PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Gordyola]

I think United increasingly tried to distance themselves from the poisonous briefings especially after Ratcliffe came in. Ferguson has always been pure poison off the field but these days has little influence. I heard a few years back that the biggest drivers were LFC, Arsenal, and Spurs. Certainly Parry is not a friend of City. So perhaps Ladyman has a genuine source.

Walker, Akanji, Gündoğan, De Bruyne and Ederson all came to the end of their time with us

With no succession plan for these players, i would say that the club was culpable of mis management
We've said for years we're the best run club and don't make rash decisions
The fact we let the squad age and made rash decisions on signings proves this fact wrong

Yes, poor planning but not poor buying

 

[KS55]

One of the problems with players coming to the end of their careers is buying players that are capable of taking over, but are happy to sit on the bench for a year or two.

Either that or sell some of the legends before their time is up.

I dont think were being mismanaged, I just think that regenerating a successful team isn't as easy or quick as some make out.

Sure we've made some mistakes but theres no club in the world that doesn't do that.

Manchiseruni’ed never make a mistake.

No succession plans for Ederson? Apart from signing two goalkeepers, one often cited as the best in the world! You have a case regarding KDB, Walker, and Akanji but sabotaged your case by linking Ederson.

I think Donnarumma isn't the best replacement.

The whole team plays a completely other way and I don't think the styles will match. Hope I'm wrong but I really have this feeling Trafford is a much better fit for City in the long term and Real will also want Donnarumma soon enough.

We'll find out I guess!

“But Bellingham didn’t want to sign for us, Rice didn’t want to sign for us, Wirtz didn’t want to sign for us, Livramento hasn’t wanted to sign for us”

So the bigger question has to be, why the hell not? The most successful PL team of the last decade, what are we doing wrong that this level of player prefers our rivals every time?

Every time??? So we've never signed anyone decent then?

In Wirtz's case I believe it was around an extra £7million or so for his dad.
Bellingham is a dick and as long as he didn't sign then I don't care about the reason.
Rice wanted to stay in London.
Newcastle wanted too much for Livramento.

Plenty decent, but since Haaland not many of the absolute top stars. It’s allowed Liverpool and Arsenal to catch us up.

If it’s something as simple as greasing the palms of family just do it, £7m is peanuts to City isn’t it.

Some people think the premier league is Scotland or Germany …..it’s just beyond nuts to me that so many blues are becoming so entitled to the success- questioning Pep and the club so soon after THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PERIOD OF CLUB FOOTBALL EVER …….

I mean wtf are we becoming - maybe this is the payoffs of success, happy to take it as I never dreamed of these days for the first 30 years of my life “we are shit and we know we are” and “city till we die” etc…..the songs go on - that’s the city I will always love and be proud to support - pride in battle, we are going to claim that crown back off Liverpool, maybe not this season but I’m enjoying the rebuild !!

All management eventually gets fat, lazy and complacent. I don't see much wrong in what Khaldoon has done, but that is one area where eyes have been taken of the ball. Loyalty is a great virtue but sometimes ruthlessness is needed.

Not anymore – INEOS bought out Mubadala from their joint venture in 2010. Right now, Mubadala is orchestrating a merger of the petrochemical companies Borouge, Borealis, and Nova Chemicals. The new “supergroup” will become a pure-play giant in plastics/polyolefins, and a global competitor to INEOS.

Because sometimes players want to play elsewhere, plenty of players have come to City and not gone to Real think Silva, Aguero. KDB wanted to come to City when Bayern were in for him Sterling wanted City when he was at Liverpool. Haaland also only wanted to join City. If they don't want to join us fuck em.

Polyolefins.

Sounds like an Orbital b-side.

Never that simple though is it? Wirtz and family flew to Manchester and toured the facilities so a bit of a stretch to say he dint want to sign if the rumors are true then the deal that Liverpool offered him and his family was far in excess of what City were prepared to offer Might be wrong but I feel that City pushed the fee up for Rice as he never wanted to leave the London area Bellingham has a father who is a greedy prick

With a 25 man squad, and with long term playing contracts, how can you enact a succession plan? You have to implement it simultaneously with the sale of aging players like Walker, KDB, Gundogan, Ederson.
