How do you already get it for nothing LB?

"I'm sorry to say this, as a life long fan and - for the last few (for me at least) unforgettable months - employee, MCFC as we know it is finished. Here are the FACTS, for those who really want to know. Thaksin is, as of midlnight 10th August, 2008, an international fugitive. He now has to be found guilty of corruption in Thailand in his absense, offering no defence. Extradition requests will surely follow. The PL will then have to find him short of the fit and proper ownership rules (and believe me, the pressure for that from fellow 'members' has been growing since June). Thaksin is trying to palm off City onto whoever will now take it, an insolvent mess of a business, completely incapable of sustaining itself. The truth is that the only interested party (until recently) - Wardle - is not now able to bail City out now , he cant come close on his own and no partners have been found. The wage bioll and committments due on the last 2 years' transfers have spiralled out of control. The Corluka affair is the last straw - I personally worked on the deal and can assure anyone interested that he has already been transferred to Spurs. Spurs have this evening started legal action, and he will be barred from playing for City following an injunction in the courts tomorrow. Personally I expect Hughes to then resign on principal (he has no choice now, he is on record as saying that he wilol have final say on all transfers). Many wont believe any of this, but a few will. I am very close to this situation (readers will never know who I am or how close - a few would know my name but it isnt appropriate to for me to come 'out') - trust me, I am close enough to know what has happeneded in the last fortnight, I am pissed off with it (as a fan, and as someone who has worked hard for the club durinig the ast 18 months or so) and it must be said, a little drunk. I am posting this message on a few sites - apologies for those that keep reading it, but I want City fans to know what is happening. The sad truth is we are finished, and that as a result, the PL will be facing its biggest challenge since inception within 2 weeks of now." This was posted on a few Man City forums apparently... Concerning for their fans anyway. Their owner always seemed like a crafty character.

Saw your pics on facebook CJ, looks like an awesome day out. Would have gone myself, but cant afford it what with not having a job at the moment.

Doubt he will be going anywhere.

Wouldn't be that much of a great loss IMO

I'll be very very surprised if we get Kaka.

Hilarious

This has to be one of the most pathetic statements I have ever read on a forum.

So you think Sinclair, Di Santo, Sahar, Tejera, Stoch, Woods & Kakuta are all too old then

The season has finally started.

Totally agree, 25 million is nothing for a player of his calibre

What did you expect, no point in talking to Loserpoo players if the conversation is about the League.

Are you now :unsure:

Thats cause your gay

Time for Drogba to STFU and start talking with goals.

Im getting sick to the back teeth of Fergie slagging us off in the press, let him say what he wants, we will let the football do the talking.

Be interesting to see how this pans out. If we do get him doubt we will get him as cheap as £20m.

Congratulations Kez

I'm passing the time by relentlessly searching for a new job. However, due to the amount of Eastern Europeans over here at the moment, its like looking for a needle in a haystack, unless of course I want a job that pays the astonishingly high rate of £5.56 p/h

My event would have to be Swimming, although I have not been near a pool for about 3 years. Track & Field events just bore the tits off me.

I'd start with Ferreira at RB, maybe give Ivanovic a run out when the game is done and dusted. Pompey will, without a doubt, be a lot tougher than any of our pre-season matches, but I fully expect to come away with 3 points. Deco, Lampard and Essien would be my choice for a 3 man midfield, plus J. Cole Malouda/SWP & Anelka up front. Really cant wait for the season to start, got a really good feeling about this year.
