I think he thought we should change our style to pass the ball to his feet rather than adapt, not a team player by the sound of it

Would love to know what happened between him and the club. Seemed to be some sort of falling out/creative differences.

Trigs-remember Zach Robinson playing for us in that game, another who thought he was too good for us. After he left he scored 1 goal in 12 games for Motherwell and has played one game for Greenock Morton this season

Let’s be charitable and say he may have been unlucky with injuries
Was the floodlight pylon in the OTD picture really as thin as it looks?

I seem to think that whenever I ask similar questions someone comes up with a list of others
Trigs - quite possibly in the AFCW era, but WFC academy products have scored in that era.

We go there with a far better squad and manager than we had last time.

Last time we were there we were time wasting in the first half it was dreadful. Then managed to score a decent equaliser but threw it all away in the last minute.
Apparently we have sold 1,100 tickets for Sheffield Wednesday already

First academy product to score a PL goal?
* and before somebody jumps on my maths given it is 19 years from 2007 until 2026, I was referring to 18 years worth of accounts which run to June 2025!

RK - sorry for the delayed response as I have been offline for a few hours. You make a good point about the auditors. I understand Man City are a private company and report under FRS102. There is very specific disclosure requirements about related party transactions in FRS102, which have clearly not been followed. No doubt BDO will have come up with a way to convince themselves that this is acceptable and I'm sure the large fee they get from Man City will have played no part in their thinking. It's odd that they have been auditors since 2007. That's 18 years. I'm sure the audit partner has changed in that time but it is unusual for the audit not to have gone out to tender and a new firms appointed.

O! - I've never been involved in the audit of a professional football club so have no idea if the EFL or Premier League require clubs to submit financial returns to them, be it audited or self-certified, or how much (if any) additional detail is required. If they are, then it is possible to comply with GAAP but not EFL or Premier League requirements but Man City don't appear to have complied with FRS102 from what I have heard.
Swiggy - it's good to be able to answer a question on UC!

The first question Mr P's pub quiz team here got after he joined it was 'Who took the penalty that Dave Beasant saved in the 1988 Cup Final'. Honest!

Keefy, a different issue somewhat. FYI the last audited accounts for MCFC were year ending 30/6/2025, so they're bang on time ...

RK The EU has not had it's accounts signed off for some 13 yrs. You cannot expect little old Man Shitty to comply either.

OI, that was my original but ignored point from earlier today! Althpugh, i suspect they have responsibity to verify that commercial income is correct but i don't know whether they are supposed to check against football rules
12th Oct 2026 16:49:09
[81.lo.gg.ed]
Which begs the obvious question - how do the FA/Prem/EFL verify that their rules are being followed if not by auditors
I bow to the accountants but is it possible to have arrangements that are legally OK and follow accounting standards but break specific fooball related rules? If so would it be a duty of auditors to point that out?

I think their auditors are/were Deloitte and they've just been done for worse than lying to help out City.

Auditors may not be the upstanding pillars of society that it's nice to think they are.
$6m, but my point is that this has been going on for yonks (8 years? ...), so why wasn't this flagged by their auditors?
