I have a feeling this is going to be a long hard slog of a transfer window. I read he is off to Italy. Not Juve, so a club with no more financial clout than anyone in the EPL, never mind the top 6.

Popular Post mrbojangles Posted June 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2018 14 hours ago, champers said: Spurs new stadium is the go to site in London for Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) workers. Normal day rates are £160; the Spurs job is paying £400 per day in an all-out attempt to meet their deadline. One knock on effect is that Crossrail works are amongst others now behind their schedules as workers flock to the Spurs job. The irony of it. Spurs whinge about City's spending being unfair then they go and blast the normal day rate into orbit just to satisfy their own needs and stuff everyone else. Bet they don't even need half of the workers, they only want them just so nobody else can have em ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just waiting for you to throw that one in but at the end of the day we simply don'r have that sugar daddy that finds a way of just throwing in funding as and when. Probably why City fans have grown a chip on their shoulder due to others fans perception of their hollow victories and silverware. The chip on BB's shoulder would put the Hunchback of Notre Dames to shame!! Hence the obsession with clubs that attempt to stick to spending what they earn. btw, why do you refer to Spurs fans whinging when you know all to well the entire football public feels the same way, they all bark on about it. But then again, you know that too? If its said we laugh out loud seeing City fans celebrating beating a team whose squad wages are less than you pay a ball boy then yes its true but its not just us, its everyone!!!

Not everyone is on as much as you Ronnie. £800 per week would put them on about £38k per year which is just above the London average salary.

Actually, if you're going to be pedantic it's £41,600 pa. However, seeing as they are on day rate, (maybe not getting paid for days off etc) to be on the conservative side, I based mine on a 4 week month multiplied by 12 which is why I put "about". Either way, it's either above or way above the London average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nice when someone throws a rock at you is it and you have gone into full defensive mode. You have even totally ignored the point and gone around it by feeling you are justified stealing all of the workers because you've generated (actually borrowed) the money. Don't get me wrong, I understand why you've done it as you have a deadline to meet but like it or not, you have screwed everyone else who also have deadlines. Dog eat dog, that's life but you need to get off your high horse. BTW. The reason I refer to Spurs whinging is cos it's all I ever hear from you lot on here. My colleagues at work (of all clubs) recognise it is what it is and most of them wish they had been as lucky as we have and yes, we know we have been extremely lucky. Getting backing to catch up and overtake those clubs who have always had more money than us. And also BTW. You really do need to get with the times mate. This chip on your shoulder is no good for your health. We do live within our earnings nowadays, you are believing a myth. Have you really forgot the business plan which has been posted on here many times. Our owners HAD to invest heavily early due to FFP coming in. It was either then or never but the business model was ALWAYS to be self sufficient and we are now 2nd highest earners in the prem. Have a read here from the Telegraph a few days ago on the state of clubs following the accounts from the 2016/17. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jun/06/premier-league-finances-club-guide-2016-17 This isn't a City biased statement, it is a summary of the state of all clubs. For City, it states Quote State they’re in Position as planned for by Sheikh Mansour’s executives – improbable as it seemed – after he bought City in 2008 and began to pour in £1.2bn. From a record £197m loss six years earlier because of signing superstars including David Silva and Yaya Touré the club could not afford, the success they and other multimillion-pound signings brought have garnered huge Premier League and Uefa income, so that City are now profitable. City note in the accounts a further £161m net spent on players for Pep Guardiola last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
