Outrageously shit bit of business from City. Mad club city when it comes to transfers if pep has a player who wants to leave aslong as they get the money they want they sell, can't believe we wasn't even looking, but I guess from his few starts at city nobody seen this level in him. It did look a lot of money at the time. But he went straight into the Chelsea side, scoring and assisting every week. We weren’t really to know how good he was from his limited game time, but surely City themselves should have known? Pep did this to Foden to start with, didn’t play him regularly at all despite his talent. Foden stuck with it and it’s paid off for him. Palmer obviously didn’t want to fart around with ten minutes here and there and he’s been proven right. Grew up a United fan, so maybe not the same attachment to City as Foden. |

I think it could be any one of Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester City and maybe even Chelsea have an outside chance. We just need to grin and bear it.
I think Berrada is being very realistic when he targets a title win by 2028. Of course you don't generally win the title at your first attempt. So I'd expect us to break into top 4 in the 2025/2026 season and then in the 2026/2027 season be in the title race even if we don't go the distance and then in 2027/2028 win it. And even that would be a major accomplishment and require continued good transfer business and finding the right coach and good development of our young players both in the first team and in the youth ranks and improvements in the medical team's management of injuries.
But I think if we could win the title at least once this decade and get to the Champions League semi-finals it would show we have finally turned the corner. I am just so bloody sick of bouncing in and out of top 4 and either playing in the Europa League or getting knocked out at Champions League group stages or round of 16. We are Manchester United and we should be competing for the title every season and going far in the Champions League and that for me is the measure of whether we are back.

City remains the big favourites , their squad quality and experience will see them through without much issue.
Rodri's injury is a problem, but nothing that Pep's doctor friend in spain cant fix in a few weeks !

It's a different case to the 115 charges, but probably the same outcome no doubt |

City was sided with on just 2 of the aspects of their wholesale challenges.
The PL won all other aspects of it. That Lawton article is such spin.

If they get away with the other stuff without significant punishment I may be done with the sport.

At this point if I was the other 18 clubs I'd threaten a break away. We're at the point where both this lot and Newcastle will be in a position to inflate their incomes and fuck the whole game up. A new league with financial rules you can't just circumvent whenever you please. |

No. Virtually every article in the press this morning calling out their bs. ‘The more you read of the Man City/APT judgement, the more it seems to me you would have to be a juvenile with extremely limited intellectual + analytical capacity to declare this a ‘victory’ for Man’ Guardian. |
