Manchester City

[Liverpool]

They will 'only' have 4 strikers, Ageuro,Dzeko, Bony, Jovetic. Cant see him leaving, the CL thing is nothing they will play 1 upfront against Barca then get knocked out, dont need 4 strikers for that.

This lampard deal smells fishier than a salmon's snatch.

Man City have admitted misleading supporters over Frank Lampard deal

The champions had previously claimed the former Chelsea star would be arriving on
'loan' after signing for New York City FC

City now admit that the former England midfielder was not yet a NYCFC player when signing with the club on a supposed 'loan'

The Premier League have contacted the Etihad club to complain over the suggested length of Lampard's contract, which breaches their rules

According to the Premier League, the contract that had been agreed was for Lampard to play for the whole season and didn't include a break clause

I suspect that they were trying to get NY to subsidise the costs of signing lampard to help them with FFP compliance, realised that that was going to get them in more **** and are now desperately backtracking and changing their story.

UEFA is examining whether the creation of a set of subsidiary companies by City’s ‘parent’ company, City Football Group (CFG), allowed them to under-report losses for 2013-14.

Two subsidiary companies, City Football Marketing Ltd and City Football Services Ltd, had operating expenses — or costs, including wages — of £36.7m in the year to May 2014, and posted combined losses of £25.9m. Most of their business was done effectively on behalf of Manchester City.

won't work they could easily buy out the Rest of The World and become our new Overlords,besides money is being exchanged as we speak

[Trippendicular]

The fact that they have higher revenue than us is laughable. I don't see how it can be legal to be sponsored by a company owned by the very same people tha own the club.

Do you mean they aren't sponsored by a company they also own? Because Etihad is owned by the Abu Dhabi royal family, as is City.

£25 rising to £28Million......

Wilfried Bony will earn a £20,000-a-game bonus on top of his basic £100,000-a-week salary at Manchester City after completing his £25m transfer from Swansea City.

The 26-year-old striker secured the appearance fee after being denied a higher salary by the champions, who will have to pay up to an extra £3m to Swansea in add-ons.
The full amount will be due if Bony features in a certain percentage of matches and the club win every domestic honour plus the European Cup.
