La Liga want Man City investigation

I wonder if the plan for Girona is to use the CFG to raise them up to the verge of CL qualification and then sell them at a huge profit? If so you'd want to time it just right.

Perhaps this worries the Spanish authorities??? (nah?)

I see and hear comments about our Arab owners and Russian oligarchs when discussing foreign owners and City and Chelsea are always highlighted.

What about other clubs foreign owners

Arsenal Russian and American, United American, Bournemouth Russian, Leicester Thai, West Brom Chinese, Southampton Chinese and Swiss, Everton Indian, Liverpool American, Swansea American these clubs are either 100% foreign owned or have majority foreign owner.

These owners are not on a small scale nearly all have multi billionaire owners yet the spokesman of Barcelona states Uniteds money comes from football. Does it hell. Money comes from noodle sponsorship and exploiting fans to buy duvet covers and shirts and basically selling your soul to the god of money

What the difference is is that some owners of clubs choose to invest money into football whereas others choose not to and indeed some owners choose to actually suck money out of football we are looking at you Arsenal and United and that is the bigger scandal

There's nothing wrong with regulation of the game is it's done properly. The problem with FFP is that the existing dominant clubs devised the rules themselves for reasons of self-preservation. This current episode of Barcelona pressurising UEFA underlies what FFP is about. Self preservation. Too late for you Barcelona.

Watched 1st half of Argentina v Venezuela last night, we should stay well clear of Messi and I am not joking. All the tricks are there but the acceleration is going. Another Sanchez/Aguero. Only Ronaldo seems to be able to keep the effects of age at bay.

Perhaps the plan is to see whether City or Girona are better suited for CL if both qualify.
 
Javier Tebas is currently speaking at Soccerex. He's just said this, apparently without a hint of irony:

The bloke's having a proper meltdown by the looks of those Tweets Stone is putting out. Tebas is also saying ""I don't think CL income can be shared the way it does now. That will damage football too." I wonder what he means by that? Seems to be a swipe at the PL clubs getting a better share of CL income due to our TV deal to me.
 
Another one that made me laugh:

So he hasn't got a problem with £200m being spent but the teams who are spending it. Pretty much showing what we all knew, that the 'established elite' wanted a closed door so nobody could touch them, that's basically what he's saying. He doesn't want FFP, he wants a system where newcomers can't touch Real, Barca and by default United, Bayern, Juventus etc...

Fucking hypocrisy of the highest order. How about his league shares domestic TV money like the PL does and sets up a level playing field?

Not sure that we can expect anything other than self interest from any of the historical leaders of football no matter what country they represent..

Absolutely Col. Although most of the digs are at City and PSG, I think that particular comment shows he also has issues with the amount of money PL clubs earn from TV rights. He's a fucking prick and you'd be hard-pushed to find even the most biased of City-hating opposition fans coming out with such blatant hypocrisy.
 


What Tebas doesn't say is that ADUG, based on the valuation when our Chinese investor took 13% of the shares in our club, now have an 87% share in an asset that's worth far more than the sum of what they spent on acquiring it and have invested in it. Almost no one seems to take that on board. We should be pushing this line more vigorously.
 
I'm led to believe that Tebas is a Real Madrid fan. Obviously, everyone knows that RM have been bankrolled by the Spanish government at various points down the years but does this clown not realise that Real have also recently received a huge chunk of Abu Dhabi money recently to help redevelop their stadium? Jesus wept!

Spot on Peter. This is a particular bugbear of mine when arguing the toss with opposition fans, etc. If the sheikh were to sell the club tomorrow, he would get back everything he's put in so far plus more.

I'm not sure how City should react to this lunatic but maybe a quiet word from our owner to him highlighting Abu Dhabi's investment in the redevelopment of the Bernabeu might just get him to wind his neck in.
 
Thought this 13% the Chinese bought wasn't actually 13% of Manchester City football club? But something totally different could wrong

The club should be putting this sort of stuff into the public domain more aggressively. They should be making it clear that our summer spending is balanced by the wages and amortisation of the players we've sold or released. They should be making it clear that we're no longer relying on the Sheikh for money but are self-sufficient. They should be making the point that the sale of a stake to the Chinese investors valued the club at £2bn as you said Peter. They should get Nissan to be our shirt sponsors at double the price Etihad pay.

However much Tebas and others talk bullshit about us, it becomes the message if nothing is put out there to counteract is. People take our silence as meaning that we have no answer to this shit.

Spot on.

Same goes for attendances, the club's silence is letting people run away with the "Emptihad" / "plastic fans" bull shit.

It's about time the club's PR strategy changed from complete silence, to actually defending the club and its fans.
