Ian ' Grubby Little Club' Herbert. Constantly spewing bile and vitriol about City.

Ah thanks.

 

[BTH]

Herbert's X account states: "Author of 'Tinseltown', the story of Wrexham FC and Hollywood "
The irony!

Apologies if already posted but below is an extract from Barney Rubble’s latest piece in the Guardian. It’s a hell of a leap from City legitimately challenging a potentially unlawful rule amendment in February to being responsible for Neymar’s 220 million transfer fee. The nonsense in the media was doing my head in but not anymore. They really are pushing inaccurate hyperbolic bollocks.

“In reality it is the opposite, a distortion of the market via state subsidies and PR aims that have nothing to do with value or competition, that lead us into such appalling non-market outcomes as Neymar being sold for €220m. The ghost of Milton Friedman says: this is not capitalism. It’s closer to the command economy.”

Is Barney the odd slate short?

When Liverpool were holding out for more money for Coutinho because they knew Barcelona had £220m burning a hole where they not guilty of not only inflating the transfer market but receiving over market value for a player

His article was on the mail bit you pay for so they trouser a few bob off gullible Leeds, Newcastle and rags. It's ultimate clickbait like talkspurs.

Very large one club Cities who can pull big numbers for a Wembley game like say Coventry but pre Keegan Newcastle were getting under 10K and even now we average more than them & even in Leeds glory era in the 70s their crowds were very large but no bigger than ours

Spot on. I was going to mention Newcastle's gates when they dropped down the league's. Leeds have never had bigger gates than us.
