Oil money and Arab money city

[Bill]

nearly every column inch describes City in such a way.

Arab money, Oil dollars, megabucks...etc


if our owners had white skins and weren't Muslims i don't think we'd be referred to as this all the time.

you never here the source of other clubs "sugar daddies"

billionaires own a large percentage of Premier clubs, why don't we here their industry prefixing any description about their club ?

jealousy and fear i'm afraid.

Unfortunately it's a bit darker than jealousy and fear - and I think the op alluded to it. Plain and simple xenophobia.

Racist ;)

Unethical.

It's not the right way to run a football club. So say United, Arsenal, Bayern, Platini, UEFA, etc.

Actually Platini and UEFA have gone silent on the subject now the Qataris and PSG are about to announce a......(fillin as appropriate)

Without a doubt. I said this on here two or three years ago and nothing has changed. For as much as the 'agenda' gets crazy at times, it is without doubt that our owners are treated the way they are because of where they are from.

Sad, really.

I started a thread many moons ago about the media verging on being racist about comments like this. It used to wind me up but they will be licking our arses in 5 yrs.

Platini holds on to this romantic notion that football should not be a globalised game when it comes to ownership. He often mentions MCFC and Chelsea when demonising billionaire owners, but fails to mention that almost half of the Premier League is owned by foreign entities. And he certainly never mentions the Glazers or Fenway Sports.

Fucking hypocrite...

It works even managers quote how much our team is worth when they lose now imagine is we were owned by Richard Branson? Welcome to media manipulation we are hated for being us. Fook them!

entirely my sentiments mate. Said since we were first took over by 'The Arabs' this was the case. During the stoke game we were actually called terrorists by sections of their fans, couldn't believe it! But just goes to show how the media influence joe public. The mere fact that they ARE arabs and muslims frightens a lot of people and probably undestandably so. (i had a few pints tonight with a Salford Reds fan and apparantley they are being took over by 'Arabs'. Even though a life long fan he has sworn that he will never go again.) Me saying that it is the way of the world and that it works for us didn't help (he is a Manyoo fan of long standing).
Just goes to show folks...................!!!

Why should anybody be frightened by a Muslim/Arab ? Could you please explain that theory ?
