Football is the one area business where investment and ploughing profits back into the business are considered bad.

Well if you wear a certain shade of blue.

Driving home put on 5 live for the sports news. After the tennis (always first on), the cricket, then the football news: Gareth Bale hasn't decided what club to go to, followed by the Chelsea women's team have announced a series of dates in America this summer. That's it. Nothing else of note to report then. Now if one of their favourite red clubs had bought Haaland I'm sure they might have squeezed a report in.

The BBC Sports reporters along with their News compatriots are utter Arseholes and should be ignored as the utter imbeciles they are

watching sky sports at 3pm when we announced him at 10am is asking for trouble. Breaking news this morning, yellow banner; interview the works. Bare in mind this signing has been known for the last month or two now. It’s probably had more coverage than expected due to how open it has been.

Remember when we signed Fernandinho and the media were all informing us that Spurs had got the better deal by signing Paulinho. I've already seen articles claiming where Nunez is the better player in a number of areas, with figures taken from last season when Haaland spent part of it injured. If they are as correct as they were with Paulinho, I don't think we have much to worry about.

Also Nunez has had one Stellar season in the Portuguese League were a one time stand out CB was one Elequim Mangala. There’s also common talk that his Technical Skills are somewhat lacking. Could it be after a run of top buys (by any account) the Dippers have shelled out on a Donkey?!

Agreed.
Someone needs to tell Jordan that our owner ploughs more money back into the club than Liverpool's.
All in accordance with the rules and makes good business sense for our owner.
If Liverpool 's owners don't wish to do that it's also fine.
What's the problem Simon?

Jordan proves he is a total bluffer when it comes to his comments on finance. He clearly doesn't understand how global football clubs operate in the modern era. For a start off net spend is a false concept to measure anything because investment on players is balanced over the period of their contracts not over a 12-month accounting period.
He also seems unable or unwilling to understand how City's business model works. Owning clubs across the globe (and investing in campuses with arenas etc) gives huge leverage to increase our sponsorship revenues.It also allows us to spread our service and back office costs acrosss multiple centres. He really doesn't understand why we have become so successful on and off the pitch. No wonder he destroyed Crystal Palace. Apparently he was privately educated. Looks like his family wasted their money.

I think Simon wants to base league positions on actual positions subject to retrospective accounting adjustments like net spend and possibly other factors.
This would probably mean league positions would not be known until some time after completion of the fixtures.
At least though it would ( in his world) be fair.

Did you post this, on this thread rather than the "City kits" thread, because it's as gash as the media?

Sky Sports News top of the hour at 3pm.
3 mins on Haaland followed by 10 mins on Nunez ha!

Guess no one has yet added the cost of Nunez inc wages over the contract, agent fees like they do to us. Mind you none of the media mentioned wages when the Dippers expensive signings like Alison, VVD signed new contracts
