Is that all you can MUSTer?  Now you are being childish & being a mustard just like sinofire. We will treat you like one
Let me enlighten you.

Controversy dogged the renaming rights between the Docklands Owners and the AFL (Australian Football League) because of the lucrative sponsorship  deal between the AFL and QANTAS. Etihad Airways have the renaming rights of the Docklands stadium which is expected to expire  Feb' 2014.
With the 10 year lease now at Manchester City Stadium,  Etihad has the naming rights and will not have controversy from BPL (meeting the fit & proper person or entity test)  or others dogging it. Are you suggesting that BPL is  a lower profile league than the AFL? Bodoh.

Manchester City and its fans are happy with the MCFC owner. The owner have pumped equity not only into the FC but also to the City's surroundings. Converting the equity into shares without the FC going into onerous debts or gouging the  fans outright. Polls show that MCFC fans are the most satisfied among  the BPL.  City fans do not want the owner out!

We will gladingly oblige with more homer pics  since you asked politely. You are too kind by suggesting that you are PLAYING ALONG. You mean your euphemism for PLAYACTING.
At best you need to

At worst I'm suggesting you are misplacing your ontological predicates.  shakehead.gif
On one hand you incite others not to post here while on the other you are playing along. Utter height of hypocrisy.
I'll be kind to you,  you have been strung along by CityBP.  wink.gif
P.S. How did  you  pass your ESL 101 exams?

Haha took u four days to come up with a reply, amazing! laugh.gif keep on thinking your words can hurt me, I dont mind at all laugh.gif

PS: why should I pass ESL 101? I'm not from CANADA. What is this ABOT EH?

Hello City Fan here, I think (re)naming the great City of Manchester Stadium is a way for city to comply with the financial fair play rule.

Let's face it if they didn't do it (or even had the thought of it) they would be struggling with our losses. I'm no expert on the margin of loss or profit but I do know that City's move on painting one of etihad's plane (Blue Moon Rising) and the naming rights contract is a move to solve our problems.

Nasri isn't with City. I do think that Aguero will be coming following after Tevez's leave to Real Madrid.

I think Real Madrid is going to take on City's offer on droppping Aguero on their list and putting Tevez and Adebayor on it.

Corothians can pay 36million/40million why can't Real Madrid do the same.

Looking forward witht the Community Shield.

We like David Silva, WC player, with photogenic looks.
In lieu of your Nasri, what do you think of this one?

Boleh?

I am not enthusiastic about Nasri because of our recent problematic transfers fron Gunners (especially Ade whom I still rate highly as a striker).

True. MCFC will meet FFPR & has been proactive with EUFA regarding this issue.

Cogitate on this. How much did Etihad paid for the naming rights for the Docklands stadium?
Manchester City Football Club and Etihad Airways regarding their comprehensive partnership agreement & expanding commercial relationship.
http://mcfc.co.uk/News/Club-news/2011/July...ip-announcement


Pyroboy failed to comprehend that when he accused me of 'to call people in Australia as low profile' wrongly. Which part of my post states that?
Is that the reason pyroboy post knee-jerk comments here without much forethought? shakehead.gif

Me too. I don't think Rio (a known missing drug test violator & 'spousal cheat) is looking forward to it with his recent announcement about all-star game
Folks who suggested or excused Rio for missing his drug test ( the most eggregious of all drug violitions) ought to have their heads examined.

Felipe Caceido scored two (2) goals against Brazil tonight in a losing cause.
How did we 'let go' of this Ecuadorian beggars my mind.
Hughes brought in RSC, Ade, Tevez and Big Phil was loaned out to various clubs. Ending up last season at la liga helping Levante Club avoid relegation.
Will he end up in Russia?

Same here, I always rated him. Don't know why he wasn't given proper chance to play. He's pretty clinical in front of goal from what I've seen of him. Hope he does well in his new club. =)

Regarding CityBlueprint being implemented biggrin.gif

QUOTE
Manchester City were today unveiling plans for a world-beating training complex and ‘mini stadium’ on land opposite their Etihad Stadium.

The centre has been planned for two years and is understood to be unprecedented in scale.

The facilities, to be built on land owned by the football club in Openshaw West, will include 16 pitches for first team and academy players and a 7,000-capacity youth team stadium which will also be opened up for community use, we have learned.

It will massively boost City’s ability to nurture local talent with significant focus on developing young, home-grown players who can go on to become first team stars.

Plans are also believed to include accommodation and classrooms to house and educate academy and elite players, from ages eight to 18, as well as dedicated pitches, accommodation, a gym and injury rehab centre for City’s first team who will train on the same site.

Part of the cutting-edge campus will also be open to the public. It will sit at the heart of an area being transformed into a ‘world capital of sport’ by a partnership between the Blues, Manchester council and New East Manchester.

The club is also expected to confirm the donation of five-and-a-half acres of land on the site to the east Manchester community and the creation of a ‘significant’ number of jobs for local workers.

The launch of a public consultation on the plans today puts flesh on the bones of the expansion that the Blues hinted at when they signed their record-breaking sponsorship deal with Etihad 10 days ago.

