I mean all the people who fall into that category, and yes, I would include you in that. Where in all your media appearances do you countenance that City might be vindicated and explain why? You dismiss that it's a witch-hunt is conspiracy theory, but are very happy to go along with what City are accused of isn't conspiracy theory.Name one City fan (I assume you mean me but put me to one side for this question), "happy to sell their club down the river in furtherance of their media prospects and bulging wallets."
So name a single person
I saw you in a Football Insider (?) cast a week or so ago, and one of the first things you did was to stop yourself in your tracks and reconsider what you had been going to say. Or more correctly, to invert the clauses of the conditional sentence you had started. So that it would make a bigger impact, you moved a worst case City hypothetical clause, that you had volunteered without prompting, from the end of the sentence to the front. You were giving your interviewer the soundbite he was looking for. You did something similar on Talksport. Similar to Kieran Maguire in a podcast a few days earlier, you used 'wills' rather than 'woulds' to mismatch conceivable 'if' clauses with low likelihood subjunctives.
He may be right or he may be wrong, but the only person I can think of in the mainstream media who has expounded the City case is Martin Samuel, and 'apparently' that's only because his son works for City. Jamie Carragher stood on the pitch at the Etihad and accused City of cheating and Micah Richards took it up the ass. Simon Jordan did similar with his Lee Harvey Oswald James Earl Ray 'Nation State' rants and you let him do it. Paul Dickov's on Sky for 2 minutes and pulls up Kaveh Solhekol. Mike Summerbee didn't get invited back for telling it as it was. Those are the kinds of City pundits we need more of.
