Interview on BBC 10 O'clock news with Port Vale's owner, Carol Shananan, "yesterday Man City paid £65million for a player. That would run League 2 for a season".
Clearly she believes we are the only club who spends any money.

Maybe PV superfan should sell off a wing of his LA mansion to help em out?

Turned on TV. 1st thing scrolling on sky sports was we have spent 400 million on defenders under Pep. Never seen how much Rags have spent or how much Chelsea have spent on keepers. Also why mention our 65 million by lower league owners. Rags just had a 91 million bid rejected and been higher fees paid

I get she was trying to make a point of the financial disparity between the PL and the rest of the leagues. I agree with her on the general point but it was oh so fucking lazy of her to chuck our name in to the comment as it reinforces the common myth to the uneducated majority that we are the biggest spenders and we, by association, are ruining the game and are a heartless, money-driven business that doesn't give two fucks if every club from Altrincham to York City goes to the wall.

The annoying thing is this clueless woman won't have very much knowledge about what City have done for less fortunate clubs in the past but I doubt she is unaware of what condition Carrington was left in after the club's generous act towards Bury.
Vale have always seemed to be in one crisis or another for as long as I can remember and she isn't going to get sympathy off anyone in the PL by having a dig at any club.

There is one way to stop clubs from Leagues 1 and 2 and all the League's in the lower leagues out side the main 4 leagues from going bust That is to allow clubs from the Premier League to buy and control them. Yes this could throw up problems should they come up against a club they own.

All problems like this can easily be over come. All you have to do is put the ball back into the bag and draw another ball.

They're spitting feathers over the Dias signing, now it's our fault that non league clubs are struggling, nobody else's obviously.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

I'm not one for the agenda but has anyone been on skysports.com tonight. Top story, United. Then Everton. Then cricket. Then Newcastle. We don't even get a mention

[Neville Kneville]

Two rags in the studio, talking aboit Donny Van Bollocks then the presenter reading out the scores: 'a brace for Sterling & a goal for Ferran Torres, 37 million'.

BBC Live reporting (covering all 4 matches tonight). Not a single update for the last 20 minutes of our game. Post at 20:20 when 0-2, next post 20:50 "Full time, City win 0-3". No post even for 3rd goal.
Too busy following United I suppose.
