Financial might provided by the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund? Stopped reading at that point.

Good decision.

"City’s financial dominance, buttressed not by an absent billionaire but by an entire state, "

"City know that they’ll never be as big as United or as loved as Liverpool or as cool as Paris Saint-Germain."

"at some point the City era will come to an end. And yet the forces that helped them to flourish in the first place – weak regulation, a lack of oversight, the moral desertion that allows repressive states to own cherished community assets – will not."

Edit: Written by Jonathan Liew, the Spurs fan BTW.

The forces that helped us flourish were what the cartel put in place in order to try and guarantee themselves perpetual success. This always gets overlooked when these nonces bemoan our present standing in the game - and try and evaluate how it came to pass.

The weak regulation, the lack of oversight and the moral desertion all flowed from the establishment clubs creating that landscape for their own ends. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate this is too ignorant and/or too thick to be taken seriously. Or maybe he does, but elects to ignore it, which makes him dishonest.

Either way he’s an embarrassing ****.

As to this:
"City know that they’ll never be as big as United or as loved as Liverpool or as cool as Paris Saint-Germain."

1. As big as united - don’t give a flying fuck
2. As loved as Liverpool - seriously?
3 As cool as PSG - not sure what metric he’s applied here

Embarrassing ****.

Why the ruthlessly brilliant, widely unpopular Man City deserve our respect

Pep Guardiola has created a team that defends in swarms, manipulates space and restricts their opponents options – yet the side’s success is often derided.

Plenty of lies in this article. We are still not funded by a Sovereign Wealth Fund or owned by a state no matter how many times Guardian journalists repeat the trope without a shred of evidence. I wonder what the Chinese and US investors who own 25 per cent of our club think about these constant malicious comments. It must be news to the people at Silverlake as they continue to develop Europe's biggest indoor arena alongside our stadium.
 
I can remember Baddiel and Skinner getting Big Joe on for their ‘Phoenix from the Flames’ segment on Fantasy Football League, where they recreated weird/iconic moments from football history.
Cue a clearly embarrassed Joe reluctantly pacing out the penalty spot with B&S in Nutty Boy single file style to the sound of One Step Beyond by Madness.
Amazingly it doesn’t appear to exist anywhere on the internet

Clearly written to appeal to the ignorant fuckwit hoardes who " follow" the rags, dippers and other yank owned clubs.

An all-out attack of the usual Guardian tripes and cliches, hidden in the guise of gushing praise. The journalistic equivalent of a wolf in sheep’s clothing and a perfect example of the ‘shit sandwich’ I wrote about a few pages back

Ah, so Liew is still around is he?
Managed to avoid him since he used to appear on Neil Ashton’s Sky Sunday show.
He was always a grade A disappointment back then too.
