Somebody told me Greizmann is on £800k/week. Please tell me that's bull.

Apparently they are going to terminate Samuel Umtiti contract if he doesn't agree to a move however Umtiti is threatening to take them to court if they do as he is claiming he's done nothing wrong.

What a fucking shambles that club has become

Good old Mr Panja saying that Member-run clubs are falling into problems as they try to keep up with the "state-run" clubs.

Always got to be a link back to ickle ole Ciddy.

As Khaldoon has said, "Stop blaming City for all your clubs' problems".

I can see Txixi and Soriano ordering lorries of popcorn to their offices watching from afar.

Coutinho is getting the 10. some new guy took over the 14 and since they have 23 players they have to fill the numbers 1-23 for this season. If he finds his Liverpool form somehow it would be great for them.

In that case, let’s hope he doesn’t find his Littlewoods form, then.

Just under half their debt is owed to Goldman Sachs. The story now doing the rounds is that the bank will insist on a sale of the club and its conversion to a PLC. Under the Spanish rules, the price of the shares is fixed by a formula with reference to the net debt. This would enable the club to reduce its debt by about 55%. This is why Laporta went into detail about the amount of negative equity in his financial revue. Looks like the end of member ownership.
