Gary Neville

[jim tolmies perm]

Well he's telling the truth and the way things have gone this week it's better than nowt.. so I'll take it..
...for now

It doesn’t matter, what Neville says gets reported and repeated across a lot of outlets. We can’t complain about the media not putting our side then complain when they do because of we do;’t like the messenger.

Actually, we can and I will......... ;-)

Neville is full of shit!
He talks well and sounds informed but it’s all bollocks

He moans about human rights then take Qatar money for world cup
He moans about the glazers but took their money for years
He talks about racism but then admits he basically told Raz to get on with it for England
He talks about FFP but has done the same with Salford

He wants to be our owners but is doing it with a hotel and Salford city not a global investment business

Neville’s real agenda here is that United are about to be taken over by someone like Qatar who will pump billions [more] into the club and he doesn’t want any restrictions on that.

He’d like nothing better than City to get thrown out of the league and then United given the freedom to spend whatever they like.

Some of what he said about FFP is helpful. He has a vested interest here. Let's not forget his motives. However, deep down he's hurting real bad because we have dominated the PL over the last 10 years, increased our global brand massively, played some sublime football and raised the standard in the English game. So, let's not forget he's hurting real bad and he has a personal agenda. That said, some of the baying mob will have heard his comments regarding FFP and some may be thinking differently because of what he said, but not many as FFP being a protection blanket for the history clubs spoils the media narrative.

P.s. I bet Gary cries into his pillow every night thinking about City's success....

So having half a billion in debt and your business registered at the financial accountability black hole that is the Cayman Islands is "truly sustainable" is it Gary?

They would also pump millions into the city. Gary likes a bit of cheese and no serious Manc investor or political type has a problem with Arab investment.

Loath to say it too but a lot of Manc Rags have got to know it’s a stitch up. Yes they are a gloating bunch at times but they have blue friends, colleagues and relatives and whatever they say, they watch us on telly. The most jealous ones really revelling in our situation are Rags and red types with no personal ties to the region imo.

He has been saying for many years that owners should be able to invest, it is not something new. He was probably thinking of Salford City at time where he has, of course, invested.

Probably true, my experience of match attending local Manchester rag fans is that they accept the rules are a bit of protectionist stitch-up.

Liverpool fans seem to have the biggest chip on their shoulder about it, I suppose because up until recently they saw their owners as paragons of virtue only interested in sustainably building their club organically and we were the only thing between them and domination of the league. As we as always knew, it turns out their owners were just after making a quick buck like the rest of the US owners.

The fact is that the closer a club follows the FFP rules the less happy the fans of that club are. That says a lot about who the rules were written for.
