City launch legal action against the Premier League | Hearing scheduled for October 2025 (p 2266)

Question - with Liverpool reporting record losses the other day in a period where they didn’t recruit much on player sales. Salah, Alexander Arnold and Van Dijk all potentially being moved off the wage bill and no fees being recouped. There will be a need for them to be active in the market and replacing those players won’t come cheap. How do they then begin to go about rebuilding when their preferred method of interest free owner loans has now been closed off to them?

It's apparently reflects the season they weren't in the Champions League. They also bought four midfield players, but I suspect the big one was that they renewed about half the squads contracts, including some really big deals.

They were neck and neck with City financially (despite the ignorant narrative), for most of Klopp's tenure, but his last few seasons weren't great, while we just got better and better. As a result we've moved ahead of them. I'd expect they'll regain some ground this year, but it will be interesting to see what happens, as those three players are still right up there as their most effective.

How did they loose money when they have been ok on the pitch making money in the past and haven’t spent big ? Could it all be new stand costs in which case they are fine anyway

No champions league apparently

Nothing beats the atmosphere at the ground. Unless the PL and the clubs continue to relentlessly sanitise the match day experience and the game itself, in which case there may be trouble ahead for the sport as a whole.

I find it offensive that the TV companies, are demanding that football fans entertain, the TV soap fans. A good rendition of `the referee's a wanker` from all sides should, raise the pg ratings.

Wow, over a week since the last post here.
So when are we expecting the announcement of the damages we are getting? surely it will be before the summer as we will need the cash for all the signings that we are reportedly getting for the squad rebuild.

When City finally condemn UEFA for the Istanbul CL final coach park farce.

Since the pandemic event attendances across the board have gone up, that’s everything from football games, other sports, concerts, even pubs playing live music.

......plus more new and bigger grounds & arenas.

The circle doesn't square.
