Would be interested to understand what part of it constituted a breach of contract? 
Is it written into a player contract that they can’t speak negatively about the manager, or about ex players, or about club infrastructure? 
Particularly when that manager or ex players have been publically critical of him already. 

Most employment contracts include clauses about not doing something to damage the image of your employer.

£200m a season, Sky News speculates. What the f### do you do with that sort of money?

You'd be able to drive into Bristol and not worry about driving in a bus lane, over a bridge your not supposed to go over, through the CAZ, illegally park and whip in Harvey nicks!

Sure Jim Ratcliffe will be back in with an offer.  Shame, as I was hoping he may fancy buying City!

Wouldn't resolve FFP or alter the position. We would be under the same spending limits as we are right now. New investment or ownership doesn't equate to fresh revenue etc.

Okay maybe a couple of million here and there, new sponsors if fair value but that aside, fundamentally if we were on track to lose say a £38m in a 3 year position to this year under SL, the same would apply under Ratcliffe or whoever.

Debt writeoffs wouldn't count towards revenue for FFP purposes or to eat into losses, profit on disposal of fixed assets is a non starter. EFL can apply such restrictions as they see fit on a new owner to ensure compliance with regulations so this season very little changes.

3.1.1 (b) plus 3.2, 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 of the Owners and Directors Test cover this quite well. Granted it doesn't explicitly state the debt write off or cancellation idea but I'm sure that wouldn't fly- QPR v EFL 2014-2018.

The simple answer is that you simply refuse to accept it for P&S returns so it negates it even if the Balance Sheet a lot healthier.

Potential for more free cash on hand? Absolutely. More into the academy etc? Of course! Monetarily however not much would change short and perhaps medium term.

Credit to their manager for dropping him too.

Better q might be would no Ronaldo starting liberate Portugal a bit? It's not been Ronaldo plus 10 for a few years now but they have quite a strong generation. Interesting to see how they set up differently etc.

On a side note, Santos is considered to be a fairly negative manager or at least excessively cautious by a reasonable number of Portugal fans.

He just had to walk out by himself didn't he! Then gets the staring role on the bench whilst all the players on the pitch are singing.

How many times will he be pictured whilst not playing?

And then the young striker that replaced him pops up with the first goal ? priceless !
