they can't register any new players until Jan 2016. I highly doubt we would even consider selling Aguero.Blue Maverick said:Heard a nice rumour The other day that Tixi and co are deep in negotiations over Messi, they need a marquee signing to tip us over the edge and global shirt sales, rumour is Aguero and Yaya plus £30 million for Messi. Their wages would more than make up his, obviously that means we lose another forward but I guess they would have their eye on someone else as well.

Yep, by the time they've realised what's hit them, it'll all be too late.fbloke said:BluessinceHydeRoad said:Bodicoteblue said:Well well , Messrs Wenger and Platini , not forgetting our German friend Herr Rummenige , here comes an object lesson in being careful what you wish for!
You pontificated to us that football clubs should be run on a sustainable business model ( even though your FFP bears virtually no resemblance to normal business practices) - well guess what? You're going to see a business the like of which has never been seen before in football.
How are you planning to stop us now?
Didn't Khaldoon say how much he would love to give another end of season interview in2020 in which he and "our friends at UEFA" compare UEFA's FFP business model and City's high investment model, so we could all see which was better? He seemed pretty sure of himself! Wonder what City's turnover will be by then!
I think its reasonable to say that City, unlike UEFA and a few others, were playing the long game and had no stress about the viability of the MCFC and CFG business model after the initial, accelerated investment.
What I find remarkable is the myopic viewpoint of all clubs pre-Sheikh Mansour.
The more I see and hear about the way the CFG is being formed and operated the more I realise how limited, nay lazy, the owners and boards of mufc, munich, barca, real and all the rest have been.
The 'business' of football has one leading owner now and the rest still havent figured out how far behind they will fall and it will be a decade before they wake up to the new reality, and that will be something the cannot catch up.
As Khaldoon said, lets see how it looks in 2020

Its been too late for 6 years, we gatecrashed the day we were taken over, and there was nothing they could do to stop us, sure they've tried, but we were always well ahead of their games.Bluewonder said:Yep, by the time they've realised what's hit them, it'll all be too late.
