I notice, with interest, the term “poor business owners” isn’t one of things that ever gets said…and that’s all our ownership cares about!You do realise our owners have already been targeted don't you?
Daily, weekly and monthly, much more when we win the league or a cup.
I can't see what the journalists over here have missed to target our owners.
We've had...
State run.
Oil money.
Sportswashing.
Blood on our hands.
Financial doping.
The war in Yemen.
Human rights abuse.
Ruining football.
Buying leagues.
Altering emails.
Cooking the books.
Lying about sponsorship deals.
Have I missed anything?
There is a (uniquely?) British trait that if you feel like you can’t harm someone/something because they’re relatively impervious to your ire, by being above it (financially or simply because nothing you say can harm them!), then the sniping gets worse and worse!
In fact, I would say the media is apoplectic that no matter what you throw at City, the owners don’t say anything!
When needed, they have their lawyers speak for them, but otherwise, outside of the Chairman’s Annual Post Season interview, our owners say NOTHING.
Instead, they have simply bought, invested in, and built the best run club in the WORLD, as the focal point of a global football brand that will print money long into the future.
Sheikh Mansour has quietly turned £200M into £3Bn, and the parochial numpties in the media HATE that!
