Doovde - I wouldn't sit on the fence for much longer, you will get a numb-bum

Fact - City hadn't won a major trophy since 1970..

Fact - Money comes in

Fact - They win!

Fact - Thate the PL

yeah agree with Serial, strict global wage cap is the only way imo, although you'll still get planks saying "well they do have a short career and they have to think about their futures" I'm sorry but if you end up skint after being paid 10s of thousands of pounds a week for 10-12 years then you deserve to end up on skid row.


(Rant over)

RRP - You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Way City are gashing the cash they'll soon have no one to consider rivals

Dont forget it potentitally helps Man C more than just financially and by getting him out of there.

We cannot play him against Man C, and If he does well for us against the other big teams thats helping them by taking points of more direct rivals..

spurs top 4...more like top 10

1. Chelsea
2. Don't care
...
20. Spurs

City will put a season ticket on sale for £100 million and one of their owners will buy it with the £100 million being seen as income
------------------
UEFA have already said this can't happen as any income has to be seen as fair value.
With regards to Adebayor if they're only sending him on loan it works really well for City as he can help you beat or get a result against their rivals for the title but he can't play against them

THUNDERKISS-

i've wondered this for a while now,city really could manipulate things using the free transfer system.....

like you say,adeybayour could score the winner/vital goal vs,manure(next time )chavs,and others and can't play against you guy's....

Thunderkiss - I was only stating an example of what COULD be done, i expect these new rules to make no difference what so ever, teams will find a way round out and FIFA dont have the balls to take action!

hmmm like the 400 million deal for "naming rights" of their stadium, Ethiad Airways is ultimately owned by the same mob who are bankrolling City. It stinks but nothing will be done by UEFA.

Yeah they'll find a way round it but just saying that if anyone sells anything for 100 million it'll be looked into, as the city stadium naming deal is. It's just a way to keep the big name clubs at the top table.

Lets hope FIFA actually back there own rules for a change, otherwise football will lose its sole, its already started

But they've already been very clever about that money, the naming rights is for the stadium, the shirt sponsorship and the soon to be made Etihad resort and spa or whatever it's called. Because nobody else has anything like what they're planning it's hard to say it's not fair value for what they're sponsoring

ops,my bad.

Thats the problem I guess, this kind of backing is unprecedented, commercially this is in a different statosphere even to the likes of what Barca, Real and Utd can generate...

United getting their training kit sponsored for 40 million?? I'd think this should come under some scrutiny, that's more than most teams main shirt deals! But way to turn a blind eye to that people!

Spurs will compete so will arsenal Liverpool, nothing is set in stone because we have spent money, man u an Chelsea are still the teams to beat!

I thought they may look into the dhl deal too, if they carry on the shirt might look like a formula one car
