He'll start around July as will Lampard. Apparently it's fairly typical of the league. League runs through to December I think.

Right ok, so I can see a scenario where come December and the end of the season, Gerrard could have a few weeks off then potentially join us again on loan for the second half of next season.

Apparently(according to a few tabloids anyway) Manchester City are soon going to announce a new £80million-a-year sponsorship deal with Etihad.

 

[Cruyff14]

That is insane!

Jesus, the bloke posts a stat about his teams manager which is actually very interesting. Who cares if you don't like the poster, pull your head in and don't be inflammatory for the sake of it. Sometimes the people who complain the most about this board are the ones making problems.

Right out of the Paris Qatar playbook.

 

[Magma]

theyve been ruled as an independent body i believe. plus other clubs announcing bigger deals hasnt hurt

 

[moomba]

£80m is more in line with deals other teams are getting. £40m was starting to look very undervalued.

Hope its true.

Quite a few MLS players have joined European clubs on loan for January. Beckham, Henry, Donovan, Keane etc. Staying beyond that (as a few have tried) runs the risk of missing the start of the next MLS season.

Is this per year?

 

[moomba]

Is this per year?

According to the report yes.

 

[chef]

Is this per year?

Yep, apparently. But its for more than just shirt sponsorship, includes training ground, training kit, stadium, academy etc

 

[moomba]

The third longest serving manager in league football is Karl Robinson who has been in the job less than 5 years. There would be hundreds of non league managers that have been in the job longer than all but one or two league managers.

 

[jod23]

No

Err, right ok.

 

[moomba]

Err, right ok.

Your question was asked and answered.

Your question was asked and answered.

So Frank Lampard hasnt been on loan at City all season?

 

[Magma]

The answer hasn't changed from the last time you asked exactly the same question.

Fair enough (Y)

80m per year would be the going rate for shirt+stadium wouldn't it?

 

[jod23]

no he's had a one year contract

Ah a sane person who gives information.

I didnt know he had signed a one year contract? I must have missed that. How is it possible when he plays for NYC?
