TalkSport had one of the authors of the report on and completely disagreed with the premise that the redevelopment of the area was in any way wrong. They did allow him to spout his nonsense on sports washing but even then the author sounded like he was wearing his tinfoil hat.

Was it any surprise that he was from ‘Manchester’?

Any idea what show this was on?

I won't post the link to the rag, but one today has a pic on the back page, of Grealish diving into a pool, with the by line, ''Grealish Is A Diver!'' a bit of fun yeah, however at the same time ...

Subliminal message.

Why are they talking about the redevelopment of East Manchester on Talksport?

Been away but has anyone touched on the imminent departure of Vicky Kloss to.......spend time with her family.

Because we know who owns them they have loads of listeners so get the propaganda out there more! Keep the drip drip drip of negative narrative of everything Man City!

They also seem to have written their report from the point of view that there is a preferred option and then benchmarked the deals against that preferred option. So, in that context, the conclusions they have come up with are no surprise. To be fair, some of their conclusions make sense, as well.

Unfortunately for academics, (insofar as they exist in Sheffield), the real world is a complicated place and their have been some good posts on here which point out many factors that should also have been taken into account in their analysis.

Also, their subjective conclusions on the reputation of the UAE, and its effect on Manchester in the future, are one-sided and lacking in finesse. They should have left that to the internationally renowned (presumably) international relations faculty at the UoS.

Blinkered crackpot out.

The central claims in the report that the land was sold off cheaply are false though because they retrospectively apply values on the land when (prior to regeneration) it was worthless and no one wanted to buy it. The study only looks at the housing deal which is a small element of a huge long-term strategic plan for East Manchester. The claims made are absurd because they have excluded all the financial benefits provided from the project.

Could you imagine that area if City had not comitted to moving into the Commonwealth Games stadium?

The mind boggles as to how it would look today.

I was a bit bored so emailed the BBC about how they can justify the expense of sending Stone thousands of miles to cover friendlies yet the same company cannot even give its readers a score from City games, let alone a report.

This must be the response they send when they don’t have a sensible answer.

Rag Stone has another pathetic article up now, send your questions on Rags and Villa as they are currently playing a meaningless friendly. Shame he or no one else could be bothered with the Champions friendly the other day. I would be happy for the club to ban Stone from the ground and send Out the chef, kit man etc to do MOTD interviews . They deserve to be treated with utter distain
