Manchester City Millions Ruin Football

[cookster]

Love this brilliant, well thought article by Mick Dennis

WE BLITHELY accept Manchester City’s vast wealth. It has become a familiar facet of our football, like that big scar on Alan Hansen’s bonce.



But two absentees from the Etihad epic with Tottenham reminded us how City’s riches have disfigured our game.

City paid £25million for Emmanuel Adebayor and are still paying the majority of his £170,000-a-week wages while he is on loan to title rivals Spurs.

And they paid close to £40m for Carlos Tevez and are doling out all of his salary while he plays a bit of golf and talks to any club daft enough to think of making him even richer.

It used to be the case that a manager who wagered a club’s money on one expensive player who flopped could expect to be sacked and the club could expect to go skint.

Now, at City, nobody bats an eyelid at the most profligate accumulation of unwanted players the English game has ever known.

The bolded part I love. Didn't Hughes sign both players?

Ha ha, true.

Dennis is an absolute wanker who despises City with a passion.

 

[squirtyflower]

In his rush to have a pop at city he's forgotten the facts

What about £50m spent by Chelsea on a player who can't hit a barn door with a banjo from five yards.

Or £35m on a violent drunken carthorse who similarly couldn't hit a cow's head with a cello?

 

[waspish]

Fact is though we don't pay the majority if Ade wage it's 10%

 

[TGR]

I agree entirely! And if my memory is correct one Mr Mark Hughes bought both of them!

A repugnant little man who thinks supporting a small club makes him a more worthy supporter. Hr is a qualified ref he sometimes likes to mention I bet he's an absolute knob who ruins Sunday morning games on a regular basis.
