You are forgiving him far too muchWas going to post something similar myself. He dislikes the cynicism and hypocrisy of the modern game and has written extensively about the crooks and chancers who run the game and clubs, as well as the supine and sometimes ccorrupt authorities that run it.
Without him there is so much we wouldn't now about many of the terrible owners that exist. If he has a problem with City, it's not because he's anti-City but because he's being consistent in his attitudes. I'm not sure why he tok up with FCUM though. I know he's been quite friendly with Andy Walsh and I think he's left himself open to a charge of backing the wrong horse there. I've met Andy a couple of times, the last with David as it happens, and he's an engaging character but I think the evidence suggests he took FCUM for a bit of a ride & that David has the blinkers on a bit over that.

Deep down he's a filthy rag, jealously attacking Pep and his achievements at City.
Writing stories to suit his own perceived moral high ground, while trying to undermine Pep for crapping all over the miserable one.

I am sure David is sharpening his pencil for next month's 35th anniversary of the Heysel killings. I've not seen Conn or the WhattsApp Group cover Heysel but maybe he has.

No, he is still putting the finishing touches to the expose on his new best mates at the Moston Rag Socks and their near ruination of the club. Must be 3 years ago now. Has to be some huge piece of work to not have it completed yet......I am sure David is sharpening his pencil for next month's 35th anniversary of the Heysel killings.

Conn is just catering to his core Guardian audience wrt our club and the rest of his highly selective ramblings. His job is get as many clicks as possible and his offerings are merely the result of that overriding imperative.
He is as much a serious journalist as DeLooney is.

Yes, I am waiting for that expose on how the "most democratic Club" in football struggled to agree the soup menu!
Three Sheffield Wednesday players banned for life in the sixties..It’s always been bent ffs!
From a Newcastle Utd. Fan website:
https://www.themag.co.uk/2020/04/manchester-united-funded-by-saudi-arabia
Manchester United funded by Saudi Arabia in part for 12 years with deals – Where’s the outrage?
Manchester United and Newcastle United
Two clubs separated by success, on and off the pitch.
Also apparently, very much separated by how the media and other outside parties treat them.
With the moral outrage pouring out in the direction of Newcastle United and especially towards the fans, due to the imminent Saudi Arabian takeover, how do you explain these Manchester United deals below???
The Saudi Arabian regime have been helping to fund Manchester United since 2008, twelve years!
Their deal with state owned Saudi Telecom is the ‘longest running of all our commercial partners’ this Manchester United official statement says below in 2017. That comment made as Man Utd launched another revenue stream from the Saudi regime, ‘the General Sports Authority of Saudi Arabia’ in partnership with Manchester United.
These deals seeing a Premier League club profit by many tens of millions of pounds, in return for these state run / owned Saudi enterprises being able to have the Manchester United brand splashed all over them, helping to legitimise the regime.
I have never seen a single campaign or article demonising Manchester United or their fans, for taking Saudi money to help fund their club.
I have even searched the internet for this article and still can’t find anything…nobody speaking out in the UK media demanding that Manchester United stop selling their souls in return for Saudi cash.
Imagine that, 12 years journalists have had to do so, yet never mounted one outraged campaign naming and shaming the Old Trafford club…
Manchester United official site – 19 October 2017:
Strategic partnership will see the club help Saudi Arabia’s General Sports Authority to create a sustainable and thriving football sector Manchester United and the General Sports Authority of Saudi Arabia have today agreed a Memorandum of Understanding, which will see the 20-time English League champions help the GSA develop its football industry, as part of its 2030 Vision.
The new strategic partnership will involve United lending its business and sporting expertise to clubs, sporting authorities and individuals in Saudi Arabia.
The partnership forms part of Saudi Vision 2030; the plan to diversify the Saudi economy and to develop its public sectors, announced last year by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
Group managing director, Richard Arnold, said:
“The club has a long-standing relationship with Saudi Arabia and has over five million passionate fans in the region. Our partnership with Saudi Telecom is the longest running of all our commercial partners. Having the chance to help shape the football industry in the Kingdom is a great honour and it is something where we believe we can make a big difference.”
Bloody amazing!!!! Print that Master Conn
