Now Derek Zoolander is getting involved.

You may mock but this Toto fella could finally unlock Pogbas potential.

You simply don’t understand how it works.. SKY like the English game make the most money out of United and Liverpool because of the interest they generate around the world.. if they could they would like to have them first and second every year and also both in every cup final.. why do Wimbledon Tennis seed the competition so that the top two players meet in the final.. why is the Champions League seeded it’s all because it lowers the risk of the top players or teams getting knocked out..do you think there would be more interest in a Liverpol v United Champions League final around the world or AEK Athens v Monaco which final would make more money and rise the profile. This is why when City beat United last weekend the news is all about how bad United were rather than giving City credit.
This is how football works and why the United job is the biggest club job in the world, they have most fans... which creates more interest... which makes more money...

And yet it’s bollocks. More money in the English game now than ever before, largely due to TV rights. And who has dominated the last 10 years?

They say they want new owners more than a new manager.

Isn't Mike Ashley available?

He's just taken over at Reading I believe.

Fair point. I’ll keep my gob shut and defer to the oracle with his 40 years out of date views

Bring back the class of 92.
Scholes as the manager.
Giggs as his assistant
Butt, Director of football
What could possibly go wrong.

Scruffy Jim running the football side with the Glazers doing the commercial side.
As I said, what could possibly go wrong.

How rich is golden balls, could he buy the rags.

Posh could be giving head physio

When you see what a spoilt aggressive hair triggered violent little **** Antony is with all the world watching, I have no doubt he kicks fuck out of his partners behind closed doors.

Getting extra players in is definitely the answer.
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.

Well he’s a fucking idiot then

... like I say nobody wants to support a brand that’s not fashionable or successful..

The fans of virtually every club in the football pyramid do this on a weekly basis

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Not in my lifetime yer City fuggin bassas"

I agree with this part, go over to Ticket Exchange pages on here and that is apparent

CL games at home are sometimes the worst.

I am fortunate, i have a season ticket and loyalty points so i can still get tickets whenever i want and pay reasonable prices but it is changing fast

Average single match day tickets in the PL are now at least £70 - that is a disgrace however I saw a piece which said PL demand is higher now than ever for all clubs so people will pay for that once a season, family day out

I know for a fact in the 70's when my dad took me to my first games if it was costing him for one game I bet at least half a weeks wages, there is no way I would be as hooked as i am now because we would simply not have gone

Family of 4 (2 adults / 2 kids) I bet is £220 just to get in the ground.

When I first went to Maine Road - in 1990 - it was £5 to stand on the Kippax.

Yes Man City are the best side in the world I have no doubt about that would go as far as to say for a number of years.
Your right about the media towards United and Liverpool too.. you have to look at the reason why tho.. if they stopped fawning all over them and building up all their victories and players they sign then two of the biggest fanbases on the planet would lose interest because like I say nobody wants to support a brand that’s not fashionable or successful.. this would cost the F.A.. SKY and the English game millions and millions of pounds as they would not get as much money for there product when selling tv rights etc.. that’s why they need to keep the stock of the two biggest cash cows high not to mention not upset there fanbases who create the dosh..

Quick question which would make the powers of football in the country richer..
A Manchester City and Everton Winning the League..or..United or Liverpool winning it.

Here's an answer to your quick question..

The dippers and rags have won ONE title in a decade between them and I've not forgot the fkin huge leg up you got to make sure you got over the line in being awarded that ONE..

The rub is, my team have dominated the league for over a decade and in the process have made 'the powers of football in this Country' fkin £billions..

You and the rags ain't that fkin special..

Hope that answers your question..
