Topic: Man City - cheating bastards rumbled

[rafathegaffa83]

If I was one of his colleagues who'd lost out in the raffle I'd be fucking fuming with him!

Yep.

[Peabee]

Maybe because I'm not on twitter I haven't seen it, but has he actually done anything beyond the normal in this regard?

He's quite rightly pulled people up over their racist comments and behaviour (if not his team mates..) but I haven't seen him do any community work or set up charitys or stuff. Certainly when you compare his work with what Rashford has done regarding child hunger and poverty, it's night and day.

Other than the foundation he set up, providing support such as university scholarships to disadvantaged youths, teaming up with a mentoring charity as part of his new boot deal, and the fact Rashford has said it was Sterling who inspired him to campaign to end child food poverty? Apart from that, he's done nowt...

[JRed]

Sterling is getting an MBE in the Queen's birthday honours for services to racial equality in sport.

Absolutely astounded by this.
Services to racial equality despite not speaking out when his fans racially abused an opponent, defending his team mate for posting racist jokes online and playing for a human rights abusing regime. I give up, never seen anything so ridiculous.

Perhaps they got confused and thought MBE stood for Massive Bell End

Some who are a celebrity and rich get to throw a proportion to charities and do about 1% effort to get an MBE, others slog their guts out all their life do about 20 million times the effort for people less fortunate, however they get fuck all in return apart from maybe getting told their pension was wiped out due to ‘financial difficulties’.

Not knocking the great things they’ve done, as Hendo has also, but many thousands do so much more and get fuck all recognition. It’s all a bit pathetic and why so many refuse these ‘titles’.

I'm almost entirely disinterested in the/any country's honours process, but stumbled into this one so I'll play Devil's advocate and suggest that perhaps having well-known people 'recognised' is useful from an awareness-raising perspective.

As I said, I'm not on twitter or most other social media (basically held hostage to Facebook by my mum and extended family) and most of my newspaper comes from reading the Guardian and BBC app, with the Athletic for sport, so I might not have seen anything. If he's done all that then great, fair play to him, I retract what I said.

[Mighty_Red]

Oh  I dunno, I would have done the same!

Also wouldn’t the insurance on this kind of car be massive?

I would like to think that I’d give more than 5% to charity though, being as its ‘free money’.  That is stingy as heck.

Seeing the vid of Aguero raffling it, and the big deal made of it, and him handing the keys over only for the guy to stick it on Ebay as quick as he could, it’d been better if Aguero just got someone to sell it off for charity in the first place!

For me, it's a dick move by the guy. It was obviously a nice gesture on Aguero's part as a thank you.

An evoque is pretty much an entry level SUV, a nice car but not horrendous in terms or running costs, insurance etc, and not worth tons (at 5 years old).

If he was giving half to charity I'd understand but Ebay will make more from the sale than the charity. Pure greed imo.

Nothing but greed, the cheeky fucker. You can get the same age/spec car from a dealer for about £16 -17k, so even if it sold at £23k, after the paltry £1100 donation, he's making about £7k more than he would selling private/to a dealer.

Add to that, its not even a proper Range Rover, its a shitty Evoque.

[Alan_X]

Current highest bid is £32k.

Probably safe to say that Aguero might have owned it but I doubt he drove it much given the other cars he owns.

Massive profit for the bloke selling it.

Every pic I ever saw of him, he was either in one of his Ferraris, Lamborghinis or the fancy Range Rover Sport.

£32,100 now and says reserve not met. Greedy fucker got the car for nothing and wants more than £35,000 for it (less a couple of grand to charity).  It's not like he's on poor wages either. One source I found says a kit man at a Premier League club earns around £56k a year.

I have no issues with him selling the car, but using the charity angle and then giving them a shitty 5% is fucking despicable

Stingy bastards at West Ham pay the assistant kitman under £20k.

Hope the reserve isn't met and he can't sell it!

[arthur sarnoff]

It's an old Evoque, it's not worth anything in terms of value.  Aquero's name is the only thing that elevates it.  I have a hard time believing Aguero had it for more than five minutes.

Not sure I'd agree that an Evoque of that age is 'not worth anything.' It's worth at least £20k if not considerably more. That's something in my book at least 

[Tobelius]

Depends who you ask i guess,£20k is 4 times my yearly income nowadays sadly.

[rob1966]

Yeah, it's not worth nothing, at most its worth £22k due to the low miles, you can get one with 40k on for around £17k. The DPF is likely fucked though with only doing 2k a year

[Medellin]

City's opening game against Tottenham away has been moved to the Lamex stadium, Guardiola's side will now play Stevenage in the opener subject to clearance of transfers of Kane, Grealish & Haaland.

"MCFC SERGIO AGUERO" on the sub-title, talk about milking it

Hope it doesn't sell and this greedy fucker is stuck with the car.

[Walshy nMe®]

Someone should bid £100,000 and then just not pay.

I'm sure there are some rules preventing just that. That any offer is legally binding or the like.

On ebay? Doubtful.

Bid - pay - collect - complain - get full refund and keep the car.

[redgriffin73]

Yeah I don't think there is, or there never used to be anyway, there was a spate of people doing it around the Kiev final when people were trying to sell tickets on there.

Have bid for £100 million for Kane according to Sky.

Keeping the league competitive.

People mock the Bundesliga for Bayern hoovering up their rivals star players but yet here we are.  If they get Kane he will join a group of players they've had from their rivals that includes Kyle Walker, Raheem Sterling and their signing from the winners of the 20/21 Premier League (October) John Stones.

At £100m Man City are really in a market of one so it's not like Spurs can really turn it down in favour of selling him to a non-rival.

Levy will be thinking that's 10% of the stadium paid off

No way he goes for 100 million.

That’s 50 million shy of the valuation.

£150m buys you Haaland or Mbappe surely?  You'd be mad to go for Harry Kane in that market who's much older and has ankles made out of crisps.

....
Walker, Stones, Tevez, Sterling, Barry, Lescott, Clichy, Toure, Rodwell, Bony, Santa Cruz, Adebayor, Sinclair, Bridge, Nasri, Mahrez, Bellamy, Delph, Given, Sagna, Milner...

True but money is not an issue for City they have cheated FFP a few times so they can do as they like now.

[Barneylfc∗]

£100m? Didn't Guardiola imply they were skint? Surely he hasn't been telling lies

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I rather they get kane over Haaland or Martinez to be honest.

[Zlen]

Yes, but it's the best move posible for them.
With Englands captain playing for them they'll effectively overtake Manchester Untied as the media darling and wash away their sins forever.

I mean what do they care? Even if they get him they will still go for Haaland and Mbappe next year
