Wayne Bridge is reportedly on 110k a week and hes absolute *****.
Exactly, hard to sell someone who is earning double what they would at the next club.
Reminds me of another defender whose initials were "WB".

Can't open it on my phone but I have downloaded the full UFFPR rule pack onto my computer somewhere in all its 800 page+ glory. Not sure whether its the final rulebook but its the one UEFA released to the press/anyone who asked back in March. I should probably read it... I'm already highly suspicious that Roman might have idea's around it already since he splashed 70 in January and planning more this summer. Maybe I give owners too much credit but UEFA have passed pretty leaky legislation in the past.
Thunderlulz! Our Export Manager just told me that "Etihad" is Arabic for "United", so City have called their ground "The United Stadium"
No, it means 'Unity'. And even if it was it would be 'The United Airways Stadium', would it not?
'Etihad’ is a name that represents everything that its airline upholds. Meaning ‘united’ in Arabic, Etihad Airways is a carrier that reinforces everything that its name represents. The airline is seen as a symbol of the bonding among the seven emirates that constitute the United Arab Emirates.
Jacko, the key bits:
The naming rights could provide an early test, however, for Uefa's FFP panel, which requires any sponsorship deal with a party related to the club's owners to pass a "fair value" test.
City have been trying to increase their revenue to meet Uefa's new criteria but Etihad's close links with the club's owners will almost certainly mean Uefa seek to ascertain that the airline has not paid an inflated price.
The governing body have said they will use benchmarking exercises and specialists in the field to determine whether sponsorship and naming-rights deals are above their true market value. If it is deemed that they are, the excess must be deducted from break-even calculations

So clarification that neither Abramovich or his family can simply pump billions of pounds into Chelsea to make sure they break even..
How are they supposed to flog these players on 100k+ P/w? That's just ridiculous. We can't even flog players like Denilson, Almunia, Squillache, Eboue who are all around the 50K mark. Staggering.
That sounds even worse.No, it means 'Unity'. And even if it was it would be 'The United Airways Stadium', would it not?
Ade is from what I've been hearing is threatening legals with Man City too after they placed £14 million tag on him and was banished from the training squad.
If they are paying him his wage, surely he can't do anything about it?
Also, whatever legals he can afford, I presume ManC will be able to afford 10x.
Sorry, it means 'Union' not 'Unity'.

Arabic speakers; can you translate the word "Etihad" for me? - Yahoo!7 Answers
King of the Kippax: Phew... ETIHAD does NOT mean "United"
or maybe it does mean 'Unity' - Actually اتحاد (ittiHaad) means "unity". It can also refer to a union or association.
Now, متحد (muttaHid) means "united". IDK I'm confused.
When people are United, they are in a Unity or Union.
So same thing imo.
