  1. Man City are set to retain their place at the top of Deloitte’s Money League - an annual profile of the highest revenue generating clubs in world football - for a third year in succession and widen the gap on Real Madrid.
  2. You see, you don't know the facts mate. we wasn't caught red handed at all. the judge ruled it couldn't be presented but we had proof we was innocent of that charge anyway, infact we have asked in this current hearing if we can present that evidence to clear our name completely Basically the whole thing was about something that was brought up in the uafa investigation and it boils down to some guy paid the money on behalf of Etisalat in 2 payments of 15m one in 2012 and in 2013 and that person was connected to our own, however those by a broker acting on behalf of Etisalat who was having cash flow issues, and city shown evidence at the cas hearing showing Etisalat repaid the money a year later, so basically Etisalat used a broker and intermediary to pay their sponsorship to city and then Etisalat repaid it a year later, so in essence Etisalat borrowed the sponsorship money, this was a time bared offence at the time. Basically this just allowed Etisalat to start their sponsorship agreement earlier when they didn't have the money, but IGT allowed city to add it to their 2012 financial figure, but this is just a everyday business thing that lots of companies do called invoice factoring where companies get paid straight away but its paid back at a later date, it is just a general business thing that gets done all the time. Yes it was time barred but it would have been dismissed anyway similar to the same accusation made about Etihad, that was within the statute of limitation but was found to NOT be true by case and city was proved innocent on
  3. Your going to be disappointed mate, we haven't cheated and even more confident now, they have gone over the charges and only found two 15million payments that THEY couldn't work out where they came from, City knows lol ...think morgan is going to end up in trouble here, they have looked into a court case and leaked information that's a big nothing burger, people just read a head line and go along with it without knowing the facts
  4. If your rereferring to the Morgan hit piece there was nothing new or exclusive in it cant believe that's all they had lol, shocking and desperate, absolutely nothing for us to worry about, out the 115 charges they could only find 2 that they couldn't work out where two 15million payments came from which all will be revealed in court ..even more confident we are getting cleared now after that Basically the whole thing was about something that was brought up in the uafa investigation and it boils down to some guy paid the money on behalf of Etisalat in 2 payments of 15m one in 2012 and in 2013 and that person was connected to our own, however those by a broker acting on behalf of Etisalat who was having cash flow issues, and city shown evidence at the cas hearing showing Etisalat repaid the money a year later, so basically Etisalat used a broker and intermediary to pay their sponsorship to city and then Etisalat repaid it a year later, so in essence Etisalat borrowed the sponsorship money, this was a time bared offence at the time.

  5. Manchester City currently has over 500million sat in the clubs account and could get close to 172m in player sales alone this summer, we can be debt free again anytime we want
  6. Bayern have been farming prize money a long time yet they still come cap in hand when trying to buy players
  7. I wouldn't even have Grealish in the first 11, Foden is far better in that position and so is Bernardo
  8. Kevin De Bruyne will miss the start of the new season due to his hamstring injury. The Manchester City star hobbled off towards the end of the Champions League final victory over Inter Milan earlier this month. And scans have since revealed De Bruyne, 31, has suffered a Grade Three hamstring tear.
  9. Yeah, the coil tap on my LTD taught me that with the quick comparison your able to do ..that's good then, my Jackson performer needs a complete rewire but i've had it since the 90's, the plastic covers on the back have melted due to being left Infront of a fire, the whammy bar has snapped off in the trem and the tuners are shagged too lol ..i'll restore it at some point, Nazgul or fishman modern in the bridge and maybe satin black paint work
  10. That looks really cool mate and bet its great for cleans? how's the wiring holding up, everything working?
  11. Yeah ..if your going to banjo someone with a guitar a tele or les paul would be the weapon of choice lol, them some heavy bits of wood. glad it arrived in one piece with the US postal system, did they just chuck it on your lawn as they was driving past? or do they knock on the door for big stuff? ha
  12. I wouldn't mind the black Dave Murray Tele with the double humbuckers. my very first guitar was a tele copy when i was 13 so have a lot of nostalgia attached to them, and frustration i don't currently own one, always found the necks a bit chunky after mainly having Jacksons with the speed necks but would be nice to have one in my collection
  13. As important to the team maybe, as good? no. De Bruyne is one of the best long range passers and finishers in the game with a total of 31 assists this season and 10 goals compared to Gundogans 7 assist and 11 goals
  14. Yep, no matter who we bring in it will weaken us with the new player needing time to settle and learn Pep's system
  15. Looks like Kimmich is a none starter, Munich don't want to sell, not showing any interest in Mbappe too Walker is now having contract talks so might stay Gundogan looking likely to leave and has been released, real blow he's got a few good years left in him but still in talks with us so lets see Gvardiol & Kovacic just a matter of time Bernardo & Laporte got offers from PSG but think Bernardo is waiting to see if any other clubs come in for him
  16. Pep Guardiola has reportedly already spoken to Manchester City transfer target, Josko Gvardiol, over a potential move to the Etihad Stadium this summer. Earlier this week, Fabrizio Romano claimed that negotiations are progressing well for City in terms of agreeing personal terms with the RB Leipzig defender.
  17. Walker to Munich? ..so many players looking to leave this summer, Pep's assistant gone too, going to need about 7 players this summer just to replace the one's going. bids have come in for Phillips too, i think Gundogan would of signed now if he he was staying too with only 2 weeks left on his contract, going to be a rebuild this summer and a new looking City team next summer It's a madness, we losing nearly a full team of players, most getting on a bit but still a lot to lose in one window Walker - Laporte - Cancelo Mahrez - Gundogan - Bernardo - Palmer Possible replacements Gvardiol, Kovacic we need a fast world class winger Ederson Dias Gvardiol Akanji Stones Rodrigo Ake Foden De Bruyne Bernardo Alvarez Haaland BENCH:- Ortega, Lewis, Walker Gomez, Kovacic, Phillips, Grealish, Mahrez, Palmer
  18. 16/06/2023 A claim has been made that Riyad Mahrez is now open to a move to Saudi Arabia, with just two years left on his contract at Manchester City. This comes from a report by The Athletic journalist Sam Lee, as the £60 million (Sky Sports) man, after it was revealed on Tuesday that Al-Ittihad were desperate to get the deal done.
  19. @Stan Al Ahli have made a big money offer for Mahrez Other news Kovacic:- everything's agreed Gvardiol:- advanced Rice/Phillips:- swap deal possibly Gundogan/Bernardo/Laporte/Walker/Palmer:- exploring options
  20. It's a life style thing with him, he doesn't like the English weather and wanted to move for years, he's won everything now so he might go for it and we get a good fee from them for him
