[Protein Junkie]

Hit me with your relegation stick.

Are you saying the PL are both Judge and Dury ?

They're definitely 'Arseholes, bastards, fuc..."

It raises an interesting question. He was initially COO for Manchester City when I was on City Matters. Danny Wilson was, and still is, Managing Director of Operations for City. Then Omar moved to COO for CFG Football Operations. He was replaced by Roel de Vries, but de Vries is COO of CFG. Soriano is CEO of CFG.

City are around 80% of CFG, based on revenue. In terms of global brand recognition we're probably 90%. Yet we don't have anyone more senior than Danny who is wholly responsible for managing City's off-field business. No club specific CEO or even COO. That level of management comes from CFG.

NYCFC has a CEO and i bet the other clubs in the CFG structure also have a club-focused CEO. But the club that makes up 80% of CFG doesn't. I simply don't understand this and wonder how much of a part this might play in our seemingly poor recruitment planning and strategy.

I've also expressed my concerns about the composition of the City (and CFG) boards, which contain no executive or independent directors. People say we're a well run club but I have my doubts.

I’ve mentioned this recently but got told I was talking rubbish and being silly, I even got the old “sniff sniff” comment.

Lets hope that when the verdict is announced we have plenty of reasons to be cheerful.....

Lucky bastard. All i had was a Scalextric

Not only was i jealous of other kids that had Scalextric, i was also jealous of kids that had train sets and action man. This one kid had a big garden and he had action man tanks and all sorts. I did get to play with them one time but he controlled everything so i never went back to his house. rich git.

I was listening to a podcast recently and Ian Cheeseman said he’d heard whispers but can’t comment until reports are verified,

…it sounds to me like this is related to the charges, I would imagine that the players have heard things too and wonder if this is related to our drop (off the nearest cliff) in form??

is the wipers he heard the 40 point deduction that's been mentioned in this thread
