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

Do we actually have a legit source for that or is it just a bluemoon rumour? Can't really imagine the cartel clubs wanting an independent regulator.

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.

.... 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.

Shame hes' hopeless as a music critic and interviewer. Too all about himself. Totally subjective with a chip on both shoulders.

Fantastic piece.
Paul Morley expresses beautifully, what we all feel.

I wouldn't sweat anything the BBC say...

They were right all along on Jimmy Savile, weren't they?

That's the one. Got it framed on my City wall. 3 frames actually. Too long for one :)

Yesterday the 'Today' programme did a piece with Kevin Parker and Kieron Maguire (Liverpool University). It benefited from Robinson not being in it. A lot of Robinson's comments may fall into the harmless banter category but it gets tiresome. I remember when Raheem Sterling was a guest editor and he kept banging on about him p!saying for the 'wrong' club in Manchester. Yesterday's piece had some redeeming features as MaGuire pointed out the charges in no way diminished our current achievements as they only go up to 2018 - a point missed by many in the media. He also pointed out that football fans are notorious for nothing up any adverse publicity in connection with their rivals. They used the term state-owned without any challenge which always irritates me. A politician would be unlikely to own a football club in the UK - but in other countries this does happen.When Berlusconi owned AS Milan - I can't remember it being referred to as state ownership. I don't want to compare Berlusconi with the sheikh but I think my point stands. It's another example of the media consistently distorting the truth until it becomes an accepted 'baby's which is then used by rival fans to spread the dirt.There is a huge question mark over these journalist's professional integrity which we should be worried about not only as City fans but as a wider issue - affecting the objectivity of any information we get from the media.

I see Simon Jordan and Jim White are getting ripped by some journo for their links to Danial Kinahan.

Very interesting

That's interesting what are the links?
