I seem to remember the Newcastle podcast guy "True Geordie" who recently had a rant on how PSR is hamstringing their club, a few years ago came out with an anti City and Arab "dirty money" diatribe a few years ago......

funny how times change!

Yes.

They don't like it now that the shoe is on the other foot.

As a City fan I have to acknowledge that statistically Liverpool are the most successful English team, whilst United currently boast the highest average attendance, (albeit assisted by their stadium also having the biggest capacity)

Whether I need Carragher and Neville to confirm this every fifteen fucking minutes is highly debatable and smacks of idiots running out of material

Those two ran out of material years ago.

That double act of Carragher & Neville only really works if both their respective teams are competing for the same prizes.

If things continue as they are, they'll soon be competing in different leagues.

As it stands Neville is the fall guy who has to endure the smug remarks from Carragher while trying to appear magnanimous.

Yep.

Love him or hate him, he knows how to play a lucrative game.

It's interesting how he's branching out into the Bundesliga. I wounder if knows the rag fan act has had it's day.

I guess that well was always going to dry up eventually.

City exposed the lie of the PL . Founded as a breakaway from the Football League it has only ever had one purpose . Making money for the clubs in it . For years the also rans were so beguiled by the money , razzmatazz and the growth of the market worldwide that the cartel solidified it's position politically . ( I was going to say on the pitch but we have Tottenham in the mix ) .

Once our new owners came along it's been one long, quickly cobbled together, botch job after another, coupled with thinly veiled racist and hysterical rhetoric about our cheating , our lack of history , our shallow fan base , our money bags , our stadium , our terrible playing style etc etc .

I'm interested in European history and it's the sort of propaganda the Catholic Western World employed against heretics , Ottomans and the Jews in the Medieval period . It's very convenient that our owners are Muslims . These prejudices run very deep .

I have no doubt at all that, however much other clubs wake up to the fact that PSR is as anticompetitive as the feudal system , it will still be our fault . Ironically we will now be seen as part of the "top six cartel" who benefit from it , having only obtained our status, of course , by cheating . And this despite the victory in law we achieved , proving it's the PL who are cheats with their APT rules .

In fact , if I could believe for a minute that the PL had any intelligence , maybe the 115 is part of this process . It was always predictable that the wheels would be coming off PSR after the pandemic for some clubs . Why not then set City up in a protracted dispute that will drag out for the duration, while other clubs get caught in the PSR trap and get punished . We all know here that there's no comparison in the cases, but most other fans/ pundits have no idea, so we are again seeing as cheats or dragging our heels when other clubs have suffered. The longer it goes on the better , hence the 115 allegations all to be picked through with a legal tooth comb .
I wouldn't put it past them.

Cracking post that.

It must drive you mad to see these flailing buffoons tripping over themselves to pin the blame on MCFC for their lot in life.

Some of the comparisons you made with the medieval western catholic propaganda, strikes a cord with today's forced narrative of client journalism and shills only to happy to regurgitate the tired old cliches and toxic rhetoric.

The gabal, cartel call them what you like, have created a much bigger problem for themselves than anything they could have possibly envisaged.

Only this afternoon we've heard from the likes of Graham Potter bemoaning the restrictions of PSR and explaining the impact it is having on West Ham's chances of competing in the Premier League.

The cracks are starting to appear, the tension is growing and the natives are getting restless. The elephant in the room is beginning to attract far too much attention and focus.
The real threat has been exposed and its becoming clear to other CEOs across the league that MCFC was simply a patsy for the chosen cartel.

I read that his last accounts showing he was worth £4m. He’s a Forest fan masquerading as a United fanboy for clicks and comments as that is where he can earn cash. Fair fucks to him as long as you don’t take the bait and listen to his drivel.

A bit like Richards masquerading as a City fan when he's a fully paid up gooner ;-)
 
Just been listening to Henry Winter talking about the Isak saga.

He then goes onto talk about Brentford rejecting a £40M bid from Newcastle for Wissa and says: "Liverpool fans have been quite rightly pointing out that when it looks like they're pursuing a player, aren't Newcastle doing exactly the same thing with regards to pursuing or unsettling a player."

Have I missed something?

Where has it been documented that Liverpool FC have done anything remotely underhand in the pursuit of Isak?

I've not read or heard a single bad word uttered about Liverpool's involvement in the Isak debacle. Nothing about forcing the player to agitate for a move.

Obviously Winter has popped onto the RAWK forum to monitor the atmosphere surrounding Isak and his potential move to Liverpool.

He's read a couple of posts from insecure fans worrying that Liverpool will get some bad press for unsettling Isak, and Winter's thought to himself: "I'll nip this in the bud before it picks up any traction"

Exactly. I bet Richards is getting paid a bucket full as well for talking shite.

People digest football differently now mate, much much differently than we do. They can and do support football in a generic sense it's not a passion it's a day out.

Us anachronistic bastards just get in the way.

My hat's off to him.

If he's making that type of income from conning the rag masses that he's one of their own, then he gets my vote.

It's quite a similar set up to the last crop of players that have signed for the rags when you think about it.

That's not like "Two-faced " Henry, the smug and arrogant football journalist ?

That will be 'independent, non-biased, no skin in the game journalist' Henry Winter?
The one who ghost wrote autobiographies for Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard and John Barnes?

You make some good observations, fellow Blue, but I might point out that us 'FOCs' being 'anachronistic' means we are equally likely to be ahead of our times.. (All right, all right.. I'll get me coat..!')

We are getting talked up a lot after Saturday though, which I don’t like. I want them to underestimate us before they know it is too late !

Remember a few years ago on the eve of Spurs at home, when every journalist seemed to go with the same story along the lines of 'If City win this then it's the season over already'.
The final score was 2-2, City's 'winner' ruled out by a very dubious Laporte handball.
