Two Year Academy Transfer Ban Imposed On City

[RayCTID]

Probably lost the battle but not the war,

Are we the only team (apart from Liverpool obviously) that takes youth players from other teams?
If it wasn't us, would those kids have stayed with their respective clubs or would another team do the same thing?
What happens to the kids now?

“In each case, the academy player was conditionally registered with Manchester City while the Premier League’s investigation was ongoing. As a result of the club’s breaches, the players’ registrations will be terminated on a specified date, with no compensation rights retained by the club, and the club will not be permitted to re-register them as academy players. In addition, Manchester City has offered to pay compensation to each player’s previous club, and maintain educational provision for each player until the completion of his GCSEs.”

If it applies only to MCFC what about signing them for one of the ADUG owned overseas clubs say Melbourne who can then sub contract the job to our academy ?

Sounds like a brilliant suggestion for a club that's just had it's knuckles rapped for bending the rules!
Do you currently work in Academy recruitment?

Does this include Mbabbe?

We must employ some fucking idiots behind the scenes. We deserve the ban. The club needs to sort out the staff they employ; they need a balance of the best people and people who love the club.

First we can't fill in drug testing forms correctly and now we're tapping up youngsters who are 11 & 15 years old, absolute idiots.

Sadly it would seem the people running of our club are not doing a very professional job.
Not what I would have expected and I am sure the big boss in Abu Dhabi will not be impressed.
Reminds me of the Swale's days.

 

[HelloCity]

Our club is riddled with traitors.

You think someone at our club is involved in getting us done?

 

[Deleted member 13905]

what the fuck is "tapping up" anyway, when it's at home?
every single football team does it at every level,
how else are you supposed to gauge potential interest?
it's all a load of bollox this is.

one rule for one and one for t'others,
quelle fucken surprise.

gill and his obsequious lickspittles are fools if they think they can stop us.
another pinch is all it is.
fuck 'em!

Season ticket increases will cover that fine :-p

 

[ganganvince]

Is this just mcfc that have been banned if so is there anything to stop us registering them with any other group club who being affiliated can use the academy
