Bottom of the league

[tolmie's hairdoo]

City have been named the Premier League's least ethical club in an analysis of club ownerships.

20 clubs got points based on 12 criteria - sponsorship, employment practices, free speech, human rights and fan involvement.

Fulham came top in the table drawn up by FIFA Ethics and Regulation Watch with 115 points.

City are at the bottom with 20.

Unsurprisingly, some media outlets have felt this needed publishing today.

Amazing what people will do to tar our club.

Sports washing, eh?

Maybe we didn't furlough enough staff?

Wonder if the study included all the fantastic work our club has done during the pandemic and all the disgusting things the dippers and spurs have gotten up to.

Did it take into account the fact that we didn't claim furlough unlike some clubs and let the NHS use the Nightingale hospital for free (assuming the allegation is that we're not owned by Sheikh Mansour)?

Maybe we didn't furlough enough staff?

Or be sponsored by a bank that funded drug dealers and terrorists

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Maybe we didn't ring enough older fans during the pandemic to check on their well-being?

Because a club should be judged on its freedom of speech and human rights lol

Ive little doubt this was thought up by a Dipper or Rag and probably both!

 

[manchester blue]

And to think we could have owners that ethically take millions out of the club each year.

Seem very loaded questions don’t they? Nothing about community investments to balance things...

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Maybe we don't have a sustained commitment to women's football?

Maybe we didn’t sack 55 staff and our mascot to give our striker a new contract

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Maybe we don't spend enough on the surrounding community?

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

We need a Michael Jackson statue

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Maybe Etihad planes don't fly as ethically as Emirates or United's official airline partner Aeroflot?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Maybe we don't hack enough rival databases?

 

[blueinsa]

Maybe we should murder 39 Juventus fans if we get them in Europe next time round?

 

[yeseye]

 

[Horlocksleftpeg]

Maybe it’s because we paid CAS off

 

[Asa's left peg]

Can't see any comments on their articles - obviously very popular. Only read one aricle. They still think that the Saudis owning Newcastle is worse than the UK gov selling them arms. so transparent. Even a story about poor Qatari owned Bien TV banned from SA.

This board is testament to the club's control on censorship and Ric is a puppet

I try not to get wound up by what other clubs do, but this was particularly ruthless by arse, talk about ethics, these were real people, probably all living in the local area around the ground and probably all arse fans. The mascot did this as a part time job to add to the fun of match day (whether you like mascots or not). It can’t have saved all that much money for them, and certainly much less than some of the players annual wages that can’t even get on their bench, ethics mr arse!
