    Tolmie's a bot. He (it?) doesn't have a personal life.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Having decent accommodation, enough to eat and water that doesn't contain raw sewage are also human rights. Ones that many in the UK don't have. Emiratis have decent accommodation, education paid for up to tertiary level and good medical services. Better than us in many ways.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Sheikh Mansour is a related party to City and to Al Jazira but that doesn't make City & Al Jazira related parties.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    That's not how a related party is defined though, for one thing. And I'd argue that, as Mancini's employer, City had a right to negotiate, or be heavily involved in the negotiation of, any side contract.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    The main reason why Al Jazira and City could be classed as related parties would be that both are owned by Sheikh Mansour. But that's not enough in itself to automatically make them so. Sheikh Mansour seems to play little or no part in the overall management of City, therefore it's unlikely that...

    Greatest City 11 (English Players Only)

    Anyone with Walker over Tony Book should have their account deactivated. No one got the better of Skip. I'd go with Corrigan, Book, Stones, Watson, Donachie, Oakes, Bell, Foden, Barnes, Lee, Tueart.

    Season Tickets - 2024/25 | Average increases of 5% despite record profits

    It seems that the prices will be fixture dependent but there will be a discount built in. So, as I said, the more tickets you buy, the better value you get.

    The figures were regularly shared at City Matters meetings, down to individual games.

    Season Tickets - 2024/25 | Average increases of 5% despite record profits

    Think of the £150 as a down payment, rather than an additional fee. Obviously if you then only go to 5 or 6 games, it'll work out expensive but if you go to 15 or 16 you'll get better value. I agree that prices for the less attractive games are too expensive and you're right that things can...

    Season Tickets - 2024/25 | Average increases of 5% despite record profits

    The problem is that many people DON'T move their tickets on if they're not using them. In fact only a minority do. We saw the figures in the City Matters Ticketing sub-committee meetings. We rarely didn't sell out a game (maybe some single seats) but often there were a few thousand ticket...

    Heartburn

    Used to get this regularly but when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes I made a huge effort to lose weight. I'm nearly 2 stone lighter than I was when I was originally diagnosed and haven't had much of a problem since.

    Season Tickets - 2024/25 | Average increases of 5% despite record profits

    They haven't been specific about pricing yet but they'd be crazy if they didn't offer a discount on the matchday pricing. I found the original presentation I made to the club on this, which would have been in late 2018/early 2019. Funnily enough I used the £150 figure as an illustration of an...

    Season Tickets - 2024/25 | Average increases of 5% despite record profits

    I'm challenging this perception. I've already posted about how our previous hospitality arrangements impacted our matchday revenue, which is now being reported at a significantly higher level (with our expenses also increasing). This financial year we'll probably report a similar figure to...

    Don't be surprised if Flexi-Gold becomes the de-facto standard for all season tickets over the next few seasons.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Mancini very possibly. If it was a fraud to hide losses, it was a spectacularly inept one. We paid Mancini just under £6m under that contract, in a period where we reported losses of around £350m. Fordham won't be, as we were using that arrangement until at least 2015, possibly 2017.
