  • Then again, what were City’s players and staff doing with that much money?? They were the visiting team and probably were heading back to Manchester directly after the match; I’m not sure why they were carrying any considerable amount of money in the first place.

    The card school on the bus home of course! You must have heard all the idiot stories about footballers & their cash!
  • 3-4 K isn't that much (if that's the total sum stolen from everyone) considering what these fellows make in a week and depending how many players were robbed it's not that much per person.

  • Well you know, players have to have that spare 3k around incase they see a nice car or something. Perhpas a new diamond watch...
