Top comment. Happily the views of the sensitive souls on here aren’t reflective of our fan base, the vast majority of whom absolutely love what the sheikh and his money have done for us.The level of ego and delusions of self importance on here is laughable. BJ and his cronies have handed out £3.7 billion in covid contracts to themselves. Yet somehow some people give more of a shit what *uckwitt sports journalist think and people they have never met, or likely too think.
"I feel betrayed"
"I want an apology"
For what? All the money that's been pumped into the club and the local area?
So what do we do?I think he is simply saying that those trophies mean nothing to the owners; money comes first. Of course football's ups and downs will be the same for us, but in the background our knowledge that they mean nothing to our owners will take the gloss off. We will also know that they will do it again given half a chance. I thought our powers that be were better than the glazers and FSG etc., but I was deluded. They betrayed us for thirty billion pieces of silver.
Brilliantdoes he play for Dortmund?
Moves are afoot to stop breakaways.So what do we do?
Fair enough. Which is more important to them, money or trophies?I beg to disagree ab
I beg to disagree about trophies not meaning anything to owners. That may be the case for the yanks but if you cast your mind back to video clips of City managers meeting the Sheik you will see he had replica trophies in his meeting room. So I think trophies do mean something for our owner. And he reportedly watches our games from the comfort of his "palace or wherever he lives".
Moves are afoot to stop breakaways.
The 50+1 rule is under consideration.
Ultimately these moves will fail because they are trade restraints. Few people in the football hierarchy understand that, legally, the breakaways did nothing wrong.
The first moves should be about bringing debt into ffp calculations. Debt caused the spanish clubs to push the superliga at this moment. Longer term, UEFA must become a regulator only and not a promoter of tournaments. Herein lies a big issue: clubs sit on the executive of UEFA and have a vested interest in shaping those tournaments. The new CL format is an example, more games, co-efficient engineering, protected status for 'legacy' clubs. A regulator should be putting player welfare ahead of money making. So, look to the organization's name and get clubs off the boards.
Many more measures available, but enough for now.
City fans? Demand meaningful fan representation within the club, not patronizing talking shops.
Wait till we go away when fans are back. Wait till the press call us traitors at every opportunity. Wait till Darke commentates on our game. Then you can patronize me. Arrogant sod.
Tbf mate they already hate us, what your saying is what they’ve been doing for 13 years now, i suggest you develop a thick skin like the rest of us.Wait till we go away when fans are back. Wait till the press call us traitors at every opportunity. Wait till Darke commentates on our game. Then you can patronize me. Arrogant sod.
