PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Keeper!]

Ominous that Mancini has resigned as Italy manager.

Could it be linked to ‘off-shore payment accusation’?

 

[Keeper!]

Maybe he was about to be pushed ?

Lost 3 of their last 5 games.

Roberto is always short term, love the guy but he has a shelf life and a short one at that.

Why are transfer fee so high right now ? Saudi ? A new TV deal ? I know prices always seem to go up and by a lot but this summer seems on a different scale and not sure why

I see it as a combination of things, a perfect storm of Arsenal being excited at last years title tilt and having to spend to support Arteta.
lfc owners under pressure to spend
Tod Boehly
United always spend big because they'r galactico
Brighton players are seen as guaranteed good purchases so clubs are paying through the nose.

Separately.. I am impressed by our spending last 3 seasons :

1		Chelsea FC	€1.18bn	92	€527.79m	91	€-655.91m
2		Arsenal FC	€676.90m	64	€108.50m	60	€-568.40m
3		Manchester United	€660.78m	62	€96.69m	57	€-564.09m
4		Newcastle United	€508.05m	50	€58.93m	49	€-449.12m
5		Tottenham Hotspur	€577.90m	61	€198.27m	52	€-379.63m
6		Aston Villa	€419.29m	63	€186.67m	62	€-232.62m
7		Nottingham Forest	€260.03m	100	€27.43m	90	€-232.61m
8		Liverpool FC	€420.35m	43	€188.15m	47	€-232.20m
9		Leeds United	€346.99m	61	€119.43m	62	€-227.56m
10		Manchester City	€583.90m	83	€359.97m	80	€-223.93m

Because ultimately like Delaney, they’re extremely thin-skinned and not interested in a good faith discussions.

Equally they don’t want people who can form an erudite dismissal of their bollocks replying to them.

Yeah I understand that, but if the MO is to earn money or credit with media organizations, then surely the more interactions they have the better?

TBF, Jurgen still hasn't spent £100m on one player :)

Gazumped!

And now 60m for Lavia, cheers Jurgen another 9m for City if the 15% sell on is true.

Arsenal should be delighted that Chelsea have spent more than them.
Imagine being top of the net spending league and thinking that you are a well run club that has won fuck all.
