Oh Dear...and here's what you could've won

I don't see the problem with highlighting this.

With all the self righteous behaviour shown by anyone from Bobby Charlton to Platini, what would have happened if we hadn't been bought?

What if the Sheikh had bought that lot? Pound to a pinch of shit there'd be no FFP for a start.
There'd be the cosy sly four, and we'd be plugging away with the likes of Ish Miller, Ireland, Jordan, Barton etc...may even be in administration by now.

I would bet my house on it.

Am I right in remembering FFP was only introduced AFTER HH Sheikh Mansour bought City?

Yeah that's all we need....."Etihad/Mansour wanted us not you" to go along with "he's signed for the wrong Manchester team" and "he snubbed City to sign for scum" etc......

Delete thread before the Salfords see it.

Salfords? Old Trafford is in Trafford and their biggest concentration of seasoncard holders come from Ashton upon Mersey in Sale.

Yeah too right! We would have ALWAYS been in their dark shadow but, alas, it is WE who are the new torch-bearers.
Great find

Good point!

On the other hand,it clearly shows that they were greedy tossers holding
out for a bigger deal that laughably never materialised. I don't think they'll
be crowing about that,do you?

It's good and proves Etihad were trying to get a sponsorship deal with a premier league football team before the Sheik was even a sparkle in our eyes! It even mentions flights between Manchester and Abu Dhabi as one of the reasons, as Etihad did when announcing our deal.

Nothing to see here FIFA, now piss off.
