I love this thread just after one of the usual suspects plays City bingo.
Just remember, you are all feral rats and like vermin you should be put down.

I really think we should just end the thread here, these people get off on their click bait articles and then watching us post all their tweets and talk about them.

I know it’s hard when they post such hypocritical & laughable articles but they really need to be ignored by us.

Funnily enough modern batteries fuelling everything from phones to laptops to electric cars rely largely on cobalt mined by children in Congo for their Chinese overlords.
Luckily these middle class media twats with selective ethics don’t have to worry about this as they can make their click bait, money from misery, directly from a cloud above pious mountain.
It’s just us mere mortals who encourage this child slavery due to our addiction to the latest iPhone, and our lack of morals of course. Shame on us who don’t boycott anything Chinese made.

Tbh I think you will struggle to find any corporate entity large enough to sustain the sponsorship of an elite level football club that doesn't have a few murky or questionable aspects to its business.

State of fucking journalism in this country. I wonder who the fuck Migeul is?
You’d hope spelling was a basic skill when writing a full article but writing 5 words and spelling 20% of them wrong is seriously poor....

And as surely as night follows day, the “Touchy” card is deployed by Cohen

And of course, having deliberately baited City fans in order to provoke a response, he is now also deploying the “Antisemitism card”. Clear and organised. It has played out exactly as he intended.

Mancunians barely knowing where UAE is......

Of course we are all thick with our flat caps & stubby thumbs & our pigeons don’t fly that far, we barely know anywhere beyond our cobbled streets.

We know the difference. City are not viewed as being owned by an individual but being owned by a state.

That is the crux of most of City's problems in the media and its one where the club has completely failed.

Whether the club is actuslly owned by Abu Dhabi or Mansour as an individual (and I've seen even people like @Prestwich_Blue say we are effectively owned by the AD executive council) is largely irrelevant, they allowed the club to be tied to the state from day 1 and that brings with it all the baggage of that state.

We weren't bought by Sheikh Mansour the individual. We were bought by Abu Dhabi United Group. Leicester and Chelsea were bought by individuals.

The Abu Dhabi state airline sponsors us. Leicester are sponsored by the personal company of the srivaddhanaprabha family.

Our chairman is the Head of a state owned investment fund, he sits on a bunch of government boards and councils. Leocester's chairman was the owners son.

The club failed to separate Sheikh Mansour as the owner and Abu Dhabi as the owner.

You look at Abramovic and hes front and centre of things at Chelsea. He went to every game for 10 years, he is known to make decisions personally. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha went to almost every game before he died at a Leicester City game. He was publicly visible, in press releases and seen in public at club events etc.

Mansour issues a press release when we win the league and is snapped by a club photographer when the squad flies out to Abu Dhabi every couple of years and it only gets seen by City fans. There is 1 photograph of Mansour at a game that is used a decade after it was taken.

People believe the club is owned by a state because the club and its owner have done almost nothing to dissuade anyone from that idea.

And who knows if they even want to? They have done nothing to stop people linking the two. If they really wanted they could have a lawyer or PR person contact every single newspaper that says the club is owned by Abu Dhabi and make them correct it. They don't want to.


States are easy to hate. They all do terrible things and there's millions of people motivated to investigate them. They're on a global stage full stop.

Individuals are much harder to target. Abramovic is a horrendous person with a lot of blood on his hands, but its all rumours and its all very very small time compared to the bad deeds of even the smallest state.

As long as the club is linked to a state we are going to be hated by the press and treated completely differently to clubs owned by individuals. I would argue there's really not much point in caring about it anymore, particularly as the club doesn't.

In order to separate individual and state, the owner, Mansour himself, must be more visible at the stadium.
Maybe he will be at the chumps league final, but that should only be the start.
Regular visits to the games is what is needed.
Until that happens our ownership will be perceived as government state, by proxy. No matter what the reality is.
