Ashley taking Staveley to court

You're right, after reading https://manchestercityanalysis.com/analysis/manchester-city-rise-to-the-top-analysis

It took them 2 years to click things, but for us It will be longer due to the transfer fees inflation and generally the competition being tougher than at that time.

 

Dear me, let the panicking begin.

When the New Crew took over many on here agreed we were so bad that we could still go down.

Move on a month or so and one bad result and the New Crew are a laughing stock because we have one bad result and we could go down and are 2 points from safety with 19 games to play and over 3 weeks left in the transfer window with negotiations ongoing (allegedly) for 2 world class central defenders and irons in the fire for 2 central midfielders and 2 attackers.

OMG it must be the end of the world.

What a bunch of snowflakes.

 

The 17m. Possibly. But surely they would just sit down and pay that. I have not read the terms and can’t be bothered either.

But it could be however I’m sure the accounts stated the full £305m had been paid.

 

Yes because that's what the loan did. It paid their share. I assume they haven't paid that back

 

Even Howe was saying things like “these things take time and people on the outside don’t realise it”. That’s the type of **** Bruce would spit out.

They seem to be taking forever go do things. All decisions are taking too long. And we don’t have the luxury of time.

 

I absolutely agree. This square pegs in round holes **** has to stop. It doesn’t work.

 

Sorry GG but things do take time. They take time for every club. How many clubs have got their January targets in yet?

 

Again your quite right. He is picking his mates. And that says to me he’s not got the balls to manage the team properly.

Everyone knows Miggy is better than Fraser. So why is he sticking with him?

 

They should have had a DOF in. That doesn’t take this long it’s been 3 months.

They have had plenty of time with Howe to iron out what positions they needed filling and they could have had players through the door fast.

The Trippier deal was the worst kept secret ever.

The manager fiasco.

They are currently like rich kids with their dicks hanging out of the their pants.

And the one position that probs didn’t need filled was right back. Yes there we are and that’s because of the Howe connection.

Where are the nee scouts?
Where is the other important positions being filled?

 

Because like many on here say Almiron runs around a lot but has no end product. And from Howe’s previous experience with Fraser he believes Fraser does have an end product if kept fit and played in the right position.

 

That's because Almiron is played as a box to box midfielder which he isn't. He was also doing the work of the whole central midfield by himself.

 

The 17m was part of the 305m I believe so I’m unsure.

Either they haven’t paid it or Ashley believed he was getting that back also. I suppose thinking about it it is his money. So he should be paid it back.

 

I thought he loaned them £17m which was part of the £305m. So when the takeover completed the Reuven's and PIF paid off the remaining balance.

PCP, I presume, we're then meant to pay back the loan within a certain time period?!

 

Why is Howe playing him at right sided attacking mid when during Howes entire stint with him at Bournemouth he was played on the left.

 

They have put in several bids for players if we believe the reports - and not the token undervalued bids we had under Ashley. Once they have bid then we are not in control of the timeline. It would be arrogant to assume that just because we have bid then a club must roll over and sell straight away, or that a player should sign straight away without considering his options and negotiating his terms. You and I wouldn't do it so why should they?

 

Agreed.

 

Yes ofc they did. They had a Robinho lined up the second they bought the club. Positions immediately filled within weeks. And they had an immediate improvement in all areas but of course with some bumps on the way.

 

Just more evidence of what we’ve landed with.

Looks to me he’s being played in midfield three. Which is even more ****ing mystifying.

The new owners and Howe by extension have had a dreadful start and I think will lead us to relegation.

 

No they didn't.
