Hudds fan in peace.
Now the dust has settled a little bit I just wanted to pop on and say that not everyone is against you. I have been non-stop fighting your corner to all and sundry since the news broke as, at least as far as I'm concerned, this is nothing but a shady attempt at a monumental stitch up, and it's pretty clear who the accusers are, even if it is being disguised under the Premier League banner...all the other bits of news that have broken since do nothing but underline that belief. At least it helped them get that little rat Greenwood out of the headlines for a bit...
Beggars belief to me that a club with a £500million deficit on the bottom line of their bank statement can throw shade at a club with zero debt whatsoever. Stinks in all honesty.
I would normally end something like this by wishing you luck, but you'll fight this and you'll win this. You'll never lose the particular tags in the eyes of certain people, but fuck 'em. I'll come back when all this is done and drink a pint of their salty tears with you all. Get into them City.
Thanks you for the clarity you've shown. Even the honest Rag fans I know believe it's a blatant stitch-up to stop City.
However, seeing as they're the main beneficiaries of FFP & love nothing more than seeing shit hurled at City, they don't care. \0/
Arsenal, Liverpool, ManUre & Spuds ARE the Premier League. The rest of us just make up the numbers. If the PL was just those 4 playing each other every week without boring the world to death, they'd go for it.
Chelsea were grudgingly accepted into their club, but City owned by a Brown Muslim Billionaire oil man? No chance were the white American owned red tops going to accept this!
They also know the worst case scenario for them is an independent football regulator where they lose control of English football. They're TERRIFIED at the prospect.
HOWEVER, there's an even biggest threat which they fear the most... I'll happily campaign for the principles of FFP as long as it's equally applied to ALL UK industries?
Why should the Premier League be the only industry to care so much about the liquidity & finances of the businesses within their sector, & whether it's fair or not that a minted owner can invest his own money into his business?
Let's have FFP applied to EVERY UK business & then let's see how quickly it gets fucked off! It's the whole protectionist concept of FFP that's at fault, NOT MCFC trying to compete in a corrupt competition...
