Everyone says that we have a set price etc.. which is great but it could be problematic if we have cases where we negotiate for a player who’s all in on joining us and the deal doesn’t go through. This can cause players in the future to second guess committing to joining city as they don’t know if we can close the deals or not.

That could be problematic as the club always targets players who want to join city and only city.

poppycock

Not to be a pedant, but our threadbare squad did something never done before in English Football.

They entered and won the Champions league as Champions, and won the treble based on performances rather than fluke.

Whilst making it 3 Premier league titles on the bounce

Does anyone question Txiki ‘s incredibly powerful position? Genuine question. ONE man entirely responsible for so much? Is this the same at every top club?
How did he get the post? is he regarded as the best at what he does - it seems our owners must think so. Is he the Adrian Newy of football?
Hired as a negotiator only I assume. So the board and Pep tell him what they want and it’s his sole job to sort it out. Problem is, he doesn’t seem to me to have the success at that that I’d like to see.
i haven’t seen anyone questioning him here, is it a no go zone for chat/opinion by mere supporters because he’s untouchable?
what does anyone think?

Got to be on a wum seeing as you’ve been in this forum 14 years and post shite like that.

I reckon this thread hits a thousand pages and it's game on.

It would already be there if the post deletion fairy wasn't on a mission.

True but majority of that will be covered by the increase in sponsor money on a achievements written into sponsors.. City ain't daft they'll know we likely to win stuff and players will get bonus on us winning trophies so they will have must of that covered..

Some without doubt has come from sponsors but not all and I would imagine the total will be a very large sum.

I have no issue whatsoever with incentive contracts , it's the only way but it is also a factor in terms of FFP, one we should not forget.

As I said, I hope it's BS. I don't really trust anything I read on the internet. I consider it gossip, and I really want it to be just that in this case.

Why would you hope its BS? He did not state in anyway that the deal is off, just stated the obvious, that City will sooner or later be looking at alternatives IF they cant get the deal over the line. Why do people think that means he says the deal is off or anything? I fail to see the logic behind that reasoning.

as far as i know txiki is the director of football,incharge of scouting across all our teams, i'm not sure he actually negotiates anything , that is left to omar berrada(sp)who For his current role, Omar is responsible for managing and optimising group football operations for almost 100 teams across 11 clubs on 5 continents, managing several departments across CFG including player transactions

because on here 2 + 2 doesnt equal 4, it doesnt even equal 5, on here people get 2 bits of information add them together and make some fantastical nonsense where the world is ending

 

[Stoned Rose]

For someone who writes a lot, you mustn't read very much.

Txiki bashing on here is a daily routine for many.

Must admit I’ve never called mine Txixi.

 

[grim up north]

If this is even remotely true then I will be of the belief that txiki struggles to close deals that do not involve any type of a clause.

Lol
