Yes and I can prove that.

Remember when Aguero got a retrospective ban for a supposed elbow on Winston Reid? The ref was Andre Marriner and his initial report said he saw it and didn't see it was a red card offence. He was asked to change that to say he hadn't seen it (so Aguero could be retrospectively charged) but initially refused.

He was then promised the League Cup final if he changed his report, so he did and he got the gig. I told people on here about that well before his appointment was announced. This came via a senior source at the club.

Then there was the Adebayor celebration after his goal against Arsenal. Clattenburg booked him for it, which he was entitled to do as goading the opposition fans is an offence. However the Head of the FA was an Arsenal fan called Ian Watmore, and on live radio on the Sunday morning, he said Adebayor would face a charge for his actions.

The problem was he'd already been booked for it, which would normally preclude a further charge so they had to find a way out. The involved getting Clattenburg to change his report to say he'd booked Adebayor for time wasting. So he could then be charged and got a suspended ban. I was at a meeting with club officials at that time and they were absolutely furious about it.

If that's not corruption then what is it?

Adebayor was also punished under a fast track scheme introduced by David Gill so he’d miss the Derby the next weekend - a fast track scheme never used again.

Who are all these staff. That’s about 500 in total now isn’t it? What the do they all do.

It's mind blowing actually.

Redundancies like that normally means a closure or huge downsizing yet they have to carry on as they are.

Not even the Rags would have 500 people taking a wage for no output, (playing staff excepted).
They must've been doing something?

Yes, but, who gives a fuck!

Adebayor shouldn't just get a statue; he should get an art installation reliving the goal and 30 seconds afterwards - some of the best drama I've ever been privileged to see at the Etihad.

Scum, and Tarquin scum.
 
I drove past the Swamp yesterday on the way to our game.

I noticed a huge low level old warehouse in front of the SirPC stand. Next to that are huge Club car parks.

The point I am making is there is plenty of room to redevelop the dump of a ground without the need to go anywhere near the railway line and freightliner yard!

A new bigger ground could be built, even rotated as they did with Wembley and Spuds Hart Lane.

So why the insistence on saying any new and bigger ground has to be on railway land?

Must be to do with bullshit land values or whatever. Move the railway yard so Rags buy that plot for pittance then sell off land they vacate for a fortune.

It stinks a bit. Why don't they just purchase the warehouse and car parks I mentioned, if they don’t own them already?
 
Just heard they need to replace all training balls with those cheap fly away balls.

Love watching these crumble
 
Happy to watch them implode from within in full public viewing, its leeping my spirits up during our stumbling transition but wondering why it all gets publicised. Is there some ulterior motive for the way they don't keep all this cost cutting behind closed doors ? Are they legally obliged to make these stories public...and if not why ?

In total 450 jobs gone....what did these 450 people actually do ?? and if not, where did they hide ??

It's quite baffling isn't it.

The total job losses from the two rounds of redundancies represents 40% of the total workforce.

I find it pretty inconceivable that 40% of the workforce were all blagging a living doing pointless and unnecessary non-jobs.

And I find it equally inconceivable that any business can shed 40% of its workforce and carry on functioning and operating at the same level it always has.

Laying off 25% of their staff shows you how deep in the shite they are , they employed near on 1100 staff , even 250 staff on an average earnings across the board at £50k annual salary is 12.5m a year, when you think that that’s only less than a years wages for Rashford binned in one foul swoop , then it puts it into perspective how royally fucked they are.
Then you have Borada , sending out emails , that any member of staff leaking any further stories to the press will be disciplined with the sack.
They’re more in the shite than anyone thinks.
There will be plenty more stories coming out about that shithole - I for one , if approached by a journalist for a tasty £50k would lift the fucking lid on that charade.
I feel sorry for the staff being made redundant, as it’s a life changing issue through no fault of their own.
But they will escape real ridicule , and that shows us more than ever, just how much the press drink out of the trough at that rancid shithole, they won’t say a fucking peep of significance about it.
It’s all about the Glazers again is the immediate narrative being peddled out.
Delicious isn’t it , makes Peter Swales look like Elon Musk.

You're forgetting the 200 that have already been let go, so 450 in total, which is 40% of the staff.
