[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Could we do one of them holograph things with him in the directors box ?
Or get an out of work lookalike actor to dress up as him and ship him to every game home and away. I'm sure the thespian would keep quiet for the correct number of brown envelopes.

It's a tactic that has been tested and proven to work on migeul and co.

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.

In the meantime is it too much to expect professional journalists from accurately reporting the ownership structure of our club? Sheikh Mansour has business interests all over the world including a major stake in the car firm Ferrari but you don't hear people referring to that as being "state owned."

Some very good points. I would argue that Khaldoon is the face of City and he is regularly seen in attendance. Mansour put his top man in charge. We are an investment not a photo opportunity.

yes but Ferrari haven't rendered the rags as irrelevant .

The point is City are just one of his many investments in his personal portfolio.
He also invests for a living for AD so many, many stakes in diverse sectors of global stock exchanges.

Why should we expect his attendance? Are we really that special compared to others and if so would he leave himself open to giving us special treatment perhaps giving ammo to those who claim our purchase was purely political.

Two women have a fight. One won. The other goes running to the papers

Journos would be better hanging around outside any kebab shop around midnight. Far more newsworthy shit happening there.

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.

So Mancunians are thick are they ?

I’m really looking forward to the ethical media blackout of the Qatar World Cup. I’m sure none of the media will step foot in Qatar nor want to be a part of legitimising such a regime. Of course in reality the morally bankrupt fuckers will take every bit of hospitality on offer, every freebie going and lap it up... they’ll all be over there on a jolly. But of course, once it’s done they’ll reserve the right to woman later and criticise from afar ...the hypocritical wankers.

They posted the Russia isn't safe and everyone will get battered if they go etc etc for months before ...didnt stop them all lapping up the corporate gifts .
I know lads who went and said it was a great tournament with no bother anywhere......did the media apologie afterwards...I'll let you answer that

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.

Imagine the headlines if he was found out:

'Actor revealed Fakey Sheikhy Part.'
