If there was a feasible way for us to get a new stadium right now, which was cost effective, we'd be doing it.


Cost effective according to John Henry's financial objectives is not the same as cost effective the consultants will be working to the guidelines Henry gave them.


The problem with that diabolical theory is that the consultants work for the club and not for John Henry.

Just a few points to note here.

1 -Man City lease the Etihad and only paid 20mil to convert it to a stadium

2 - Just doing a quick bit of adding, we have had a total net spend during the entire premier league era of circa 330 mil. In the last 3 years (or 6 windows) that total has been circa 106 mil. So in reality it would be closer to 20 transfer windows rather than the 3 you, as always, flippantly throw out there

Marko has just said the consultants work for the club not John Henry who does he think owns the club ? Go against what John Henry wants you won't be a consultant for long

And maxi the transfer windows from now on will be nothing like previous the money in football now is off the scale

And on City leasing the stadium and not actually having built it initially?

You'll also note that further in my post (although to be fair, it often appears that you barely skim through other posts) that I referred to the most recent years. I even gave you the benefit of the doubt and took off a few transfer windows as it really would be over 22 transfer windows.

Oh, so why do you say they built it then? I don't live near it and I knew that. I guess where you live has nothing to do with a bit of common knowledge...

I'v been there on match day. I don't know what relevance that has to anything going forward or is this a weak attempt to discredit me?

If you mean the Etihad I haven't been there but you're argument was, if City can build a new stadium so can we. That was misinformation as I'm sure you were aware but thought you might try and pass it off to bolster your point no doubt
