Just waiting for their next big transfer.

I hear they are activating Nick Powell’s buy back clause of £172,000,000

The whole financial debate really pisses me off.

At the end of the day, to get from where City were 12 years ago, to win the league and maintain a challenge most seasons since.....you have to spend a shitload of money. If you didn't, you wouldn't have broken the original big 4.
I would like to think that this is logical.

So the throw away line of City overspend blah blah is becoming tedious, especially from the special one, how much have they spent in the last 20 years or so?
The fact is, the "rag way", now does not exist...the class of 92 are long gone, and they clearly now have a manager who does not handle pressure particularly well, even if some of it is probably trying to deflect from how shit his team are playing.

Finally, there is how the money is invested, City have definitely spent wisely, and filled in the gaps,that were needed in the team....but,it isn't just that.
It's the infrastructure across the globe that is being put in place, that teams under the wider City umbrella, being taught to play the City way in many different countries and continents, which will be feeder teams for years to come, it's fuckin genius in truth, groundbreaking, the foresight is astounding.

So the whole financial debate is about one thing......the media wanted the original 4 untouchable, their job was easy writing about only 4 clubs, where they were probably on first name terms with most of the staff..... they were the darlings of the premier league.

Well, there is a new team in town, sadly not mine, but a team and fans worthy of success...and by God, you are going to be around for a long time, as it isn't just the current first team performance that is exceptional, it is the building blocks going on behind the scenes for the future, that is even more impressive.

Cheers SM and bang on the money

Aww bless poor dears, the ****s are second ffs, you would think they were going into administration




someone needs to point out, that in 3 of those instances they only came back because we (in a more kinder time) looked after them and helped and their last relegation we sealed.
