A New Season and More Media Frenzy - Lets do all that we can off the pitch.
The season is due to start and some in the media, as exemplified by a ludicrous headline in today`s Telegraph Sport relating to FFP /PSR, are stoking up the fires and irresponsibly exacerbating the divisions that already exist between followers of football.
Young Tom, Sports Correspondent for The Telegraph, mentioned `The elephant in the room`, a phrase that he does not understand. It is not the only matter where understanding is lacking, or where there are deliberate misunderstandings as part of the ongoing scurrilous campaign against us and our club.
Better examples of `The elephant in the room` are strange `rules` or interpretations that -
(a) allow Man u exceptional provisions in their accounts, 20 times more than the same for Arsenal, without which they would have failed PSR;
(b) do not punish a club when a match is postponed, Man u v Liverpool, due to health and safety failings and fans illegal disorder, violence against police and staff, and trespass; and
(c) permit vested interests, such as the company that worked for LFC to be the same company that scrutinised City`s accounts for the PL.
There are many more examples which others on here have raised previously.
We then have a situation where credence is given, rather than questioning by the click bait media, to an individual found guilty of attempted extortion, illegal access to data and breach of correspondence. The accusations against City primarily emanated from a criminal. Further along the line, this eventually resulted in the PL`s rushed publication of a full list of charges (prepared by a company that worked for LFC), with errors on the PL`s web site, the day before the Government`s stance on independent football regulation was to be considered.
We need to keep on promoting the many positives such as domestic treble winners, The Treble winners, 100 points, Four-in-a Row champions and Club World Champions. All what is so very good at City.
Let's not be on the back foot but instead go on the attack, highlight and repeat the lists of offences and issues at the redtops. Don`t let any of those red bastards off the hook. They are behind the charges, along with Spurs, and have been trying to destroy our club.
As we commence a long season ahead and City attempt a remarkable fifth consecutive PL title, our second Champions League win and an extensive Club World Cup, it is more important than ever that we stick together, get behind the team and do all what we can off the pitch.
