Interesting, I wonder what our Carlos has got in mind.
From David Walker
This post is not about any kind of point scoring, it’s just stating facts.
Sheikh Mansour, Abu Dhabi and City are wrongly vilified by rivals and a mass media, all too happy to peddle anti-City propaganda.
In the present desperate climate of the loss of lives, fear and uncertainty caused by #Covid19, City is doing its part to try and help.
I offer no spin on anything other than to state:
1. Sheikh Mansour is the patron of the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company ADNEC - which own the ExCel Centre in London - now the NHS Nightingale Hospital, set up to treat #Covid19 patients. As far as I am aware, the NHS is not paying ExCel for the usage of the facility.
2. City have opened its doors and made the Etihad Stadium available to the NHS for free usage during the pandemic.
3. Pep Guardiola has given €1m to help combat the coronavirus in Spain.
4. City has paid all of its casual workers up to what would’ve been the end of the 2019/20 season.
5. City has contributed 50% to the £100,000 donated to help food banks in Manchester.
Hopefully the club and the playing staff will step up and do more in the coming days and weeks, as we have yet to witness the worst effects of the #coronavirus.
Yes, some people have been complaining about direct debits being taken for the final instalments of payment for the 2019/20 season tickets, but this money will be refunded or taken off the future price of matches, if fixtures are declared null and void or, alternatively, played behind closed doors.
Rather than criticise, let’s take a step back to take a measure of pride in what our club has, and is, doing during this time of crisis.
Fuck that I need my £40 refund:)
Watched the Olympics boxing finals in the Nightingale site and signed up for the London Marathon (many years ago). The good times will come again but I don’t think the marathon organisers will be seeing me again lol.
Come on Tim - me and you London marathon in 3 years? Fancy it?
