I wouldn't want a city fan cheering on our game. I just want fair commentary not a fanzine channel.

Before the Good Sheik rolled up we were perennially ignored as 'once-did-wells' but since we have hardly had any element of balanced reporting, in fact some of the reporting has been downright abusive, totally misleading and often wholly dishonest. There are still a few in the football media who love the game rather than 'the tribe' but they are few and far between.

Perhaps not but the Gulf states are investing hugely in renewables because they want to keep their income streams. Sheikh Mansour himself has made a fortune from tech, finance, renewables, and of course sport. To suggest his motive for this is to improve his nation’s image is absurd. It is a farcical claim which does not stand up to scrutiny.

I completely agree with all that you’ve said I was just making the point that the much heralded ‘oil running out’ isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

Of all the claims made after the takeover, that was the most absurd and desperate, as it’s unlikely any of us will be alive when the UAE oil runs out.

I also hope he makes a full recovery, for his and his daughters' sakes. They are the innocent ones here and, having tragically lost their mother, need their father.

I believe he was one of the group who, for no good reason other than outright malice, tried to get me sacked from my job and I know another couple of City fans he and his cohort hounded into depression.

So I also hope he has cause, while hopefully recovering, to reflect on some of those actions, not just in his vindictive writing about us but more so on his personal abuse and harassment of individual City fans, and come out of it a better person.

He tried to get you sacked!

How so?

So true, but I doubt he will change and you are raising above it with your humane reflection on the events. That said, if you were my brother, or Father, he'd have to communicate via eye movement.

From the BBC

Ajax's 20-year-old Dutch striker Brian Brobbey says he rejected the chance to join Manchester United after his former boss Erik ten Hag sent him a message. (Voetbal International, via Star)

Don't fucking come here it's shit and an old pissed bloke keeps shouting at clouds.

That could be a reference to Howie Redshirt's new job.

That one always made me laugh too. Anyone who thinks someone could ‘get bored’ owning a football club, clearly doesn’t appreciate the game very much. I can’t imagine a better way to spend your working hours.

I can remember that, they were genuinely saying “He’ll dump City when he gets bored and buy a Formula 1 team instead”

The thick twats didn’t realise that (a) he already had a stake in Ferrari and
(b) there’s no need to buy an F1 team when you can afford to build an entirely new F1 circuit and create a new Grand Prix instead. While still keeping City on track.

Small time twats didn’t realise the levels they were dealing with
