Puts me in mind of what Keith Burkinshaw said when he left Spurs: "There used to be a football club over there."

[SIZE="4"]Manchester City have spent £200m on transfers, £100m a year on wages and the club's chairman says football in this country is on the road to ruin


By LEO SPALL Last updated at 10:17 PM on 13th March 2010


Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak claims football in Britain - and across Europe - is on the road to ruin.
In an extraordinary attack on the way the game is run, he has insisted that the economic model being used here is unsustainable.


Al Mubarak may be in charge of one of the biggest-spending clubs in the world, but he claims radical business reforms are the only way to increase competition and avoid meltdown.
Worryingly for his lavishly-paid City players, Al Mubarak hinted that he could favour the introduction of a salary cap, such as the one used by sports in the United States. 'I am a fan of the American model,' Al Mubarak told a media summit in Abu Dhabi.
'The European model cannot be sustained without new parameters, commercial parameters that allow competition, that allow revenue distribution, and that will allow talent to continue to prosper.'
Many inside the game will find Al Mubarak's comments more than a little rich. He appears to want spending reined in by new rules and television income distribution altered to loosen the grip of the traditional big clubs. Yet Al Mubarak oversees the running of City for a member of the Abu Dhabi Royal family, who have paid more than £200million on transfers fees since taking over in September 2008.
Wages at Sheik Mansour bin Zayed Al-Nahyan's club have also rocketed to more than £100m a year, with some players on £160,000 a week. That magnitude of outlay led to City paying nearly £13m on agents' fees in just two transfer windows.

City are also at the heart of a £1bn plan to create a world-class sports and leisure complex and elevate the club into the global elite.
The massive scheme, based on 200 acres of land around City's Eastlands stadium, would include shops, hotels and restaurants as well as a club training base to rival AC Milan's. An extension to the stadium's north stand would boost capacity to 60,000. The scheme would be funded by private investment and Sheik Mansour.
Al Mubarak has previously defended City's spending approach, claiming the club are simply playing catch-up with teams like Manchester United and Chelsea. But as one figure within the English game described his comments as 'hypocritical', they drew knowing noises at UEFA.
The European game's governing body are preparing to bring in new rules of 'financial fair play' in the next five years to force clubs towards breaking even by restricting debt and losses. They will apply to the Champions League and Europa League and are aimed at clubs such as City and Chelsea, who until recently were massively indebted to their owners' loans.
But UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino claims Mansour and Roman Abramovich are pleased that action is being taken.
'What they are saying to us is they would be happy if they don't spend their personal fortune on this,' said Infantino.
'Our president [Michel Platini] has spoken to the owner of Manchester City, who is fully in agreement with these rules. We feel that if you create a healthy environment this will attract good spenders in football, not the ones who will just force up inflation.'
City have previously come in for criticism from UEFA. The amounts they were throwing around to strengthen their squad caused disquiet and led to suggestions that they were acting in a way which could destabilise the market. But City, like Chelsea, have recently had their owner's loans converted to shares to help them comply with UEFA's looming new regulations.
As for the introduction of a salary cap, Platini's special adviser, William Gaillard, said: 'We have never talked about them. But we have a situation which is difficult financially everywhere, not only in football, and I think he [Al Mubarak] is saying what a lot of people are thinking.'
The Premier League argue that they already distribute income more equitably than their European counterparts. As Portsmouth's financial collapse has unfolded in the wake of attempts to compete with the big-spending sides, the league have also brought in new rules designed to prevent a repeat of the sorry saga at Fratton Park. A new, more restrained financial era appears to be beckoning.

That is spot on.

- increasingly hilarious self-delusion
- seriously insisting that all United's success is down to luck + corruption
- claiming the moral high ground (we've got no money...)
- claiming all their players are better than United's despite evidence to the contrary
- starting every season trumpeting what they're going to win and ending up fighting over scraps

city = liverpool

"Absolutely. Both Paisley and Cloughie would have run rings around that despicable old bastard.
Also, don't forget that when both Paisley and Clough were successful you could only have 3 foreign players in your team. 8 of the side had to be English."

football expert.

that thread

i mean, £#%&!ing really. it's like watching a bunch of appalachian degenerates in a horror film getting all riled up. it starts out quite reasonable but then as soon as somebody starts they're all foaming at the mouth and coming out with sillier and sillier stuff.

Great manager ? I can and do argue with that !

[SIZE="5"]The guy has spent top dollar since he joined United and has been instrumental in inflating transfer fees to the level we see today. He has always been able to outbid everyone else (until now) and his tenure has coincided with the emergence of the money spinning European league. In effect, unlike the great Liverpool managers and Cloughie he has achieved his success at a time when there has been at best two teams and at worst only one other team competing. It has been the equivalent of winning the Scottish League.

What's more, the fact that he has won so few European Cups during that time is shocking. At least that has now been reduced to a two team league too so he should puick up a few more now
Hahahahahahahaha!

Oh the £#%&!ing Irony. THE £#%&!ING IRONY.

Does the word hypocrisy not compute over there? That is priceless.

What next? John Terry blaming tiger woods for women not trusting men?
