To be honest I don't really have a problem with Miguel on the issue of "will City be too dominant" because I think he's right.

I wrote a while back that after getting in our own way often in the first 10 years of Abu Dhabi ownership, we now have the infrastructure and the upper management have the experience to be the thing that people panicked about in 2008.

Adding Haaland and Messi to this squad will be the final off pitch/on pitch pieces of the puzzle.

The best manager, the best squad by a mile, so many young players, finances only United can compete with, American owners not wanting to invest.

I don't blame any neutral who looks at the current situation and thinks that a United in the 90's 8 out of 11 titles scenario is pretty likely.

My issue is his inability to realise other people are responsible for what's coming - The Glazers, FSG, Kroenke etc. His lack of balance on things like FFP, where he refuses to see anything except Bad for City = Good for Football and the general whineyness with which he approaches anything, incapable of making a solid argument without trying to make snide digs or getting into bitchy spats with City fans online.

I agree, we’re looking like a dynasty. A highly successful (football and financially), intelligent and long term forward looking one.

Despite the obvious cartel, pigmol and media agenda... we have continued on course and raised the bar of the quality and style of football to another level under 3 different managers in a row.

City’s success since the takeover has, due to the actions of the above groups, become almost impossible to emulate - Leicester seem to have just about done it, but not sure on their longevity, but no-one else ever will , till the bollox of the current biased FFP regulations, is changed to allow outside investment again.

its ironic that the cartel has effectively shafted themselves and left City standing alone and serene as top dogs.
The cartel are the only ones to blame for City being ahead of them and stopping anyone else peeking in.

I look forward with hope to the likes of Leicester , West Ham, Everton etc being further competitive and beating City... not because I want City to lose , but because it’s not a sport when it’s not a reasonably level playing field, it’s a disastrous procession - cf 70/80’s with Liverpool and 90/00’s with United. The only people who feel good about that manipulated domination are the fans of those clubs at the time. City fans recognise where and why 44 years of hurt occurred, and that we were very lucky to get outside investment before the cartel door slammed on every other club wanting similar.

tldr: fuck em

They have lots of options open to them to prevent the club's reputation being trashed. Most of them don't require legal action. It is normal for businesses to protect their brand in the face of dishonest journalism. I would start with a formal complaint to the new press complaints watchdog.

I haven't read the article (I refuse to read his "work" because he is a despicable worm) so I'm just going off the statement that City have the "backing" of a state that I'm commenting on. "Backing" is not the same as "ownership" and doesn'e necessarily involve any financial input at all. With so many of our officials so prominent in Abu Dhabi and Emirati political life City might consider that it would be difficult even to convince the press council that "backing" is a clear factual error or falsehood. Just think of the damage such a failure would do and the use Delaney would make of it.
