HaHa
This is a cracker from their "chasing the title thread":
Let’s have it straight. Manchester City are fucking cheats and we’d be pissing the league this season if they hadn’t doped their finances. We’d have also won the league in 2014 and United would have won it in 2012 if they hadn’t took the piss with their finances. You only have to read the Der Spiegel articles to know they are fuckin wronguns.
There’s also a great article written by a journo called Mathew Syed from the Times online last week where he points out all the descrepencies in their sponsorship deals. He quite rightly points out that they are a relatively average sized club with an average sized fan base and no global fan base and no precedent for getting big sponsorship deals but all of a sudden they are getting the biggest deals in the history of sport, not a fuckin chance. If you are Coca Cola, Pepsi, Mac Donald’s or any other of the worlds top brands and you had the chance to give one of the worlds best sponsorship deals to a football club the the names you’d be looking at are, Liverpool, Man U, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, AC and Inter Milan. Manchester City wouldn’t even get a look in.
They’ve got no global fan base, in fact no one outside of Manchester have ever supported Manchester City, in fact judging by the Emptyhad stadium there’s hardly anyone in Manchester who supports them either so why the fuck would the worlds top brands want to sponsor them. The answer to that is they don’t. All their dodgy deals have come from the Middle East with companies that their owners are linked to. For instance their deal with Etihad Airways which Der Spiegel claims is worth 67.5m A year, according to them only 8m gets paid by Etihad and the other 59.5m is paid by city’s owners.
If that’s not financial doping I don’t know what is. According to the news on Friday morning they are getting a two window transfer ban from FIFA this week and they are up on ten charges of financial doping from UEFA so let’s see if Uefa have got the balls to find them guilty and add some serious punishment to the transfer ban they are about to get and see where they are then. I know we haven’t been good enough to win the title in a long time but we are seriously good enough to win one now and it would be fuckin heartbreaking if we got a points tally in the 90’s and didn’t win it cos of them cheating twats. Anyway I still think we’ll win it this season despite all the money they’ve spent and that would make it so much more enjoyable. Rant over.
Someone should point out the following small points, there are many others that can be listed and added to:
Their average attendance has been smaller than Manchester City for more than 10+ years, even with their recent increased capacity.
They have spent more in a calendar year than any other team in the premier league ever.
They have the worlds most expensive defender and 2nd most expensive goalkeeper.
They have spent a billion plus and still no league title in nearly 30 years.
They love to mention their worldwide following and yet the combined social media presence of both clubs sees them less than two million ahead of City.

Their owner is heavily linked to their kit provider both based in Boston.
They are sponsored by Standard Charter, who have been fined 100’s of millions for being one of the worlds leading money launderers of state sponsored terrorism monies.
They were effectively bankrupt before being bailed out by RBS, a 84% government owned bank, a highly contentious decision at the time. State sponsored financial doping one might suggest. (Truly earning their own money).
They were begging to be bailed out by Middle Eastern owners around the time of the above, of course this would of been accepted with open arms by all including the press.
Before recent istree, they were financially doped through their glory years by the Moore’s family.
Their fans appalling behaviour led to all English clubs being banned from European football.
There are many more if anyone wishes to add to the above, it also shouldn’t be forgotten their fanbase as a whole is one huge bunch of self entitled fuckwits.
