Dear old Ken never forgave Leeds fans for hurling lumps of broken terrace at his shiny new scoreboard at the away end. Think he said he wanted them sent to Alcatraz or something, ironically he would one day become Leeds chairman. He also gained respect for presenting Ferguson with a pisstake medal in the Chelsea directors box, can’t recall the background but fair to say his lordship was less than impressed.And they were the soft options.
Ken Bates wanted to electrocute them.
They wouldn't have been able to lay a glove on any premier league team, let alone us.

Jérémy and Joško were five or six, when Sheikh Mansour bought City.Well we don't spend the most, so it's a load of bollocks. The rags should be top if all that matters is spending but they're a mid table outfit
did money give us a massive leg up? absolutely, nobody would deny that but that applies to any successful team. Since then it's just been excellent recruitment and spending well. Some of our players today were in infant school when we got taken over, it was a long time ago in football. Yeah we hit the jackpot initially but we've sustained it by recruiting exceptionally well and we aren't the biggest spenders today but still the best.

Even when we get cleared of this latest smear campaign it will fall back to we hired the most expensive legal eagles to get off with it. Fuckem. Two more wins and they can cry some more.Well we don't spend the most, so it's a load of bollocks. The rags should be top if all that matters is spending but they're a mid table outfit
