I have recently started ‘owning’ our money jibes. When I hear the usual I just reply with a variation of “I know, City fucking own this league. It must be really boring for you lot. We’re the richest club in the world and we’re untouchable. The game belongs to us and that’s just the way its going to stay for the foreseeable. If we decide we want to win the next 5 titles our money will just make it happen. It’s absolutely brilliant and I wouldn’t change a thing. Must be brutal for your lot though, fancy getting yourselves in half a billion of debt in order to challenge us and then finding out it was for naught, you can’t even scratch the surface. In the future you will only win what City allow you to win”
They hate it and usually change the subject.
For added loveliness I suggest adopting the following attitude in tandem:
”Why do the FA allow small time debt-ridden clubs even a voice? Chasing our success by constantly playing the game with the banks’ money, its cheating, financial doping. I’m sick of these clubs trying to raise money , piggy-backing on City’s success. If they haven’t got their own money they should fuck off, know their place, and leave the game to those of us who can afford to compete. I can’t believe the FA even give them voting rights. If they haven’t got their own money they should just shut up and accept their reality, they’re playing OUR game and using our name to raise ever more debt. It’s immoral. I hate small clubs, theyre a blight on our beautiful game”.
Most don’t bite, they just shut up and change the subject but now and again you get a lovely big meltdown to witness.
