A bit disappointed in the chairman and The Sheikh

[Sky Blue]

Owners wearing their clubs shirt to matches doesnt show any commitment.
Mike Ashley got newcastle relegated and was in trouble with the fans as he was just wearing the shirt for fun.
Sulaiman al-Fahim made portsmouth bankrupt.
With the owners o chairman bein there is good enough support, they dont need to wear the shirt.

LOL...Clarkiesville.

It was a great win at the weekend and, as I posted earlier, I feel really confident that we will be in the champions league next year.

However, some comments on Talksport earlier have brought me down to earth a bit. Mike Parry made the point that there are no "good" owners in the premier league any more and he's right if I'm brutally honest.

Ok, so our guy has a few quid. And his Chairman seems pretty hands-on to a point. But when was the last time you saw one of them wearing a City shirt?

Newcastle are back. And Mike Ashley is back. Be honest, wouldn't you be proud if our chairman was like this every Saturday in the director's box?

He might be fat, but that's a lad who loves his club. I'd say you could trust him to stand his ground when the Mackens come steaming in too. Fair play to Newcastle.

There are other examples of chairmen who show passion. You could sense the people of Porstmouth getting behind their Shiekh early this season. It's a pity it didn't work out for them and a pity he never stayed at City. I'd love to see a City chairman or owner displaying that sort of commitment:

As fans we can identify with this.

What do we get at City? A few quid as a sweetener, a few decent players, a new stadium and this...

Dull. Uninspiring. He isn't even wearing a classic 80s City pin badge.

And the Shiekh hardly even bloody comes.

Why this post? I just think that the top men at our club are letting us down as fans. Football is about more than money.

are you on some sort of drug, its called being proffesional...

I despair at times on here.

Dave's not technically WUMMING as at the heart of his highly ironic post is the valid point that we have a great Chairman and owner who go about their jobs with the minimum of fuss but with the maximum of effect.

It's like dealing with a forum full of American schoolkids. I-R-O-N-Y.

*I know this doesn't apply to all who've posted on this thread but Jesus there's some pearlers.

This.

On an otherwise relatively slow news day I thought it was a good effort from Dave to lighten the mood away from the *stress* of our quest for top4.

Beats another thread on how many points will get us 4th....

Is that a photoshop?

If not it's absolute quality

even Glazer's missus down in Trafford shows her colours...

I can live with the Clarkies - being a bit slow isn't a crime! But there aren't half some miserable gits on here, sometimes?

I thought a point was well made through a bit of irony.

This is the funniest thread in a long time.... I'm hurting from laughing so hard. Well done!

Don't think so, a colleague in UAE sent it to me. Looks like he's just keeping warm!
