I have been researching fan opinions on FFP on many different forums and tonight was "RAWK Night."
Did I expect to find a discussion of the actual issues and how it might affect their club? No, but I sort of hoped that I would. At least to some extent.
Let's see.... bashing City takes up pretty much everything posted since May.
UEFA just "tickled (City's) balls" with the punishment.
Sheikh Mansour is "tyrant scum." And, per one delightful product of scouse-dom, most of "THEM" have multiple wives so maybe something like the Monaco owner divorce will happen multiple times to us.
Just truly vile, hateful nonsense. Racism (overt and less so) never far from the surface. Utter denial/no appreciation whatsoever that the FFP rules could prove a horrible difficulty for them should the rules stay around.
But big ups to "Manchester Blue" who was posting excellently there and trying to calmly debate the scousers in a very knowledgeable, professional and respectful manner. The response to him was pretty much "how is this &^%$ still allowed to post here."
(Sigh). Should I have expected more? Rhetorical question, of course, but fans on a dozen other forums seem more able to grasp the issues and dynamics in play. Even the 'Caf will show some flashes of sense and reason. But these people seem to combine utter delusion with a more or less pervasive hatefulness and very little understanding of what is actually going on.
Sorry for the rant. I just feel dirty right now after dipping (pun intended) into those fetid waters and needed to vent.
