Not at all weird from the BBC Sport crew at MUTV City.
A reminder that he will still earn less than half the salary the £75m flop a massive one year older than him is currently on

It's such a stupid take. Why wouldn't a six year contract, and substantial pay increase, be a good deal for Foden?! It's a great deal for both parties. The desperation to put a negative slant on it is laughable.

Even Jordan on TS acknowledged its a great deal for both party's, contrast and compare to the Sancho salary which went through without all this guff.

Leeds owner wants enforced FFP rules

Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani says Financial Fair Play rules must be enforced to ensure Premier League clubs are "playing the same game".

www.bbc.co.uk

I like this part:

The Premier League's own investigation into Manchester City for breaching Financial Fair Play rules has yet to reach a conclusion, although the Blues escaped significant sanction from Uefa when they were cleared of all the major charges around manipulation of sponsorship deals at a Court of Arbitration for Sport appeal last year.

So, the BBC think we got away with it even though we cleared of any wrong doing. Twats.

That is disgraceful and whist i don't expect City to kick off at every little dig, they need to address this. How do you escape punishment whilst being cleared?

What next a John Smith escaped being sent to prison for a very very long time after being found innocent.

I think the difference is we were never in danger of being relegated under Hughes, Newcastle on the other hand are currently in a precarious position under Bruce. We had time to look, time to assess, time to identify the problems and, most importantly, time to identify the right person to solve those problems. I don't think our owners get enough credit for the appointment of Mancini, absolutely the right man at the right time. We had an inferiority complex born out of 30 years of being dominated by United. Mancini carried none of that baggage and saw the challenge as an opportunity rather than a problem. Newcastle's problems seem more basic than that, more to do with poor investment, poor recruitment and poor management and so I can't see any chance of Bruce getting any leeway.

Fully agree - especially with who was still in charge at the swamp, it definitely paid off recruiting a winner with little ties to the English game at that point..........

And inferred we manipulated our sponsor deals that libel..

Escaped by a technicality...i.e. we'd done fuck all wrong & they couldn't pin anything on us.

Actually it says cleared of all major charges. I still think it's cheek coming from someone who originates from a country where owners of certain clubs have huge financial investment from companies they also own.

The latest episode of the “Remember when the Redshirts were good?” BBC documentary series really is laughable. 90% about the fucking rags on the field and now even dragging out Andy Walsh the FC Ego Trip conman to propogate the self serving lies about their fanbase being hardcore socialist revolutionaries rather than a rabble of entitled bellends and tourist pricks

I caught a Point of View clip from 2 weeks ago. SameIt showed a football coach and a pic of a familiar fat old man, provoking a double WTF. It went on to say there had been many complaints about that same programme.
A female Norwich fan (not Delia) complained her team had led the league for most of the season and didn't get a mention. She said it should have been called 'Glory, Glory, Man Utd' as it was all about them.
Another viewer complained that it was made to look as though there was no football prior to 1991 and a third complained that it was entirely predicable, the same old stuff as always.
The BBC didn't comment. They showed more of the coach clip with the rag fans more visible and the old fatty was a present day Cantona, telling everybody the next programme would be on Monday. It came over as the BBC didn't give a toss for anybody else's views. A metaphoric V sign to us all.

Lots of speculation this morning on the BBC web site that Sterling is wanting away. Is that why the mods have closed his performance thread, or has he already left?

Nah it's just people like you posting nonsense.
No he has not left , to answer your question.

Lou Macari chippy on BBC Breakfast this morning.

Did the father from Sale shoehorn the present day rags again?
I feel sorry for him of course but when he was spouting a few weeks ago it was a case of wrong time, wrong place.

 

[homerdog]

he supports.....The Rags.

The reason for this is because he felt sorry for them when Blackburn won the league on the last day of the season in 94/95.

Lying twat, he started supporting them when they started winning everything, like the rest of the rag wankers.
