[give it to gordon]

Delaney on 5 live now pushing the agenda that Chelsea issues now are a great opportunity to reset football club ownership in general.

oh how surprising….

He is right .








We need to stop any more American owners. We dont want a closed shop league.
We dont want owners who's country keeps people locked up and never charge on Guantanamo Bay, where the prisoners are touched.
A country where they carry guns freely and shot each other daily.
A country that is very racist partially in the southern bible belt.

Where their country invades other countries they dont agree with.
Where some of their owners use sponsors guilt of money laundering.
Where some owners hack into other clubs pc's.

I’m not so sure it is all that bad, the business model has allowed millions to be spent on players and support various managers and still produce millions for the owners to take out of the club,
It’s not the business model that is wrong it’s the football model that’s fcuked and it will take a lot of fixing

Given the prize money on offer, I’d disagree that the business and football models were as mutually exclusive as you suggest.

Furthermore, no commercial organisation can pontificate about its business model when the place it carries on its trade from is so outdated, dilapidated and uncomfortable for its paying customers - with no meaningful sign of a plan to resolve it, save for a few specious press releases about extending the main stand.

I think it’s fair to say that the Glazers have purposefully exploited the commercial income of the club, but there’s much more to running a successful football business than that. It’s one of a number of core factors, of which success on the pitch, forward planning, return on investment, succession planning and having good security measures in place must also feature. In each of those regards united have been conspicuously lacking in the last decade.

So no, I disagree. Their business model is poor because it palpably fails to exploit the commercial advantages that the club innately enjoys.

Recently signed up to Twitter because for some reason it stopped letting me browse whenever a story was linked on here.
It seems Mackenna will reply to you on there if you mention him wanking his dogs off!!
What fun on a Sunday morning. Think I’ll speak to Panja next.. :-)

Stands to reason; he is a well-known dog wanker.

 

[The perfect fumble]

We've been singing about it for years...there's only one City.

You're right.

Birmingham City or Norwich City fans might refer to their club as City, but wander beyond their fan base and they're simply Birmingham and Norwich.

I've done a bit of travelling in my time, and if you talk football to anyone with a modicum of knowledge about the English game and tell them you support City, there's no confusion, they know you're talking about Manchester City.

 

[chesterbells]

how are these media shills allowed to spew their agenda on a national radio station. :-)

Nedum was on at the same time tbf, but I didn’t hang around to listen to it all. Instead I’ve put some different BBC output on to watch our women vs spurs.

 

[Revolver]

The hypocrisy of Delaney giving an opinion of how football clubs should be owned but refusing to front up about who he works for.

It is pathetic and implies he has an agenda that has nothing to do with fairness.

You can't disagree that the United "business model" has been better for the Glazers than Chelsea's has been, in retrospect, for Abramovich. :) Maybe that is what they meant ....

Completely. He’s the last person who should be given airtime.

Pure poetry that mate.

No doubt, but the fact that a national journalist fails to appreciate that, or worse, conscious ignores it, is reprehensible.

 

[East Level 2]

Ed Woodentop briefed the press on his departure. Asked about the huge transfer spending he said: "We had to keep up with the state owned clubs." Keep up???

Who were they keeping up with before City came along? They were regularly top spenders when they were winning stuff.

Also he should have been asked to publicly identify the state owned clubs

Very well explained, I just wonder if as a business it’s as much about dividends which are often unaffected by on field success. Get a strong business model and performances and results are a bonus rather than necessity. Just a thought

That’s fair comment mate. I guess that following that logic, the more success on the pitch, the bigger the dividends, but as you say that’s a bonus, rather than a necessity.

oh how surprising….

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

English football has never been so popular at home and around the world. It's why a whole new media industry has ballooned to deliver a constant stream of news.
This allows cunts like Delany and Co to have a career in sports journalism.

If he wants a reset then its back to 1 game a week on TV, no 24 hour sports channels, 1 match reporter writing for a respected paper and certainly no room for this generation of know fuck all gobshites who can not be objective!

 

[mat]

Nedum putting Scouse **** on 5live back in his box with his BS narrative comparing Newcastle takeover to City's.

Nedum, being at City during that time politely corrected the city bingo card.

How the fuckety fuck does deloony get on these programmes?
He looks like he needs his hard drive looked at, beady eyed little twat that he is.

 

[stan bowles]

Delaney on 5 live now pushing the agenda that Chelsea issues now are a great opportunity to reset football club ownership in general.

oh how surprising….

Did he go into specific details of how this reset would be achieved or was he just issuing soundbites ? Does he want us to go back to the local scrap metal dealer owning their local club ? Is it back to the days of Swales, Ken Bates, Louis Edwards etc that he advocates ?

Irony of him being paid by the state broadcaster to spout his shite is lost on him.

What’s the point of Twitter if you get banned for calling somebody a ****?? The place is fucking full of them so how are you supposed to not call them one?
Meh! Looks like I’m sticking to BM.
