rogerbarton 24 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but if we do get a Champions League spot, has anyone thought that we could be targets of a bid from abroad? We have all the foundations in place and would already be in the CL, seems like the perfect scenario for some multibillionaires. What would people think about such a scenario? I'm happy the way things are, with a manager we can respect and a starting XI that I really like, bringing in better players than we've seen for many a year for a fraction of the price.

Andrew 4292 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 that multibillionaire would also surely see the value in the system that got us there. unless its money theyve inherited they're unlikely to be such a dunce that they throw it all out to spend megabucks, it'd just be like pumping Carr full of performance enhancing drugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4292 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 on those, did city get pulled up at all (or are they expected to be) for circumventing that with a ridiculous sponsorship deal with a company owned by their owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fear is that a lot of the megabucks clubs like Paris Saint Germain, Man City etc. are going to get away with the sponsorship deal circumvention. I'm almost certain Citeh weren't pulled up on it, which is ridiculous. Quite an easy rule to write in to the regulations, that no company affiliated in any way with the owners can plough in extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CabayeAye Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 That stadium naming rights thing is just ridiculous. There are a thousand other ways to do it though, like selling stock to themselves etc. The only way to make it work is to bring in a wage cap and abolish transfer fees.

The Fish 9281 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Aquirring players is the aim - not spending money, our recruitment policy has been a massive success! The current financial policy is fine for where we are at; but to get to the next level, we need to spend money. We were meant to be seemingly thankful that Ashley was prepared to spend £9m on Cisse. Cisse is a quality buy and worth probably more but we should be spending money like that regularly. You spend money, you get quality, obviously it may not happen if you spend it on shit but no one is saying that. As I say, if he starts spending money, all fine and good. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy. However, I can't see why it suddenly changes the fact that we were regularly qualifying for such competitions under Freddy Shepherd. We've bought French league winners, leading goalscorers, supreme attacking talent and exciting Italian prospects with our policy. WHAT could you possibly want to see? Millions spunked up the wall Liverpool style? Cabaye, Tiote, Santon, Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa. Howay then, what one isn't quality? Santon will be in a season or two, it's plain to see. Genuinely, if those players had cost £100m Leazes et al, would be placated. We could have spent £8m on Cabaye, the same on Tiote, and Santon. £10m on Ba and £20m on Cisse and Ben Arfa. There you go, £74m and I don't think I'm over-pricing anyone too much. Would that make sense? It's mental, it'd be like turning down the opportunity to buy a Ferrari because the guy is giving too good a deal. How anyone can resist getting swept up in the good feelings around this club right now is a mystery to me. We've got a great bunch of (on the whole) young lads who are playing with grit and producing some truly magical moments, we're beating the champions, we're taking 4 points off the dirty orcs down the road, we're exciting up front and resolute at the back. Oh and we're in Europe. EUROPE for fucks sake. Who would have predicted that would be anywhere on our radar when Joe Fucking Kinnear took over? Fucking Hell man, just watch this again and get excited about next season! :nufc: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Good point about the age of the lads. Think the average age is about 25.5/26? Colo is the only starter in his 30s, and after him it's only really Shola who is out of his 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
