[Manc in London]

For my sins I was listening to Talksport a few weeks ago and Jordan said our squad cost 1.2 billion to get to where we are now and then added up the players cost and included everyone we ever bought like Maicon Bravo Nolito etc.
When he was questioned about them no longer being with us, he compared it to buying a car, trading it in and buying a new one.
The man's a buffoon.

Well, we are getting close to a billion just from playing in the CL, so money well spent.

 

[The perfect fumble]

It'a cost, as that's in the accounts. Value is subjective.

Thanks.

That's an insult to buffoons.

 

[big gaz]

Did our squad COST more than a billion pounds, or is its VALUE more than a billion?

Proud to show off his Garry Neville book what a f**king tosser.

 

[Bill the Blue]

We've ALREADY WON 4 OF THE LAST 5.
If we win the league this season it'll be 3 in a row and 5 out of 6 !!!

Pep out..!

Manchester City report club record revenues of £613m​

By Simon Stone BBC Sport

City's success has not come without controversy.

In 2020, they were successful in their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after initially being found guilty of serious financial fair play breaches by Uefa's Club Financial Control Body.

The Premier League's own long-running investigation into the club's financial fair play submissions is noted within the club's financial report.

"The club acknowledge an ongoing Premier League investigation linked to the speculation resulting from the illegal hacking and out of context publication of club emails," it said.

Slimey Stone...

Who knew?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I'm not sure if this is right or not but I heard at the time the hack was revealed that City had been tracking Coutinho but on the strength of the scouting database info Liverpool stole they jumped in and bought him for peanuts. And of course sold him for so much money that it covered them for every player purchase for years.

Has anyone else heard this?

There were definitely rumours about our interest in Coutinho, but beyond that, I can’t remember if their interest was sudden or longer term.

I wouldn’t put it past them.

Ah Mark Ogden, remember when that tart got offended by a traffic sign ha!

Oh please do tell me more!
Wasnt he the one who took the piss out of Harry Kanes speech.?

Have Liverpool actually spent that Coutinho money yet, I'm not so sure they have?

They have, even if they haven’t received all of it. They took out a loan against the final payment from Barcelona, so if it hasn’t been paid, neither has that loan.

 

[Centurions]

Absolute state of this

Ogdens trolling both clubs surely?

I know mate, was just being daft

 

[jrb]

Ogden is right.

There’s nothing like watching 2 fallen football giants playing each other in 2 meaningless knockout round play off games to get into the last 16 of the Thursday Night Europa Cup.

Give Ogden a break. ;-)

Don't know about Coutinho but I think it accelerated our interest in Fernandinho because we heard they were sniffing around (presumably prompted by the scouting reports they stole).

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I know mate, was just being daft

Who knows who Barca owe money to these days?

 

[LongsightM13]

They have, even if they haven’t received all of it. They took out a loan against the final payment from Barcelona, so if it hasn’t been paid, neither has that loan.

Not a loan as such, they basically sold the debt to a finance house for about 10-15% of the gross in exchange for the cash up front

Ogden hasn’t got the nous to wind anybody up, the bitter Heywood rag ****.
