Here’s what you said in a post about the PL charges:

”I find it incredibly hard to believe that City of all clubs haven’t cheated over the past 14 or so years. It’s almost idiotic to believe otherwise.

Ironically, I think relegation would be a brilliant thing for the club. We’ve got to used to winning back to back titles and spending the casual 100 million. Maybe we need some slumber to remind newer fans of the troubles we had 40 years ago. Yeah, Pep (despite all comments) would probably leave, players and other staff following soon after.”

Here’s the link.

PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Genuine question…..why City of all clubs ? Do we have a rich history of cooking the books, cheating & general underhandedness ? Do our owners have that kind of reputation? Er - Peter Swales?

I call rag.

Fairly sure he was taking the piss.

Many of his posts are made from a sarcastic POV.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Biased Broadcasting Corpse, Nick ‘rag’ Robinson telling everyone that we are owned by Abu Dhabi.

Get him and Clive Myrie in a room together and they can fight it out.

There's only one winner ;-)

I reckon Clive's pretty handy on the quiet. He has that look about him and he is from Bolton after all!

It worked. :-(

The ‘State-Backed’ headline caught my eye.

Article origin. Paris.(arf!)

Excellent piece on Haaland here from lifelong Blue Paul Morley. Well worth a read.

Well that's weird. From AFP? City are "state-backed", whatever that means, but we were bought by ADUG which is "backed" by Mansour. Being careful with words or not understanding anything? Your choice.

Or maybe just lumping City and PSG together to make an irrelevant sporting point sound interesting?

I have sometimes wondered why ownership of the CFG changed from ADUG to Newton halfway through the PL investigation, though. Maybe there is something in it that was cleared up in a new structure.

Anyway, more likely AFP knows nothing, I suppose.

Wow!
To this City fan, that is the best article I've ever read about us.
Magnificent and very cleverly written.
Poetic.
Doffs cap to Mr Morley. I think he's captured how the majority of us feel about Haaland, Pep, and our beloved club.

Doffs cap to Mr Morley. I think he's captured how the majority of us feel about ..... our beloved club.

.... And it isn't the first time.

I didn't know Morley was a City fan. (Or maybe I didn't remember - thinking about it he would surely mention it in his massive book about the North.)

Seen him at a few games over the years. He wrote this about City, years ago:

City of Lost Souls - Manchester City, Man City - Bluemoon-MCFC

A superb article by the journalist Paul Morley on what it means to support Manchester City.
