PCP seem to be that tbf. Then again like you say, it's the hope that kills.

Essentially HMRC claim that agent's fees of £1.9m were paid "in full knowledge that the majority would be passed on to other agents" in the transfer of Demba Ba to us from West Ham. That article is just them pressing why they requested the warrants to search SJP, the training ground and Charnley's house. Don't think much will come of this tbh, think they'll have a hard time proving that the Club knew 100% about it. (even though they most likely did)

Here's the published judgement if anyone wants to read it.

Don't like his shtick but the podcast is ok.

You could probably give him £50m and we'd be pushing for European places. Get a real #10 and #9 and we are in business IMO. Obviously still depth issues in certain area but imagine having a league average attack. We'll have Isco and Aubemayang by next season, man.

Takeover done in December. Give Rafa a billion in January.

So if there's a genuine interest from her, would it be her personally or the company she works for (PCP Holdings or something like that?) would be buying the club/a stake in the club instead of one person? A bit like FSG and City Football Group/Abu Dhabi United Group?

Think the soonest it will be will be towards the end of this season, mind. If it's true, and I'm going to let hope get the better of me and believe genuine interest is there.

Nah.

I have a Man City supporting mate, told him about this possible takeover talk and replied with "we can ruin football together, geddin". Whilst I hate that this is what the PL has come to, the fickle t*** I am really wants this to happen. Ambition at trying to get back into the top 6...

I think (almost) everyone in the ground has bought into the whole Rafalution thing can see that we're massive underdogs in almost every game we play, and SJP is quality for the atmosphere when our backs are against the wall like yesterday.

Drums have to be done well, like in time with the chants, a la Dortmund. I thought it was done well yesterday, mind.

Must be one of them.....

Nar, love Rafa me. Perez must have his nudes or something though. It fuckin is In all seriousness, that woman wouldn't have been there yesterday if there wasn't something in it; Caulkin has said there's something bubbling but nothing official as of yet. Rafa also looked far too happy in the post match interview when asked about it as well. Just praying it doesn't go silent and we don't hear about anything of it ever again.

Better not be false hope. Still, even if we got taken over by a sheikh with this woman's help and we signed either Aubameyang, Icardi, Lemar, Dybala, Asensio or Isco, bet still none of them would get in the team ahead of fucking Perez.

I'm sure a season ticket holder on here will be able to help sort you some out before they go on general sale. In fact I probably can. Drop me a PM closer to the time. You might want to keep an eye out on the TV fixtures though. They haven't announced the December games yet, so those two could yet get moved. Supposedly they're getting announced next Thursday. Cheers, that would be amazing if you could. I'd like to think they'll only get moved to Sunday/Tuesday at worst? For which I still intend to be in the city; planning a Friday-Thursday trip. I'll keep an eye out for the TV fixtures; tickets not on sale until mid November for those anyway. Next batch of TV games will be announced on the 13th October, and I'd expect the Everton match to stay on the Wednesday (even if BT pick that game it'd stay the same day/time) and the Leicester game will be Sunday at worst I expect.
