I thought to exploit some sort of loop hole Melbourne City had paid Villa $5million and New York City had paid him a couple of hundred k?
Sucks if its true, really crippling your club by removing their marquee.
I thought the point of buying Heart was to extend City's brand and fan base - surely shenanigans like this and playing third fiddle is going to alienate the people who you want to convert to city fans
It seems really weird that if Melbourne pay the majority of his wages, and he stays for 4 games. That means villa is getting 1.25 million a game!
Yep but it circumvents whatever they are trying to circumvent in the US.
