BBC online used a phrase yesterday saying City were: “under Abu Dhabi ownership.” Why don’t they just say owned by Sheikh Mansour and a US investment group Silver Lake. It is just racism.

You mean like Joe Lewis at Spurs who got minimal press coverage after being convicted of insider dealing and transferred ownership into the Lewis Family Trust.I think it's racist merely by coincidence - If a white British tycoon wanted to buy a club and pump his own wealth into it for no financial reward he would also be targeted.
I don't think it's racism exactly, not even that they specifically hate City. It's just that they're so in bed with Liverpool, Arsenal and united, that anything we do has to be painted negatively. Same for anyone else that decides to challenge them.
That got so little coverage I think I first found out about it on BM.You mean like Joe Lewis at Spurs who got minimal press coverage after being convicted of insider dealing and transferred ownership into the Lewis Family Trust.
A family trust means he still owns them and yet the Fit and Proper persons test has never been mentioned.
given that catweazle has receives massive government subsidies and help for his businesses over a number of years then we should also say that the rags are state owned given that it seems to take very little tenuous evidence to suggest it.

If you carry on this ridiculous twisting of facts Danny - you could say the last 4.Just a liar. He knows City are not state-owned but he dehumanises our owner by suggesting he can’t own his own personal wealth. When he says:”We all know what we are talking about,” he is using a racist trope that:” They are all the same aren’t they.” Kelly is a truly disgusting person.

How do you think people like Kelly speak in private about our club with his pals in the media? What conversations happen when Club Directors leak smear stories about City to their pals in the media?I don't think it's racism exactly, not even that they specifically hate City. It's just that they're so in bed with Liverpool, Arsenal and united, that anything we do has to be painted negatively. Same for anyone else that decides to challenge them.
But they don't splash a load of money around and make the other owners look bad though.You mean like Joe Lewis at Spurs who got minimal press coverage after being convicted of insider dealing and transferred ownership into the Lewis Family Trust.

Not sure, but anything done on that channel is meant to antagonise and generate more clicks and revenue. It's all they care about.

That's certainly true. I am not suggesing the entire media is racist for one minute. But there some people within the media sphere and rival Club Directors who have been motivated by malice in their attitude towards our club. There is no doubt about that.Not sure, but anything done on that channel is meant to antagonise and generate more clicks and revenue. It's all they care about.

Maybe if Ineos only received state funding from the uk but they get it from Germany, Belgium & France also….
How do we compete?

See gdm's response, which sums her up. I seem to recall she was the person on the Redmen TV post-match analysis of us beating Liverpool who speculated that the grass was too long. Even the other two participants looked embarrassed at that.She's well qualified for the job to be fair.
But if she was ugly, she wouldn't have got it.
can we call them multi-state owned thenMaybe if Ineos only received state funding from the uk but they get it from Germany, Belgium & France also….

They've had around £1.2bn in UK and EU subsidies over the last few years. That's nearly as much as Sheikh Mansour has invested in City since 2008.given that catweazle has receives massive government subsidies and help for his businesses over a number of years then we should also say that the rags are state owned given that it seems to take very little tenuous evidence to suggest it.

I can’t imagine a single billionaire that doesn’t get offsets or some other benefits.

why let facts get in the way of a good racist rantThey've had around £1.2bn in UK and EU subsidies over the last few years. That's nearly as much as Sheikh Mansour has invested in City since 2008.
