Let's Give Alison Brittain A Warm City Welcome On Sunday ;-) (Richard Masters Chickened Out)

[murcian blue]

Just win the trophy for the fourth time in consecutive seasons, that's the biggest message we could give Mr Masters.

I agree this is the most important trophy to win no one has done it before

"Alison Brittain is appointed the first female chair of the Premier League with Manchester United fan leaving her role at hospitality giant Whitbread for one of football's top jobs"​

She'll he getting booed twice as much now and rightly so

All the arseholes come unstuck....

Sorry to put you off your breakfast.

When was the last time the PL CEO failed to present its Champions Trophy?

When was the last time the PL CEO failed to present its Champions Trophy?

You could also frame that question as, when was the last time the PL CEO presented the champions trophy shortly before being forced to resign due to the shambolic handling of an inquiry into the club in question?

Rag as well, isn't she?

Most rags are in hiding. I’m sure she will be professional

I actually thought she came across well and looked like she really enjoyed the ceremony.

I actually thought she came across well and looked like she really enjoyed the ceremony.

Thought her body language and general disposition was totally at odds with that of Masters last season

I think many are underestimating how big of a slight (and signal) Richard Masters choosing to attend the Arsenal match rather than ours actually was.

Was it particularly surprising? Not really.

But was it a fairly substantial indication of where things stand with him and the league re: the charges at this time? Absolutely.

And was it meant as a direct signal to those outside of the league and City’s battle? Yes, it was.

This was meant to send many messages to many entities, none of them positive for us.

In some ways, it was an escalation of the war.

And, whether or not he leaves in the summer, I think this was only one of many more aggressive volleys the club will be fielding soon.

There is a growing effort to not only isolate but completely discredit City as both a club and a business by the ever-expanding American ownership contingent within the league, spearheaded by the Arsenal and Liverpool ownership groups. It is becoming the dominant force within the league.

Masters being one of the first PL CEOs to essentially refuse to present the league winners with the trophy is just one of many more signals to come.

Or it could be the actions of a broken, beaten man.
