Ratboy saying he’s “not against” them giving Carrick the job permanently.

…it’s happening again, another raggy PE teacher off the production line wins a couple of games and the giddiness takes over.

Who gives two fucks if he's 'not against' them giving Car-Wreck the job full time? What the fuck has it got to do with a former player what manager the club appoints, and why would the media take up the story to begin with? It beggars belief that this jumped up, rodent-faced little **** with an inferiority complex the same size as New Zealand thinks he has some say over how the club is run. Would it make the news if Nicky Weaver was to come out and say he thinks Pep is doing a great job? Would it fuck. The media would say, "We couldn't care less what you think, mate. You're no longer relevant. The Man City of the Gillingham play-off is different to its 2026 counterpart."

This is a club who seem incapable of looking forward: of planning for their future, of being a part of the 21st century. You cannot put a football-related programme on the TV without one or more former rags giving their two penn'orth about who should play, who shouldn't play, who should manage the team, who they should sign, FFS!
Most of these gobshites played for the club fucking 30 years ago: different team, different culture. Why should the current crop of players be held to account by that bloated caricature of himself, Shrek? Why should Ratboy 2 heed advice from people like the Ginger Pig or fucking Camel Gob? We even had GNIAC lecturing Ruben Amorim recently on how to manage a football team!! Yes, THAT useless **** whose managerial career was about as successful as an episode of Play School fronted by Jeffrey Epstein would be.

GNIAC wouldn't know how to tie his own shoelaces if the Pisscan wasn't there to tell him how.

City don't publish half-year accounts, and nor do we publish a cashflow statement, so it's not possible to do a direct comparison. But in the year to 2025 (which wasn't our best financially) we recorded an operating profit of £2m and a pre-tax loss of £10m. We don't have any borrowings.

Colin do you have time to plot their debt from a year before the Glazers took over like a walk up Everest - appreciate they have probably not reached the debt summit yet? Thanks

It's the sort of spin that would make Goebbels' jaw drop.
  • They made an operating profit of £32.5m but that excludes net finance costs of £35.4m.
  • They actually made a pre-tax LOSS of £2.5m over the first 6 months of this FY.
  • Their borrowings have gone up by nearly £150m in 6 months.
  • Their "overdraft" limit is £350m and at December that's at £295m, £130m higher than it was at the year-end.
  • That £130m higher borrowing was used to pay the net £135m of transfer fees they owed.
They're fucking skint.

BUT ! They'll find a way, the dodgy cnuts always do.
 
I was sat outside a bar here in Canps Bay,Cape Town on Tuesday night.
A “looky-looky in the obligatory Rag shirt comes to me so I say to him “You will sell feck all with that Rag on”
Following night he turns up minus the Rag. Just as I am about to say well done a voice pipes up behind me “ I’m glad you took my advice and changed that bloody Rag you were wearing night”
I turned around and said “OI they were my lines you’ve just nicked “
Glad to say two City fans then put the world to rights over a beer.
Our work reaches far and wide.

Was there about 18 years ago doing exactly the same.
 
Their results have improved, much better position than last year, they look a bit more organised, but my god are they shit. The results and late goals are papering over cracks.
I watched their game against Fulham and Everton, the quality was shocking. But the results and puff piece media articles whipping the fans up into a mega false sense of illusion.
I can't wait for mainoo to put pen to paper and sign a 300k a week contract. That amad kid will follow suit and they will become God's gift to football in their own heads. Any new signing will demand high wages, united will brag they sign the best because they are the biggest club blah blah blah. Then 6 months time they are scratching there heads when clubs work out how to play against their hoof ball with a load of players on mega bucks producing shit and talking about what manager can come in to replace Carrick. And it will be all ickle city's fault who no one cares about!
That's the cycle they fall in time and time again.
 
When Ole was at the wheel and they had that early run and he got the job I actually thought they would be round that corner given on paper they had a pretty decent number of “names” in the squad but was oblivious as was Ole I guess how caustic the attitudes were and probably the fruit of his Labour was born out of players playing for themselves and managing to get over the line for a few weeks.
The beauty of Carwrecks reign is its exactly a mirror of Ole except this squad is actually a bag of shite and the bounce this time is a combination of bang average players being bigged up (credit to Carwreck and his coaches) and arguably playing a bit more as a team with structure but playing at a unsustainable level I have no doubt in my mind that they will win no more than half their remaining games and will qualify for Europe possibly CL due to other teams around them dropping points
Carwreck gets the job they will have a disaster of a close season in the transfer market and sadly our campaign will once again fail as Carwreck is fucked off before next Christmas

And while I’m glaring into my crystals I also believe we are on the brink of tearing the EPL apart next season I think this season anything we win will be partly as a consequence of circumstances other teams failings etc but next season I can see being up there with the centurions /treble teams
