Re: City & FFP (continued)

Or you could just tell them that their tears taste delicious.

You could, but if you don't tell them what's happening, as there's nothing outside London and the M25 to speak of, then they won't ever learn or know the truth.

I had this very same problem on SSC regarding City and FFPR. Denial or ignorance, or both. However, overtime and after many posts, those who questioned Sheikh Mansour, City, and me, now have an insight into what's going on at City and in the wider community. Yes some still can't see past Sheikh Mansour, his billions, buying success, corrupting football, and not doing things the right way.(arf!) But many now see and understand the bigger picture of what Sheikh Mansour is doing for the club and the wider community as a whole. :-)

I don't seek or crave their approval. Their ignorance and pain sustains me. I'll leave the diplomacy to you, mate :-)

Besides, do you really think people who come up with that crap are remotely interested in the truth?

Thanks. :-)

Honestly, probably not.

But even so, I gain plenty of personal satisfaction when people, be it in person or via the interweb, finally understand and appreciating what's going on at City. :-)

Re: City & FFP (continued)

As far as FFP is concerned, Arsenal fans really are the biggest joke in football. I had to point out to one the other day that their shirt sponsorship deal is actually worth £10m more than our "inflated" deal, despite the fact that they've achieved fuck all in the last 10 years, and we've won the league twice in the last 3 years. It's like arguing with creationists. Nothing ever goes in.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

You have to admire Wenger. He's turned Arsenal from a successful football club into a successful business that rips off its legion of foreign fans and prices out the locals. God bless him, he despises them as much a I do.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

The next time you speak to them, ask them about the QN7 apartments located right next to the Emirates. Land that Ar$enal owned and sold to a property developer instead of using it for the local community.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.qn7.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.qn7.co.uk/</a>

Then tell them about the Connell Sixth Form College, <a class="postlink" href="http://connellsixthformcollege.com/students/connell-student-life/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://connellsixthformcollege.com/stud ... dent-life/</a>, the Beswick Leisure centre and community pitches, located next to the training academy, and the Beswick Community Hub, that Sheikh Mansour via Manchester City are part-funding.(can't find a website for either yet)

Then ask them which club is run the proper way, not only for the benefit of the fans, but also for the benefit of the local and wider community. ;-)

Or you could just tell them that their tears taste delicious.

You could, but if you don't tell them what's happening, as there's nothing outside London and the M25 to speak of, then they won't ever learn or know the truth.

But many now see and understand the bigger picture of what Sheikh Mansour is doing for the club and the wider community as a whole. :-)

its a mix of all when you have most football journo (and medias) spreading bullshits and lies instead of facts (city ruining football, money)

the nature of football fans (not all but big proportion) who are blinded by hatred and jealousy towards other's success

so it gives you a clear image of the deluded arse fans

some people just wishing City to crumble why ? i don't know !

but give it 5 years and things will change

Oh my!

Can you image what the training academy and the Etihad stadium are going to look like in 5 years time. As for the Collar Site and Etihad Campus around the stadium, who knows? But one thing is for sure, it's going to look mind blowing, whatever's planned and built.

As for City's revenues. Bye, bye Arsenal. And by the time the leisure destination of national and international significance is built, and the Etihad Campus is fully operational, bye, bye United.

It's just that United, Arsenal, etc, fans, just can't see it and don't get it. The vast majority of them haven't got a f***ing(sorry for swearing) clue what's being built and being planned. Oh my word, are they in for a shock! :-)

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Arsenal represent everything that is bad in football. A club that has ripped off its own supporters for years, has hardly invested anything in its local community and exists only to put more money into the back pockets of its wealthy board members. I had lots of respect for the old Arsenal. They had great supporters rooted in North London. Their new breed of fans are truly sickening and amongst the most ignorant in the country. The business model at Arsenal, which essentially revolves around its board taking money out of the club and investing it abroad, is never challenged by our media. The won the FA Cup with one less English player (one) than we won the league with but we were painted as the bad guys. These days I despise Arsenal almost as much as the rags.
