Over a decade of media hate, lies, untruths and bile against our club manifested itself into the scenes we saw on Thursday night at the Etihad.

The media are as much to blame, if not more so, for the appalling behaviour of the Liverpool fans, culminating in some poor young girl being scarred for life ..

Years of falsely reporting ..

False accounting ..
State owned..
Spend what we want..
Circumnavigating FFP..
Oil money..(whatever that means)

.. have fanned the flames of hate against our club to a now uncontrollable level..

The sad thing is that we are guilty of none of the above..!

What we are guilty of however is..

Identifying and putting into place a top class management structure from top to bottom..

Installing a way of playing throughout the club from the youth teams through to the first teams for both the men's and women's teams..

Investing in East Manchester and the surrounding areas on an industrial scale..

Spending within our means from day one to attract players such as Sergio, Aleks, David and Yaya, none of whom were world superstars at the time, in fact both David Silva and Yaya Toure were roundly slagged off and laughed at by talksport at the time as I recall..

These players, along with Vinny, Zab, Joe, Edin and Nige to name but a few provided the sound footings at the club, enabling us to grow and establish ourselves at the business end of the PL.

In all that time however, we're constantly being told that we were cheats who could basically spend what we wanted, do what we wanted and ride roughshod over everyone else..

Our trophies were tarnished and our achievements both on and off the field were looked upon with distain.

Years and years we've had to listen to and put up with this shit..

For any lurking haters I'll tell you what we are..

We are the benchmark for every club in world football..

A club who's playing style is now mimicked from grassroots to world cup winners..

The best run football club in the world bar none..

The CFG family is a thing of beauty, giving genuine football fans all over the globe a chance to dream and hopefully enjoy some of the good times my club has given me..

We've broken no rules and we've earned everything we've achieved to date..

What the media have managed to achieve over this time however, by their false and damaging reporting, is an out of control hatred of Manchester City Football Club.

As a football fan of this club, I've had to put up with this over the years, my club, one could think could have worked harder in the early days to dilute the situation we now find ourselves in.

Maybe they did, maybe they were just ignored.

Having recently received an email from them however, requesting that I show respect to Liverpool when they visit our stadium, knowing all along that no respect would be given by them was a bit hard to swallow..

I can't understand why we would want to be associated with them as they, quite rightly, have the worst reputation throughout the footballing world.

Why would we want to let our good name be attached to them ?

When you have their manager openly saying on SKYsports that "it's a bad day for football" when we were quite rightly cleared at CAS of all the false allegations levied at us and then not immediately being corrected by the interviewer, this just added to the media narrative to disrespect and damage my club..

We were rightfully cleared but still reported upon as being cheats..

It's unbelievable really..!

Until the media, as a whole, start reporting on what's actually going on and roundly go after the real perpetrators of hate nothing will change and as sure as night follows day, death will not be far away from the red side of Merseyside once again.!

The media will then be seen hand wringing, staring at their navels and shouting from the rooftops to one and all "how has this happened".?

Top advice that I'll be following my friend..!

All the best to all the City fans on here for Christmas and the New Year..!
 
For me the biggest achievement has been the construction of the Etihad Campus on contaminated land in an area surrounded by dereliction to create a world class facility unmatched by many who developed on green field sites.

Not enough credit has been given even though City have been the catalyst of regeneration across a huge area.

Not unbelievable really. The 20 years leading up to our takeover were dominated by red shirts. Kids and youths growing up in that era aligned themselves to those clubs because going to school was much easier if your club was always winning. Those kids are now in positions of power in the media so it is no surprise that they dislike a team that is now dominating their darlings.
