Maths not your speciality Fridge. WTF did you get 9 and a half years = 115? I may be old. But I think it should be 114.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
0.5 months = 6 months. It is right to say 115.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Contracts are measured in full years, half years are added if you sign someone in mid season.
Trying to make out City deliberately gave him a 115 month contract is either laughable or paranoid
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Especially when it’s 114.
I'm happy with City marching on. We'll never compete with them and they stop Arsenal winning trophies.

Don’t reread your own posts then?
I can't believe people are picking holes in the 114/115 thing. The reported length of contract won't be entirely accurate. It could be 9 years and 5 months but it'll be reported as 9 and a half years. You can be sure that a contract of this specific length isn't an accident. It's a deliberate feck you. Arguing over the specific maths is just laughable.

It’s quite obviously not deliberate. It’s only a half year because he’s signing it in January.
Either way it's all gone wrong for Me Levy and his bean counters!

You forgot to expunge the Fourier Transform pair from the integer.

Not in this case. As 12 months at 0.5 is 6 months not 5. So he is right.

Our chairman has boosted our revenues massively through legit and amazingingly executed means. Excuse him if watching others side step the rules and bury the truth beneath corrupt Execs and lawyers is an problem for you.
Shows the mark of some of our fans when theyd rather we get in with the cheats than play by the rules and insist everyone does.
I'm sure if we faced a points deduction for cheating you'd be saying " nice one Levy, good try". Not!

We're sticking to rules that are about to be obsolete, that's my point. Without the rules, Levy no longer has an excuse not to spend. It's quite clear that he doesn't have the capital to compete should there be more flexibility on spending going forward.
The other clubs in the 'top six' have stretched ahead of us. Villa and Newcastle are now outspending us (the latter will even more if they relax the rules) and we're competing in a pool with the likes of Brentford and Brighton looking for bargains.
Sorry Dev but yours is a failing argument. The PL has outgrown ENIC. If they care even slightly about the football, they'd sell but they won't because the cash cow keeps on producing.
This is our Mike Ashley period, I'm convinced of it.

Cheats? We're yet to see evidence of that. No one has been punished this year, despite the fact that Leicester have clearly bent the rules. City's spending this month suggests they're also going to get away with it so tell me, what's the actual benefit in 'sticking to the rules'? Sure, we're well run as a business but frankly, who gives a feck? We want success on the pitch, not on the balance sheet. No other club operates the way we do. We charge exorbitant prices but fail to match that with squad outlay. You could argue we've spent big on Dom and Brennan but those are larger transfer fees but lower wages. A real statement of intent would have been Neto, who Ange supposedly wanted all along. We got Yang and Odobert. Why? Because they're on peanuts.
I'm tired of making this point. We are where we are because Levy operates the way he does so feck off with your well run bullshiiiit because no one cares anymore and after City get away with what they've done by outspending the PL on lawsuits time and time again, the rules will be scrapped, leaving Levy's tiny little purse up shiiiit creek without a paddle.
Er, City haven't been found guilty of any wrongdoing yet.

Oh do me a favour. Of course they’re guilty. It’s now more about lawyers spending fortunes finding loopholes to exploit. City know that the PL don’t have the spending power to fight appeal after appeal. Money talks in law. It always has done.
