Jamie Carragher was on the TV last night admitting we are witnessing one of the greatest managers of all time. I couldn't agree more. 14 seasons, 11 titles, across 3 countries. 3rd Champions league and a treble on it's way. He's about to go past Sir Alex, for me.
I don't take anything he won at Bayern serious tbh. It's like winning a trophy at PSG, think Bayern get a fairer treatment than PSG that they dont deserve. Even Dortmund is a Bayern feeder club
Their net spend isn’t particularly grotesque. If their revenue is far lower than a Liverpool or United I don’t think it’s fair that they have to spend less if they have owners willing to subsidise it and the club isn’t in danger of not fulfilling its financial obligations. The Premier League is happy to dump a load of parachute payments on clubs too **** to finish 17th and thus make it harder for Championship teams to progress.
we all know they are shady like Chelsea not long back and now the Toon who are denying all connection to the Saudi government and their blood money. Little bits of evidence pops up but no one will take it seriously till about a decade down the road by when the damage to the league will already be done. Which other owner has ever been pushed out like Roman was? It took a war for the authorities to grow some balls…until then it was just ignoring and excuses and back handers for the government and PL. The Toon…everyone knows the owner is the Saudi government but they have put the Stavely’s husband as the face of it all and that seems to be enough to be ‘fooling’ the authorities. but as usual the streets(and watchdog) know
Same with £ity £2bn squad Manager with an offshore bank account 2 year suspended sentence ban from european comps for flouting FFP 115 separate financial irregularities Bent teams.
I remember within the first 6 months of purchasing City, the owners announced a new sponsorship deal worth about £400 mill for the training complex…the chairman of that company was one of the City owner’s brothers please log in to view this image But this place amongst many others is full of Pep cucks because he ‘still had to put a team together’ My positive energy for them only comes from the fact that they…who were quite irrelevant as rivals other than to United before 2008 get in the way of trophies for clubs who we do have footballing rivalries with. Same with Newcastle now…irrelevant to everyone bar Sunderland and at a push Boro…until they became someone’s sports washing money laundering project set to skew the very definition of ‘competition’ by being financially doped. Bit like the olympics, boxing and even football when it comes to the players performance enhancing drugs are banned for a reason
Same, gutted they beat us to the league. But it's also only been 'achieved' on the back of financial doping All they are now is a bantz club to wind Treble up with coz they'll likely shart all over Utd and their treble.
The only reason Roman was pushed out was bcos of the Ukraine war otherwise he'd still be here. Nothing will come of any of these 150+ charges against City except a big fine, which will be ironic.
