Right, have something to get off my chest
All we are 'guilty' of is having an owner wanting to invest his own equity in to a business he owns. From the offset we have seen rules that were originally intended to alleviate debt problems in European football, used as a tool to clip the wings of ambitious owners wanting to compete with the elite. Every step of the way these rules have changed in line with our growth, simultaneously ensuring there will never be another like us.
If we have been 'creative' to allow our owner to spend his own money (not a crime) to better his asset, so be it. I'd rather we had done this than tow the line to the bent bastards who wanted us ruined - like Newcastle are having to now (watch Isak be cherry picked by one of them in the next year). The sport is about competing, it's the way taht clubs like Real, Bayern, Barca, United, Liverpool, Milan etc etc originally joined the top table, they just happend to be fortunate to be there when the TV money started rolling in.
We as a club, have never caused international outrage by killing fans of the opposition in a European Cup Final, engineered the break up of the old Football League to create the PL, or again with the Super League in 2021 for financial gain. We've never met in restaurants in New York to decide how we can prevent other clubs competing with us, & finally, we've always be more than happy to let our best players & personal join our rivals if they so wish, as we trust our own model. A model incidentally that everyone of the bent fuckers now try to imitate.
So whenever you read articles that live off the clicks of those that demand our downfall, or indeed have said people give you shit for supporting City - remind them of the above.
