    There's more than a hint of the current government about the whole thing certainly!

    I hope that this more of an incompetence issue than an insolvency issue.

    Turks have it in their nature to wheel and deal. It may have been something along the lines…

    You want £5m for Lewie Barrie so we’ll agree that but can we also agree to remove the loan fee outstanding from that due to the fact he only was available for 4 games.

    That’s not an excuse but it’s more incompetence and naivety rather than deliberately lying about the state of his finances to fans.

    In the previous season before promotion thy didnt pay wages on 4 or 5 occasions and are in a similar spot with payments. Once a precedent has been set, you would hope City's lawyers would cite the same and take the points.

    Who runs the non football side of things these days? Is it Joe Clutterbrook? Would this be his responsibility or is it actually Acuns?

    Not sure it's that specific a skill.. Just your standard accounts payable department. You'd basically have a bunch of recurring transfers set up and you'd just need to ensure there's sufficient funds.

    I don't think that particular situation was incompetence or naivety, if it was me, I'd have a go at getting that loan fee deducted from the permanent fee as well.

    The problem is that the EFL don’t differentiate between incompetence and malice, we get punished either way.

    I want to believe this was done because he got over excited and went mental. But I don’t see a situation where somebody worth hundreds of millions of pounds doesn’t know how ****ing structured payments work.

    A lot of them seem to think they can buy a Championship club throw a bit of money
    at a few players and get promoted to the Premier League as they
    are 'Successful Businessmen' and it can't be that hard can it ?

    He’s not, is he? He’s barely worth £75 million last time I checked.

    not like we've spunked a load of cash away to end up in a better position either. Squad is bloated, crap and not worth what was paid for it, training ground still ****, academy not changed. We've not flown too close to the sun and got burned, but come away with some positives, its just dire.
