I did use the word maybe, it was a theory as to why he writes what he does. I have no idea why he writes what he writes though.
He writes what he writes because he knows negative + City = clicks and revenue.
Some fucking blue he is!
Sorry mate it’s a fact he is a blue.
The trouble with Conn is before all this FFP he was always against City having new owners, not based on any finance fiddling or human rights but because it changed his view of City.
That of being the underdog, the laughed at club with fans who supported them no matter what. He looks like he took pride in following a failing club as if it was a badge of honour.
I remember it being different, it was a nightmare having to watch the dross we watched.
What he never asked was did all the fans agree with him that it was ok to be shit. No he decided his view was correct.
Fuck him.

OK mate then it’s a bit sad he pretended to be an FC Utd fan to make a few extra quid. I liked reading “Richer than God” btw but he seems to have taken on the mantle of the biggest anti Blue since then. I’m glad Franny Lee shattered his City dreams.

Was he involved in a counter bid? I must have missed that.OK mate then it’s a bit sad he pretended to be an FC Utd fan to make a few extra quid.

More to do with if you write a positive article you get no-one reading it or clicking it thats why anyone who are city supporters at sky or in paper media seems to always edge on the lets give city a kicking.
I've been reading David Conn's work for years. He is one of the best journalists out there and I don't think it's true to say that he is anti-City.
He has a traditional Guardian outlook on the world, but many people have a view of the world distorted through the prism of your political outlook, just as we as City fans view everything through blue tinted glasses. '
Just because someone publishes something which you might regard as bad news, does not mean the writer has a vendetta against City. They maybe correct. They may also just be influenced by the information out there, and it's possible that under strict confidence David Conn may have got this angle from UEFA.

My. concern is this.
Will CAS be totally independent when it comes to City, or will UEFA and their European Royalty(that’s back fired on those fans touting that title for their clubs) cartel clubs put pressure on CAS privately to make an example of City?
Because if City come out of this vindicated and winners, it will embarrass and damage UEFA and their European cartel clubs badly.
Will UEFA and their cartel clubs allow that to happen via the true facts and through CAS?

Can you think of anything positive he's written in the last 10 years or so ?
Without adding something about our owners or financial situation ?
He said when the FFP storm hit after Der Spiegel that it was unlikely that it would lead to a ban. I've been reading his stuff for years. He likes City, but not our owners. A bit like Hattenstone. These people are decent journalists in my opinion because they report things as they see them. As long as you understand where they are coming from, then it's useful.Can you think of anything positive he's written in the last 10 years or so ?

In “Richer than God”, Conn job wrote that he lost some faith with City when he met Franny Lee soon after the takeover, who only appeared to be interested in the money from Sky. Franny had been Conn’s hero as a player.

He is pro FC United. FC United are the total antithesis of everying that it means to be a City fan. You stick by your club through thick and thin.

I think, first & foremost, he is a hater of our owners, then 2nd, someone who would like to be a City fan, but isn't, because he hates them, so hates them even more.
That's my 'understanding' of where these people are coming from.

It's a sports court not just football, so the chance of cartel influence is terribly small. Whatever the CAS decision we go with it.

Thanks.
That’s reassuring.

Doesn't surprise me you read the Guardian and are pro Conn. If UEFA have feed Conn information its because they knew he's put a negative spin on it.
