Not sure how long he has left in his contract but if those are the teams trying to sign him, I think you can double that number.

He has a 30 million relegation release clause

He will be gone in the summer

20 million he cost them 5 year deal so thats a good return for a relegated side can invest

Quick add city have a 40 million buy back cause so if it was 60 million they would buy him back and sell him

Here’s a question…….should a club allow a season ticket be passed on to another family member? Or, should it go to the next person on the waiting list ? Ie, Old boy passes away, been going for 40 years, grand daughter (not on the waiting list) who goes every now and then , decides she wants to take the ticket on, but the club want to pass the ticket to the next person on the waiting list…..opinions please

Next on the waiting list.

He's made things happen for himself at a poor Ipswich, he just looks lively can create space and gets shots away from anywhere. That was exactly what Kane was like when he came through. I think City have a buy back clause but hopefully he goes somewhere else. For £30m I think he'll be able to pick his club. He would fit in well at Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Utd!

I think he'd possibly get more game time at United but, I guess, it depends on the lure of European football.
He may well get none of that at United.

Next on the waiting list.

That’s the general consensus.

To add the guy in this situation is a friend of a friend on a group chat. He’s been going with his dad for 40 years and wants the ticket to go to his daughter. I do feel for him.

Being ex city will he want to go to united? Will he see the positives the new manager could bring or the negatives of expectations of playing for united and focus on going to another club where expectations are lower

In my eyes it should pass to a family member first, my father in law had a season ticket at Everton from 1963 till he passed away in 2020,it is now in his grandsons name

As he is from Winchester and spent more years at Derby then i suspect he won’t mind

He will go the team that gives him the most money and best chance of silverware

Sorry Phil, couldn't help it as this comment stuck in my mind at the time as I was quite impressed with him...

"Delap likes to throw himself about making a meal of any tackle"

Sounds like a perfect fit for LiVARPool,imagine the penalties he’d win

Should be allowed to be passed if a younger person etc

First I thought it should go to next on list.
But after reading this I think I’ve changed my mind

I don't think players really care much about this sort of stuff when tens of thousands of pounds a week are waved in front of their eyes.

Well given the choice i suspect he would go Liverpool or arsenal over united considering their showings recently, the choice has to be arsenal, they have no striker so he would be first choice and they challenge for titles

 

[clubchamp98]

No, but there are loads more floodlit AstroTurf pitches now! Those round here seem really busy and lots of junior clubs too.

I don't know numbers, but seems to be lots playing, and this is rugby country

They cost money to play though.
You can play in the park for nothing.
If the council can be bothered to cut the grass. ( big problem here,)

One parent cut a small patch for the kids to play once and was threatened by the council with legal action.

Don't cost that much, we used to rent a pitch on a Thursday night. £2 each a week

I get that but I’m thinking kids played every day all day when I was young local park no parental involvement.
You would go home for lunch and the game continued.
I just joined back in again after eating.

Them days are over I know but it’s why we lack players imo.
But talking to a few lads it’s very expensive now to rent a pitch.( here anyway)

Organised league games , or just jumpers for goalposts.?
I’m more talking about just kids in the park.

For me kids learn the skills better when just playing with their mates in the park.

I still go and watch the kids games on a Sunday am.
Some are very good.
But imho kids play better when they havnt got parents telling them to do the opposite of what the manager has told them to do.

Seen some stupid arguments you would not belive!

Mix of both. We used to meet up Saturday mornings for jumpers for goal posts but kept having to move parks because more and more Teams turned up and kicked us off
