Totally agree but this is City.

Haha, exactly... should have added the caveat "IF"

But genuinely, I think us winning the pot most seem to covet, it the thing that scares them the most.
You only have to look at how big the club has grown under CFG's ownership, and how well run we are – then look at what a boost in (plastic) fans our fellow finalists, Chelsea, got after winning the CL - massive increase in shirt sales etc.
The entitlist PL gruesome twosome are absolutely shitting themselves!

Conn at it in The Guardian and he's got a full house and then some in the City Bingo card.

My biggest issue is that he says our owners have pumped £2.5B into the club which is not true. They have spent that amount on The City Football Group by acquiring other teams and building the infrastructure of said teams.

City have obviously been the main benefactor of the money but no one truly knows how much they have spent solely on us.

But tell a lie long enough and people will accept it as truth

lies being told only become dangerous when the viewers, readers or listeners WANT to believe them. and at the moment they do.
calling another club cheats because they are more successful is the modern condition. blaming your failings on others is the name of the game in our society now. sad, but true!

It used to royally piss me off when reading the negative articles about both our club, owners and the attacks on our fan base.....but it has become so clear what the agenda is that I dont even register it any longer to allow myself to get wound up

It is rinse and repeat the same old cliche stories, that I just now laugh them all off. I find it more entertaining that they put out the same old revised articles that it just shows their desperation and jealousy

In fact I would say I revel in it now. for those fellow Blues who still get angered etc, dont. Look past the reaction that they want and just see it for what it is and just laugh at them

Yeah think we've turned a corner now, to a degree mainstream media especially the stuff that kids see is probably not anti-City which is all we ever wanted.

25 straw platters reading Conn's repeat article every week, unsubstantiated bile from the Harris twins, Delaney etc isn't going to dent our Juggernaut.

They're going to end up in a phone box shouting to each other that they hate us more than the other's in there with them......and nobody outside fucking cares what they think but it'll sound nice and loud inside so they'll believe they're still important & relevant.

I wonder why only City’s ownership is regularly forensically analysed by such paragons of objectivity such as Conn. Presumably every other football club in existence has been founded, funded and administered with impeccable ethics. I thank him for telling me it was City’s lawyers who had the uefa ban overturned and that facts and evidence had nothing to do with it.
Obviously his opinion has nothing to do with the fact that currently the history clubs tm. are years behind City

And here we were erroneously thinking that yer paid lawyers a hefty wedge to assemble a few ideas re evidence and due process. Does the cockwomble ever point out that the motley gathering of 'super 'istree clubs' had been in so much of a fuckin' rush to shove us back down the ladder that they forget that 'due process' is all part of the evidence that lawyers will explain in court and to arbitration bodies. Uefa and the usual hyenas royally fucked up and the pillock, like a good few in the RDAHMeedya, can't swallow the outcome.
 
"The breakdown of City’s huge annual commercial revenues – £246m last year – is not published, but if the Abu Dhabi sponsorships were to average £100m for every year of Mansour’s ownership, that would put the investment from the country at £2.6bn"

He misses the point that the Etihad sponsorship alone was broadly and always accepted as near as damn it "fair value" by independent assessors in the 2014 case and, more recently, not challenged by UEFA at CAS that it was a related party.

As an aside, Dubai pumps more money into football through shirt sponsorship than Abu Dhabi. Real Madrid, Arsenal etc etc. But never a mention...

The racist overtones are plain to see in another re-tread article of repetitive shit!
I see his plumbed new depths in blaming City for the demise of Bolton, Wigan and Bury.
What a horrible, boring fucker he is.

League clubs that have gone to the wall (in that incarnation) since 1983 - the end of splitting gate reciepts with away team (ta United), and formation of money disparity PL (ta, United et al):
Newport County
Maidstone United
Aldershot
Scarborough
Halifax Town
Rushden and Diamonds
Chester City
Darlington
Hereford United
Bury
Macclesfield Town

But it's all down to the effect that City got taken over in 2008...

I'm pretty laid back on this transfer but saying his best days are behind him have no basis in reality whatsoever.

Saying he has a glass ankle isnt real either. He's an attractive prospect and I am sure the club want him.

Dealing with Levy and his demands though might make it impossible, better spending that money on Haaland or Mbappe imo, especially when you think what that £120m investment will look like in 3 years time with either Kane/Haaland/Mbappe

I've no issue with those arguments, just the poster you replied to said his best days are behind him when he's coming off his best season to date.
Makes no sense.

Probably already been posted, seeing as it's a week old at this stage. But I only came across (Oo-err) it this morning......



What a bitter begrudger he is.

He is a grade A prick. I don’t mind criticism of the blues but he basically hates us and won’t give us credit no matter what. Arsehole
