'Thousands of new fans'..........that might mean 'wools and tourists'....Kopite behaviour that.

I hope the Women's Hospital will be able to cope in nine months time.

Some of their fans are bizarre, they get excited about Man City and Man United buying players like it involves them or in the vain hope it will wind up a few Kopites.

Who the actual fuck walks around like they have a coat hanger stuck in their T shirt?! Would never have believed it if I hadnt seen it!

[DalyanPete]

Hamessssss lad!

It's like they learnt fuckall from the last 3 years.

 

He’ll literally be among the best players in the league when he signs for us.

That will be that Catcherintherye from GOT on the weekend. He probably saw some 10 year old in a Liverpool top and his natural defence mechanisms kicked in.

Here's the thing I don't quite know.. is he actually a celebrity, like a Beckham or something? To me he's a fella who had a great 12.months at Monaco and a WC and has been hovering around shite and mediocre since. Is he someone who'll raise their profile?

Thought they’re already partial to a little Columbian ?

Cali Cartel aren't we????

[Harry Squatter]

It's a waste of time them having any foreign fans/daytrippers because when they wander round town asking for directions to the ground they will do their usual and send them on a bus to the Wirral.

He is usually the Michelin Man but forgot he never had his suit on.

I'm really struggling to understand how a club with 80% + of (a really low) turnover going straight to wages , £550Mill in debt and building a stadium with shag all money is able to shell out £90 mill on 3 signings, all of whom will be on significant wages ...where in the name of Fowler are they getting the money ? Are they just taking out more loans ?

Rodriguez is actually pretty good.

You reckon? I’d say he’s done very little since the 2014 World Cup. Neither Real Madrid or Bayern Munich seem to think much of him.

Well, they still have 20% or less turnover to gamble with. However, if their turnover goes up by finishing higher up the league, win a cup or qualify for Europe next season, it is a gamble that's paid off.

 

They wont be subject to UEFA's FFP for 3 years if the do manage to qualify. The PL has less stringent financial fair play rules and as we know, football authorities are easing these due to the current situation.

 

If the gamble doesnt pay off, they have richarlison as the headline transfer out and the stadium will be publically canned.

 

Usmanov or anyone else could buy into the club but equally they'd end up with usmanov or a.n.other taking up some inflated 'sponsorship' deal. After all, city have got away with that.

Let's at least try keep things within the bounds of believability and credibility.

Their turnover last season was £188m with 85% of that going on wages £160m

 

Leaves next to fuck all.

 

Ours was £533m with £310m (58%) going on wages.

And wages aren't the only cost...they've made losses consistently if you take into conisderation all costs. they will make another huge loss - they can do this because 1. they don't care about FFP for another 3 years atleast and 2. moshiri is willing to spend his own cash to make up the difference in cashflow.

They are heavily reliant on the TV money from league as well....it makes up 71% of what they do. 133m/188m

 

A drop in that is bad news.

Keep seeing this figure of £310m  on our wages but that's got to be wrong. Most of the 1st team are probably on less than £80k
