@ThatAnfieldBuzz One of City's biggest defence would be to show who the other sponsorship bidders were in 2010. If another sponsor bid £39M a season then the Etihad bid would be "realistic". However rumour has it a local sausage factory was the 2nd highest at £500K 🤣

@Teamgyokeres Wasn't it Islington council who insisted on 60 000 capacity? Due to safety concerns. So why would the council now let them build up to 80 000 or higher?
@MCFC_Hugo Most football fans don't care about the rejuvenation of East Manchester! Or other projects! They care about their teams & fair play. So try harder.
@City_Xtra You've never told us who the other bidders for naming rights were. Rumour has it that the 2nd highest was a butchers who offered £1M per year. So why would Etihad airlines outbid that by nearly £40 M a year? In 2009 City were a yo-yo club.
