The Sheikhs investment and City's subsequent success on and off the field shocked the cartel to their core.
They never thought it could happen,certainly never planned for it and would never have expected it to be City.
Ferguson in particular went into denial and belittled City at every opportunity. He was used to being top dog and getting his own way and simply couldn't and wouldn't accept that City were now a coming force.
The words "Knock them off their fucking perch" were probably haunting him.
He and the snake Gill led the insidious multiclub campaign against City through their established influence as a cartel club.
Ferguson is a bitter, vengeful bastard and its easy to picture him hectoring at anyone who'd listen, particularly his sycophantic pups in the media.
Imo, he started as our first and most irrational 'danger man' to be supplanted later by more 'intelligent' politicians.
Ferguson deserves to suffer every second of the rest of his miserable life whilst City continue to succeed at the cost of his vile club.
Fuck him and them !!
