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

Doesn’t seem to outraged about the millions pumped in illegally via interest free owner loans at Liverpool, Arsenal, Brighton and Everton. The rapture for that is coming in October via our lawyers.

One good season at Brentford. Just a huge gamble again.

Even if their recent signings are decent, they will somehow manage to fuck things up, as the whole club is a shambles built on hype and expectations.

The new management regime can't turn years of piss poor planning and organisation over in a couple of seasons in order to meet the demands of their shallow and pathetic supporters.

They can try using ex-City staff in their vain hopes, but the deep-seated elements of arrogance,unrealistic expectations, and poor management/planning will not change the fragile and braindead core which has been there for so many years.

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.

None of these sad fuckers have the remotest clue what the case is about. If you sat Herbert down in a room and asked him about the charges he'd probably splutter about Abu Dhabi illegally putting money in to City but that would be it.

I saw something the other day about the image rights issue being an attempt to hide expenses. It was actually an attempt to get some additional revenue in, to try and avoid sanctions under FFP.

Not one has questioned the notion of why we'd pay Mancini £1.75m under the table, supposedly to reduce expenses, at a time when we were making £100m losses.

They all seem to think that time-barring is a 'loophole' rather than a well-estalished legal protection.

The innuendo is that multi-billionaire Sheik Mansour isn’t really the owner of City but he is just a figurehead. The real owner is multi-trillion dollar sovereign wealth fund…… but even though he’s just a figurehead he’s funnelling money into the multi-trillion dollar sovereign wealth fund because it’s not got a pot to piss in.
The reason for this alleged plot to buy a club for $250m & turn it into a $2.5b asset is not to build wealth but to sports wash the image of a nation no one gave a flying fuck about.

It’s all really simple….

Herbert's article is full of childish put downs.
Whatever about having a pop at City but now that Puma have committed £100m per year to the club they are now getting the full smacked arse treatment. Mentioning Cucurella's boots to reinforce that their bootwear are shite or that they lost money in the last trading year is like not being invited to a party you wanted to go to but spend your time running down the party itself.
When liverpool get an improved deal with standard chartered will the **** mention anything about money laundering? Like fuck he will. Grade A ****
 
Stone obviously gone to Stockholm to do a unbiased objective report for the BBC on 2 English clubs playing in a friendly

Can’t understand how his output never mentions any role the rags opposition had in a game which was clearly dominated by Leeds if you exclude shots at but ended up nowhere near the goals

And dedicates his report to some no mark 18 year old kid ffs “whisper it quietly ……” bollocks another second coming on its way pmfsl
 
License fee funded Manchester United super fan Simon Stone is at it again:

www.bbc.co.uk

Manchester United 0-0 Leeds: Diego Leon catches eye in friendly draw

Young full-back Diego Leon impresses during Manchester United's 0-0 draw with Leeds in their pre-season friendly.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

The first paragraph. "Whisper it quietly but Manchester United may have found a little gem in young full-back Diego Leon."

They never fucking learn.

Edit: I see @TShed got here before me but I'll leave it here anyway!

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.

Still gives me goosebumps, no win that day, no Aguero moment. I love this club.
