Buying Haaland has taken Man City's net transfer spend to over £1bn in just 10 years. Liverpool's net spend in the same time is £347m. To be within 1 point in the league and knock city out of the FA Cup is an incredible achievement. If City had Klopp in charge they'd be winning the quadruple every year. As it is it's the red army preparing for yet another Champions league final while city's pampered millionaires hit the beach. https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/61576104?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=628e2436fc2fb576dc00c0af&Get Involved - Is Klopp a deserving winner of the LMA award?&2022-05-25T12:42:31.214Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:f471b5f4-cb0b-4438-9e94-9c74cdc5512e&pinned_post_asset_id=628e2436fc2fb576dc00c0af&pinned_post_type=share haha I liked that one | ||

The new owners also will not be permitted to take dividends or management fees or load the team with debt — terms that bankers related to the sale have described as “anti-Glazer clauses,” a reference to the unpopular owners of Manchester United who took control of the club in a leveraged buyout in 2005. Several people close to the process said Boehly’s bid was eventually selected from the group of wealthy suitors because of its willingness to abide by the clauses. (At least one of those people, who worked on the bid backed by Pagliuca, said their group withdrew from the running because of the nature of the conditions.) The Premier League has already signed off on the Chelsea sale, announcing Tuesday that it had vetted and approved the new owners “subject to the government issuing the required sale license and the satisfactory completion of final stages of the transaction.” It is not clear, though, quite what will happen if Boehly and his partners choose to renege on any of the conditions once they have control of the club. Any oversight role will fall on the charity, the only outside entity still inextricably linked to both Chelsea and Abramovich, or the continued influence of two key Abramovich lieutenants who hope to remain in their posts under the new owners. Both of those executives — the club chairman Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskaia, a Russian-born businesswoman who rose from being Abramovich’s personal assistant to the most senior official response for soccer trades at Chelsea — will earn at least $12.5 million for their work on the sale. The commissions to management, totaling as much as $50 million, and the fee to Ravitch, believed to be between 0.5 and 1 percent of the deal’s value, will be paid from the club’s balance sheet and not from the sale funds, according to a person familiar with the structure of the deal.

In principle the 'anti-Glazer' clauses sound good, but won't those make it so that the big clubs are even more likely to be bought by sports-washers of some variety? Investors looking to make money off of football clubs have at least some incentives to keep costs in check, but sovereign wealth funds or similar (City, Newcastle, PSG) can just keep throwing money at their club, further contributing to the madness that the football economy has become. | ||

We have had this discussion before im sure, the English commentary is always bias to people they know. They know Tammy, they know Mourinho and like Mourinho a lot in England.....They don't know Feyernoord or their players because they are not switched on with football outside of England, its simple as that. Also that was Mourinho masterclass if i ever saw one lol, dull boring 1-0 with time wasting to the extreme from the 80th minute....watching them run down the line to corner flag as the 80th minute comes up is insane lol. Mourinho is now the joint most successful manager in European history with 5 major european trophies (they count conference league as major trophy i guess) He has played 5 finals in europe and won all 5! | ||

No one is going to take the us open cup seriously until the USSF raises the standards to at least MLS level standard of officiating. | ||

Don't think anyone saw this coming. Although IIRC his wife is from Manchester and probably wants to raise his family in England. | ||

Its up there with the worst places in the UK. | ||

Going to take some serious coaching to get them back up imo so good luck to Kompany. He might do a Lampard and just take all of Man City's teenagers on loan | ||

Gabriel Jesus is also rumored for Arsenal. I guess he's not going to be in City opening 11 with Haaland there, so he could be reasonable business too. Together with Zinchenko that's a lot of money though, but still seems decent business considering Arteta knows the players beforehand. | ||

In bigger and more important news though, Roman Abramovich has announced he has sold the club and Boehly will be in charge on Monday. | ||
