Red Cafe in meltdown

[Roachy]

Many of the comments are genuinely funny, it is the inability to be objective in any way at all. A few are decent and live in the real world but a great many are just shell shocked for lack of a better phrase. Especially when it regards how good we are. They refuse to accept that our current midfield could possibly be close to Barca's midfield of Xavi and Iniesta circa 2009-ish or indeed we as an 11 individually are not that great, we just fit Peps system. Pep is just a checkbook manager though to many on there who just buys a whole new team when it is not working.

So they can't understand why we are great but acknowledge we are much better than others with Pep a fraud who just buys new players but also improves current players.

It is all so clear to me now.

With you on that. A few demonstrate resignation at their position compared to ours. I hear their spite as well, and it's like music to my ears.

Aahh piddy the foos who have to watch that tripe every week.

Carrying on the Florence theme they have a speciality there made from cows bladder called lampredotto. Would be funny to let it be known we are looking at Italian lad Lamprodetto,
and the Rags put in a bid for the tripe.

That would be an advance. They’ve previously bought without thinking how they’d accommodate the new player into their system.

Football is boring now but it would be pretty interesting to see what would happen if everyone refused to play City.

So that's what they were doing last Sunday.

Money is ruining football.

If it isn't them spending it.

I take it that poster felt the same way when they were winning everything, and buying up every bit of young talent due their wealth?

They simply then argue it was honestly earned cash. Every club’s fans (including ourselves) have a way of rationalising everything.

Many years ago, Mrs Vienna’s dad ran three teams from the Old Cock in Stretford. Each year he’d ask a footballer along to do the presentations at the annual dinner. One year, some of the lads complained that he always asked City players, so he asked the ticket tout. "Yes, I’ll do it, but I want £1000".

Mrs V's dad told him no thanks and asked Alan Ball, who refused to take any expenses over the meal for himself and his wife.

My lad's team won the school's five-a-side cup years ago. The headmaster asked City and the rags if someone could attend the presentation evening,City sent Redmond,Moulden,McNab and White. The rags sent five ball point pens with "Red Devils" and the rag badge on.

I expect he was in his dad's ball-bag back then.

That's pretty much it.

They really aren't on top of any of this over at the café......

The lengths most City and PSG fans will go to vindicate their clubs’ anti-sport immorality is hilarious.


Certain clubs and organisations are a disgrace to the sport.


PSG’s and City’s owners ARE a disgrace to football though. Everyone knows it.



Why do other clubs not come out and threaten legal action? This has to be stopped.


The silence from UEFA is so heart rending. Are going to sweep this one under the carpet once again? The media has a lot to do in ensuring that city gets due sanctions.


IF they were given a clean state and start again they'd have to sell players immediately to comply with FFP.
Their currently at an operating loss of 22.2m and only made a profit because of player sales.
City would probably be a mid table club within 2 years and even a relegation candidate due to the likely instability.


If the stadium expansion news is true then this gives the impression that Mansour isn't intending on going anywhere. This all creates further suspicion amongst the football community though. You would usually expand a stadium when demand for seats is outstripping supply. City are at their nadir & are still not selling out most games. Most will agree that this is another exercise to circumvent FFP restrictions.

As for selling City for what they are worth. This is muddled due to the Chinese investment. This investment valued City at £3 Bill. There are questions though. Were the Chinese investing by going off the financial figures that Mansour gave them or were they privy to the real figures that we are now seeing. No person in their right mind who knows anything about football & business would see City as a good investment in either the short or long term.



Why is it taking the authorities time to sanction Man City. Justice delayed is justice denied. These people are a stain on the game and must be banned from taking part in the business of football forthwith.


Will we be celebrating when they get a big points deduction and it means Liverpool win the league?


No. I'd rather Citeh won it - they're a nothing club hollowed out and filled with oil money, it means very little when they win stuff.

Liverpool, to be fair to them are a proper club, with a rich history, and they've waited decades to win the League - they'll be soooo annoying when they win it again.
