Nick Harris's office boy Ian Herbert in his column in the Mail on about plucky Everton punishred for paying for a state of the art stadium whilst City and West Ham were gifted free Stadium.
Sorry can not link.

The City of Manchester stadium cost £115 million to construct for the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002. We pay the City council £5.5 million in rent each year, 20 years in the stadium means that the council will have had £110 million from City.

The South stand extension cost £50 million in 2015 and the North stand extension plus hotel will cost £300 million. City have paid more than their fair share than what the initial outlay for the stadium was. What was Herbert expecting to happen with the City Of Manchester stadium? It gets built and used for athletics maybe once or twice a year and that’s it? That’s how venues like the Don Valley stadium now don’t exist.

I had that argument with a scouse pillock online. To be honest it's stupid there's no point. I tried to tell him the council got the land Maine Road was on in return, we paid millions to upgrade the Comms to a football stadium, they get revenue from it etcetera. You just waste your time.

It’s exactly what myself and another poster just said.

You can’t tell me that if we hadn’t got taken over, but Newcastle had and has all what we’ve had since then, that there wouldn’t be Blues calling them cheating cunts. Of course there would. Rational thinking goes out the window.

I wouldn't, I would be cheering them from the rafters!
A lesser extent I know but I was delighted when Abromavich took over Chelsea.
I've always thought that United etc. are the cheating cunts, they can spend the most money because 2 million kids in China buy a shirt!

And the council got Maine Road as part of the deal!

That can't be accurate anyway, Infrastructure doesn't play a part in FFP?

Has any team or even any sporting organisation ever received so much pure hatred in the history of sport? It’s constant now and will be ramped up ten fold this weekend! We’ll see banners in stadiums fans chanting what about city. And all the media hacks and pundits will play their part aswell I’m sure. It’s getting to the point where I can’t look on my phone. Couple of scrolls down the screen and there’s some fucking idiot slagging off our club. The media in this country are a disgrace! No honest reporting apart from Martin Samuel. Just a bunch of pathetic little arse wipes printing what they want to happen and passing it off as fact and calling themselves experts. I’ve had to sell my ticket for Saturday because I’ve broken 3 bones in my foot at work. Anyone sat near the press box please give the maggots some shit for me enough is enough. All this shite + var is just sucking the joy of out the game I love. It’s just fucking endless!

You sure?

I was outside the stadium in 2017 for a gig by a band called Milburn. Definitely seen the stadium then. Then again I was pissed
