Im secretly hoping it’s a way of generating revenue to keep us above the rags in the income table by offsetting their high match day revenue
Don’t worry the outlook for interest rates over the next couple of years should keep the Rags in check…
He liked to talk himself up to, still nothing lost and every now and again a jewel will be discovered.had a fair bit of hype around him , when he came
It might not be that we CAN'T buy anyone until we sell, but each player must "cost" at least £20m a year on average in the accounts, and with Haaland coming it at near double that before bonuses, it doesn't take much to be heading towards a loss.I get that… but that’s not quite how it works…. We have offered Haaland a large wage over the term of his contract but we don’t have to put that in an escrow account now - we just need to balance income and expenditure over time. If the club needs x million at short notice I’m certain we have a rolling credit line with our bankers.. it’s laughable that we need to sell before we make a bid. The more general clear out of bench and youth players - may have positive financial implications but I’m sure it’s largely motivated by a footballing agenda to give space for others to thrive.
City still have to work within a budget, and if that's, for example, heading for a £20m loss next season, they may decide they need to sell before they add another £20+ million in player costs.

What you say is true but the Athletic were trying to suggest we were short of funds and had limited room for manoeuvre when the opposite is true… we are good bets to take the net spend trophy away from the Dippers just now.
Looking at the players in and out, I think I agree with the Athletic :)What you say is true but the Athletic were trying to suggest we were short of funds and had limited room for manoeuvre when the opposite is true… we are good bets to take the net spend trophy away from the Dippers just now.
Alvarez???Why would we ever buy Bellingham only to loan him back?
The athletic just talk shite.Do you really think that’s true - Feels like more Noddy accounting and oversimplification from the Athletic- honestly do you really think a club with our turnover exists in such a hand to mouth manner. I don’t and I’m surprised the Athletic expect anyone to fall for such shit stirring nonsense.
We are the best run club out there
More likely we have said sign up or leave to players with a year left like sterling and Jesus who have a decent value
Gundogan is worth letting go for free next year
Mahrez new deal
Zinchenko I imagine is being allowed to decide himself
As for porro, lavia.bazunu, steffen, edozi….that’s just small deals that keep money coming in
