Biz, did you really need to give a serious response to very obvious jokes? :o

And on the Etihad/City subject; it's reported that City have sold the naming rights to the City of Manchester stadium to Etihad. No details have been released yet but it will be interesting to see how much City will 'earn' from the deal.

We signed a deal in 2003 IIRC saying we can sell them.

I meant the latest purchase as in the deal to use the plane and have it customized etc

You would think the local council will demand a rather large fee if they allow it to go ahead.

As for the value of the deal, this could quite easily be the first situation of ridiculous fee no other club in the world could attract, and the fair play people getting involved and deciding if it represents fair market value or not. Though I wouldn't expect them to weigh in immediately as the actual rules kick in essentially 3 seasons from now. They are monitoring the next 3 seasons but no actual "you're in/out/shake it all about/fined" decisions will happen for a few years.

One of the problems we could be facing is Barca, City, Utd, Chelsea, Real all ramping up their shirt/stadium naming rights to increase what is fair market value. IE all get in a room and decide this year Barca increase their deal by 5mil, next year Real do it, the year after City go up by 5mil and then each year they all match the deal so in 3 years time they've all got a £40mil a year shirt deal and naming rights....... but if several clubs all have similar money they can argue it would represent fair market value.

We have already 'purchased' the rights to do it. The council just get a fixed fee now per game or season IIRC.

It will not be a massive amount because UEFA will weigh in straight away. I imagine that it will be a fee that increases with how successful we become.
 
Rumour doing the rounds that Charlie Adam cannot agree terms with us? Surely that's not the case. Anyone know why this deal is being held up?

Held up? We only agreed a fee yesterday. Other than on transfer deadline day (when clubs are in a mad rush to tie things up), how often are deals concluded within 24 hours of a fee being agreed between clubs? Almost never.

As there's no rush for it to be completed, the relevant paperwork that needs to be sent off to the FA/League can sometimes take a day or two.

Man City deserve mad props for buying a plane in these turbulent times. I still don't thing they've even got a wing and a prayer of winning the PL though.

Coning up next - City purchase church and paint it with team colours :p
 
Well thanks for the long service O'Shea & Brown, time to move on and bring in the youth!

But having said that, Sunderland can have an extra 2 players for £1m (Gibson, Evans). :p
