The reason why people reference us as oil money is because they can get away with it. It is a term which has been banded about by the media because they know they can without any reproductions on them. It is the ill educated who then keep recycling the term, which clearly has undercurrences of racism.
However, this rant from this person Alan Davies I believe? On this podcast.. well he has over stepped the mark and racial slurs against our owners.. action needs to be taken against him. You’ve all heard it.. this is what he has said.
“Get out of our league, you are not wanted here, you are not wanted. Sell up and leave. You’ve had you’re fun go away. No one wants the oil bastard money, no one wants to see this… “
Can you imagine that being said to Khaldoon Al Mubarak and his family or anybody else for that matter that we have welcomed into the City family since the takeover or way way before that?
You could argue this runs deeper… but I’m going to leave it there.
A letter will be drafted to the club tomorrow.
