So which is it ? Are we a lottery winning council house tenant or a desperate payday loan customer ? Not sure how we can be both at the same time.

Both...
We spent all the lottery winnings and are now skint again. To support our newly established lavish lifestyle we have had to take out a few payday loans... :-)
It also shows uefa and the prem we operate just like any other club, it etablishes a paper trail and that we are not being subsidised by the sheik putting his hand down the back of the sofa and pulling out the odd 60 million or so .
Yes, this is common practice in the prem, because the window is ahead of the first tranche of TV money. Several clubs have done this.

Replica football shirts costing £107 made by sweatshop workers 'on 75p an hour'
EXCLUSIVE: Workers in Thailand making Manchester City shirts will be paid just £7.53 for a 10-hour day but the jerseys cos nearly £103
Followers of treble winners Manchester City will stump up the huge sum for their special edition shirt – while Chelsea fans will pay £102.90 for a top to mark their victory in Europe. But the Nike shirts cost just an estimated £3 to produce.

These practices should be highlighted (if true), but to single out two specific clubs is just disgraceful!!!
What must it be like to be a journalist these days, and have to swallow your pride on an hourly basis to publish shite to the masses? I don't care what the financial inducements are, integrity is priceless to me!!
The thing is someone is now going to have to stay behind every friday at the stadium to pay the tally man. I hope they remember to get the book signed ech week.
Wrong Hoeness told the media that Sheikh Mansour just puts up the oil prices to pay for our players.

Yet Dan King and the Sun couldn't help including in the article the tag line "But City, backed by Mansour's billions..."

Contrast with Liverpool and United shirts, which of course are hand sewn by retired gentlewomen in Cheltenham on a minimum of £20 an hour, and sold at a loss because these clubs do things the right way.

Even scousers don’t take the Sun seriously. The only people who do need to ask their kids to read the big words for them.
A bit like the fully qualified physio's running onto the pitch to treat injured footballers and dabbing them with a wet sponge as you know 99% of the time they are not injured in the slightest, it would make me sick to the stomach doing that 10 times a game.
Journalism is nearly dead in the water, all about those clicks.

My new definition of "journalist" - paid liar.
Fancy being paid big bucks to spout shit all day! Jammy buggers.
