That's over £900m & counting Fraudiola has spent in only 5 years. 3 leagues, only 1 FA cup and a few tea cups.
The guys actually underachieved! Should be on at least 2 more FA cups, 1 league title and at least 1 champions league(the trophy he was brought in to win) by now.

It's only the 26 City 'fans' who rate him as a good manager. He's nothing more than a cheque book manager.

Lol you can almost picture his bottom lip going in that last sentence. Is £900m even correct and how does that compare to other clubs in the last 5 years? If anyone can be bothered checking it.

Who gives a flying fart what "journalists" write about us?

I form my views on City from watching them play, their results and all those shiny trophies...

(I enjoy reading this media thread though. Some really weird agenda based beliefs!)

Villa fans Saying how wonderful their club is conducting themselves regarding the Transfer
Sounds like it's trying to cover their disappointment

And of course Talksport lapping it up
Turning the radio now

You`ll drive yourself mad looking for logic in the ravings of a village fucking idiot.

Haha the comments on the Simon Stone article are just as expected. The BBC comments certainly seem to attract a certain kind of outraged idiot.

The sycophancy towards United is sickening though. "To be fair they earn what they spend but City don't cos empty seats and stuff. They just spend their owners money and cook the books" Same old ill informed shite.

As is "They are turning the PL into the Scottish top flight or Liga". The PL has still been the most competitive top league in Europe in the last 10 years. 5 different names on the trophy, only one club managed consecutive titles(you know who). Look what's happened in Italy and Germany over the last 10 years by contrast.

Where have some of these idiots been anyway? Acting like the PL used to be more competitive. Since when? The creation of the PL and how the Sky money was introduced nearly killed the competitiveness of English football in the 90s. The first 10 years of the PL was one of the least competitive decades in topflight history thanks to United. As we know, the big sly 3 came into being due to unfair advantages(revenue splits) and the financial gulfs looked set to continue to widen, that was with or without foreign owners. I don't get why so many none big sly 3 fans hold this view, is it that they were happy only having 3 clubs to look up at, that were out of reach? They can't claim that would be more competitive either way. Releasing the monopoly the big Sly 3 were starting to have, was the best thing to happen to the PL.

For a change Simon Stone was quite constructive with his appraisal of the Grealish deal even mentioning how it was already funded through player sales etc.
I did like his last couple of paragraphs as well ......
"There is an argument Grealish is not even certain to start, given Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling are both capable of operating on the left flank where their new team-mate does his most effective work.

"That won't bother Guardiola. He will choose on merit, not on the size of a transfer fee. The only people who need to be concerned about this deal are City's rivals."

If you scan down the list of articles on Newsnow, they have it as 2 Billion rand.

Wait until they start quoting in Zimbabwe Dollars. There won't be enough zeros to fit on the screen.

Pep press conference at 1:30pm. Expecting a load of Messi and ‘City ruining football’ nonsense

Spot on. Nobody seemed to have a problem when United were winning 13 of the first 21 Premier League titles and smashing transfer records for fun.

 

[andthesunshineband]

We've only paid £89 million. We got £11 from the rags off the Sancho deal meaning we paid the same price as Pogba. ;-)

11 quid? That's good business ;-)

 

[Legal Alien]

Who was the second signing, is that official yet?

Didn't they get that CH Varane - £43m

They're pissed off because their little Top 4 clique has been broken up by us and chelsea.
The thing that makes me laugh is that all through the 80's especially, the scum were buying all other clubs best players to try and catch the dippers and yet we do it and it's suddenly ruined the game! They bang on about history, but they only use it when it suits their narrative...delusional cunts!

 

[mexico1970]

They hate us.

I want us to do things that will make them hate us more.

 

[Bozzie]

I had to pick Mrs Bozzie up last night. Jumped in the car and put Talksport on to listen to their take on Jack Grealish. I was just in time to hear Trevor Sinclair say "City are such a well run club that another club had to pay a million quid for hacking into their computer system".

 

[jrb]

Jack Greslish $igns for City article in the Daily United.

2,500 comments.

City are back!

The Daily United had to shoehorn a United reference into the headline and article.

But not the City fans/crowds in particular.

 

[LongsightM13]

I know plenty on here don’t like Rashford’s campaigning but if you want an eye opening example of how the media can operate with bad faith and an openly hostile agenda then this about how the increasingly far right fanzine The Spectator was pranked and mugged off is as hilarious as it is depressing

What ever happened to that Spectator article about Marcus Rashford?

You may recall the hoo-hah the other week about Marcus Rashford and a Spectator story.

Here you go

Ha ha, what a cock. The transfer 'experts' cough cough on sky are all annoying wankers. Hate the lot of them

 

[Blue Mist]

It' makes me laugh how the BBC and Sky push their sound bites about stopping online hate but at the same time, employ people who fuel hate with their blatant lies and twisted agendas

Raheem Sterling would agree with your post

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

I see the clueless deluded ex scouse drunk Aldridge is chatting his crap again today maybe if he actually did his homework he would know how we can afford Grealish and kane and stop begging for somebody to cap our spending the funking idiot.

Pep just said we have received nearly £60m in transfer fees since we last spent so it's around £40m additional to pay for JG. That should shut the fuckers up but it won't stop the agenda against us, Aldridge is one of the thickest twats going, just spouts absolute shite.

Yer mean he makes a noise?
