It's hard to put into words what a terrible, terrible indictment of modern football journalism it is when Simon fucking Jordan is just about the only sensible voice on the landscape about this matter.Henry Winter knows the full story but chooses banter & tribalism. He's supposed to be a step above that.
wont be forgotten.
I, for one, haven't forgotten some of the chants Forest fans were coming out with shortly after our takeover when they beat us 3-0 in the FA Cup at our place - "Owned by a terrorist" and "You've got no history" were those that stood out for me. Fast forward a few years and Forest were bought by Fawaz Mubarak Al-Hasawi. All of a sudden, their forums were full of fans hoping that they could loan some of our players because, well, as their owner was from the Arabian peninsula he's bound to know Mansour isn't he?The only thing I sympathise with Everton for - is sharing a City with those other set of scouse rats! They nailed their true colours to the mast when FFP was introduced. They wanted us stopped, was the main catalyst of support for FFP, along with suppprt from many other clubs. Now they can't play by the rules they contributed to implement, they are squealing!
Same for Forest. Albeit they weren't on the "stop City bandwagon" their fans are always bleating on about oil money, and cheats etc... a watered down version of Liverpool - so they can do one as well! Another team living off the back of European success that was nearly watched in black and white it was that long ago.
I’m more egomaniac than narcissist, mate.@gordondaviesmoustache is many things but I’m not having a Bluemoon legend talked about like this.
They’ve probably bumped into each other at Sat Bae tbf.Fast forward a few years and Forest were bought by Fawaz Mubarak Al-Hasawi.

These people walk among us.. stay vigilant, stay safe.. as Sergeant Esterhaus would put it, 'Let's be careful out there..' (!!)I dont get how people don't realise that accusing someone of 115 counts of lack of transparency in accounting as well as whatever else isn't some open and shut thing that gets resolved in a week.
This isn't saying we're innocent or guilty. But its a huge process.
Are we really that mentally bankrupt to the point where short attention spans don't understand how legal trials work?
Really stunning watching the narrative around this unfold.

Maybe this was the plan all along? The cartel wants the super league and no better way to move that along than destroying the premier league. Clever game by the owners of United and Liverpool. Threaten to sell then cry about not being able to compete with state clubs all the while working towards the super league gravy train to mimic American sports then when that fails back to the premier with open arms.Agree 100 per cent. Perhaps Masters is even more stupid than anyone thought was possible. He and the PL board started off with the intention of trying to avoid an independent regulator but the way they have handled the City allegations, and now Everton and Forest, is the biggest possible advert for independent regulation. English football is a multi billion pund industry and the PL leaders are not qualified for the role they have been given.
Pretty much I'm afraid. And I truly believe that by the way, I despair of human nature nowadays....

odd isnt it, im not sure how they think is getting punished mitigates their own wrong doingThe more fans of Everton and Forest scream about us being punished the quicker my sympathy for their predicament evaporates. Get your own house in fucking order first you thick fuckers! As for the rest jumping on the bandwagon I hope they're next.
the tiktok , twitter, netflix generation unfortunately dont understand anything that cant be explained within 30 seconds and as a generation if they dont understand it instead of educate themselves they just shout loudly about the tiny bit they do and then seek to blame anyone that questions their lack of knowledge as a 'boomer' or a 'hater'Pretty much I'm afraid. And I truly believe that by the way, I despair of human nature nowadays.
Nope.I wouldn’t wish anything serious on the majority of people but this prick hope he gets terminal news fuck the cnut ..
Yes - some can't watch cricket matches and snooker.I dont get how people don't realise that accusing someone of 115 counts of lack of transparency in accounting as well as whatever else isn't some open and shut thing that gets resolved in a week.
