Savage: "How great it is for 2 teams 3rd and 4th in the table to see so many academy products in both starting 11s." There's literally one

Van Gaal says Southampton were lucky and Utd were much better. What a joker

They didn't even have a shot on target, how is that better...

Where is that glory hunter BJ?

 

You only post when you're winning, you only post when you're WINNIING....

 

Jerk

He's probably in a glory hole

to play devils advocate a little, for Liverpool, and Man U, it's obvious they are weak in defence, but which quality defenders realistically are available?

 

I'd say for Pool as well it's a question coaching, Rogers either doesnt value or can't coach good defensive play

Manchester City's finances are facing renewed Uefa scrutiny after it emerged that the complex structure of its City Football Group parent company is being investigated.

The Premier League champions, who were fined £16million and forced to play with a reduced Champions League squad by Uefa last year for breaking Financial Fair Play regulations, have endured accusations of duplicity in recent days over the contractual situation of Frank Lampard, who will spend the rest of the season at the Etihad Stadium after initially appearing only to be on loan from New York City FC until the end of December.

After proclaiming Lampard’s arrival last August as a loan, the club has now confirmed that the 36-year-old actually signed a year-long City contract, despite fans in New York and Manchester being led to believe that the midfielder had signed for the newly-formed MLS franchise, which is also controlled by CFG.

While the Premier League and City claim that no rules were broken in relation to Lampard, Uefa’s probe into the finances of CFG could lead to further FFP-related sanctions if evidence can be found to prove that the formation of subsidiary companies allowed the club to under-report losses in their 2013-14 accounts.

Two subsidiary companies – City Football Marketing Ltd and City Football Services Ltd – incurred costs, including wages, of £36.7million in the year to the end of May 2014, posting combined losses of £25.9million in that period.

A City spokesperson said: "The examination of the Club's structure and subsidiary companies is a scheduled and routine part of the UEFA monitoring process."

City, who believe themselves to be on course to meet Uefa’s FFP target this financial year having halved losses to £23million, increased their transfer spending on Sunday by agreeing a deal worth up to £28million for Swansea forward Wilfried Bony.

The arrival of Bony takes City’s spending during the winter and summer windows to £83million, with the full fee for Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala now being confirmed as £42million,  rather than the £32m reported by the club at the time of his arrival.

Bunch of conmen

City are a very dodgy club at the moment. Next season when they fail to keep up with FFP rules again they should be given a much harsher punishment. It's time to come down hard on them.

It's so obvious they're bent...it took us years of winning trophies, competing in latter stages of cl, to generate big money and city, who don't have anywhere near the same appeal (not in fashionable London, sh*t in Europe etc) are already at our level after five minutes at the top? Just stinks of a fiddle

United - Godin/Hummels?

Liverpool - it's irrelevant, quality defenders already playing at an elite level don't see joining Liverpool as 'career progression'...

City - CFG etc.....it'll all end in tears

Eliaquim Mangala = £42M. Holy f**k.

The more I look at it BQ I think £42 is probably closer to true value.

£42 seems a bargain to me.

I remember when Jose said that cos chelsea couldn't afford to compete with City over mangala they signed Zouma instead...looks like another brilliant decision and Zouma already looks like he has the potential to be a better player

Haha brilliant!

I don't agree with FFP, if someone wants to splash the cash on a football team why should they be stopped?

But the rules are in place & there is no way City can be in line with them.

 

Greek footballer handballs his own shot off the line. Corruption in football?...no way

 

What the hell! So he meant to not score when he shot... the best way would be to miss the target surely.

All credits to the Saint, that's 7 points against Chelsea/Arsenal/United, that's like a team aiming for the top 4.

 

Same old Spurs, back to the pack chasing Europa league again.

 

Surprised Everton rescued a point to hand us a lead, the way they been defending, I thought it's going to be another 3:6 game.

how dare you spread such gossip...van gaal is the best coach the world has ever seen and couldn't possibly be responsible for his team having a sh*t defence, horrific injury record, players storming out of stadiums and Utd having same points tally as david moyes did a year ago despite blowing £150m

Just checked the article. Van Gaal never looks quite right. He looks, err, odd? I can't put my finger on why but he does.

And now they are spending 25 million on Wilfried Bony...

 

I thought they had to get rid of Negredo due to FFP??

Negredo and his family wanted to go back to Spain, nothing to do with FFP.
