That's right, they're running out of excuses. In their desperation they've now come up with another classic excuse. How many more?

Please jog my memory, but aren't these the same people who were desperate for the Qataris to buy their beloved club not so long ago, so they could get rid of the Glazers and spend hundreds of millions on new players?

Apparently not. It was all a smokescreen. In fact, according to some on the thread they would rather still be a PLC. That's right, a 'PLC'. (YCMIU)

I'm not going to ask you to click on the link, but it's there if you want too. However, at least afford yourself a smile and perhaps a laugh at their desperation and utter hypocrisy.(quotes)

Oh another cracker amongst many is. Our club is losing it's soul, it's identity, and the fans feel alienated? Erm...... Scratches head.

The original post.

With City spending stupid amounts of money again this summer it got me thinking how I'd feel if the club I supported did the same.

It was relatively recently when everyone was raving about the kids who came through their academy and they looked to be on the up and up, based mainly on home-grown talent. Which has got to be the most satisfying feeling there is for a football fan.

Next thing the sugar daddy takes over and you see players like Ireland, Onuoha and Richards getting slowly squeezed out of the club, to be replaced by a bunch of foreigners attracted to the club purely by the monstrous salaries on offer.

Obviously, when you've gone without success as long as the berties it's any port in a storm and I doubt this is causing much mixed emotions. I do know, however, that a lot of Chelsea fans felt the club lost a lot of soul when Abramovic took over, so it is possible there are some City fans who feel a bit alienated by all this spending.

My question to the caftards is how would YOU feel if your club went on tilt like the bitters?

Delighted at all the shiny new signings?

Or worried about your club losing it's identity and becoming a glorified phallus for a very rich foreigner to wave in the face of his rivals?

Some more crackers.

I'd rather a PLC than any individual owner.

Nay - I'd hate for the club to become someone's plaything, no matter how well intentioned. I also genuinely wouldn't want to see transfers of the scale and quantity that City have, I'd far rather see stability and growth with the occasional marquee signing.

I prefer clubs that are self-reliant and make their own way. Any success they achieve is then genuinely earnt and deserved - anything else is just fake and hollow.

I also think that clubs who go down in the sugar-daddy route will crash and burn in the longer-run: all it takes is for the sugar-daddy to get bored or fed-up and decide to move on/pull out.

I'm impressed that they've managed that level of self delusion without the aid of medication.

Also, Richards is totally getting "squeezed out by foreigners", playing over 30 games last year.

The question really is, "would you rather be shit with homegrown, or class with purchases"?

As all United fans are spoilt brats who think the world falls apart every time they don't win the Carling Cup, they'll all say the first. It's like those middle class wankers who try and glorify the "bohemian lifestyle" without understanding that there's no glamour or dignity in real poverty.

All of this talk of self reliance is lost on most of the Koreans over there, having not supported the club when they were breaking transfer records while posting losses into the millions in the late 80s, early 90s.

Shit, how stupid of us Damo, we forget. They've earned the money they spend.
