BBC Sport - Article on Club Crypto Tokens. Fans spending millions on controversial crypto. So far, across the five major European leagues 24 different clubs have launched or are considering fan tokens, including 8 Premier League sides. However, some clubs, such as Manchester City, also sell digital collectibles known as NFT’s.
Can’t help themselves can they?

I read that. 8 clubs like you said. City mentioned all over the place. Arsenal once. I have no idea who the others are because it was never mentioned . So another negative story that gets the city filter over it.

I've lost count of what city have been made the mascot for:
Youth exploitation, paedophilia in the game, covid rule breaking, FFP,... They always use a picture of city.

Can't see anything wrong with clubs selling digital tokens to fans. In future all countries' currencies will be "crypto" ones in any event. We are preparing our business for the future. I am sure the story was written by someone at the BBC who doesn't have a clue how finance works. The BBC is a dinosaur organisation.

I know virtually nothing about Crypto and even less about these NFT's so perhaps I need educating but according to the article we are 1 of 4 teams that have generated the most sales and 1 of just 2 whose tokens value has dropped the most (70%), given this it's perhaps not surprising that were mentioned all over the place?
If our fans investment has dropped by 70% is it not in our (the fans) interests that the article has been published? I'm all for positive news stories on the club but not when it comes from the pockets of the fans!

Yeah, with a stick of cheap gum in there with about 5 cards, the anticipation bubble of getting ones you hadnt already got burst by getting a full pack of swapsies.

Standing em up against a wall to flick other cards at, with the winner taking all.

Not knowing the names of any refs(except for one or two),
not knowing the names of any club owners(except one or two),
not knowing the names of any journalists,
but best of all...........................unbiased commentators, how things have changed.

BBC website has a full page article on Zidane Iqbal. The claim is he's "Making history", though it took some drilling down to achieve that headline.
The first Asian to play in the Champions League.
Make it the first British born of Asian parents - still no.
Make it the first British born of SOUTH Asian parents - still no
Make it the first British born of South Asian parents to play in the Champions League - still no
Make it the first British Born South Asian Player to play in the Champions League for UNITED - HISTORY IS MADE!!!
