No I’m sure he wrote richer than god which covered a fair spectrum of our history including the takeover.
I was merely using it as a stick to beat him with regarding the hypocrisy of his attack on Pep.

Complete anti city wanker
FC ****s are a fucking disgrace! Between Walsh, Walker and that other twat who's name escapes me, they've plundered that Club to the verge of bankruptcy. I'm originally from Moston and when I go back to visit friends or family if genuinely feel sick driving past that squalid little hovel.2 years on from the exposure of the complete and utter financial sham and undemocratic way The Moston Rag Socks was being run - the club that in his book was held up as the bastion of all things good about the game - Conn still hasn't taken to print to say a negative word about his new found friends.
And until he does, then I have no respect for anything else he writes.
He's not anti city. He's anti our owners and he's entitled to that opinion. Doesn't make him a wanker. He doesn't only write about us and his work on Hillsborough was excellent.
I started to read 'Richer than God' but gave up about a quarter of the way in because I couldn't take him seriously, such were the extreme levels of his naivety around football, its finances in particular. It was as if the book had been written by an articulate child who had never been allowed to play outside.It isn't just our current owners that he hates, he hates City and, supposedly, what it stands for. He longs for lads getting the bus to the game then stood on the terraces, having a beer and a laugh having paid 3 bob to get in. That is why he so actively promoted FCUM. As MES says, he has not commented on how the so called fans club has been fleeced by the so called fans who managed the club and how it is just a crock of shite as they are just like all the rest selling out to $ky etc. He hated City before 2008 he just never had a vehicle with which to promote his bitterness.
