Eamonn Sweeney makes Miguel Delaney sound like the voice of reason. Best ignored.
Unbelievable. "Sordid". "Worst league ...". It is very hard to think that this is a genuine opinion, and not some satirical comment on the wild accusations that have been made about City. Not for the first time I realise that I am completely out of touch with current, mainstream "thought" (I use the term loosely). No, it can't be true - somebody is having us on and I fell for it! (Surely?)Don,t usually click on this shit, but curiosity got the better of me, how the hell do they get away with publishing this shit, thankfully rest of the article is behind a paywall so one can only imagine the nonsense spouted.

Isn't it strange how Saudi, qatari, UAE ownership of football clubs is a problem for some folk, but I'm sure these states own or have investments in many other parts of UK plc , but they are apparently not worth reporting on.UK govt can trade with these "nation states" and they can invest heavily in the UK economy, property, pension funds etc and there is very little media attention. Yet so many people writing on sports pages are indignant. I don’t understand
My impression is that his measured, intelligent manner and sensible analysis is not quite what they want. Which is a great pity.Sky replacing Souness next. Probably for some city hating YouTuber or ex Man U/Liverpool player. Should be a blue getting the next gig. I vote for Nedum.
Gonna miss Yosser. He wasn't the worst on Sky, not by a long way.Sky replacing Souness next. Probably for some city hating YouTuber or ex Man U/Liverpool player. Should be a blue getting the next gig. I vote for Nedum.
It's nothing but pure racism.The Guardian (or the sports department of it) has only one intention when it comes to City. To snipe at us and denigrate our success. The motives are not clear. Pander to the red masses to help sales? Could it be Rascism? (don’t seem quite so keen to call out clubs with Russian/Chinese etc interests).
Whatever. It’s a free world but it’s beyond me why any City fan would pay for this awful paper and fund what increasingly looks like an organised campaign against a Manchester (how ironic) club.
Sky are clearing out the pundits who were players in the 60s & 70s, & retired in the 80s.Sky replacing Souness next. Probably for some city hating YouTuber or ex Man U/Liverpool player. Should be a blue getting the next gig. I vote for Nedum.
I actually wrote to the Independent owners about that twat about a year ago.Unbelievable. "Sordid". "Worst league ...".

Dear Ms Gallagher
As I’m sure you’re aware, the Independent newspaper has long been a publication that has given a platform for Eamon Sweeney to publish his ridiculously biased articles where he expresses his hatred of Manchester City as often as he can. Whilst Mr Sweeney has every right to produce this bile it seems strange that a reputable media organisation such as yourselves are happy to publish articles that would be best suited to a Liverpool FC fanzine with no editorial standards. Whilst most reasonable City fans can accept justified criticism of some aspects of their club, this campaign by Mr Sweeney to delegitimise everything that Manchester City has ever achieved makes the Independent newspaper look like a rather pathetic publication that is more interested in getting “clicks” from Liverpool fans than reporting real news or informed opinion.
Kind regards

Yup, the classic corporate brush off!I actually wrote to the Independent owners about that twat about a year ago.
In spite of the polite response below they unsurprisingly took no notice.
