To be fair, van Dyke IS a good player, the weather in Manchester IS pretty shite, but we were right to sell Sterling, so he's wrong on that one in my opinion.

She was obviously not a fucking expert. Just a 'look at me' I'm on the telly so I'd better say something.Just heard a women's football expert on Radio 5 talking about the importance of getting more investment into the WSL and she added: "We need to avoid a situation where a club like Man City just pours money in and there is no parity with clubs like Reading." England would not have won the Euros without the investment made by Manchester City. The vast majority of the England team (including Ragette Ella Toone) were coached and developed by City. Perhaps we should stop investing and leave it to clubs like Reading. The ongoing distorted coverage by the BBC is a joke.

Oberdorf got away with 4 (FOUR) fouls and poor tackles to boot early doors, mainly on Stanway.Cant have it both ways..meedja again..oh there's no time wasting or rolling about like the men!..then when it matters of course we do...meedja knobheads again just make shit up to suit their narrative
You just knew the first time Stanway went near her..... Bang, yellow card.
Incidentally, the media calling it 'shithousery' was typical. When men's teams get at it, it's either 'clever game management' or 'running the clock down'. The only shithouses are the alleged journalists who look on the women's game as an easy target.

Didn't get her name but she was from the FA and had responsibiity for female football in some capacity. It's pretty disturbing that she had a pop at Manchester City who helped develop ten of the players who took part in the Euros Final for England (including playing subs). It shows you how embedded the culture of ignorance is within the English game about Manchester City. It was on BBC Radio 5 yesterday in the teatime show. I am sure Lucy Bronze who won five trophies with City (and first played in the CL) would not agree with her.She was obviously not a fucking expert. Just a 'look at me' I'm on the telly so I'd better say something.

Building the new academy training facilities and providing an infrastructure on the football side of things that is equal to what the mens team has at City was probably one of the reasons why that trophy was lifted on Sunday. United don’t have anything like that and members of their team have been pretty vocal about the facilities they have being really poor at United.
Being the best at every level and at every format runs through the club, whether that is the mens first team, The EDS or the womens teams. Probably why England won the final on Sunday but also why the England team in Euro 2020 got to a final for the first time in a long time, both with a lot more City players than any other club.

BBC article about the discrepancy between mens and womens wages uses City as an example. Doesn't give us credit for pumping more money into the Womens game though.
The amount of money clubs bring in is the key factor in governing how much they can pay players.
Take the example of Manchester City. The men's team is current Premier League Champions and reported £571m in turnover for the 2020-21 season.
The club spent 62% of that revenue on players' wages, according to Deloitte, which works out as £354m.
With a squad of 30, that equals an average £11.8m per player.
Compare that to Manchester City's Women's Super League team.
Its accounts reveal £2.9m in turnover for 2020-21 while its wage bill is reported at £3.3m.
That works out across its 44-strong squad and staff as an average of around £75,000 per player per year.
Why is there such a huge discrepancy?

It's womans football !! Australia dicked 7-0 by an under 15s lads side last week ! They can payed the same as men if they get 52k each game and bring sponsorship money like the men do ! That's why the average attendance will be 1500 next season once the excitement dies down !She was obviously not a fucking expert. Just a 'look at me' I'm on the telly so I'd better say something.

The Dippers had a team for many years. They were relegated due to being rubbish.In this frenzy of saying how women's football was neglected for years, has anyone asked why the rags and dippers were so late establishing team.
The Rags also had a team until they were shut down by the owners and later reestablished.

Perhaps they can persuade those two "community clubs" LFC and MUFC to invest something but I am not holding my breath.Basically, she's saying we need investment in the WSL, just not from City.

They can't even be arsed being even slightly honest and either not including the staff in the womens calculation or vice versa.BBC article about the discrepancy between mens and womens wages uses City as an example. Doesn't give us credit for pumping more money into the Womens game though.

Sorry @Prestwich_Blue but you are saying the bbc, the bbc breakfast no less, silly Sally Mike One Jacket and the rest of the reds under the bed had an ex City player on, one who is now the manager of City's women's team and allowed him to big up City and City's ladies, at breakfast, on the sports section, of the bbc breakfast 'show'.I'll try to explain. There's an organisation called 'the BBC', which stands for British Broadcasting Corporation. They make something called 'television' that involves moving pictures you can watch on a screen. With me so far?
As part of this, they do a 'breakfast show' that goes out on said television around breakfast time and where they talk about things going on in the world. This is presented by professional people who work for them but they usually have guests on. The manager of the City Women's team was one of those guests.
Can I put, yeh, I'm gonna put whoosh.

I've just checked the accounts and the Women's Team is currently loss-making and in the last 5 years, we've put in an additional £4.12m in equity funding. Hardly a "bottomless pit".Perhaps they can persuade those two "community clubs" LFC and MUFC to invest something but I am not holding my breath.
Re-established purely because the money was starting to come in. Their facilities are shit.The Dippers had a team for many years. They were relegated due to being rubbish.
The Rags also had a team until they were shut down by the owners and later reestablished.

Your correct , i doubt Aldridge has the dexterity to use a keyboardHe doesn’t sit in front of a keyboard. He meets a journo in the pub and spouts some nonsense for the journo to transcribe into an article under Aldridge’s name.

It may well be a great opportunity going forward if the WSL can cash in on the England boom. You would think some of our female England players could attract serious sponsors. It may be possible to do joint deals with the men's team. We could also attract more female fans to men's matches. I am pleased that our club remains at the forefront of the women's game. With the new arena also coming on stream (and all its commercial opportunities) this is a fantastic time for City.I've just checked the accounts and the Women's Team is currently loss-making and in the last 5 years, we've put in an additional £4.12m in equity funding.

the 'off the ball' youtube channel had that prat on from the guardian still trying to say haalands rebelling against city. but then goes on about klopps masterstroke i couldnt laugh anymore at these so called journalist.
