Dunno how true this is but it claims the rags sold 1.7m shirts in total last year.

Sorry 2020.

They have McTominay and Fred.

Is that a clothing brand in Tesco?

scored against Sunderland and there was a media campaign to get his Nationality changed to English

I believe that campaign was started by the Belgian media

Baffles the life out of me that so many fans and so-called expert journalists don't understand how this works (or refuse to acknowledge it for 'bants').

Nike don't pay millions and millions of dollars in shirt sponsorships to just let the clubs pocket all the cash from sales, effectively losing money on every sale while the club gets paid twice.

Shirt sales go to the sponsor. A club signing X megastar doesn't "recoup that back in shirt sales" no matter what Dave in 'Footy Bantz group' on Facebook says.

Also a point to remember is that, when Adidas sells a shirt to say Sports Direct, they probably sell at under £30, any extra is SD's profit.

If they hit rock bottom again they'll pop out in Australia.

I think woodward is still travelling back from that pre season there to do some business ;)

Hopefully there are some corners in Australia, otherwise they won't know where to turn.

I'm pleased to see that, notwithstanding the interimness of Ralf they are setting up a long-term hierarchy to sustain success. Who could argue with the appointment of the vastly experienced Darren Fletcher as technical director ? And when Ralf moves on to become a "consultant" the club is set fair.

Not surprised Ronaldo has upset the balance of that dressing room. Maguire, despite being captain has been usurped and his authority undermined, Fernandes isn't happy at no longer being the star player, while Rashford and Greenwood aren't happy having to become glorified James Milner's to do the donkey work Ronaldo isn't willing to do. I think City played a blinder here by pretending to be interested...
