Bob not a happy bunny

[welsh_andy]

dont blame bobby tbh, we need just maybe 2 maybe 3 top players. but nothing, cant expect to put loads of cash into club win a title or 2 and then suddenly stop, yes we may have to pay over market value, but such is life.
if no one comes on board as we start to struggle in PL, then its the board that we should direct anger and frustration at,feel sorry for bobby, as if we do struggle this season, the pressure will be on him from the board. the manager wants certain players, then u should do your dam best to get them for him

This was the summer we needed to strengthen in a winning position now Chelsea and PSG are spending millions, to make a aim at the CL but we might even go backwards now.

Could it just be that Brian Marwood is watching the pennies (OK Millions) because of the FFP, it's easy to say well such and such a club is paying out millions but such and such a club was not left with the detritus that we have to get rid of before we can start spending again.

It's alright quoting other clubs but remember that FFP was brought in when City suddenly had money to spend. We will not be treated as fairly as other clubs that's for sure. (Yes I do have conspiracy theories over FFP but not about all the press being against us.)

I love Roberto Mancini (in the nicest possible way!!) but he does need to think sometimes before he speaks!!

All above is IMHO.

Surely 2 or 3 extra players in the positions we need to strengthen wont have a huge affect on FFP, the only way we can comply with the regulations is with sponsorship deals not by keeping spending to a minimum plus if we don't strengthen it could affect our teams performance and we will have buy anyway the next summer/Jan.

Maybe, I don't know and don't pretend to know, all I want is for these things not to be aired in public. City need to close down this 'tell everyone everything' mentality and clam up like other clubs do. I trust the club to do the best it can for the players and the fans.

Basically I guess all I want is to watch good football and I know we get that nowadays with City. :-) As I said, just MHO.

Have I missed something? You can't just buy a shitload of new players and be stuck with Bridge, RSC, Adebayor etc.

How the hell do we comply with FFP then? Marwood getting shit here for looking out for the club financially? And you can bet the owner backs him aswell.

We're not going to break even anyway in the foreseeable future so what does it matter, both Chelsea and PSG are spending millions.

What does that matter to us though? Would you not like us to become a self-sufficient club rather than bank-rolled by one guy for the rest of our lifetimes?

Yup, has history not taught us that standing still can be fatal. Arsenal pissed the league in the most amazing manner ever seen - unbeaten. All they did in the summer that followed was sign a couple of prospects and finished something like 12pts behind Chelsea the next season and dropped out of the Champions League earlier if memory serves me right.

I forget if it was 5 or 6 trophies that Barcelona won the season before last, then they went and spent a fortune on Fabregas and Sanchez. Granted they underperformed in the season that followed (still won three or so trophies) but were unlucky with a lot of injuries to players like Villa and Sanchez.

The only way we're going to become self self-sufficient is by being successful and that means bringing in players where our squad looks weak, with 2 or 3 top quality signing our squad is set for the next few years and we can look to bringing in youth then.
Chelsea stood still and watched as there squad grew weak and have had to spend fortunes in bringing it back to ours and united level, you should never stand still in football.

Just watched interview on OS seemed to me he was just leading journo,s away from giving him a grilling re transfer stuff

 

[meeesh]

My gut feeling is that he will leave sometime this season,whether Marwood is still there or not,just got a feeling

 

[grim up north]

Marwood spoke to our OSC at end of last season Bayern, Scum 1 or 2 others are shit scared of our spending power and are driving FFP against us. Marwood and Mancini everything is cool Marwood is well in with owners.

Academy top of the agenda, we will sign players

He's only just signed a new deal?
