Jim Cassell leading Manchester City's Global Academy Adventure

Captain Cassell, City's youth academy director will leave City for Abu Dhabi and will be representing Manchester City FC on a global youth academy scale.

The media are trying the usual spin and like to think there was a falling out between Jim Cassell aand Mark Hughes twisting and turning it into a conspiracy that Hughes is pushing Cassell out of City.

The media even go on to say Mark Hughes is risking a City fan backlash by thinking their lame attempt to fabricate this conspiracy will convince some City fans that Jim Cassell is being pushed out, ok a few may fall for it but i don't see a witch-hunt protest happening.

Jim Cassell is indeed still an employee at Manchester City and will still have a base in Manchester, The Daily Mail say that coaches Alex Gibson, who led City to a prestigious FA Youth Cup triumph two seasons ago and ex-City captain Paul Power are off to Abu Dhabi too, Cassell will be replaced by Andy Welsh, once coach of Leeds and Man United.

We have Jim Cassell and his coaches to thank for providing us with a large quantity of English talent aswell as a small quantity of non-English talent but the thanks will not stop there as he will be working his magic over-sea's. We have not seen the last of Jim Cassell yet so lets all wish him the best on his well earned adventure and thank him for the service he has already provided.

Man United and Liverpool Trafficking?, are Uefa Hypocrite's?

While Uefa declare concern over English Premier League finances, Man United are apparently trafficking young foreign players from under the noses of their mother clubs.

Yes the mighty Man United, one of the very same clubs that payed over the odds for players for decades, Why did Uefa not show their concerns about finances years ago when Man United were paying the amount of £25+ million for Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney or Dimitar Berbatov?

Why not voice their concerns when Man United sold a player to another club for £80 million?

Why are they not more concerned about Man United and Liverpool trafficking kids under the age of 18 from under the noses of their respected clubs?, they are going straight to the parents by offering them big money to convince they're child to move to United.

Why are Uefa turning a blind eye to Liverpool, Man United, AC Milan & Real Madrid?

I think Uefa are in the process of mounting a war against clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City, but how can they do this?, surely clubs like Man United are not immune from these so called new rules Uefa want to implement?

It seems clubs like Man United are immune as their total revenue covers their means despite the fact they owe hundreds of millions.

So new rules are to be announced to stop clubs from breaking the bank like Man United have done for decades, why did they not stop Man United from doing so, why are they allowing Real Madrid to pay crazy prices like £80 million for one player.

Well they cannot stop us now but they can try to slow us down in the long run, if it was not Manchester City FC then it would probably be one of your clubs outside the top two so why not get behind Manchester City FC, even if you are not a City fan because we are surely fighting for the under-dogs here.

Uefa are undoubtedly late by atleast 34 years so why not target clubs that are in extreme debt in Europe instead of attacking honest clubs who are trying to get somewhere, surely clubs that borrow to maintain their hold on European football should be the punished.

Have Uefa got it all wrong?

Terminator Tal Ben Haim and Fabian Delph Rumor Roundup

Chelsea fans will be all too well aware of Tal Ben Haim after the clash with Petr Cech and we are all to aware of Tal Ben's ability to injure his fellow team-members after smashing into Micah Richards and sidelining him.

Thought to myself was it intentional?, it can not be easy playing second fiddle to someone far younger or maybe it was for the international goal Richards scored against Israel, who know?.

Recently Gareth Barry, Richard Dunne and Robinho apparently had a run in in training with Terminator, they say Barry and Dunne where not as lucky as Robinho but that got me thinking?, these players are key players at City, is this guy trying to ruin City from the inside out?.

Meanwhile Mark Hughes has claimed Manchester City are interested in Leeds United midfielder Fabian Delph (pictured) but stopped short of confirming City had tabled a bid.

Also Kolo Toure's substitution against Barnsley FC is not to be feared, it seems it was a precautionary action, possibly a sprain.

Carlos Tevez is apparently going to be fit for his debut later this week so we can look forward to seeing him in action.

According to the News of the World England defender Joleon Lescott is eager to join the City revolution, 'Lescott has informed Goodison boss David Moyes in four separate meetings of his desire to talk to City boss Mark Hughes. But after successive bids were rejected by the Merseysiders, the England international now recognises the only way to seal a deal is to go public.'

'A formal written transfer request is already being prepared and is likely to be made this week. Everton dismissed a second bid worth £19m for the 26-year-old in midweek.They are adamant they won't negotiate with City until Lescott goes public. Chairman Bill Kenwright is prepared to sit tight for as much as £30m for the defender.'

Will Lescott go public?, David Moyes certainly has done in the Sunday Mirror, says "It is about showing respect - and we are not being shown that"

"I'm sure if I was Mark Hughes with all the money he has I would try to buy the best players."But we'd try to go about it in a different fashion."I would think I would go about my business in the way I have always done."Toffees boss Moyes believes Hughes' transfer activity should be conducted in a more traditional style."

He added, "I've always tried to contact the managers and show respect to them in terms of transfers, and no matter how much money I might have to spend, I would always want to keep that up."It goes back to the managers having a drink together after the game, to the fact managers will still phone each other up when they are looking for a player."That is part of the way it should be done."

Well maybe Hughes does not want to be friends, maybe you should stop throwing your toys out of your pram and phone Hughes, take the initiative so to speak.

Is Joleon Lescott on his way to Manchester City?, Open House at Coms

The Daily Star claim that Manchester City are close to completing the capture of everton's Joleon Lescott for £20 Million as Everton have apparently made a shock bid for Arsenal's Phillipe Senderos.

Everton's David Moyes was adamant centre-back Lescott would not leave, but it seems the availability of Phillipe Senderos has paved the way for a deal to happen.

Arsenal's Arsene Wenger will let the Switzerland international, who spent last season on loan at AC Milan, leave north London.

Meanwhile Manchester City FC are having an Open House on the 6th August 09 at the City of Manchester Stadium, the event is completely free of charge, for full details click the link below.
