I read "Richer than God" and found it quite interesting, although I agree that his fascination with FCU was strange.
Conn has developed a special interest in football finance which cuts through much of the romanticism that attracts us to the game and our team and I think that some find this unsettling (I do). I dont perceive him as "having a go at City", he just tells it as it is.
Whilst I do think there is an anti City agenda in much of today's sports writing and coverage I dont think that Conn is part of that. He's certainly not out of the same stable as Colin Schindler.

Ok, David.
The Flash said:Fuck him.
He's a dinosaur. He doesn't represent modern day football fans, he is not the voice of MCFC. No need to get angry at an old codger who refuses to move with the times.
