fucking brilliant ..Coincidentally, trying to discuss this with a rag or a dipper is like playing chess, with a pigeon. It knocks all the pieces over, shits all over the board, then struts around like it won.

Was at the Newcastle match yesterday with a load of geordies. They dont give a toss about any of this stuff. See it as not relevant. They dislike City for other reasons (away matches at Main Road and the treatment of fans). As one said, it all feels like who is the biggest bully on the playground shite.

Manchester City facing calls for Champions League ban after Football Leaks revelations
Europe's giants are enlisting the help of rivals Manchester United to get Sheikh Mansour's club kicked out
This is one of my favourites. As though the rags would only enter the fray at the behest of Real, Barca and Bayern. As though they, and Gill haven't been left, right and centre of every dodgy move to stop us.

I’m hurt. Just because I have evidence that the Apollo moon landings were filmed in a potting shed at Elstree doesn’t mean I’ll believe anything! ;-)

I live here mate. Go on a regular basis. Good to watch a match with no emotional baggage attached. Was a good game yesterday but i am their lucky charm. Only ever seen them lose to one club (City) and i have been to 30 plus matches in last 6 years....What huge wager had you lost to have to suffer this? ;-)
Sporting intelligence...
Aside from the fact he has a distinct hatred for City, how on earth is that worth an article? Take away some of City's money and they would have less money, more stats as we get them.
I suspect 'Sporting Rampant Fucking Mediocrity' is still available if Knickerless wants a moniker more in keeping with the level of his abilities.
Shock, horror! People who have a long-standing relationship within which they've done business together successfully continue to do business together. It isn't as if Abu Dhabi and Nexen have sought to hide this, either.
The quality of reporting on these allegations - and I'm not talking about hostility to MCFC here but knowledge on the part of journalists - has been truly dismal. (As someone who's spent over 20 years in big commercial law firms doing work for major sporting clients, I'm qualified to assess this). It's a highly specialist area, so you wouldn't expect football journalists to navigate it with ease, though it might be nice to see some of them recognise the fact. However, there's a small number who hold themselves out as experts in the business side of football.
To a man (and I think they are all male), they're pretty fucking clueless, but Nick Harris is the hardest of the lot to take seriously. He seems to reckon he's a hard-hitting exposer of the truth, but anyone who, like him, tweets in the manner of someone soiling himself with glee in response to any news confirming his tawdry little biases deserves simply to be mocked.
For an informed perspective on City stuff in this area, follow Stefan of the 93:20 pod - @slbsn on Twitter - and the estimable @Prestwich_Blue while Swiss Ramble on Twitter is terrific for football finance generally.
