. It's as nailed on as Mbappé to Real was unfortunately.

    The Squad planning thread

    Does Sheikh Mansour strike you as the kind of man who'd cut & run from the jewel in his crown? Pep has always worked with a small, high quality squad as a way of ensuring players get meaningful game time, & to lessen the chance of having unhappy players in the dressing room. City have also...

    The Squad planning thread

    Davies has been running down his contract since 2022 & is Madrid bound. Brilliant player, but pointless wasting our time when the world & his dog knows the next destination for Davies...

    WTF! The line between genius & madness is truly thin! :-)

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I know the cost of a new stadium will far exceed most clubs' annual turnover, hence why I stated the annual repayment over 25 years not exceeding 33% of a club's annual turnover. I agree with your sentiments in general, but the football governance can has been opened by the legacy clubs, & I...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    It's a regulations vs rules argument. We may operate in a dog eat dog free market capitalist system, but football clubs are representative of their communities & it's understandable that many would want to see clubs protected from going belly up. However, FFP, PSR & APT contribute very little...

    Media discussion - 2024/25

    Rumours are circulating that Ederson could end up playing in midfield against the Cherries, although this is unconfirmed at the time of publication. FFS! :-)

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    They've already started with their government intervention narrative. It's the best face saving excuse they can come up with to explain why their Dastardly schemes to stop City are falling apart like a cheap suit...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    It was actually the Tories who first became concerned, as they were battling to attract inward investment into the UK before the General Election, but the PL were fuckin things up with their witch hunt against City. The first shot across the PL's bows was the proposal for IREF. Politicians...

    Florian Wirtz

    It's Real Madrid. When has tactically building a team ever been their forte? If he adds to their star-studded galactico stable, where they'll fit him & the rest in, is usually an afterthought.

    Players who might improve us

    Tchouameni is different gravy. Real seem to be buying up Superstars en masse with little regard of where or how to play them. Camavinga is the one, but Tchouameni isn't that far behind. It's a deffo yes from me.

    Rodri - The 2024 Ballon d'Or Winner! (Pg 131)

    Good fuckin grief!! An Instagram post by Rodrigo, featuring photos taken at the premiere of her new concert film Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour, a day before the football awards ceremony (October 27), has been flooded with comments like “You robbed Vini” or “You don’t deserve that...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Loans for Infrastructure are no different to a mortgage imo. You get one based on income & credit worthiness, adjustable by deposit size. Imagine Ipswich Town applying for a £1.5bn commercial loan to build a 150000 capacity Super stadium, with a retractable roof & rotating pitch. Any sane...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    They won't, hence the need for IREF. This will solve the problem of football finance, but it'll also be like turkeys voting for Christmas to the cartel clubs. This is why self regulation hasn't, & will never work.
