81 points to end the season. Not bad at all! Second half we got 33 points "only", but still, fantastic job done by the club!

Good to see Aleix doing well but a big blow for Girona already.

Not directly connected, but Manu Garcia was playing for Aris at the weekend in their 1-0 loss to Panathinaikos in the Greek Cup Final.

I check up on some of the old academy lads myself. Cheers for this

Portu’s brilliant burst seals Girona’s top-four fairytale in the perfect way | Sid Lowe

Michel’s team of misfits showed against Barcelona why they deserve their plaudits despite the big blue elephant in the room

"Red Bull managed, Uefa accepting multiclub ownership elsewhere. But Girona will have to show that City do not run the club and there will be no deals between themselves. Savinho, officially owned by fellow CFG club Troyes, has already signed for City; he cannot now return on loan, and it’s unclear what will happen with right-back Couto, who is on City’s books. There may have to be boardroom changes too, which those connected to CFG – Ingo Bank, John MacBeath and Simon Cliff – likely to leave."

I think CFG have had discussions with UEFA who appear to be relaxed about the situation provided CFG make certain changes. Note: technically it is not about City at all, but our mutual owners. Let’s hope they get it right. If they fail, Girona would have to drop down to the Europa league, which would be a shame and piss their supporters off. Other CFG targets might look askance if that happened.

Just ask the millions of opposition fans who are all experts on our finances….apparently.
