OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[Armada]

Armada is looking for anything right now from City Twitter Blue fans.

This is going to be fun.

That same account was cited by someone in here yesterday not me when acknowledging how serious the allegations where but now I can’t Mention the other stuff that account posted? The dude is a legal and finance expert

 

[rolaholic]

Surprised that this is the best move he could find

 

[Beans]

No I don’t actually. I don’t care which club does it.. it’s shady and absolutely a way to funnel an owners money into a club to further on field success.

That’s fair I’m with that lemme know when the league throw some allegations at them too.

But he’s a City fan.

Come on man

I'm rooting for this bid, would be poetic seeing games in Uruguay for the 100th anniversary of the competition after the inaugural edition was there.

IMF, hedge funds, and whoever else Argentina owes money to looking at this bid like

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Don't think they need more back up wingers

 

[Coupé It]

For all we know Chelsea is next.

Come on man

Again I wasn’t the first time site him and he is but he also acknowledges that we should be relegated if this stuff is proven true. That dude is usually fair and pessimistic rightly so about stuff like this and just calls it down the line and doesn’t make excuses for the club he’s even called out how some of the Pr statements they’ve leaked to journalist are BS he just gets to the core of how this stuff shakes out legally and what the possibilities are

Yea Fab was talking up the clubs relationship with his agent earlier and so are Sport apparently



Is he on the outside with Xavi already though?

I wouldn't understand the club spending big on a winger again, probably the deepest positon I'm the squad rn, but he's a great talent.

Would be real surprised to see Barca let him go too.

United have a much bigger need up top though especially for that sum. Need a no.9 before anything else, then a ball progressing CM to complement Casemiro.

from sport
end of story. literally become the least reliable source for barca news.
notice fabrizio said nothing on ansu's end or barca's.

Good to see Carlo calling it out, so many of these Spanish clubs, officials and players have been blaming Vinicius himself for the treatment he received instead of the culture in Spanish football.

For all we know Chelsea is next.

If they wanted to take Chelsea down they had the perfect opportunity when Abramovich was forced to sell.

Nothing happened. Which means either Chelsea is clean or they pay off the right people. City clearly didn’t.

City messed up when they were claiming to have the largest revenue but couldn't sellout CL matches

 

[rolaholic]

Don't think this should be a hard or close vote

The Iberian x Ukraine bid is kinda wild , absolutely nothing in common outside of politics. The other joint bids are understandable given geographical or cultural ties.

Can't fill out their stadium yet they claimed more commercial revenue than the likes of Madrid, Barca, Bayern, PSG, Arsenal, Liverpool and United

 

[HNL HI]

no ill will but would like to experience seeing a big 6 club get relegated.

Lack of infrastructure will hurt the South American bid. The Iberian bid will be strong, and the distance from there to Ukraine won’t be that much worse than the distance between some of the South American cities.

I hear this often but how is it possible for them to not sell out games? Are ticket prices high or are there really not that many City fans?

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Price of the brick going up

For all we know Chelsea is next.

To be honest, Chelsea have been monitored for years since day one

Chelsea got transfer ban because of the non-registered minors that played in games without permission and third-party influence like paying money to family members/agents. The third party influence was actually legal until 2017 or 2018 I don't remember what year. After that, they stopped doing it

It has nothing with the FFP situation. Because of that, the club has plenty of assets that they can flip into revenue if they need to

For the 2022-2023 transfers moves, thanks to the debt waived by Roman plus installment payments & long contracts they can avoid FFP violation. It was really mindblown that Benfica accepted installment payments for Enzo at the last minute

Mariano's about to be forced out of the doghouse? Verde Shuttles flyeed haicheo El Argentino

Over 1 billion of the Chelsea sale was for transfer. Roman made sure Chelsea would have no debt owed and made sure owners had to spend if they wanted to buy the club. Chelsea also makes a good amount on youth sale
