PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I am sure there is a very effective chain of communication Guardiola/ Begiristain > Soriano > Khaldoon > Mansour. I doubt anything is happening in the wider sense that they haven't all agreed to. That doesn't mean mistakes can't be made, though, and it seems increasingly clear some have been made. It happens.

I don't think the squad has been left to rot, either. A bit melodramatic.

And, finally, in time I think you will see the owner and the board will know exactly what to do.

I'm glass half full, you know :)

It’s what the glass is half full of that worries me

Soriano only cares about the CFG.

Anything that happens at the club stops with khaldoon. For whatever reason he seemingly has dropped the ball on the squad.

He clearly has no time to focus on city so needs to appoint someone who can. Leaving it to pep and txiki has warped their thinking.

A strong leader would have seen the squad collapse was inevitable.

Despite what I wrote earlier about setting budgets, I don't think you can blame Khaldoon for the "squad collapse". Nor Soriano for that matter, and I don't even like him that much. Mansour and the board seem to have decided not too invest too much for a couple of seasons and to generate income from the academy (and the fans, of course). I have no idea why that would be but I am pretty sure it would have been for sound business reasons.

The fact that it has gone tits up for a while couldn't really have been foreseen despite what anyone says. There were some risks, yes, but the pressure put on a small squad in the last two months has been almost beyond belief.

Glass half full again :)
 
He's doing the exact job that he's employed to do. He chairs the board. It's not his fault that others think he does more than that. Soriano is the CEO and does all the things that you seemingly want Khaldoon to do.

Why not let BM posters have a direct line to Khaldoon, seeing as so many fully understand all the issues and can provide the cures quite esasily ?

Soon be sorted .
 
Soriano literally works every single day at City. He doesn't run the CFG. Everybody at the executive level is doing the same job now as they were doing when we won a Treble or 4 in a row. Khaldoon doesn't run City, has never ran City, and is not expected, employed or even allowed to run City. Nothing has changed, you're making up reasons to be mad at these people.
I’m not mad at them at all. The opposite in fact. You can’t tell me due to past success that the top brass hasn’t taken their eye off the ball when it comes to city.

People get complacent all the time no what what sector they work in.

The group that includeds Khaldoon, Soriano, Txiki, Pep and anyone else decided this squad was good enough to win the league again and obtain top 4.

Clearly they have gotten this one wrong. Last season we barely got over the line. Form towards the end nosedived with a cup loss to the rags.

This is not an attack but a fact the decisions made have been wrong.

As fans we make decisions on emotions and I would say nearly everyone of us was delighted with the squad going into the season. However, we are fans and only see glimpses of what is going on.

Those who do make the decision made a hash this time around. We got to comfortable, too much patting ourselves on the back and didn’t do what was needed last summer.

The club is run fantastic in some aspects. Recruitment has been poor now for a few seasons. Collectively they have all failed to keep us top.

Soriano is CEO of CFG, not CEO of Manchester City. He isn't running City when he's in New York, in continental Europe, or anywhere else CFG has a club.

So is the COO a higher position than that of a CEO Colin or the other way around ?
