The picture that emerges is of a seriously professional club, but not without some human failings.
They'll do for me.

Interesting that. We've just had a CM Reps meeting and the consensus was that while there's an awful lot they do right, there are some significant failings. The whole ESL fiasco showed there are some stupid people running our top clubs in fact. And I wouldn't absolve our club from that either.

Any thoughts on how the club are going to contribute and facilitate getting 5000 to Porto, was this on the agenda

Guardian Fiver describes Manchester City as a Petroclub and urge the games regulatory authorities to "impose what we all know they are never going to impose".

Ronay: On the the duality of City. "The boundless resources, the basic weirdness of a nation state owning a football club for PR reasons: this all remains. There are those who will be unmoved by success on the pitch, and unable to look past this. It is a logical position. We are all, City fans included, being manipulated in our dear old home grounds by a state hungry for soft power."

It's not news any more that they have this opinion of City but there are a hundred or so City fans who comment on their regularly who just seem to accept this. In what sense are Manchester City a Petroclub? Where is the evidence that City are owned by a nation-state?

Stop commenting.

Just been a very good segment on MOTD for us, felt a bit sorry for Leicester who didn't even get their win reviewed but they did a good job of praising our season.

Stop subscribing & passing it on, I’ve no interest in posh public school boys opinions who pick & choose their principles depending on the narrative they want to create. We certainly know that one of their principles isn’t truthfulness.

They had the guy that wrote that on Talksport earlier. Spanish journo based in Manchester, done stuff on Pep before apparently. Appeared very informed and in the loop

With Shearer again repeating the myth that City have a "big" squad!
He did also say "talented " but he said "big" which implies more than any other club

Ronay is not even a trained journalist. He is happy to repeat the "owned by a nation state" lie because he just doesn't check his facts. The ownership structure at City is very transparent. Our accounts have been audited again and again over the last 10 years. Why would respected independent financial auditors collude to hide our ownership structure? Is all the information held at Companies House false? And yet some newspapers choose to deliberately publish false information about our club. The correct information is all verifiable.
