The things Shota and Acun were saying about Greaves’ contract situation didn’t inspire confidence. A lot of ‘we hope he signs’ and ‘we’re trying to get him to sign’. Really disappointed that he’s not signing a new contract and I now think he’ll go this window. Acun mentioning FFP left the door open for us selling another of our star players for big money to balance the books in terms of headroom.

A lot of people on here have said Greaves is replaceable but I think we’ll struggle to find someone just as good this window who will settle quickly and hit the ground running.
Well hope he stays but if he goes then let’s hope he gets replaced by someone who can score goals with his head from a corner or similar situations like Michael Turner did on a good number of situations.

According to Baz's article, it's that we agreed a business plan with the EFL prior to takeover that said we could only spend so much.

So it's nothing to do with FFP

Baz's quote:

"The other side of the coin is that City are moving closer towards the permitted losses under financial fair play. When Ilicali bought the club in January, a business plan had to be agreed and approved by the EFL"


We did have to submit a businessplan which complies with FFP, but they can't just impose restrictions on a whim. It clearly states FFP as a reason.

Great memories in that place along with plenty of nights I have no memory of at all
Same.
Stayed in the hotel attached a couple of times and never woke up in the room I checked into.
There was a 70's and 80's disco in the main room one bank holiday weekend.
Junihno, Ravenelli and Emerson were in there.
Emerson had more soul glow on his hair than seemed possible.
Good Times.
 
If Greaves goes to Boro it would be more insulting than someone going from Leeds to Galatasaray.

Someone who allegedly bleeds black and amber would never entertain such nonsense.

He’s not going to Boro. Mark my words.

Bleeds black and amber? Not like Sir Alex, who one reporter wrote, was so Man Utd through and through that if you cut him he would bleed red.
