I'm going to write an article on how no one is reading that obsessed Irish dwarf Delaney now.

I think every urinal at Eastlands should have photos of these self serving clickbait red shirt paid twats in them.
Something to aim at.
They could also piss on themselves on the press box bogs.
Like a badge of honour for them? Either that or don’t let them in.

As the two red clubs aren't in it anymore.....

I said last week that he should have been arguing against this years ago, but I do agree with the thrust of the article.

He doesn't mention United or Liverpool (or City), and the overall argument is that it's a bad thing that most of the Champions League billions have gone to just a dozen clubs - which is targeted at a group including Liverpool and United. He even suggests that the Liverpool comeback against Barcelona might be seen by some as a dramatic peak, but it's actually just a symptom of the money being concentrated in the hands of a few teams.

One of his conclusions is something that I think needs to happen if we're ever going to improve competition:
Cost controls must be complemented by redistribution rules.

Essentially he agrees with the argument most of us on here make, that cost controls (FFP/PSR etc), just protect the already wealthy. Unless football finds a way of sharing money, rather than simply giving rich clubs more and more, we are stuck with a more predictable Champions League.

Liverpool lost £49.8 million in 2012-13 on top of £40.5 million for the 10 months before that. They claimed a total of £49.6 million in stadium development costs to offset against the losses. Just £14.6 million for Anfield and laughably £35 million for Stanley Park. The breakdown of that £35 million has never been made public but it seems ridiculously excessive just to pick up litter and cut the grass a few times.

I might be wrong but the vehicle that was in place to build the development for the dippers was I think called Stanley Park or some such and was shut down quickly.
 
Maybe it’s just me? If it is OK. But you tell me which manager and which club this video is leaning towards via the video clips, goals, and the way the video has been edited, considering it supposed to be about the rivalry between both Managers.

ha ha true enough, the prick saying our trophies are meaningless due to the charges, I turned off after that though the irony of him calling our fan base bitter was comedy gold, his voice was pure bitterness.

I hadnt seen Dias's comments before. Love the bloke;

When asked about Alexander-Arnold's comments by BBC Radio Manchester, City defender Ruben Dias said: "I think it's pretty certain between us, between our fans, how much it meant to all of us.

"At the end of the day you can only have certain emotions if you actually win stuff. A Treble is a feeling you can only know how it feels when you actually do it."

He added: "I think in a club like Man City and my previous club [Benfica], our greatness will be shown in a way that these comments don't affect us. We know what we've done, we know what we've conquered, we know what we're going for in what's to come. We don't do it for anyone else, we do it for ourselves.

"Other people's success is deserved for their own achievements. What we focus on is ourselves. That's the way to move forward and that's the way to be big, a big club - not trying to comment on other people's success and trying to make it bigger or smaller depending on how convenient it is for you."
 
The eloquence, grace and humility of Father Ruben.

Those comments put TAA right back in his box. He must have felt a right prick when he read them.
