I hope they never reopen the books into the PJ Swales era, they might actually nail us.

I take it you got one of his telly's??

Jesus is going to be massive. If he can get rid of the persecution complex, get on the end of some good crosses, he's nailed on to be our saviour for the next few years.

We don't NEED haaland or mbappe

This deserved more appreciation than just me liking it ffs

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Maybe we don't neeed Haaland or Mbappe but we need another striker with a clinical strike rate that's for sure. To many chances go begging in this team at the moment, they could still cost us this season yet in the cup comps.

But we're scoring freely, we've scored most goals in the PL. Do we really need a £120m striker ?

I am not sure.

Along with 12,344 others attending the match that day in a packed Maine Road.

Luckily there’d be no trophies to take away from us.

Despite his best efforts to get us challenging for the EFL trophy or Associate Members Cup or whatever it was called back then.

This sums it up well. The Americans have a different perspective on sport. They prefer the level playing field approach which given their population, the fact they have more land to build big stadiums, and their historic need for profits, is different to Europe and certainly the UK. Its more about profit than investment in a team. I guess in the 80s, 90s when we were crap I would possibly have welcomed this. Having seen the last 13 years of development of our club, I guess I am selfish in disliking their approach. There are may arguments for and against.
Even when we were crap, I still hoped. I was envious of the Rags and Scousers, but that actually made me love City more and hope. The truth is that big cities, like London, Manchester will always have bigger stadiums and more support.But look at how badly Newcastle and Birmingham have been managed, big cities but shit management,why do they deserve a piece of the pie ? Also, the concept of say Burnley or Brighton, with smaller crowds competing on a level playing field is not one that I relish or feel would work.
The TV money we get is mostly based on big clubs, with world wide support, creating enough interest to justify the money being earned.I suspect we would lose this in the UK if the American approach was adopted.
FSG were lucky with a few good purchases,Coutinho has funded their expansion !! Their run is coming to an end. Rags have been robbed by the Glazers. The fans are not happy with the models being used.
The bottom line is that teams that invest more, should be rewarded more, and success breeds success. Rant over !!!

It makes me Laugh with the Dippers. They snagged a whopping £142 million for flat track bully Coutinho. Therefore they are massively complicit in rising transfer fees and as a result clubs like our being charged more- and yet they complain lol.

Maybe a comparator is when people buy second homes. The locals moan about strangers paying over inflated prices and putting locals out of market. Nobody ever ever complains about the vast sums that the local made by that sale.
And that is the Dipper analogy. Prices out of the market by their own actions.

Now, Tebas has hit back at Guardiola’s comments by once again criticising his understanding of how football was funded and the long-term negative impacts.

The league chief said: “Pep, I learn from the Premier League every day. It would be good if they teach you a little about football macroeconomics, about the impacts of state clubs on wage inflation, demographics, the impact of pay TV, China…and of the acquittal in CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sports) we will have news.”
