From Matt Gregory - how the bitterness shines.

11. Manchester City (£139.1m)​

Yes, really, the megabucks Emirati-backed champions of England aren’t even in the top half of the net spend table, a surprise result facilitated by making the better part of £100m this summer from the sales of players like Julián Álvarez – they’ve now made money in two of the last three seasons, which is a bit unexpected. Things look very different if you start pushing the timeframe back past five years, admittedly. They did all the really serious spending to get this squad together a few seasons back. That said, it’s worth noting that these figures only look at transfer fees and don’t include, say, the absolutely gargantuan signing bonuses and agent fees paid out to secure Erling Haaland’s services.

Does he have any evidence for his last sentence?

Of course not. I'd love us to pursue this kind of bollocks, so beloved of our rivals.

They'll write anything for engagement, but we've really hurt this one. Nice one.

No where near what the rags paid raiola over the years and not a peep about that

 

[Bald fraud]

Yep. Another couple of years of them winning fuck all and us winning plenty, will mean a complete generation of kids will have never seen them win the league. We are on the cusp. It's why the PL are just so desperate to stop us.

Yep

Surprising to him because he’s a fucking charlatan.

Emirati backed....??

Does he mean Arsenal.... ??

I think he should understand that City are privately owned by a Sheikh Mansour controlled company & Silver Lake, an American Entertainment company.

Not difficult eh .....unless your a duplicitous,maliciously,lying **** !!

Easy to get geography mixed up, 'GITG'!

A few weeks ago I was in conversation with a lady who'd moved up to Stockport from the Northamptonshire area, whose daughter & family had been trying to follow suit by moving to Manchester.

After some tribulations trying to find a property within their budget, the daughter had just told Mum they'd finally found a gaff in 'North Didsbury'

I opined that I'd never heard of 'North Didsbury'.. to which Mum said 'The house is big Edwardian semi just off Burnage Lane..'

Bl**dy gentrification, even affecting Burnage now! I blame the Gallaghers and their £multi-million profits from all that 'Dynamic Pricing' they've foisted on on the public this last week or so..

House for sale, ‘Chorlton border’

That’ll be Whalley Range then.

But don’t you realise:” They are all the same.” Just the usual racist narrative.

Fuck ‘em!
