Remember the Rush deal , we scouted him for months playing for Chester and Swales decided the fee was too much , sums up Swales really,

IIRC Alan Oakes was manager of Chester at the time and he told City to get down there and sign him.

Shebahn Ahern giddy rag routine on Talkshite is now wearing thin. Other fans have noticed and she happily reads out what they say and acts like she doesn't give a shit. "The Wembley of the North will make Manchester the biggest city in the country." She might need to look at her geography.

How can Ronay comment on what "many neutrals" think seeing as he is totally lacking in neutrality ? He's just a wanker playing to the gallery.

And why is he so incapable of honesty?

He says we haven't had to sell a player in 10 years, so perhaps I was in an alternative universe when we sold Sterling, Jesus and Zinchenko to potential title rivals last year, Mahrez, Laporte and Palmer this year, Ferran Torres in 21/22 and Leroy Sane in 20/21.

I'd honestly be absolutely fucking embarrassed to put my name to a piece so lacking in basic accuracy, and that's without mentioning the factually incorrect statement that the club is owned by a sovereign wealth fund.


What a complete and utter fraud.

Yes, he did, and Big Mal went down toChester to see him, and said "No,he's rubbish, we don't want him".

And that was that.

I think Gary James will corroborate this.

I remember it slightly differently. Pretty sure Alan Oakes advised him to join Liverpool not City

Ducker pissing and meaning about Savio
And now the BBC has posted this, noticeably without a byline, though it has Stone and Coppack’s fingerprints all over it
View attachment 106388

The Daily Telegraph is poisonous when it comes to City. It really is. Ducker, Sam Wallace, Jason Burt and the 'diminutive' Chris "Diddy" Bascombe" et. al, just cannot wait to put the knife in when it comes to City. There is also a racist, anti-Arab, anti-muslim tone in a lot of their articles. Maybe it's because of the impending takeover - who knows but is it quite sinister? Funnily enough, the Guardian reported on the Savio transfer and they were fair, balanced and objective in their report, which was refreshing for a change. The so-called "journalists" at the Telegraph are individually and collectively a nasty piece of work.

TL : DR
FIFY - "Ronay, he's a Wanker"

Discussion on BBC Sport about City:
just cheating and hoping to get away with it, stinks if they do"

I reported the comment as defamatory (sad, I know!) and got this reply:

We’ve looked into this and believe it does not break house rules.

I appealed their decision and got this reply:

Dear BBC User,
In this instance, we believe the moderator made the correct decision so we will be unable to uphold your appeal... we are unable to discuss this matter further.

Based on what Paladin suggested, I might copy and paste the cheat comment in dipper and rag comments sections and see if they delete them. If so, you'd think any complaint would be well founded!
