A bit disappointed in the chairman and The Sheikh

[samharris]

Just to let you know, the Sheikh doesn't wear Al-Jazeera (his club in the UAE) shirt
when he attends the matches. He rarely wear a scarf and that's it.
The officials here in UAE and the owners don't wear their team shirt and I don't see it happen in Manchester with Khaldoon as in example.
In addition, the Sheikh elder brother (Crown Price of Abu Dhabi) watched City match against Barcelona in Camp-Nou last August.

I'm pretty sure if the Sheikh have enough time, he would have attended several matches for City this year. =)

Oh fuck.

I've Clarkied the Sheikh.

now thats funny.

Don't worry, DD, Garry Cook is the man to reach out to the fans. He knows what we like. That's why he's been wearing Superman underpants under his velcro suit trousers for every home game this season, hoping that both his and your favourite player will come to the fore and put in a great, match winning performance and score an important goal. When this happens, The Chin has vowed to rip the velcro trousers off to reveal the undies and he will then lead the Colin Bell Stand in a rendition of "Ireland is Superman" before downing a yard of ale and belching in the face of the opposition's chairman. Alas, Ireland is yet to play his part. However, there is still time and you did say that you thought the derby could be special..........

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.

Good point. What's the name of that film?

Oh yes....

LOST IN TRANSLATION.

bloody hell there's some gullible sods on here!

tell you what, my mate who happens to be a nigerian prince in exile has $30m in his account. he needs a case of peroni and a bottle of 15 year old scotch to release these funds and you'll get $6m from the deal. if you pm me, i'll let you know where to drop the booze off ;)

I've got a 12 year old (it's not full) if that's any use to you?

respect to khaldoon!

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.

well, let's be honest. Things look good right now, and without the signings there is no way we'd be in this position. Even so, hopefully they've realised that money is only effective when it's used to back up a clear, long-term sporting strategy. Robinho was bought for all the wrong reasons, and I believe the club have learned from that. But the managerial situation is still a little unclear. Once that is sorted out, and we have a manager secure in his job, then I will be satisfied with their management of the football club.

to be fair, Ashley has turned it around at newcastle. they are being run far more sensibly now than has been the case in decades. no big name signings or managers. just building a team.

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...

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!
