Nice… except
‘nation-state project club’

And basically having a dig at Pep saying he was redundant.
It seems Alfies lad is that good he doesn't need a manager, well certainly not one who innovates like Pep.

But at least @Ric liked it.

Ha, I didn’t realise we were at the stage where people aren’t even allowed to mention articles they liked in this thread.

Where have you been? Anyone that isn’t Martin Samuels gets hammered for any article in any format.

It was all over the media today. The Scum(Sun) picked up on it basically rehashing what Keegan said saying "according to the Sun". I stopped reading at that point.

Well Mr Murdoch, you can roll up your scummy joke of a newspaper and shove it into Uranus because most of the moon residents don't give a flying fuck what lies and shite you allow to go to print. Tabloid twats.

Surely you won’t find Liverpool fans believing something written in the Sun? Be against their moral compass wouldn’t it? Rats

According to the Daily (we're getting sued to f*ck) United, Haaland's weekly wages are now almost £900k. His wages have gone up again since the exclusive by Simon Stone in the Daily United.

What a load of shit, why have we not yet banned this totally anti City obsessed pile of crap from the ground.

They are just making this up, no mention of the riches the club gets in prize money and every top player will have bonuses in their contracts.

Amazing when the entire Media World were wanking off over the possibility of th Dippers winning 4 trophies last season, none of them did a story on how much Salah wages would be a week with bonuses.

As if no marks in the media have private and confidential player contract information.

Notice no stories on how much PR7 is being paid a week to sulk on the bench.

The problem the MSM media have, is that Haaland is the new world footballing superstar and he plays for City. Messi & Ronaldo are yesterdays footballing news. Neymar & Mbapee play in a no mark league so their exposure is limited to some degree. Haaland and City play in the biggest, richest, most popular league on the planet. Therefore the exposure and publicity that comes with it is insane. They simply cannot handle or refuse to believe that the biggest name in football on this gods earth plays in a blue shirt at the Etihad. It is genuinely frying their brains and boiling their piss on a scale not seen before. The MSM were absolutely achingly desperate for him to fail. After the Charity Shield match they were cock-a-hoop. Haaland was a dud and Liverpool's Nunez was a sure fire hit. A couple of months later thier biggest nightmare scenario is being played out in front of their very eyes and still some refuse to accept it. Haaland will increase our global profile on a scale that we can't even imagine. Kids in every country and around the world will be wearing shirts with Haaland on the back and the City badge on the front. This is what scares them to death and keeps them awake at nights. For 12 years there has been a clear, obvious, blatant and explicit media campaign conducted against Manchester City Football Club. They thought that the FFP charges were the answer to their prayers. Remember the reaction across the footballing spectrum at every level when that wheeze failed? Haaland brings with him and delivers us everything they have tried to stop us having since the takeover: Worldwide exposure and popularity. Increased sponsorship. Increased ticket sales. Constant TV, radio & newsprint time and column inches for all of the right reasons. We now need to win the Champions League and hammer the final nail in their coffins. It is the only stick left they have to beat us with and they know Haaland will be final piece in the jigsaw that enables us to do it. You can smell and feel the fear. In every desperate, pathetic newspaper article. In every bitter SKY & BT TV program. In every rancid talkSport radio show. When it happens their game is over and they have nowhere else to go. They tried and almost achieved in wiping us off the footballing map. I for one will never forget or forgive what they have done and what they have tried to do us and nor should any other City fan. You reap what you sow and their deeds and actions are about to be harvested.

I want to be PPT when I grow up. What a post

Couldn't care less how much Erling earns and don't understand the preoccupation the media has with it (other than the obviously negative City slant) He's the best player in the most popular league of the most popular sport in the world. He deserves to be paid the same as the top stars in the NFL and NBA.

BBC sport today. With Chris Sutton we have Hibs and Scotland player Ryan Petaurous who is a man utd fan. Thought this was all gone after Lawro pissed off. But there again we are talking bbc sport so no different then before. Just search every footballer pop star or rock band that follow the red tops and get them on. Wonder who our last guest was that supported the blues?

 

[Cityfan1977]

The daily Mail has Haaland on 45 m a year while Forbes has him on 31

I think I will believe Forbes on this one.
And good to know that the prince from Egypt gets well paid for his 2 goals.
