Cunts......

Chelsea had this sort of shyte 6-7 years before us .... and still do

Nowhere near the intensity and longevity of the onslaught on us. You also need to remember the institutional attacks - FFP was designed to cripple us and succeeded.

I don't know, it was pretty fierce for them ... on here they got absolutely slaughtered (myself including) whinging about how unfair it all was. Was quite ironic when the next set of lottery balls were ours!

FFP was bought in because of several 'new' teams spending loads in order to catch up .... tis all bollox thou, you can only play with 11 players the same rule as Barcelona or Stockport County

Add Chris Sutton to the media bellend list , what an utter plank !!! Spouted some shite on MOTD2 last night and couldn't back it up when pushed , what a fucking bellend !!!

This could become a new technical term ; "doing a Mané".

Mane looks like Bruce Lee in that photo. I thought the Mane one was an obvious red, but I thought the Ritchie one yesterday was an obvious yellow. Difficult to explain it to a plank like Sutton though.

It's all about which 11 players friend, and UEFA ensured we and PSG weren't able to compete for the best with the cartel clubs at a crucial time.
Be in no doubt that FFP was specially constructed just for us and PSG btw - ask Mr Gill if you don't believe me

Man City have most expensive squad in football, says CIES Football Observatory

Manchester City have the most expensive squad in football, according to research group CIES Football Observatory.

City spent £215m in the summer transfer market to take the total outlay on their squad to 853m euros (£775m).

That is £3m more than the amount spent by Paris St-Germain, who signed Neymar in the summer for a world record £200m.

Manchester United, who have spent 784m euros (£712m) on their current squad, are third.

They were top of the table last year, but the value of their squad has only increased by £66m this summer.

The CIES data covers Europe's big five leagues - the top divisions in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Premier League teams fill six of the top 10 positions, and have the highest average squad worth of 287m euros (£261m).

So despite spending, what was it, around £140m net, the rags squad value only increased by £66m?Are CIES telling us that the rags have been had?

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Big error in that report, it should read:

Manchester United, who have wasted 784m euros (£712m) on their current squad, are third.

Very difficult to accurately compare costs over time (inflation adjustment) and border (currency conversion adjustment). Without detailing those qualifications this is just a useless exercise by someone who would otherwise be wanking himself silly in his bedroom.

Perhaps they've got the spelling wrong and it should be 'LIES Football Observatory' instead.

[zuricity]

it is quite possible that Man City have the most expensive squad this year , so what ?

it would be useful if the Beeb or FIFA /UEFA could get off their fat backsides and show such useful/less information for the last twenty five years .

One year'sp values are worthless without some context to the statistics.

Another "Sky pundit" Tony Gale what an absolute cunt . His comments this morning live on SSN telling Ederson to man up gone viral on twitter . Low and behold the dippers appeal the red card a few hours later . Sky manipulating a situation yet again !!!

Not sure I agree chinners I've felt we've always had bias (certainly around decisions and Vs the "old guard") most of which will be down the generation and rag supporting nature of officials and writers

If he ever rocked up at our place, get one of the academy lads to drop kick him. See what sort of man he is then.

What was worse though was the presenter laughing. A player was assaulted on the field of play and they are taking the piss on camera

It wasn't Wedderburn was it?! Wonder if Gale would have given it the big un if Big Mike was there.
