Collar slightly different on replica to pro version.

The original article doesn’t read as Douglas implies, find it hard to believe there would be this much uproar if they were just challenging the amendment part surely.

The PL is fucking rotten the way Sky/media would wank themselves silly if City activated Bruno’s clause, would just about finish me off with football. They’d all miss the point that a club trying to make the league more interesting and competitive has had to sell a key asset to comply with FFP and quite what he’d bring to City would add nothing to the leagues appeal. The media are just as much to blame for this current top 6 situation and their cronies with links to these clubs lap it up.

It’s not the first time this has rumoured.

Really good and some interesting new pages such as supporters clubs, registering interest in new 24/25 memberships and off site match day hospitality at Gaucho’s on first glance.

Ashley is a parasite simple as but Hall sold us all down the river, his story about thinking Ashley would expand us globally through his tat wear is laughable. He milked the club through shares issue, rent, family members on the wage bill and ultimately sold the club with Shepherd on his sick bed to the first bloke who offered him a big enough profit. Will always be grateful for the Entertainers era but that’s due to Keegan and players, yes Hall was a catalyst but his motives were always money and he’s the reason we had to endure the following years which killed this club in so many way on and off the pitch.

What a great name.

Spot on.

The PL left it so vague that they could try and capture every scenario to stop deals happening, so blatant and hopefully illegal. Problem still bugging me though is that this is a private arbitration and not a CAT tribunal, still wouldn’t get my hopes up to much that the Chair isn’t waited heavily on PL’s side.

Fender and Harry Palmer duet apparently on top of new club shop roof just before opening, might not be for kids though with Palmers edgy lyrics.

Most embarrassing NUFC support on the big stage ever, like a non league club on a big day out when nobody knows the songs.

State of those self entitled cunts, everyone would be happier if they fucked off and joined the Irish league.

Ultimately PL market themselves as a global brand and have enlisted a company to determine FMV, how can this company reliably determine FMV in relation to the Saudi company and what sponsorship of us will bring them financially, it seems a very difficult calculation to make and fraught with complications due to the unique position both ourselves and City are in.

Surprise surprise red tops and PL feeding their journalists.

On the back of the City legal action and forthcoming sponsorship of the wheelie bins at SJP, my new transfer wish list looks like this - GK Gio CB Diomande CB go on then we’ll still humour Brexit Eddie with Kelly. RW Olise CF Sesko CM Ederson Fucking hell Man City might wish they’d left well alone.

PIF will continue to run us sustainably they’re not a charity, but we’ll just not be hampered by anticompetitive measures implemented to curtail our progress and maintain the current cartel.

What is the make up of the private arbitration panel, this was a stitch up during our takeover and one we wouldn’t have won regardless, isn’t this similar and City will have only been able to pick one of the panel ?

I agree and would go all in on a first choice to replace Pope this summer, if Trafford isn’t 1st team ready as some have suggested, it’s false economy and we should add another 15 million to get the right bloke.

It should be a priority unless your 100% confident Pope won’t pop his shoulder again, a repeat of that and where fucked.

The best outcome is the manager realises Hall is the best option and plays him, we also sign a premium CB with pace who actually improves the starting 11 such as Diomande, Tobido, or Scalvini. Starting the season with Burn and Schar isn’t taking us to the promised land.

A right sided CB with pace alongside a right sided forward are the 2 main priorities, sure Tosin on a free is appealing, but think there’s far better CB’s available that we should be ploughing a big part of the budget on if necessary, it’s a vital position to get right.

Ederson would be a great signing and would give us 4 elite midfield players on paper, he’d definitely fit the bill as a Howe midfielder and think he’d be our best defensive one when needed to plug that gap. If we go down the Mbuemo route I think Howe is going full on Klopp, with 3 pressing midfielders and 3 forwards in the Diaz,Gakpo and Jota mould. If that’s the case another top line midfielder to cover Bruno and Joelinton injuries is essential. The drop off to Bruno getting injured would be Longstaff and Anderson, if we’re relying on a 4-3-3 we need another top drawer midfielder to compete over a season.

Think Mbuemo makes sense as can play across the front 3 and seems to assist and score goals. Cant see us being in the mix for Sesko, or an out and out striker and can fully see Wilson still being here next season. No way will Howe want to lose another experienced voice in dressing room after recent releases. Still think where lacking a creative player like Bruno Fernandes who would make all the difference and for me that’s why we’ll probably still come up a bit short next season in terms of winning a cup, but fully expecting us to be challenging for top 4 with no Europe.

New website is very slick and new range is very good, starting to look and feel like a big club again.
