He broke the British transfer record more times than any other club.It's even more amazing they never spouted this nonsense in the 90's when Fergie was buying the league season after season, Rooney , Ferdinand, etc.
We probably didn’t notice back then as the way we consume media is completely different to how we do it now. Not everyone had Sky in the 90s and there wasn’t any rolling 24 hour sports news like they have now, you wanted to read about football you’d have to buy a paper, if you didn’t have any of that it was Match of the day when more often or not we’d always be on last.
You look at what we have now with the explosion of social media platforms, pretty much anyone can set up and start running a page, You Tube channel etc and start pumping out their view of the footballing world. More often than not this is done by rag and dipper supporters. There’s that much content required to fill a platform pretty much any old shite gets published which turns it into a fanzine. You only have to look at Sky sports who employ Melissa Reddy as one of their chief reporters, she came from one of the Liverpool fan channels which shows how amateur Sky are these days.
dont worry IF and big IF the rules are scrapped or encourage investemt it'll all be down to the media boy's campaigning for itLooking at the comments of the Crystal Palace co owner it’s a sad indictment of the British MSM that apart from Martin Samuel no other journalist has called out the cartels attempts to stifle competition.
City yesterday, Newcastle and Forest today, Villa tomorrow?. Not a word of protest.
But that would take bravery as you would have to face the mob rather than running with them. Far easier to play to the gallery in an attempt to make money from the histree teams in red.
Yep, I've always thought it was a lazy stereotype that all American owners were the same. This bloke at Palace and McElhenney and Reynolds (granted Reynolds is Canadian!) at Wrexham are in favour of investing money in order to grow their clubs. I'd also put Randy Lerner in that category when he first took over Villa.
It seems the American owners are not a bloc after all - he's invested in a “small” club and now wants to compete through further investment. Ownership at United, Liverpool and Arsenal are all about return on investment, restricting competition and defending their privileged positions as “big clubs”. Hopefully more “small” clubs are seeing this and will speak out. You do sense the tide is turning.
The Government and Opposition want Masters out. They want as much overseas investment as possible in the UK. They have had his card marked for at least three years.Its getting interesting now, and these whole charges that have been thrown at ourselves, everton and forest have to started to get the lid lifted on the whole saga
No wonder masters (who i believe was shoe horned into the job because he had no problem in allowing the red top clubs still attain control over the league decision making) is trying to fight it - on behalf of you know who (owners)
If the new regulator comes in and those words of Frazer hold true, its game over for the yanks who categorically do not want to invest in clubs for long term success...they want quick ROI to line their own pockets and milk the league for capital/revenue
The regulator stance would mean the likes of newcastle, everton and many other clubs (with wealthy owners) can start to invest at a rate that would allow growth and on-field success - just how it should be
The red top yank owners are shitting their pants and clinging on.
We need more vocal chairmen to start opposing the current illegal and corrupt rules that stop legitimate owner investment into their clubs
I believe it was 8 or 9 times before he won a potHe broke the British transfer record more times than any other club.
It is all about driving audience. Negative City stories get huge traffic from the vast fanbases of LFC and MUFC. Apart from a few racist toxic individuals it is a commercial bias which prompts the negative coverage of City.We probably didn’t notice back then as the way we consume media is completely different to how we do it now.
