I could be wrong, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that ADUG was also looking to invest in a club that could be developed in such a way whereby the ground and training complex etc were all on the one site or at the very least in close proximity to one another - this ruled out both Liverpool and Newcastle.

Also that they were looking for a club with a solid fanbase and one which, prior to their investment, had been only modestly successful - again ruling out Liverpool

I support Manchester City man and boy. I'm not giving out about spending money, you can try put words in my mouth like the rest of them if you wish.

Having a handful of teams able to dominate financially isn't good for the game long term, they can drive prices up to make other teams pay over the odds and inflate the market to suit themselves (PSG and Neymar for example)

Manchester City football club have been impeccable thus far and I wholeheartedly disagreed with FFP - it was unfair - as an implementation it was corrupt - I do however think the intention to make the game of football somewhat fairer financially speaking is worthwhile.

I just think it would be hypocritical to support unrestricted spending when we'd be in a cartel of two who could pretty much blow everyone out of the water.

It is just an opinion. I don't get why people are so militant about it, but there you go

You’re very negative about the club, team and many players considering how good we are.

I'm entitled to give me opinion, if you deem that to be negative that's on you- i'm also very supportive - but again you won't post those because it doesn't suit your argument but there you go

I'm comfortable in how I chose to support the club and the opinions I hold. I'm also comfortable with people disagreeing and arguing their point.

What annoys me is the militia who determine you to be a "****" or a rag and put words in your mouth, arguments you never made for speaking about certain things

I think maybe people got confused because you accused us as still being funded by Sheikh Mansour and said his wealth was the reason we could continue to outspend everyone.

When people pointed out that management had done an amazing job of making us self sufficient, you got defensive and acted as if it was a lie.

Was it not Everton and Newcastle they were looking at? Not Liverpool.

Everton, Newcastle & Arsenal, all of whom fucked it up at various stages, thank goodness.

You missed out the "we are owned by a state because of his brother and anyone who disagrees with me is burying their head in the sand" comments. It was like city bingo. Does David Conn run a City supporters group or something?

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

Definitely will be on the BBC I player with Simon Stone .

Bollocks to that then.... I'd have to get a TV licence. Chortle, snigger.

but his wealth is the reason we could outspend everyone if spending was unrestricted, this is hypothetically speaking of course. I don't think it's a good idea to allow that.

I intentionally boiled a few peoples piss who needed it boiling.

Was it Arsenal? I had it in the back of my mind that there was a third club involved but thought it was one of the midlands clubs for some reason.

Genuine question for the moderator.

Why was my post removed? Since I don't recall anything uncivil in there, I can only assume it was to keep the thread on topic but then I don't understand why Esteban's ill informed posts seem to have been left as is, if that's the case. Can we have a bit of balance if you're going to remove posts?

what an absolute man child :D
