Blue Moon - The Manchester City Thread - C'MON CITY!

[Tom Shines]

how is bojinov going, i haven't seen him since he picked up that injury against Manure

Only his second start since then — last week v Streymur and yesterday.
Two goals.

Looks the goods, but picked up a hamstring strain.

 

[Twizzle]

any truth in the rumour that Thaksin has done a runner over night ?

 

[brendothejet]

yeah reading on Bluewatch forums Thakers is seaking asylum in China. City could be really f**ked. there are talks of administration and all sortsa nasty sh*t.

not good.

 

[Twizzle]

not good,

feel very sorry for City fans if that's the case

 

[Tom Shines]

Yeah well, you're not getting Vedran either.

[Twizzle]

we've lodged in injunction to stop him from playing as he has apparently already signed with Spurs, before City upped their price again

 

[Tom Shines]

Injuctions don't mean sh*t. Just ask Sonny Bill.

 

[Twizzle]

we'll see

I think the bigger picture for you guys will be the future of your club

I hope it doesn't fall apart because of this crook, he is issuing a statement at 9:00AM London time, 6 o'clock (PM) our time

funny i got home yesterday and my MCFC membership card was in the mail. Felt like i won second place in a beauty contest. lol

 

[fish eel]

It's all going pearshaped.

This is modern football and the pitfalls of sugar daddy private owners, unfortunately.

 

[shiznit]

:lol:

Hughes is about to walk out on the club, Thaskin has lost 800 million pounds (or something ridiculous around there).

They are trying to sell a couple of there stars, well in truth force them out. Corluka and now Ireland.

It is all going wrong. Sven was lucky, he forced his way out in time.

 

[Twizzle]

I hope FA appoint an administrator and this gets sorted out stat

the EPL needs Man C

 

[Tom Shines]

Jumping the gun a bit boys.

Thaksin's 800 million quid are FROZEN, not lost. Same as it has always been.
He doesn't want to return home and face the courts, which is understandable.

Hughes won't walk yet, but if the board tries to sell players from underneath him (like Corluka and Ireland), he's outta there.
All transfer activity will probably cease as the Sky money is being used to pay wages and existing transfer fees. We're not broke though.

The chief of the Premier League says he would be willing to subject Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra to the fit and proper person test.

Thaksin faces corruption charges in Thailand and a warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to appear in court in Bangkok on Monday.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "If we feel the rule has been breached, we will invoke it.

"(But) we have a club owner who has not yet been found guilty of any offence."

I hope you're right,

still its gonna be hard to recruit and keep players while all this is going on

I'd say the transfer window is closed as far as we're concerned, unless it's one in/one out.

Apparently Santa Cruz wants in, and Rovers would take £15mil for him. Where we get that kind of cash from I have no idea. Selling Michael Johnson might be a start, he wants a contract upgrade the cheeky f**ker.

 

[Twizzle]

I think he's the sort of player that you must keep during trying times like this,

if he leaves I could see a few others saying whats the point of staying

Come on Tom, its not quite as it has always been, the heat has been turned up big time, and this saga has a long way to go yet IMO.

Mark Hughes must be wondering what he has got himself in for!

 

[Dragooner]

Plenty of rumours with Johnson to the Gooners! And we desperately need another midfielder, and quickly too, will also help our 'English-Player Image' and is a wonderful talent.

 

[Tom Shines]

You can have him.
