MCFC - OK!

I can't get on BM to gloat at all the "ITK's"


I'm so happy MH has put his foot down and forced the club forward as a result


Well done MH, how do we get some cash now

that is good news

excuse me while i go and check

To be honest, if all the shit is to be believed re Thaksin's agents wanting Corluka to go then I am MORE pleased by the possibility that Hughes has won this battle more than anything else.

I like Hughes and I trust him.

Forevercity will be banned

About time gob shiting cunt.

got lucky twice and wrong loads for me

Cya

Not according to happyblue (the only person with ITK who ever gets things right he hardly posts)

He set his heart on his move to Spurs, as I said earlier £8m transfer
fee and he went with Hughes blessing as he was promised the full
transfer to spend on a striker. He was offered a significant pay rise
on his £40k a week at city (sorry don't know what the pay rise was but
then i wouldn't not being a Spurs fan!).

However Hughes had a
change of heart and spoke to Corluka a second time about staying and
sold his vision of what he wants. Net result is he stays, Hughes shows
he is in control of the Transfers and despite the doom mongers saying
Hughes wanted out this also proves his desire to make us successful.

That's as much as i know, but take it as the truth!!

I can confirm I know feck all about if they will re-take the First Team official Photo lol...

Put it to bed now, lets move on!!

Cheers Ducky, I guess we'll have to wait for the autobiographies to be certain. I'm pissed off that I can't get on BM to give those spuds cunts some abuse.

I can get on you have to keep trying

I get on and try and read a thread and then it goes again. It's a pain in the fucking arse.

Back in the team photo

FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING COCKNEY CUNTS.
Well done Hughes, you've gone up in my books

Agent says Corluka is very unhappy and having passed a medical and agreed personal terms he stills wants to go.

Seems its Charlie who wants to go and not all the Thai boards doing.

SSN

If you take a look on BM, it seems we wont be a PL club by the end of the week... Its very strong stuff to just be making up, i don't believe it having just spent £25mil but we really seem to be in some sort of shit at this present time!

"Let me start by saying that I am neither City or Spurs, but I do know
a little about what is happening with Corluka due to a 'business'
interest.

When Spurs first made contact, it was Shinawatra's people that agreed a
fee with Spurs and told Corluka he was free to leave. They did that
without Mark Hughes' knowledge or consent.

Corluka was suprised to say the least. When Hughes took over he told
Corluka he was one of the mainstays in his future plan for MCFC.
Nevertheless, Corluka travelled to London to meet with Spurs' people.

Hughes then found out about the deal, and basically vetoed it - which
was something the Thai's people had agreed he could do with any
transfer activity when he took over. That's when Corluka was summoned
back to Manchester to go up to Glasgow for the Celtic friendly.

Behind the scenes a real row started between Hughes and certain
elements of the board; Hughes furious that they had gone behind his
back to sell Corluka to Spurs, and the board enraged that Hughes had
effectively recalled him from London for the Celtic game.

Shinawatra's people told Hughes that evening that the deal was 'too
good to turn down', largely due to Shinawatra's financial problems. So,
immediately after the Celtic game, Corluka flew back to London to
resume talks with Spurs.

When Spurs' initial offer was accepted, Corluka had no real desire to
leave City. That wasn't anything against Spurs, more the vision for the
future of MCFC he had been sold by Hughes and Cook. However, after
meeting with Spurs and talking with Modric, Corluka was sold on
Tottenham and agreed terms. He went through a two-day medical, which he
passed without problem. He's been holed up in a London since early
Friday morning - hence why he missed the club photo.

Spurs agreed the final details for the transfer with City yesterday
morning, and Corluka put pen to paper on his player registration.

Then City's people accepted the offer from Sunderland for Stephen
Ireland, and Hughes went properly mental. Twice in 48 hours he felt he
was having players he wanted sold from under him. In a rage, it was
Hughes who called Ireland and told him he was expected to report to the
CoMS to report for the Milan game. Hughes putting him on for a couple
of minutes was a big statement on his part.

Here comes the really interesting part.

Hughes last night told Cook he was through with City and wants out, the
sale of Corluka and Ireland being the straw that broke the camel's
back. He said if the Corluka deal went through particularly, he would
be on his way out of City too.

At that point City have tried to derail the Corluka and Ireland deals.

BUT, Spurs claim to have completed the paper work for the transfer
which has already been lodged with the FA and signed by someone from
City with authorisation to do so. City say they agreed a sale in
principle with Spurs, but that no final transfer documents had been
signed.

As such Corluka, who was expecting to be paraded at White Hart Lane
this afternoon, is in limbo. However, he has now set his heart on Spurs
and linking up with Modric and has told City he will not return to the
CoMS under any circumstances. He has been sold on Tottenham, and become
frustrated with the background stuff taking place at City.

Spurs and City are maintaining their respective positions, but Spurs
have basically told City that they are willing to see the issue go to
court. They believe they have signed Corluka, and Corluka wants to play
for them.

What a mess."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from an alleged employee of MCFC -

"I'm sorry to say this, as a life long fan and - for the last few (for
me at least) unforgettable months - employee, MCFC as we know it is
finished. Here are the FACTS, for those who really want to know.
Thaksin is, as of midlnight 10th August, 2008, an international
fugitive.

He now has to be found guilty of corruption in Thailand in his absense,
offering no defence. Extradition requests will surely follow. The PL
will then have to find him short of the fit and proper ownership rules
(and believe me, the pressure for that from fellow 'members' has been
growing since June).

Thaksin is trying to palm off City onto whoever will now take it, an
insolvent mess of a business, completely incapable of sustaining
itself. The truth is that the only interested party (until recently) -
Wardle - is not now able to bail City out now , he cant come close on
his own and no partners have been found. The wage bioll and
committments due on the last 2 years' transfers have spiralled out of
control.

The Corluka affair is the last straw - I personally worked on the deal
and can assure anyone interested that he has already been transferred
to Spurs. Spurs have this evening started legal action, and he will be
barred from playing for City following an injunction in the courts
tomorrow.

Personally I expect Hughes to then resign on principal (he has no
choice now, he is on record as saying that he will have final say on
all transfers). Many wont believe any of this, but a few will.

I am very close to this situation (readers will never know who I am or
how close - a few would know my name but it isnt appropriate to for me
to come 'out') - trust me, I am close enough to know what has
happened in the last fortnight, I am pissed off with it (as a fan,
and as someone who has worked hard for the club durinig the ast 18
months or so) and it must be said, a little drunk.

I am posting this message on a few sites - apologies for those that
keep reading it, but I want City fans to know what is happening. The
sad truth is we are finished, and that as a result, the PL will be
facing its biggest challenge since inception within 2 weeks of now."

Paranoia is rife with blues turning on each other and anyone else jumped on.

I think were in the shit bigtime.

We've hit the iceberg and are slowly sinking, juet hope the rescue team can salvage us. (whoever that maybe)

Wouldn't be city all over if we were on the verge of winning something and go out of business!
