Yes, for prolonged periods. And also Nepal, Thailand, Singapore, China, and Hong Kong, where I worked for a while. My opinion remains as it was 10 minutes ago. The dippers have a global support that dwarfs ours

great, it seems global is asia ? right where I live in south america you will see lots of shirts, the most popular prem shirts are, chelsea city united, rare spottings of arsenal shirts, and years ago I swear I once saw a spuds shirt, liverpool are very rarely or never seen. so if asia is global? then you are correct.......

His Indian counterpart, Peshwari, is even worse.

I quite like Peshwari, it’s that other one I don’t like, she work’s for the Coriander, I think her name is Garlic Ann.

Then if you did, then you should have noted that United don't have the support of half the subcontinent, because they most certainly don't. Please don't peddle that myth and besmirch the area.

And in other news... Yeah of course Liverpool have a global fan base.... Sheesh.

I see we’re in “take everything absolutely literally” mode are we? No, very obviously ‘half the sub-continent’ doesn’t support Liverpool (NB: I didn’t mention United). I was just making the point that they (Liverpool - for the avoidance of further confusion) are an elite level club in terms of global support, up there with United, Madrid and Barca, and that City, whilst improving, are still a very long way behind, and that I’ll back my own eyes rather than speculatively sourced Social Media stats. I had no idea I was being so controversial. Sheesh!

Your own eyes can obviously only ever deliver a relatively tiny sample size. Social media stats are fairly easy to quantify accurately I would've thought and according to them Liverpool are considerably less elite than we are

I refuse to accept the decision of any panel that includes a judge called Manfred Nan.

Sounds like a shit tribute band.

Cool, if that’s the case, great news. All I know is that in the places I’ve spent time (including the two most populated countries on Earth by a large margin) the complete reverse has been true, and when we one day go on tour to China, Australia and the USA and the grounds are full of sky blue shirts rather than red ones, I’ll know we’ve really caught them up

And your own sources are reliable. Hm. Good luck with that one.

If you're going to peddle lazy, inaccurate stereotypes about the subcontinent, then, yes, controversial. If someone said half the people of Jewish faith or origins upported Tottenham they'd be rightly called out. Now take yer medicine and stop acting like a mardy kid. Good 'eavens!

I’m not going to argue any further. If you genuinely believe we now have bigger global support than Liverpool, good luck to you

Take my medicine. LOL. Sanctimonious idiot

Does anyone else just hanker for the days when all we had to defend was the fact we had three stars above our eagle for 'decorative' reasons?

For the last time: one star for every minute United thought they were champions.

Using pre season tour games as a guide one can't help notice if it's the rags or the dippers playing in the US, Asia or Australia the stadiums are dominated with rag and dipper shirts.
We're just not at that level of global support.....yet.

Probably depends how mature the region is you are looking at. China most populous region in the world weren't looking at Western football in Shankly and Busby eras.

Who are these resignations? Is this genuine? Potentially significant? I might listen if no one else has

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

There's a shocker of an article by Matt Slater, who broke the speculation about UEFA not banning us, in The Athletic. City's lawyers should be all over it as he's basically saying it's been proven that Sheikh Mansour directly funded us, in contravention of the FFP rules.

Unfortunately for him, I've a few followers on Twitter among the City executive team so I've brought it to their attention.

If true this is a pretty major thing, people dont resign from position like this because they have done a good job, it also sounds like more than one person going.

With the leaked news about no ban or fine it makes me think that Uefa have fuckèd up in a big way.

Fingers crossed.

Seems people can say anything against City these days with no consequence. If he’s had a go directly at our owner without grounds you would think City would at least request a written retraction and apology.

Again, The Athletic sending out contradictory messages.

If this prick is saying our owner has been found guilty of funding City directly, then it should also go without saying that them reporting Uefa are not considering a ban is absolute horseshit.

They are tying themselves in knots.

I'm sure City can take them to the cleaners.