The agreement, worth several hundred million pounds, saw their Eastlands ground renamed the Etihad Stadium and the surrounding SportCity area – including the 80 acres set to house the new training facilities – dubbed the Etihad campus.

Blues officials are understood to have visited 30 elite sports venues across the world to create a blueprint for their new complex, which is expected to rival or better AC Milan’s Milanello, widely considered to be the best in the world.

It would also meet Premier League top standards for club academies.

The club, which has outgrown its current facilities, is presently based across three sites – the Etihad Stadium, Carrington and Platt Lane – but the new plans will centralise that.

Blues bosses have already been given permission to clean up the 80 acres of contaminated former industrial land where they are hoping to win approval for the training ground.

A framework for the area published earlier this year showed plans for a possible footbridge linking the site to the stadium.

City have forked out millions on high price tag players since their Abu Dhabi owners took over in 2008.

The club is hoping to use more sustainable investment in home-grown talent to secure long-term success.

The Blues academy has already produced 30 players who have made first team debuts since its inception in 1998.

These plans will allow expansion of both that and their City in the Community programme.

Several exhibition open days will be held by the club from Wednesday and the club has sent leaflets to hundreds of local residents outlining the plans.

This is what one of the locals have to say
QUOTE
Oh this is just getting embarrassing now. When will our owners stop pumping resourses into the local community, creating jobs and generally doing a great job. Why cant they plunge us into debt and squeeze every last penny out of our fans like normal clubs do. I for one would endorse a scheme where fans are held to ransom so they are forced to hand over credit card details for cup games they cant, or dont want to go to so we can proudly say we fill our ground for every game. We dont even own our stadium, oh the shame

That is what I've mentioned, City are losing their identity, not trolling.

I remember MUFC once had a proposal to change OT's name to Nike Arena. Fans raged and they dropped the idea. I think City should reject the proposal because since City is the 'pure' Manchester Club, they should at least keep the City of Manchester name. It's like Wembley changing to Virgin stadium. The English root is gone.

Why would MC football club lose its identity? Its just naming rights for obvious reason for crying out loud. Suppose City sold the naming rights to Nike. Would MCFC be losing its identity?

I suggest you should delve more deeply into the real reason why local MU fans raged against the idea. Cogitate on that. If you don't have a clue then ponder over why they are against the Glazers ownership which unfortunately you fans are powerless to get rid off.


On a separate note, what may have gone unnoticed is that City have gazumped clubs like RM, Barca by snaring young superkid players like Denis Suarez. Stay tune.

This does rather beg the question of how the sponsor benefits from such a deal: what’s in a name? The obvious answer is brand awareness with a raised profile, which is particularly well served if it is a new stadium. This point was seized upon by Ian Ayre, Liverpool’s managing director, who noted, “It hasn’t happened in Europe that a football club has renamed an existing stadium and it’s had real value.” This is correct, but it’s doubtful whether too many fans are attached to the name Eastlands (or even the City of Manchester Stadium). It would be a different story if this had been Maine Road. This is why it would be difficult to sell naming rights for grounds like Anfield or Old Trafford, as whatever name anybody tried to call the stadium, everyone would still use the old/real one.

'tis

BTW if the WC tournament were to be held today in England, Etihad Stadium will be the only Manchester stadium to comply with FIFA WC venue specs. OTOH, OT will have to dismantle 10,000 seats, info gleaned under the Freedom of Information Access request. Go figure why.

Blame it on Hughes. He wanted his boys RSC & Beller to shine.



For those of us waiting with bated breath

SERGIO AGUERO has told Manchester City he is on his way to the Etihad Stadium – after a glowing reference from want-away rebel Carlos Tevez.
City are close to sealing a £38million deal with Atletico Madrid for the striker who knows he will be able to command wages of £200,000 a week in Manchester.
Any doubts about moving to the Premier League club have been allayed in chats with Argentina team-mate Tevez while on duty at the Copa America.

There will be a flurry of actvities come transfer dateline to reiterate le Professeur.
'Plots and double-dealings', Cat & Mouse Game now.

Its a buyers market.
Almost every Club wants Tevez but can't afford.
Nasri & Sneidjer will be sold. Will selling clubs blink first?


If Aguero-City deal is consummated,
AM, City will be the winners
Especially yours truly will be satisfied ever since I touted for him way back in 2007.


He is just not only a lethal striker. His assists may have been less highlited but thats what I'm looking forward too with Mario-Dzeko-Aguero-Silva-Yaya in the upstream lineup.
Who knows Tevez (if he stays) will be the icing on the cake!

Sneidjer and or Nasri will be bonuses. The likelihood that both Manchester clubs will get one of each is very high.
We won't need Nike to finance Sneidjer. That will be financial doping wink.gif No?

Hmm eventhough im a manutd fan, but i do watch city playing. De jong has been a great "no nonsense" DM. I think he's been around much more than gareth barry(barry more injuries) really a big waste if to lose him at this stage. He's been a key player.
