[give it to gordon]

This.
Stadium given to them FOC by a Sugar Daddy owner (which also applies to the Dippers and Tarquins)
Handout from the Taxpayer after WW2 to spend on the swamp as a result of their 2nd Sugar Daddy using "influence" to lobby for it.
Another handout to build the North Stand for the 66 World Cup.
Not a penny given back yet the likes of Ogden make Crass comments on Twitter about the "council house" after the club off the NHS free use of the Etihad during a global pandemic and ignore the fact that City pays millions into the local community on an annual basis from the Etihad deal.

No money given back and looking at their stadium they are going need more hand ours soon , its leaking more the UEFA !

Wonder how much the rags paid for that load of utter bollocks ?

Everybody else involved in his signing ripped the fuckers off so paying one of their media whores to write " positive " shite isn't unrealistic.

Cue David "our man at Uefa" Gill who happens to be UEFA treasurer lobbying for England to get the Euros. Choose the swamp as a venue and a "grant" towards stadium improvements.

BBC: "They fought off competition from Manchester City for Sanchez, signing him from Arsenal on a four-and-a-half year deal on an eye-watering £400,000-a-week."

That's BBC speak for over-priced, dumb-headed transfer flop. For whom they "fought off competition" by bidding 50% more than we were prepared to or than he was worth.

Also where did $400k/week come from? I thought it was closer to $500k/week

Fought off competition from City? City had already ended negotiations and walked away before the rags jumped in and offered him a deal equivalent to the GDP of a small African country.

They did in passing mention that the Scum had paid him severance pay.

Sky Sports reporting it as
A small pay off! You really couldn't spin it further from the truth. If it was a City player.....

There’s no way that a player would agree to settle two full years of a very lucrative contract for a "small pay-off".

Any professional worth his salt would demand the full value of the remaining months left.

Perfect fit for the Dab Squad.

More drip?....I'm glad I don't know what that means.

I thought newspapers were obliged to display the warning, "This is an advertising feature" when product promotion takes the form of bogus news articles.

Presumably that payoff amounts to - and I am only talking ball park figs here - £40m ???
