First time I have seen the article which has a huge mistake in it. Herbert claims the PL allegation is that “Abu Dhabi” has pumped in millions of petrol dollars to cover City’s sponsorships. The allegation is that Sheikh Mansour himself funded shortfalls in our sponsor income from the state companies Etihad and Etislat. It is the complete opposite. He doesn’t even know what the case is about.

Exactly Blue, I admit to checking how many games he had actually played for the clowns this morning. The media are so fucking thick nowadays, they don't realise.

Oh they fecking realise and exactly know what they say or print.
Anything to keep the Trafford Tramps relevant.
It's the same with Dipsy Dion Dublin, the Old Trafford legend...
 
Sky football now showing the Gills vs City game at Wembley if anyone has not seen it….

For wider context and research in his article does Herbert reference Etihad floating as a public company which will give the world access to see money coming in and out. If Mansour was committing mass fraud why would his relatives airline do something that could land him in jail?

City usually get top billing... when a former player has been a Naughty Boy.... even if we are fifth on his list of most appearances

I thought about this yesterday when it was reported " ex England player Paul Ince banned for drink driving". Struck me as odd it wasn't ex rag or ex West Ham player which most people associate him with
 


Not sure who handles the YouTube content on the official Mancity page, but can someone please purge the comments section of these stupid "Maansarnault predicted the results" comments. Stupid halfwit idiots and their brain dead attempt to scam viewers into trusting some scammer with a "crystal ball" to predict the outcome of football matches. It's really not a big issue but it's just fucking annoying.

Not wishing to rain on this one, cos I’ve no idea how long such a process might ordinarily take, but it was publicly referred to as ‘planned’ a full 18 months ago and, based on subsequent newspaper updates, I can’t see that it’s progressed much since. Certainly it’s academic now in terms of being of use to City…..

Yup, me too, particularly when contrasting with the news of Wyn Davies' passing in the same week.

I noted the stark difference in the media's treatment of the two stories. Both Wyn Davies and Paul Ince played just over 600 top class league games. Davies played under 3% of those games for The Red Filth, whereas Ince played approximately 34% of his league career for said Filth.

Of course, Wyn's passing was greeted by all and sundry with headlines describing the 'United legend..' whilst news of Ince's driving ban for being over the alcohol limit was met with 'Former England captain..' descriptors.

'Keep 'em relevant.. but no bad news or knocking copy, please, we're United!.. the Legend That Is Manchesh Yoonided..!!'

Clear and obvious. It has been for all of the time I've been on this rock we're all hurtling through space-time on together, ever since The Old Man first took me to Maine Road in 1959. And I have no doubt it'll continue in the same vein for decades to come..
 
Another gem from United's one man PR team at BBC United - Mediacity, namely Sly Stone.

Proven Quality?

I remearked to Mrs Ewing t'other night whilst watching BBC 6 o'clock that we weren't being presented with the news, we were getting a sprinkling of 'speculation'! And that's what too many in the RDAHMeedya think is news!

The Herbert article makes no sense. If "Abu Dhabi" wanted to pump millions into City they could do it via Etislat and Etihad. The (false PL) allegations are that Sheikh Mansour personally made up a shortfall from Etislat and Etihad with his own funding (using a third party). He would not need to do that if we were "state-owned." It is just ridiculous
