Maybe the £650m is to buy Barca :) :) :)

Fixed that for you

They surely don't need another £650m to build it, though?

The £475m raised by Silver Lake was expected to be used towards it and the concert arena.

Admittedly, buying and building in New York won't be cheap, but would like to think we can use some of this new money towards what matters to us - improving on the field at the Etihad!

Of course, though if CFG have suddenly secured a decent priced former commercial/retail site in New York then borrowing at favourable terms might simply be the cheapest and most efficient way of funding it rather than dipping into our Silver Lake “WAR CHEST” which can be retained for other purposes eg City. Imagine if there was also a new concert arena next to a new stadium in New York? Now that really would be a licence to print money

Mirror reporting City have listed Sterling for sale.

Might make sense now his value is very high again

or north stand expansion?

Read the mirror story about Sterling, what an absolute crock of shit. So he's available for sale but on the other hand it's unclear if he'll sign a new contract. Another made up pile of shit again

Can't see that until the arena is finished, another 2 or 3 years.

Didn't think I'd be liking this sort of news last summer.

Just shows what I know/when a player 'gets it'.

 

[Keeper!]

So let say revenue generated from live concerts /events doesn’t count towards ffp coz infrastructure is not included?

Part of the refurb of the Bernabeu includes shops, hotels , restaurants and hotels, so I cannot see them wanting any of that not to be classed as revenue for ffp.

i was just wondering if they would want the stadium and surrounding area done to match the shiny new arena? plus only having one end done fucks with my OCD! lol
