There isn’t that either. That was the one good thing out of failing ffp, uefa scrutinised every single sponsorship and our books for three years.
Not saying you broke any rules
But if you didn’t have the UAE royal family as your owners Etihad weren’t giving you that kind of money for “sponsorship”
My point was if Roman chuffs off then so will all the money he put into Chelsea directly or indirectly
Same would happen with you guys or PSG
There is no “man city” brand that would be worth the money these brands would ever pay you that kind of money again for
Having money doesn't always make you great. We're testament to that. They'll do very well to find another Kompany, Aguero n Silva for sure.

We did ok staying great with money for a quarter of a century under Fergie.
They said we wouldn't replace players like Shmikes Pally Bruce Cole and Hughes, but players like Rio, Vidic, RVN VDS etc are always just around the corner.

Yes there is though, Nexen pay us as much as Etihad do nowadays. Bear in mind that sponsorship was deemed undervalued not overvalued now.
Mansour should 13% of us to Chinese investors. If he were to sell the rest, then he’s make a considerable profit.
We’ve been in the CL for seven straight years now and won the title three times, that’s huge exposure for any brand. Chevrolet didn’t give you guys stupendous amounts of money just so that only United fans would buy their cars you know...
I'm not even sure you can call us a well run club when we engage in transfers where we either have no re-sell value and are very short-term in nature.
A need for a director of football is imperative.
Also, how are we not doing what we did for Sanchez here? Jorginho would have been a brilliant replacement for Carrick.

But United’s revenue and brand has been up near the top for about 20 years. Hardly the same growth City have shown.
They’ve been ahead of us for six of the last seven seasons. It’s not just a case of them currently having a better manager than us. They just know what they’re doing on the football side of the game. And that to me, as well as their exponential growth off the field and their academy infrastructure, shows to me they’re a better run club than us.
But if you want to bury your head in the sand that’s you’re prerogative.

Unfortunately I’d have to agree with this. In football terms we have definitely lacked direction since saf retired.
Commercially we're the best ran club on the planet.
In the transfer market we're not close. We seem to have no negotiating power at all and always seemed to get ripped off for players yet Abu Dhabi Blues seem to get better deals than us for players and everyone knows their owner is minted beyond belief.
And then there's Chelsea who seem to get tremendous value for player sales all the time and we struggle to give players away for £5-10m.
Woodward has played his part in us being a huge commercial success but I think he's been an absolute disaster on the football side of things. He should stick to what he knows.

Things do seem a little lethargic at the moment on the transfers front at Man U.
Apart from Ronaldo's mum wanting to come and play for you has there been any other progress.?

Slur Alex was always quick out of the blocks in the transfer windows. You got to admit it’s not been the same since..

FYI...
Fergie bought and sold many players mid season and in the Jan windows and also very late in the the summer windows. He rarely did summer business early. Usually during the summer tour periods after the international tournaments.
And.....
Yes, he's a 'Slur'.
