PL released the independent commissions report. Their findings is essentially: City were a state owned club and entered into marketing deals with real companies that only paid something like 160M pounds of sponsorship and ADUG (Government entity, City's owner is the king/princes brother) paid the other 900M pounds of fees over 8-9 years.

Good thing City is the only club doing this. It’s not like some rich Qataris bought a club in Paris and then bribed some refs to win the UCL!

I know PSG has nothing to do with this but frick them and everyone who wanted them to beat us in the Champions League Final. They do this exact same shite.
I get it, we are owned by a Billionaire but to this date a billionaire who hasn't injected too much money into the club. I believe the most is financing the Partey release clause payment to La Liga since it had to be paid up front, and I believe refinancing the debt so we weren't buried in interest.
That said, we have done it the "right" way. Same with Liverpool. We aren't cheats. Hell even Spurs, or United (glazers took an arse load from them).
City and PSG do not have the world wide presence (maybe PSG does now) to be self sustaining and fricking people laugh at us for doing it the right way. frick them. frick City. frick that Doper Pep. frick Abu Dhabi. frick them all.
Can't compete long term with City paying 6 world class players double contracts. One with City, the other with Dubai. It is a complete joke. Liverpool shits on us and I HATE them however, they DOMINATED the late 2010s and got robbed by these arse hats City. They built correctly and spent wisely sorta kinda like you know Arsenal in the 2020s.

Also,
frick Barcelona and all the former Barcelona employees and frauds that help facilitate all this shite. City learned from the best. Barcelona has cheated for decades, paying refs, doping, financial doping, and so on and guess who was a part of that? So many of City's footballing directors and board members and former staff cough cough Pep.
Raul Sanllehi tried to pull that shite at Arsenal and got blasted out of the fricking door

It's all in the files.
The difference between what the sponsors actually paid and what was recorded in the books was 836 million.
But they also hid expenses. They fudged about 1 billion.
More actually. They didn't start having legit sponsor money in 2019. If you look at how it was going, they were just getting more brazen. The emails show they communicated they could do whatever the frick they wanted.
Year one it's like total 27m in sponsor deals. 4.5m came from the sponsor, the rest from Abu Dhabi.
By year 9 its 140m in sponsor deals, only 11m came from an actual sponsor, rest from Abu Dhabi.
So you aren't going to convince me in 2019 they went legit with real sponsor money.
And this has grown my respect for Arsene Wenger. He sacrificed his legacy to not be a dirty fricking cheat like Chelsea and City. Moving to the emirates was absolutely necessary to be able to have increased revenue so we can compete down the line. He knew.

[L'Equipe]: William Saliba has started running again after recent X-ray showed his recovery is on track. He's watched every Arsenal & France game and been impressed by his replacements (Konsa & Jacquet). Desperate to play but won't rush it. Currently on course for November return.

Hearing Tzolis has done his hamstring. Just fricking shoot me.

Did Saliba have a procedure done? If not, then this back issue will flare up again at some point correct?

Not sure he had procedure. And yes, once your back goes it goes.

No one knows what the issue is. My suspicion (and others online agree) is it’s a pars fracture leading to spondylolisthesis. LINK
The vast majority of these are managed with rest, therapy, NSAIDs. Very rarely do they require surgery. Frankly I’ve never seen it require surgery in practice. The prolonged recovery time fits with a spondy. It can flare up from time to time if it never fully heals (many don’t, some do). Ongoing PT and core strengthening will be important.

Ready to beat the frick out of my boy S's Leeds squad.
It's a get right game for us.
Should be slightly chaotic as post international games usually are but I'm pretty sure most everyone is back training that was away on national duty (injuries aside).
