Hes Nordic though

The two terms are not interchangeable or synonymous.

I imagine the glazers casually sticking £2bn on top of a more realistic valuation and also saddling any new owner with huge debts is an issue.

You’ve got to love those guys,

When did he lose it? :-)

He’s not Scandinavian; he’s Finnish.

Let's let ChatGPT adjudicate;

The terms "Nordic" and "Scandinavian" are related to the geographical region of Northern Europe, but they refer to slightly different areas.

The Nordic region includes Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, as well as the self-governing territories of the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland. The term "Nordic" is often used in a broader sense to refer to the cultural and linguistic connections between these countries.

The term "Scandinavia," on the other hand, refers specifically to the countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. These countries share a common history, culture, and language, and are sometimes referred to as the "Scandinavian Peninsula."

While the terms "Nordic" and "Scandinavian" are sometimes used interchangeably, it is important to note that they have slightly different meanings and implications. In general, "Nordic" is a broader term that includes all of the countries in the Northern European region, while "Scandinavian" refers specifically to the countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden that share a common cultural and linguistic heritage.


Both partially correct.

Blaming the FA and the Prem because the glazers won't give the club away for peanuts. City called for independent regulation but it's us who are ruining football. Hope the glazers put 10bn price tab on it and continue to drain it dry.

Just read that one of the bidders, the Qatari I think, has upped their bid again to 6bn. Thought the deadline was Wednesday, but then again the fax machine did break again and the bids were all sent to the wrong place anyway....

Loving the circus. Appears to me that none of them could find their own arse with both hands. Heartwarming to think this season is the oddity for them and next season it's back to the fight for sixth.

Sportswashing? Or does that not apply to red teams?

Why are we getting a daily update on who has bid or made an improved bid?! There is a fee glazers want! Is it 6b? So these 3b bids 3.5b bids they ain’t going to except! Maybe 5b they’d consider or it’s not worth while them selling!

I bid an empty milk carton but they haven't responded to the email yet.
