Marc Guehi’s signing will likely take Manchester City’s spending to ~£500m in the last 12 months. All while we STILL await the verdict of their 115 potential financial breaches. Ah yes. Seems completely normal.

It’s looking more likely by the day the maximum punishment will be a transfer embargo and they know it. 10 years ought to go somewhere near levelling the playing field.
I don’t think they will get anything above a slap on the wrist rip but more likely it will be the PL drops the charges and UAE claim to be exonerated.

He’s also going to be on £300k a week.

With all we've sold, such a low bet spend and such a small squad, we must have some room soon to actually buy a couple of decent players!

Ranking-based rewards can get properly fucked.

We will benefit from it this season whilst playing Europa.

Also, our increased TV appearances (all but two of our games in all competitions have been broadcast live, making us the most popular pick for the TV companies) are largely due to us playing on Thursdays instead of Tuesday/Wednesday in CL. Many prefer Saturday 3pm kick-offs but they’re not as lucrative.

We were on about the difference between CL and Europa League money a few pages back. All these extra TV games definitely help bridge that gap.

Good point Percy. This could arguably turn out to be the clubs most profitable year in its history, if we win a top four place and a trophy.
