People here thinking City are getting punished. Meanwhile, their players signing decade contracts. 
There won't be any punishment for them.

Haaland at City | Signs new 9.5 year contract
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
It seems fishy as hell and I wonder what they are offering him to commit to that.
9.5 year contract? Is that the longest player contract ever? Gotta be pretty close if not....
Wasn't it revealed that he's on a crazy wage?
Wonder if his new contract has a relegation clause in it.
What the fecking feck
No space for him at Real
Barcelona
Already been in the Bundesliga, and Kane is at Bayern
Serie A and Ligue 1 are a step down from the PL
And City wouldn't sell him to any other PL club, and would he want to jump ship to another rival in the league?
Only surprised at the contract length to be honest.

Exactly. Staying one or two years more was always likely due tot he circumstances you list, but this long is surprising.No space for him at Real

But it has to be said: yes he was in the Bundesliga. But he did never win the league nor individual awards, only the Cup. So there is a reason why he could have had interest in replacing Kane some day.
Yeah feck that. This bunch are as blatant as it comes.
This will backfire massively.
Rolls eyes…
Yeah just a 9.5 year contract nothing to see here
Starting to think the charges are going to do absolutely feck all

Ridiculous. From Haaland's perspective I understand as it is probably a massive amount of guaranteed cash, but only a club with zero financial concern would offer a player a near decade long contract. City are showing the world that their unlimited money cheat code is alive and well.
9.5 years is insane. His salary must be absurd.
Lewandowski existed….
City are getting away with things aren't they
Heh, true that

When we all think City are in financial trouble they pull a Palpatine on us.
Agreed.
No, Lewandowski won it 5 times in a row I think.
According to bluemoon/men the wages are about 900k/week and ~46 mio/year.
No doubt they'll say it's all above board and totally legitimate, too.
People who still think they are getting any serious punishment really are deluded. They can do whatever they want and they will continue to do so.
This could equally be seen as them trying to secure everything down before the hurricane hits.
You mean, to ensure he can't leave if they get relegated?
Exactly.
Be terrible if he got a bad injury.
Hmmmm. You may have a point here.
I don't think there's more than a 1% chance that they actually get tossed out of the pl. But if they do I can see them loaning him out for a year or two until they're back.
I thought that the premier league and uefa put a stop to contracts longer than 5 years?
Surely he and his agent wouldn't be that stupid not to include a buyout clause should they get punished.
However, they probably get away with a fine and a mild points deduction at best.

I thought you were able to give long contracts but the fees would be limited to 5 years on accounts rather than whatever length that contract was.
Nope. You could give Antony a 25 year contract today if you wanted to.
9.5 years is a shrew business
Wages for superstar only goes up. 350k this year is peanuts (relatively speaking) in the 6th year and beyond.
Plus contracts are just a piece of paper. If one party feels it's time they can still move on. It's not written in blood.
Halaand is one of the best striker in the world and tying him up for the next 9 years is a good deal. If he's injured there's insurance I'm sure. If he turns to shit he can still be sold, and they can make him so uncomfortable he'll move on.
They're not dumb.
From Halaand point of view he's gonna be playing for the foreseeable future, he's young and should Madrid comes knocking contract is easy to break either amicably or going AWOL.
Plus he just won a treble. Like it or hate it the only club worth upgrading can be counted with 1 hand and 5 fingers

What a morally worthless individual
That’s Shearer’s goal scoring record gone then.
I bet he's on 150 a week for 9.5 years with a back hander of property and shares in some company in the UAE.
Good thing Woodward isn't still here!
City and his agent must be very confidentCity are getting away with things aren't they
