Well it is, in the fact that even if he had rejected their contract offer all they had to do was make sure they put it in writing - and they'd have been entitled to a fee for him when he signs for someone else. Because they didn't do that they won't get a penny in compensation, so an admin error could potentially end up with losing them a couple of million quid.

Is that mistake about Gosling really true?

Not that fussed seeing him go, if he does of course. If he wants to go and play for Sunderland or Newcastle let him. We'll miss out on a few quid compo but he won't be missed.

Some City fans are obsessed with United, although I dont think this particular article shows that. Some utd fans seem obsessed with the idea of City fans being obsessed with United.

Campaigning to get the MEN website changed from being red becuase it is the shirt colour MUFC wear is rather obsessive.

Also do city still have blue tomato ketchup?

The purveyors of all good in football?

The model every club should aspire to?

Surely it can't be, it's only disgraceful evil clubs like Real Madrid who borrow money isn't it?

Anyone seen much of Ballotelli at Inter, seems a bidding war might be on the cards but I am not sure I have ever seen him play.

On the few occasions I've seen him he seemed to fit into the "enormously talented but self centred and inconsistent" category comparable to say Adebayor & Berbatov, which is quite strange considering the clubs supposedly in the bidding war.
