Jamie Jackson in The Guardian begging the rags to offer Spurs £200M and giving Kane £400,000 a week so he doesn't join us. Pure desperation

Paradise always made me laugh in the days I used to listen to talkragshite.

Ask Mr P the Manchester football correspondent anything on the rags and he'd babble on forever turning anything into a silk purse, when commenting on us it was err......err.....err....

Wanker.

No! No! It was that clown who calls himself the Terrace Poet. He told a serious programme on Radio 4 that it just came to him about 'Eric the King' whilst in the Bishop Blaize.
It's a bit scary how City fans had travelled back about 30 years and sang it retrospectively to King Colin.
Either that or that twat (Pete?) Is a lying piece of rag shit.

That's the one. The programme was about football chants in a series about words. The were a couple of female linguist types, Boyle and Hunter Davies. Davies must have known Boyle was talking bollocks but l suppose he couldn't really have said anything on air.
No mention of nursery rhymes of course.
 
Well maybe I've got it totally wrong re these negative stories leading up to the final. It's because there are no stories full stop, 48 hours to kick off and the 'ignore city' narrative seems to have taken hold. They're still in bits over the rags dismal effort to even notice the much bigger game is on Saturday night

I didn't hear the programme but from what you have said I will nearly guarantee Davies knew Boyle is a spoofer.

The evolution and transmogrification of nursery rhymes is a serious branch of study amongst folklorists. Characterising Boyle's contributions (eg Knick-knack, being one he has laid claim to inventing, if I am not mistaken) as part of that tradition would have leant them a certain gravitas.

Davies probably wouldn't identify himself as a folklorist but I'll bet my last penny that any man whose first novel was called, "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" will be keenly aware of the place of nursery rhymes in a modern context.

He may have overlooked the connection but given his background and undoubted intelligence, I strongly suspect that it is reasonable to assume that he deliberately chose not to make the connection.

(Incidentally, Davies' late wife, the very talented, Margaret Foster, wrote, "Gregory's Girl").

And he has made £765m back selling a 13% stake to the chinese investors and a 10% stake to silverlake

which means he is only out of pocket for approximately £150m he spent when he purchased the club.

Gotta think that 77% of the city football group is worth considerably more than £150m.

The man has made a killing, while at the same time making us the most successful premier league team over the past 10 years.
I was about to post that the man sure knows how to run a football club, but I am not sure he does, but he knows who does and employs them to do it. Khaldoon, Txiki and Ferran are those people.

As other posters have said the way we are organised is making red history clubs fearful for the future and rightly so.

The agreement for the money invested from CMC was that it was reinvested into Chinese sport/football, so HRH didn’t receive any cash, but will have gained an awful lot of goodwill in China for his other businesses
As for the Silverlake money it’s being reinvested elsewhere within the group


The proceeds from the investment will be used by City Football Group to fund international business growth opportunities and develop further CFG technology and infrastructure assets.
