Wouldn't it be great to see him playing in the prem every week. It would also generate extra ticket sales at the smaller clubs away grounds. People who may not even support the club and who would never get the chance to see Messi play would snaffle up any extra tickets. It's all a pipe dream anyway and won't happen.

wilai Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Apart from PSG, you and Man U are the only ones who can afford him. Neymar is now running PSG so that rules them out. If he does decide to leave Barca, then I think you would go for him. As for smaller clubs, those in Premiership are averaging close to capacity anyway (and City's existing team sell out anyway) so no real benefit there. At least the midweek game away to Stoke would be on the telly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 England's own Messi (aka Jadon Sancho) should be on Eurosport 2 and the Arabian channels at 18:30 tonight. Can see City putting a bid in for him soon.........or maybe not Seriously, The <17's looked very good the other night and are worth watching. Much brighter than the senior team and I think they have a reasonable chance of winning the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry MrB i've been convinced you have no advantage because it is what it is! Anyway i'd love to see him in our league at whatever cost and of course it wouldn't offer you any advantage!

We are all advantaged in varying degrees Carms. It's all a matter of where you are looking at life from on the ladder. It's just we are lucky to have moved up the class system in recent years.

And you clearly agree with me regards current times because me, you don't agree with the blatantly obvious! And i do accept it, just don't like the deniers that just won't acknowledge the patently obvious. Whats really important to me and if some genius on the forum can explain, is how, exactly is FFF supposed the be being implemented well and working?

It clearly doesn't work an is intended to keep the rich clubs rich and the poor clubs poor, as the door is now fully closed shut for any other investors to come in and pump huge sums of money into a club for a long term return on investment. The top table is now clearly defined. I don't profess to be a genius but the only advantage I can see in FFP is that the debt can no longer be put against the club (like Abramovich used to). An owner can gift a set amount of money to a club each year but he can't put it down as a loan. Therefore, the club is somewhat protected from bankruptsy should owners who bankroll clubs then decide to walk away. I.E. for all the money that our owners have invested, as a club we are now in profit and in a very healthy financial position should they decide to walk away (which I don't think they will). We are also worth at least 5 times more now than when they took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
