City Ownership

[persvenality cult]

So, on balance, after 400 posts and several hours;

Can you recap the evidence have you uncovered that the club is lying to us, and wilfully decieving the Premier League, the FA and the press when it states that the club is owned 100% by Sheik Mansour?

you never did reply to my questions about how this forum earns it's income, or were you inferring that it is indeed a charitable institution?

To be honest, I don't know how much this forum earns, if I did I wouldn't tell you, and it has the square root of fuck all to do with you either way. Feel free to set up your own forum and see how much you make.

touchy touchy. TBH I do not have the IT wherewithal to even come close to being able to set up a forum (I can see from Ric's website that he clearly does) but my point was not that - my point was that I suspect that the more posts and visitors that there are, the more advertising income that the owner of this site receives (and I believe that advertising income on a site like this is a lot more than the square root of fuck all) - I do not in any way begrudge him that income as he runs a good site, but I am still of the opinion that controversial posts generate more posts and income for the site, hence maybe posts like this one get created to generate more income. Just an alternative view

Yes, you've finally got me. My three years of work on here have all been a sham, I'm really a rag who's here to start trouble and was just waiting for the exact right moment to strike. Good job guys, never thought I'd be caught.

I knew that really, we should pull this thread even though it doesn't break any rules, but because it asks questions of our oh so glorious owners. We cannot possibly give any journalists any ammunition, we need to batten down the hatches against the oncoming storm of the mighty colossi that are Oliver Holt and Mark Ogden. The seas will rise, the stars will fall and City's proud 130+ year history will all be over.

Repent with me brothers, repent so that we may yet save the souls of those damned for speaking the eternal sin; repent so that we may be saved from the demonic Daniel Taylor, the infidel Ian Cheeseman and "that guy who looks like Santa with a dyed beard".

They are coming, and we must be prepared! Pull the thread! Pull it quickly before they notice something that was said in front of a stadium full of fans and beamed into several million homes live, and is available as a replay on the OS. Quick! They'll never know!

well done democles"freedom of speech at its best". just hope the media dont jump all over it!

What would they publish?

"Mancini's slip of tongue reveals link to human rights abusers"

Mansour would own them by the time the lawyers finished.

Hi Damo, couldn''t see a reply to my earlier question, but just wondered what was the clubs response to your findings?

They accepted that they were very stupid to sell the club in the first place. They are going to sell the players, refund as much of the money as they can, return the FA Cup, withdraw from Champion's League.

With special dispensation we are going to be able to bring back the squad of 1996 in the knowledge that it will see us back into the third tier of English football within a couple of years.

Only then will some people be truly satisfied.

YCMIU!!!

PS. Have they got rid of the currants in the balti pies yet??

Get lost Domo u just idiot , y r u posting such kind of shit threads when v r celebrating our best season. Sheikh mansour is great man n am sure he cares man city more than u do . i live in abudhabi n know him better than u . So fuck of go get job . Leave us enjoy our best moment.

I'm sorry but labelling a clearly intelligent individual as an idiot whilst writing with the eloquence of a 13 year old moston chav is somewhat ironic.

"our oh so glorious owners" - forgive me for thinking that the way you phrased that comes over as rather sarcastic, and rather anti our owners, or maybe you meant "our oh so glorious owners" in some different way? I do not at all think you are a rag, but it is clear you really do not like the owners of our club. You could write a book and call it "Abu Dhabi ruined my life", it would make you a lot of money

I feel a Hitler Parody Video coming on.

F*** me, would that be a classic addition, to an already classic thread.

Please God, let it happen.

Then again, if it was posted on Youtube and the press got hold of it(Talk Shite, etc), it would be a..........(fill in as appropriate) for the club.

Let's just keep the bitching in house.

They're just not the proper pies!

I blame the owner of the club.

Has he ever had a pie ffs?

I'm thinking of changing my name to Domocles in tribute to this. One of my favourite posts on BM that, had me creasing.

still going on about this ?

 

[bwfcchick]

they certainly do not, and by the way good luck to you and your brother with the baby (things never change in Bolton either eh? sorry only joking)

No, they don't. My brother say hiiiiiii!

nice one! Well done for seeing I was only joking - you are a hundred times less sensitive than the average poster in here (well so your bro said anyway)

Haha. I'm a teacher so need to read between the lines. My bro can vouch for it anyway.

Funny that, I've been a staunch supporter of Khaldoon and Sheikh Mansour for numerous years on here; on their business acumen and their vision for a "project", when people were expecting an Al-Fahim type deal. But yes, it's clear that I really don't like them. Obviously.

With all due respect Damocles, those questions should have been asked two years ago, and not now.(especially after the last 2 weeks)

Not only that, but if there are any questions to be asked or issues to be raised, I'm sure some full time journalist at one of the broadsheets would have picked up on it by now.

Let it go that man.

They haven't been at City for 'numerous years'

just as much as it is clear that "our oh so glorious owners" was not said with any form of sarcasm. Obviously

 

[Rascal]

With my past history on the subject of ownership of our club perhaps i should say nothing.


I will however say that if a person has genuine fears and does feel strongly about the owners, they should not be ridiculed or made to feel as though they are undermining the club.


Reasoned debate on the facts is the way to do it.

Whilst I've had an ongoing war with Damocles all seAson I feel the abuse he is getting in this thread is pathetic . It's a totally valid observation and this thread has definitely been informative about the clubs ownership and the culture of Abu dhabi.

Thanks to the knowledgeable contributors. I feel the answer to the question posed is in the thread too.

Sorry so many of you had your seasons ruined by it .

Agree that the abuse aimed at Damocles has been ridiculous. Though I do think the thread was pointless and to state City were possibly lying in the website where they state Mansours 100% ownership was certainly not needed.
