Village Idiot Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Pacheco. What an overrated player. Who is actually rating him at all? Funniest thing is that the Barça youth team they filched him from had a ton more talented players. Thiago, Bartra, Romeu... yet they ended up with Pacheco. They might not have agreed to a move, but it is still funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 What's their wage bill? Any reliable data? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 What's their wage bill? Any reliable data? Manchester City made a financial loss of £121m in the 12 months to 31 May 2010, the first full year of ownership by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the club will announce today. Their income of £125m was entirely eclipsed by the wage bill which, for all staff, rose to £133m, up from £83m. That meant the club spent £8m more than their entire turnover on wages alone. The result of Mansour's investment, now up to £500m in all of City's operations – most spectacularly by signing a squad of international players, several on wages of more than £100,000 a week – is the second biggest financial loss in the Premier League's history. The highest was that of Chelsea, who lost £141m in 2004-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Rosenborg need to buy a new striker that actually know how to score. Also, Austrian refs need to learn the offside rule. Also, fuck Greece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 The blog Swissramble.blogspot.com pulls them together. As said above, 133M in 2009/10 (107% of turnover). By way of comparison, Man U's was 132M (46%), Arsenal's 111M (50%) and Spurs' 67M (56%). Remember, this is last year's figure. Some others from the previous year - Chelsea 149M (68%), Liverpool 90M (57%), Aston Villa 61M (77%), Everton 49M (62%). City's will almost certainly have gone up loads for this year, although increased turnover will offset it somewhat. It would be nice to think that Tevez leaving will mean they miss top four, but even if they do it will not make much difference (other than guaranteeing a Mancini sacking).
