Martin Lol Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The most expensive Barça STs are around 850 pounds But we pay more because we play more attractive football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well, I understand that London is a wealthier place than Barcelona, so they can squeeze more out of you. We could probably jack up our ST prices, since there's a several year waiting list, but it would be deeply unpopular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Xisco at Depor Wait? Really? I have watched quite a few Depor games this season in Liga Adelante and I have never, ever seen him on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 lua lua signed for brighton i think. tavernier meant to be alright smith is at mcdons, don't think he'll quite make the grade LuaLua's permanent now Tavernier and Vuckic will make the grade imo. Alnwick's meant to be a canny keeper as well, maybe back up for Krul in a few years? Thanks for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Seeing Haris Vuckic has gone on loan to Cardiff, had a look at who else is loaned out. Found Lua Lua at Brighton Forster at Celtic Tavernier at Carlisle Alnwick at Gateshead Airey at Hibs Xisco at Depor Are there any others? And who looks likely to make the grade? Vuckic could from what I've seen, Forster probably. Any others? Tav is now at MK Dons. Airey is back here after a very short loan spell with Gateshead.

You've got the big stadium already, we haven't started yet so we're raising money. When it's built prices will still remain high as the stadium loans have to be paid. Arsenal's tickets, generally speaking, are more expensive than ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 This may even be worthy of a thread, but... Grant Wahl (Sports Illustrated) just tweeted that CONCACAF President said there are talks to combine North/South America for a huge Copa America tournament beginning in 2016. That could be pretty cool. http://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/internacional/noticias/2012/02/08/pretenden-nueva-era-en-concacaf (In Spanish) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm sure we're on course for higher attendances this season as well. With all the deals offered out this season i was staying clear of how much that would bring in Filled seats bring in more money than empty seats. Ticket sales, programmes, food and drink, club shop, Shearer's bar etc. It all adds up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Depends if they included loan fees although Cisse, Zamora and Onuoha definitely cost more than £10m. The pub have messed that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerof69 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 http://www.clubcall.com/manchester-city/soriano-emerges-as-citys-main-man-1378927.html Former Barcelona vice-president Ferran Soriano will be confirmed as Manchester City's next chief executive in succession to Garry Cook. The Blues have been giving little away about their search for Cook's replacement following his resignation in September in the wake of a controversial email where he appeared to mock the mother of defender Nedum Onuoha. That error in judgement left him with little choice but to step down from his post despite earning praise from City's owners for the positive work he did in the role during his time at the club. It's being claimed down under that Australian Rugby Union boss John O'Neill had been in the running for the job but the Manchester Evening News are now reporting that has missed out to Soriano. The 44-year-old won't be able to take up position immediately as he still has some loose ends to tie up following the collapse of Spanair last week. That could delay his entrance to the £2m-a-year job for up to six weeks, but City are convinced he is worth waiting for. Soriano is very well respected in the game after becoming a powerful voice in football during his spell as general manager at the Nou Camp. He oversaw a dramatic rise in Barca's commercial success as they went from the world's 13th richest club to second behind Real Madrid as revenue soared.

Village Idiot Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Soriano? If there's a man capable of wrecking ManCity, it's him Great P&R guy though. Still, what a c***, he has left 4000 people on the streets due to his inept stewardship of Spanair (not entirely his fault, with the depression and all that, but still he was a horrible CEO that consistently lied about the state of the company) and he jumps straight into another big money glamour job.
