Yet we were asking a skint city council to procure us a loan.

And thus, the mask slips.

For at least the last three or four years, the accounts have been published pretty much some time in the last few weeks of December. They're expected to be published by the end of this year ( though I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them published tomorrow ), so they're not delayed at all.

Maybe the question you should be asking yourself is why you're talking utter wham on the internet ?

It really depresses me how easily our fans our lead.

Our accounts are delayed.

From companies house. We applied to move our accounting reference date back a month.

Even if we fall foul of any rules, if we can pay the fine or have a good enough team to absorb say a 6 point deduction, then we will be back on the straight and narrow the season afterwards.

FFP is based on a three year rolling period.

And thus, the mask slips.

No the mask slipped when our billionaires failed to fund a Stadium.

City's owners bought the Stadium out the Stadium. Extended it and then spent built a complex that included a casino and a Stadium for the youth team with a 21,000 capacity. We are being conned.

And if Esk is to be believed, I know he gets a bad press, but the money side ive always considered him to be on the nail, but he suggests that we are very close to the limits as is.

I myself and I am defo not somebody whos word means much, but looking closely at our current financial position, we would need some major cash injection in the form of vastly increased commercial deals to have any chance of wild spurges.

Our problems are we have LOTS of players on high wages who are either not good enough nor not good enough to sell, plus very poor commercial deals compared to teams we aspire to compete with.

Now Ancelotti will gives us a little bump, Zlatan, if it happens, also, but despite their global appeal, they wont be making a dent.

I mean this isnt me being doom and gloom, if we have promised Carlo dough to spend, will be give him it, just very interested to see how we do it.

Mate, you've just recanted the line about the club pushing the city for a loan when – as it's been repeated a million times – that isn't the case.

Very strange. What was your previous username?

 

[Coggy]

Stop trying to be the most negative and boring poster

Lol. There are a few contenders for that role mate.
We all know who they are.

City do not own The Etihad, they pay rent of 2m a year.

The Council also paid a lot towards the refit to a football stadium.

Previous username was knobhead.

I'm 99.9% sure of it.

You are talking semantics.

The original agreement was for City to share the cost of the Stadium but for City to pay a premium on any capacities above Maine Road. That changed in 2010 when City promised a £1bn investment and a larger capacity in exchange for £2m in rent. Since them they have expanded the Etihad but still only pay £50k a week.

If the Mayor was falsely claiming that the Club was asking for a loan then I look forward to the club putting the Mayor straight.

What is your current username hoodwinked.

How has it been professional. We are owned by a billionaire who is supposedly the front man for one of the richest men on the planet. Yet we were asking a skint city council to procure us a loan.

Shouldn't needto be a repeated question but on what planet does a billionaire use his own money to fund a £4-500m stadium? Pretty sure Levy didn't solely fund the building of Tottenham Stadium, the previous ownership at Arsenal didn't self fund the building of the Emirates either

Mistakes have been made but now moshiri has finally got what he wanted all along brands as dof who was first choice and now a top manager who can set the team up. It will take time but things are finally looking better

Pfft, semantics. You're wholly wrong and trying to play it off as a word game.
