He's being an even bigger knobhead that I imagined he would be. Whining like a bitch because West Ham did to them what Mourinho's sides do in tough away games. Thank fuck we've got Pellegrini instead of that tosspot.jay_mcfc said:Mourinho is on great form this week isn't he. Can't wait to hit them for 5 tomorrow and hear what he has to say this week. There could be tears.

Our owner, chairman, CEO and Director of Football. This could turn into a "But what have the Romans done for us?"Uber Blue said:Our players.

No clubs have ganged up on us. There's no point in getting angry at them. The media is shit stirring and there is no need to fall for it.
Too late I guess and I said I was going to bed too. :-)
You couldn't be more wrong.
Since we got taken over FFFP rules have been driven by the cartel of clubs in Europe the biggest drivers being united, Munich arsenal , et al FFFP came about by them going to uefa
I think you have misunderstood what he was saying have another read

Marvin said:Even if the old top 4 are conspiring, and I don't think they are, it's just cheap headlines on the back of pre-match Mourinho games, there are a few things which should reassure:
In no particular order:
a) City's Chairman predicts City to be profitable in the season 2013/14, and while this does not affect the previous monitoring period, it establishes a trend.
b) In the Summer window, Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea are going to be spending heavily whilst City spent nothing in the last window, and over the last 2 seasons, Utd and Chelsea's net spend is greater.
c) The controversial deal is estimated to be worth £400m over 10 years, yet that is fair-value, and £40m is just 15% of City's revenue for 2011/12 and if it's a flat fee, it will shrink as revenue grows.
d) There are other clubs whose sponsorship deals and financing are a lot more "suspect"
e) FFP is widely seen by a lot of people as a pretty obvious attempt by the old clubs to keep out the new. The propaganda war has already been won.
True. Daniel Taylor penned a quite good article in the Observer on the back of stuff that was in the Annual Report.OB1 said:Our accounts came out this week and it gives the press a chance to fill some space with a story that they hope will cause some controversy. Whether that has anything to do with a media agenda against us or is just a good way to get clicks on a website is not a debate that I can be bothered with.
We have long been the main source of media interest in this country when it comes to FFP.
I would be disappointed if our owner and board did not have a solid strategy for coping with UEFA and their G14 chums and I refuse to worry about this shit. I am far more worried about beating Chelsea tomorrow.
