Well i got a response, and i think its fair to say that someone has been well and truly put in their place......
"how rude, no ignorance pal"
Why do I get the feeling that he only bothered to read the last paragraph and objected to being referred to as ignorant. But he is, and wilfully so. Our detractors simply don't deal in facts. And that is what we are still up against despite the CAS ruling.Well i got a response, and i think its fair to say that someone has been well and truly put in their place......

Whatever happens with the judgement I think City should do everything they can to ensure that our "irrefutable" evidence gets into the public domain. It would be a disgrace if UEFA are allowed to block publication of the judgement. I agree with your point about Ceferin though. He is a clever operator and knows this boil has to be lanced.
There's the banner!Teabag is a hypocrite as well as a lying racist fat bastard.
Great post PB. I'd just take a slight issue with Gibson's money rebuilding the stadium. I assume you're referring to the post war reconstruction. Neither Gibson nor United paid a penny towards the extensive costs of rubble clearance and rebuilding. Gibson "used his influence" (we all know what that means) to successfully lobby for the costs to come out of public funds in an austerity ridden UK.
"When the Luftwaffe bombed the Old Trafford stadium in 1941, it was again Gibson who was the club's saviour, using his influence to ensure Parliament would provide funding for United." A quote from an old article I saved for any rags who deny this ever happened.
So Old Trafford has twice been funded for ruibuilding/improvements by the state, with tax payers money?United receiving state funding? Never! Actually, didn’t this also happen in 1965 when they received government money to build the cantilever stand in advance of the World Cup?
I wasn't really thinking about football fans, I was thinking more about the twitter "journalists" that attack us on there, you'd hope they would read it, but as @Ric says, probably never.People who use Twitter aren’t the sort of people who’ll read a full report on a court case from another club.
Twitter football fans can barely string a sentence together. They don’t even understand the CAS press release from Monday that’s only just over one page long... or they don’t want to!
The press and social media set the narrative five minutes after the statement of Not Guilty came out and, unfortunately, across most of football’s fans, forever more, we will be known for “getting away with it”.

“We paid for your home
We paid for your hoooome
What a waste of Council Tax
We paid for your home”

Old Trafford, the original Manchester “Council House” stadium!
Just out of curiosity because I don’t know but who paid for Maine road to be built?Plus of course the club didn't pay a penny towards the costs of construction of OT in the first place. That was covered 100% by their first sugar daddy John Henry Davies. And the rags have the brass neck to claim City got a free stadium.
Abu Dhabi oil income is now less than 50% of the total.I love the Sheikh gets bored bit and oil running out. Do you think Sheikh Mansour would leave his personal fortune and the country that he resides in exposed to the oil running out? This guy propped up Barclays Bank over a decade ago and made a killing out of it. He owns the Chrysler building in New York, he has investments in Ferrari. The guys got his own F1 circuit.
You look at the UAE and how it’s grown over the last 40 years where they are now pursuing a knowledge based economy. I don’t think they are worrying about oil suddenly vanishing.
If hypothetically he decided to sell up one day there would be now shortage of people wanting a piece of it. The Chinese would probably look at growing their share as they have a market to sell the club too. There are no certainties in football but if Mansour packed up we suddenly wouldn’t find ourselves in division 2.
This article?Great post PB. I'd just take a slight issue with Gibson's money rebuilding the stadium. I assume you're referring to the post war reconstruction.

Indeed.Plus of course the club didn't pay a penny towards the costs of construction of OT in the first place. That was covered 100% by their first sugar daddy John Henry Davies. And the rags have the brass neck to claim City got a free stadium.
Theoretically it should not matter because our main owner bought into the football sector as he has done in many other sectors expecting competition from all sources ie pre the skewed anti investment FFP rule.I think we have reached that day with the victory at CAS.
We will in my opinion start to dine at the top table.
But what will be our owners reaction if the Saudi takeover becomes reality at Newcastle and they throw 100s of millions to make Newcastle a superpower?
If Newcastle become a threat to us or even push the wages/ going transfer rate up, will our owners be happy? I think not, but time will tell.
They already do thanks to IC leaks, which, of course, were nothing to do with the highly honorable Mr. Parry.I think we would, if we wanted to. I don't think we want the whole world knowing our private affairs.
Just out of curiosity because I don’t know but who paid for Maine road to be built?
Why should we?
We’ve been compliant for years.
Remember all those clubs that supported us when these rules were brought in to target City?......
I don’t like FFP but I only care about City, let someone else fight for a change.
Some rich Arab who lived behind The Fallowfield pub.
We've always been cheating bastards.
Not certain but my mind retains the impression that the last world cup in England allowed OT to be worked on at Government or FA cost?Plus of course the club didn't pay a penny towards the costs of construction of OT in the first place. That was covered 100% by their first sugar daddy John Henry Davies. And the rags have the brass neck to claim City got a free stadium.
