Can't say i'd heard of a few of these! Especially the ones that came on. Lots of U18's included. Marson Diallo Ali Toko Daniels Neale Lawrence Hutchinson Aideed Anugo King (cannot believe he's still here ) Subs used Corden Akolbire Manyumba Owusu

Guessing he played in the behind closed doors friendly? Naturally i'm sure we'll never hear a report from that

Been able to see his peak for a while now.....

Rehan unsurprisingly dropped by England for the Tri Series. Crane in as understudy to Rashid, great chance for him to force his way into the South Africa test squad too. England Men ODI squad Harry Brook (Yorkshire – captain) Gus Atkinson (Surrey) Sonny Baker (Hampshire) Tom Banton (Somerset) James Coles (Sussex) Jordan Cox (Essex) Mason Crane (Glamorgan) Henry Crocombe (Sussex) Sam Curran (Surrey) Liam Dawson (Hampshire) Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire) Will Jacks (Surrey) Jamie Overton (Surrey) Adil Rashid (Yorkshire) Joe Root (Yorkshire) Josh Tongue (Nottinghamshire)

Yes, it’s quite a large ball though….

I’m enjoying watching this unfold. People might start to realise the power Abu Dhabi hold and the amount of this country (let alone Manchester) they already own.

I mean I did say the Burnham thing would happen yesterday and everyone seemed surprised

Football at the highest level has become a very efficient way to “move” money. Why do you think states started getting involved. Why do you think American venture capital started to get involved. Etc etc. A lot of the gambling sponsorship money is linked to arms and drugs dealing. It’s mental.

That wasn’t my point. I was saying if they need protection they might have some given the huge investments they’ve made in the city.

No

I say this in the least political way possible, but look who is at the top of the country, and then look who has helped make Manchester the wealthy thriving city it currently is…

BC.Game is exactly the same as the sham contracts Man City did, just slightly better disguised. However hackers/leakers are getting closer to finding the source of these companies ownership which could cause carnage. All of these gambling front are set up by Tax avoidance experts in Malta, aka people who know how to launder money. Money comes in from person A…. Or person T if you will… 👀 and comes out the other end as a £25m sponsorship deal. Funniest bit is we still managed to fail FFP even while cheating!

They own half of Manchester, anyone who thinks they’re getting relegated is foolish, it’ll be structured in whatever way looks hard hitting but keeps them right where they are.

A commercial director overseeing both the sales and marketing teams isn’t unheard of. Particularly one who has 20+ years marketing experience at Villa and Wolves. I’d say given we need to be better at engagement that leads to commercial impact it would have been a sensible decision! The reason it didn’t happen is Tony protecting his mates.

I never said anything about the CD reporting to Herlihy, I was saying he's significantly more qualified to take charge of our Marketing team than Tony. The reason he hasn't is becuase he 100% would have weeded out the people who have been here 15+ years and are Tony's over promoted mates.

Not only that... he now oversees our severely underqualified marketing department too. Despite the fact we hired a commercial director with marketing experience across the premier league

I prefer "firmly tunneled up his fart box" but we can go with palm of his hand if you like....

Josimar are doing a series of articles on this in the coming weeks. Imagine lots more to come on this. I'm going to take a look through the 'casino leaks' tonight to see if there's anything new in there on BC Game in the interim.

Farewell Sweet Al Hilda @hfaes

UAE deadline day today so left it late.

Signed by a Dubai side owned by one of the Maktoum sons..... interesting....

Hey i'll have you know one of them is our 3rd/4th choice thank you very much!!

Are we mostly positive about this season? We didn't finish bottom and would have stayed up without the deduction. Got to another one day final. T20 was horrific but seem to have given up on that in recent years. I guess the clouds are all the 'fallings out' that have been rumoured. Personally didn't think we'd get a point so to get 111 (well... more) was pretty impressive

I guess Essex getting pumped is the only bright spot if by some miracle our appeal works

Well our ****ing league two title challenge next season just got a whole lot harder, ****s sake.
