Ric said:I'm sure some rival fans will be apoplectic at what they lazily call "financial doping", but they'd be wrong. Given what our deal with Etihad actually incorporates, it'd be entirely in keeping with recent deals announced by other clubs, assuming the report is true of course.
We may not have the same global appeal as the old top four yet, but we've been one of the most dominant forces in the biggest league in the world over the last 4/5 years. It always seemed likely that our owners would've had the foresight to have a renegotiation clause in the original Etihad deal, given the length of the deal and their plans for the club. £40m a year seemed a great deal at the time, but much has changed since then.
MrE said:Is the deal with Manchester City or CFG.
For instance if Etihad have our stadium name, and our shirts, as well as NYCFC, and Melbourne, can the group not apportion the income appropriately.... and who can argue ?
