The Liquidator 259 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Worst-case scenario? An asterisk against City name for all achievements since the club was taken over by Shiekh Mansour. Line was once used against my club and yes, would need alot more asterisks! But as Happy Blue points out, what you cant prove is about as much use as a Fart in a Spacesuit worn by the accusers.

Redcanuck 175 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Stories now that the American owned clubs in the Premier have asked the Premier League to join Uefa's financial investigation into City. I read in the Mail that Palace was one of the teams pushing for the investigation. Their owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer – who own the New Jersey Devils in the NHL and Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA – invested in English football on the understanding that it would be as heavily regulated as the major sports in the US. Where would Palace owners get the idea that English football was going to be as heavily regulated as US sports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,362 Posted March 14, 2019 Administrator Share Posted March 14, 2019 New deal for Bernardo Silva. Been one of my favourite players to watch this season. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47561651 Quote Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has agreed a new three-year contract extension with the Premier League champions. The deal means Silva is now committed to City until 2025 after joining from Monaco in a £43m deal two years ago. The Portuguese 24-year-old has scored five goals and picked up six assists in the Premier League this season. He joins teammates Raheem Sterling, Aymeric Laporte and Phil Foden in committing to City long term. Silva's ninth goal of the season in all competitions came in City's 7-0 demolition of Schalke in the Champions League last 16 on Tuesday evening. He has made 29 appearances in the league already this season, proving to be one of Pep Guardiola's key men as Manchester City chase back-to-back Premier League titles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,265 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yup. Was truly gutted he went to City and we still persisted with Pedro/Willian. If TFF was still around I would actually find the post where I said we would regret not buying him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted May 3, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted May 3, 2019 Man City overtake Man United as Premier League’s most valuable club Kieran Maguire is a football finance expert in the University of Liverpool Management School‘s Centre for Sports Business The value of Premier League clubs decreased by 1.6% overall to £14.7 billion, with the ‘Big Six’ (Manchester United and City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs) making up £10.9 billion (74%) of this total (2017: £9.9 billion 67%). Manchester City overtook local rivals Manchester United at the most valuable club in the division as higher wages and lower profits had a negative impact at Old Trafford. The gap between the bottom club in the ‘Big Six’ and the next highest valuation is now nearly £1 billion. The only major deal in the Premier League during 2017/18 was in relation to Stan Kroenke acquiring the remaining 30% of the shares in Arsenal that he didn’t already possess for £550 million, which valued the club as £1.83 billion. In our 2017 club valuation report we estimated Arsenal to be worth £1.82 billion. Within the table there have been some significant changes compared to the previous season, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs showing major increases, and Arsenal and Leicester showing large falls due to non-participation in the Champions League. There were also smaller falls in the value of some mid-tier clubs due to weaker cost control in a season where revenue in the Premier League increased by £253 million wages rose by £356 million.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted May 16, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted May 16, 2019 Man City referred to Uefa financial body Manchester City say they are "disappointed, but regrettably not surprised" after being referred to Uefa's financial control body adjudicatory chamber. BBC Sport reported this week that Uefa investigators want City to be banned from the Champions League for a season if they are found guilty of breaking Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. Chief investigator Yves Leterme has made his recommendation but it is not known if he supports a ban. City said, "the accusation of financial irregularities remains entirely false". Former Belgian prime minister Leterme, chairman of the investigatory panel of Uefa's independent financial control board (CFCB IC), his team looked at evidence first uncovered in a series of leaks published by German newspaper Der Spiegel last year. The reports alleged that City broke FFP regulations by inflating the value of a multimillion-pound sponsorship deal. City were fined £49m in 2014 for a previous breach of regulations. It understood Leterme's fellow board members firmly expressed the view at a recent meeting that a season-long ban would be a suitable punishment if City are found guilty. Uefa said Leterme, "after having consulted with the other members of the independent investigatory chamber", decided "to refer Manchester City FC to the CFCB adjudicatory chamber following the conclusion of his investigation". European football's governing body said it "will not be making any further comment on the matter until a decision is announced by the CFCB adjudicatory chamber". City, who won the Premier League for a second year in succession last Sunday, have denied any wrongdoing. "The leaks to media over the last week are indicative of the process that has been overseen by Mr Leterme," read a City statement. "Manchester City is entirely confident of a positive outcome when the matter is considered by an independent judicial body. "The CFCB IC referral ignores a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence provided by Manchester City FC to the chamber. "The decision contains mistakes, misinterpretations and confusions fundamentally borne out of a basic lack of due process and there remain significant unresolved matters raised by Manchester City FC as part of what the club has found to be a wholly unsatisfactory, curtailed, and hostile process." It is unlikely any punishment for City will apply to next season's Champions League because they could appeal, and even take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. City could also soon face a transfer ban, with the Football Association, Premier League and Fifa investigating the club over the signing of youth players. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48292248 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, of all the places to go he chose Juventus when there is an open seat literally calling his name back at Barcelona where he could certainly take them to CL glory? Bit odd this appointment if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
