    New Contracts (Kompany signs until 2019 - page 52)

    Re: New Contracts I have to admit that things involving our club just get weirder and weirder by the week. Insure ourselves against having to pay bonuses!!!!!! I wonder what kind of insurer would take that one on? Although, as they say: 'there's no such thing as a free lunch', so we must have...

    FFP - 21 Man Squad Restriction & Homegrown Quota

    As there's still no announcement on the makeup of the squad is it possible they are waiting for the world cup to kick off so that the story gets buried? If so, it implies we are going to get off lightly and UEFA don't want the masses to notice. If it was a severe punishment they would want...

    United thread 2013/14 (continued)

    When I heard Malcolm Glazer had died I just assumed everything would simply carry on as before, but the obituary in the times (posted on BM somewhere) made me think. Apparently the bloke was odd to say the least. Fell out with his mother and siblings and so on. The children are likely to take...

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont It gets posted about every 10 pages in this thread going back a couple of years. Not saying it isn't true, or that it can't be, or that some good reasons for and against haven't been posted, but its very much in the 'I'll wait for...

    City & FFP | 2020/21 Accounts released | Revenues of £569.8m, £2.4m profit (p 2395)

    Re: City & FFP (continued) I think what Mr. Sole is saying is that as ffp is specifically designed to ensure that no clubs run into financial difficulties again you may rest assured that the desperate scenarios you envisage can no longer happen. Om behalf of all on Bluemoon I would like to...

    City & FFP | 2020/21 Accounts released | Revenues of £569.8m, £2.4m profit (p 2395)

    Re: City & FFP (continued) The second one first; FFP only covers the top 4 (or is it 2) leagues. As for the first question, I'm sure there are straightforward provisions for this within the regulations, but I haven't taken much notice of domestic ffp. That said, I would have thought that the...

    United thread 2013/14 (continued)

    According to reports, they are 'no longer interested in' Fabregas. Apparently van Gall isn't keen. I'm sure its just coincidence that they no longer want him at the very time they may actually be able to get him.

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont In fairness, a good call. Didn't he declare himself a lifelong president or something just before his fingers were prised off the jam and the door slammed in his face...

    Yaya Toure - commits future to City (page 855)

    Re: Yaya Toure I said something similar about fifty pages back, this thing only makes sense if you look for the bits which are obviously missing. The agent's comments sound more like a reaction to what had or was already happening, and he made a complete hash of it because he's a tool. Its...

    Liverpool Thread 2013/14 (continued)

    This gets asked from time to time but I've never seen an answer. Mind you, its been so long I 've forgotten what it was all about anyway!

    Yaya Toure - commits future to City (page 855)

    Re: Yaya Toure I'd be surprised if the club didn't know what this was about. And probably knew it before the agent went to the press. I've a suspicion the club have quietly 'handled' the situation behind the scenes and that's why 99.9% of the public only know about the cake (or lack of).

    Yaya Toure - commits future to City (page 855)

    Re: Yaya Toure There are a lot of assumptions in this thread. Some are safe assumptions, like this whole thing isn't about cakes, handshakes or veyrons. But as mad as the whole saga seems, I couldn't help thinking it would make sense if looked at in the right light. Some things we do know are...

    Interesting article on Rooney's contract

    Its a clever idea, if not entirely unique outside football. However, it does pose some interesting questions about the relationship between Rooney and United. They must be certain of keeping him there no matter what (ie no matter what van Gaal wants). They are probably skewing player purchases...

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont I seem to remember reading it should have been ready for August as you say, but that it got slightly delayed and won't be finished now until October. I think the same info (probably in this thread) said that October was the end...

    Yaya Toure - commits future to City (page 855)

    Re: Yaya Toure I read it and thought it said exactly the opposite; that its the fault of players, eg Rodwell, that they don't live up to expectation. The author reckons that Toure turned down Arsenal, did a few clubs in Europe, and ended up a better player for it. Also that Rodwell's opposite...

    United thread 2013/14 (continued)

    That's very interesting. It has crossed my mind a few times in the last few months how this will allwork out for them. On top of this, if I have it right (and I'm no accountant) if they miss top 4 this coming season then the shit hits the fan. After two seasons of no CL the PIK loans could...

    Liverpool Thread 2013/14 (continued)

    I have to admit that I read the post a couple of times in confusion thinking they had literally given away ballpoint pens. Made absolutaly no sense until I stopped thinking so literally and the penny dropped!

    Arsenal Thread 2013/14

    I used to quite like Arsenal until a few years ago, they were an entertaining team to watch. I didn't care if Arsenal revolved in the virtuous circle of CL -> earn silly money -> big money signings -> therefore get top 4 -> back to CL etc. that was just how the league was. It was what the PL had...

    Arsenal Thread 2013/14

    I was going to post that its obviously a piss-take, then read your post. Looks like I'm wrong again. I see what you're saying about 'it makes money', and lets face it, nobody is being made to buy it, but at the same time, you can't tell me they couldn't have come up with something better? It is...
