Man City have taken a steaming dump all over FFP in recent years but have managed to bend the rules/bribe/find ways around it... Wasn't Purslow part of the committee/group that set up FFP in the first place? Yes they have, but they can hide behind CL revenue, “sponsorship” deals and whatever else at the moment. The way they did it back in 2010 or whenever it was, it sort of happened over night, the buying up of whoever they wanted, Agueros, Tevezs, Adebayors, Nasris, Yaya Toures, David Silvas, they did by paying them whatever wages they wanted and dishing out whatever transfer fees it took to attain those players without batting an eyelid. The Drawbridge has very much come up now yes, because you think if we did the same now we wouldnt get fined, docked points, the lot? We cannot get away with what they did because the rules changed.

Morkery Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I think he'd have signed a new deal if he was staying. I realise he signed one last year, but a new one would've put an end to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I have a feeling he’ll be off. Tbh, if he doesn’t sign a new contract this week, I think he’ll be gone. Will be gutted if he goes, devastated even. One thing it will do though, is make for a very interesting summer. Our 100m (speculation) budget will increase to 180m. I can’t even contemplate Grealish leaving but if he does, we could literally improve nearly every position (obviously minus Grealish). Thinking out loud about what we could buy with that money (total and utter nonsensical speculation): Henry - 12m Cash - 12m Rashica - 22m Edouard - 30m Swift - 6m Sarr - 30m Benrahma - 28m Watkins - 25m Hughes - 10m Martinez - 10m Edited August 29, 2020 by Delphinho123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh definitely, there’s no doubt about that. I’m not excusing Delphi’s behaviour but we were certainly a right mess back then and about to get worse Right now I don’t think we’ve ever been in better shape ownership wise. Which in turn gives me confidence that we’re doing everything possible to keep hold of Jack. We don’t know what has been said behind closed doors or what might be in the pipeline regarding his contract. I agree though it would be a big public notice of intent if he signed a new contract. Fingers crossed he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
