This has actually gone up now to €1million for a win and €500k for a draw and our woeful performances have cost us loads of money in bonuses, TV revenue, and all the money that comes from the knockout stage. For a club so determined to comply with Financial Fair Play, our break-even projections probably expected progress in the Champions League this season. We've made a fraction of what we could have so from a financial point of view could be seen as something of a disaster, which will have been noted by our money men. I find this to be overlooked by a lot of people who say "Fook European football, I just want the league", the well-being of our club is linked heavily to our success (or consistency) in Europe. The better we do in Europe, the more funds we'll have to spend on players and wages.

Yeah, concerns about the financial implications of our premature Champions League exit makes me a Rag! Piss off with your simple minded nonsense.

LoveCity if I wanted to know anything regards my beloved club that, I didn't know, I reckon you'd be the 'go to guy'.
I was taking the piss. Fucking hell what you have forgot ain't worth me bothering about.
Read lots of your comments on 'General Forum' so I know a football fan when I see one.

I apologise then for not reading your sarcasm, I'm a bit wound up tonight like many Blues after our German surrender. I do think a lot of Blues are overlooking this issue though of us losing loads of money from our crap European forays, we need to fill up the treasury with "real income" or else Platini is going to try and hang us from the gallows.

Will be out of his hands
The new execs are the prelude to the inevitable I feel - we are seriously underperforming and it has to stop - I see Bob´s out with the fookin excuses once again
Bar replays no midweek exertions in cup comps - the excuses have run out

Underperforming whilst winning the league probably speaks more about the daft expectations of City fans than it does to Mancini.
"He only won us the league, get rid of him"

No more crazy than Bob himself admitting to having other jobs lined up.
Football is a ruthless world, with no loyalty and it works both way round.
We are a shadow of lasts years team and the responsibility for that lies with one man.
Bob knows that and as shown by his admittance of looking elsewhere himself, it would appear he couldn't really give a rats arse either so people on here shouldn't get too upset imo.

He was out of contract at the end of the season and you're slating him for having a fall back option?
Unbelievable Jeff.

No, just pointing out a little fact to those that think he wants to be here for the next 20 years and anyone suggesting otherwise is some form of devil worshipper!

He was out of contract and had a fallback option in case his main didn't come through and therefore he's disloyal and doesn't want to be here.
As I said, unbelievable Jeff.
