A few decades is just minutes in a football fans head, I'm not alone in still hating those spurs twats from the 81 final. 40 years on still number 3 in my list of clubs I'd hope we buy and burn down.... actually probably number 4 now with a new entry at 3 of FCSCUM in Moston.At least you’ve managed to get over it. ;-)
My rivals change over time. THis season I am ABL and ABC, and I want the Geordie Nation relegated before they can do any damage to us.A few decades is just minutes in a football fans head, I'm not alone in still hating those spurs twats from the 81 final. 40 years on still number 3 in my list of clubs I'd hope we buy and burn down.... actually probably number 4 now with a new entry at 3 of FCSCUM in Moston.
Disagree with your first line.A few decades is just minutes in a football fans head, I'm not alone in still hating those spurs twats from the 81 final. 40 years on still number 3 in my list of clubs I'd hope we buy and burn down.... actually probably number 4 now with a new entry at 3 of FCSCUM in Moston.
Know what you mean but there's 'real time' and history time, the latter starts whenever it suits the redshirts/media narrative.Disagree with your first line.
A few decades in Football actually has fans believing things have always been that way.
Dippers have always been European Royalty and a Top English side since they were formed. Ha ha
Rags have always been the dominate English Club. Ha ha
City have no history and are a second Division team!
Most can't see beyond the Sky & BT Red Rag bias.
You don't think you could compete with Arsenal or Spurs? Let's hope it's a good game of football on Saturday and you don't resort to trying to kick us off the park as you did last year. I wonder what the odds were on no penalty for City and no red cards, might give Mr Bloom a call.You’re not wrong about Tony Bloom! He came on board in 2008/9 when all the banks went tits up. Basically the club board would not have been able to get the £47m (I believe) because of that. He stepped in coughed up £93m for a state of the art stadium - all highest spec. possible. This was to be repaid interest free over 20 years - I think that’s right.
Check out Starlizard re.Tony Bloom’s many ventures - algorithms and all that. As for expecting a return, well, maybe an invitation to join the European Super League!!
Seriously, football wise, a top ten finish is the current target, then who knows? We’re not going to compete with you and the other teams in red or Spuds and Chels.
I believe it was Alan Sugar who said that you never make money owning a football club.

Until 1973 City and Liverpool had won the same amount of major trophies. So if City have no istree then by logic the dippers only started in the 70s

Busby was a visionary who we should have kept at the Club. He scoured the country for the best young talent the "Busby Babes" then along came Europe and they were first in line. Liverpool acquired the sevices of Bill Shankly who was a truly brilliant motivator of men and they too benefited from the vast sums of money to be earned from playing in Europe. We were run by Luddites who plodded along using old tried and tested methods that were no longer practical and we were left behind.Until 1973 City and Liverpool had won the same amount of major trophies.
