Karen Brady has just been on BBC Breakfast talking about COVID impact on football finances. She trotted out the usual "some clubs are owned by sovereign states" nonsense again.

Somebody needs a word in her ear and get her to retract that statement in public. Unless of course she is talking about other clubs in which case I don't give a shit

Typical BBC have a headline on the web page that a rag player has been called up to the Women's England squad. With the eye-catching, (nauseating) accompanying red scum shirt photo.

The article goes on to list the full twenty-nine player squad, of which four are rags.

It fails to mention that City have a record-breaking twelve players in the squad.

She is just repeating the racist narrative which suggests that because our owner is a wealthy Arab the club must be run by the Abu Dhabi government. We have just been through an 18 month legal battle with UEFA which comprehensively shot that malicious claim down in flames. So why no challenge from the BBC reporter?
Can you imagine if pundits started to refer to Chelsea or United as being "backed by Israel" because their owners are Jewish and have strong links to Government figures in Israel (especially Abramovich). You can't imagine it because it would never happen. People like Brady, who is backed by porn barons, sicken me.

She'll be a regular on talksport soon with that kind of talk.

They need to learn to spell then!

“ I’m just a boy who’s dream came true.”

Part of the job is to make the communication sound and feel genuine.

I wonder if Saint Marcus will get the Jimmy Carr treatment for being part of a tax avoidance scheme?
