Must be nice hopefully he’s a one season wonder.

Feels like every year a winger is getting bought from Bundesliga looking like the next big thing, then ending up like Diaby/Sancho

Fingers crossed City just buying their way out of trouble.

For such a contract length they must be confident they won't be getting a hefty points deduction to end up in The Championship

It doesn't actually matter. The revenues won't be affected so much. They have a lot of commercial revenue as long as UAE are commited city are good.

Ps we all laugh at Chelsea but looks like they have innovated something with the contract lengths.

£250 million, canny

Long contracts will become the norm for players on high salaries as it allows for amortisation and gaming PSR long-term (I think  Only read bits and bobs here and there in articles about why long contracts are in vogue these days, turns out Mike Ashley was ahead of his time )

PSR only allows it to be amortised over a five year period, I think. The Premier League closed the loophole after Chelsea's shenanigans.

For PSR calculations the contract length is limited to 5 years.

I meant more that they are unlikely to end up in The Championship 

 

I mean, they still could as selling him won't be too difficult but if you are Haaland surely you wait for the outcome before committing for so long

It wouldn't even matter if they were demoted to the championship. They'd be down for a season at most. 

 

A lot of the cartel clubs fans and journos have kinda got ahead of themselves when it comes to city. As long as the UAE are engaged they will be a force. 

[gdm]

Part of me felt a bit of solidarity with City with Newcastle backing them up in court etc but honestly wish they’d get found guilty and fuck off down the leagues.

 

A bad run of form over 2 months. No problem just spend £200m. They are as much the problem as Liverpool & Man Utd are just at the other end of the scale

Aye but there's no chance Haaland is playing in The Championship, even for a season

I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed for a season in the championship. His salary is now at a point where very few can even dream of having him. Also the report means all release clauses are now removed. 1 season isn't much of a hardship.

I don't see how they are as much a problem as the other clubs, it's not even close

 

Because of the other clubs they ensure we can't close the gap in terms of revenue to the "big six", that's our biggest hindrance

Been saying this for ages.

 

Can't stand them. They are a huge problem man.

I can’t be arsed to go in to why they are a problem it’s fairly obvious. Chelsea too.  
 

Man City can’t even sell out their ground yet have one of the biggest income revenue in the world. 

[Froggy]

Apparently this new deal is close to £500,000 a week.

Well we all know where that revenue comes from

 

It's not too different to what we'd like to do (I think we've no doubt taken advantage of deals already, just nowhere near to the extent that they have)

 

I'm not saying anyone should be a fan of City or admire what they've done, I just think it's clear from our perspective that ManU/Liverpool/Arsenal/Spurs are the real scumbags

It’s going to be very interesting when their new ground extension is open and how they plan on filling it.

yeah and I think most Newcastle fans would like to spend but do it like we have been. Building a really good squad steadily year by year and not just throwing silly money at like city. City are the reason we can’t spend as much as we’d like. No one wants another city in the league so people can blame Man Utd Liverpool and Arsenal etc and rightly so but the way City have went about things since their takeover is it any wonder the rest of league don’t want a repeat of that? I don’t. It’s boring and dare I say soulless

Cheers  good to know some people actually know their stuff  

 

As for me not knowing my stuff, please refer to the part of my post in parenthesis as the excuse for me being an ignorant know-nothing whe it comes to PSR-fuckery and amortisation fuck-abouting by clubs

I mean it could be great for city. He could of course also lose form and fitness and be stuck on their wage bill for years and years. Guess they can afford it but this feels more statement to fans that the project isn't going anywhere than actual practical football decision

It’s very tourist like. My mate’s kids football team all went down a couple of weeks ago for the City v West Ham game as part of package thing where they get a tour etc which is fair enough but when he got there he saw about 3 or 4 other people he knew from up here that aren’t city fans and just went for the experience.

I can just imagine how slow & immobile he could be in 7 or 8 years time
