Lol they actually think an extra £200m a year. It will be more like £40m after VAT is removed and merchandised added in. It will take them at least 5 decades to pay £2bn off and that's assuming low interest ( never going to happen) and the £2bn cost not increasing which of course it will in fact it's probably already £2.5bn

They have no desire to ever pay off the debt only to grow revenue & build the debt further.

They won't sack a second manager in the middle of one season.

Have you based that on the fact they aren’t a sacking club.

Correct.

The club will agree to let him leave on mutually agreed terms.

We just had our New Year’s Day swim here in Southern Spain, as always I wore my City onesie. I invited all the rag fans I know and saw today to a party in May, when they asked what the occasion was I said the rag relegation party. Most took it on the chin but one in particular was most dischuffed.

You and Damocles are really breaking out the verbiage this year!
Hats off...

No. More the feeling that it would be seen as bad PR, and an admission that they got the Amorim appointment wrong.

It always the same circle of coach is the issue and then the players. Mix that with the ownership/structure sometimes as well. They have spent enough and not recruited well isn't an excuse that I buy. There is much more wrong there and no one knows how to solve it.

I think the single biggest issue, and it’s the Constant, is the fans and ex player media, who think they have a god given right to be great, and won’t support the sort of consolidation/restructure that’s been required. They ‘demand’ certain players, irrespective of whether it’s what they actually need.

add to that the constant idea that ANY player who has one good game for them is now the greatest player in that position that has ever played the game, you saw it earlier this season zirkzee scores a tap in against fulham and its a masterstroke of a signing, theyve bagged a bargain, same with mainoo, garnacho and now amad, they and their pet press cannot and will not accept that they are mid table players and just cos they put on a rag shirt doesnt improve them and the weight of expectation when compared with reality crushes them.
