I was at York on that sorry day. Probably the lowest day supporting City so far. I'm still here supporting City, not some made up club.
The irony is. Weren't United the first football club to be floated on the stock exchange? If they weren't they eventually went down that road. Didn't see these FCUM fans forming a club then. What were they doing when Fergie tried to take on the two Irish horse trainers, which eventually lead them to selling their stake in United to the Glazers.(I stand corrected) In no part due to Fergie's self belief that he could take on those two Irish billionaires and win. That's it, blame the Glazers, but turn a blind eye to Edwards and Fergie.
Ferguson and the Coolmore Group were best mates.
A Gentleman's Agreement is shook on regarding Rock of Gibraltor's share of winnings.
Coolmore decide to put the horse out to stud.
Ferguson (laughably) takes them to court.
He loses.
They think about selling the club.
Some halfwits from the Manchester Education Committee 'hijack' a race meeting and really fuck the Irish off.
The club is sold to the Glazers.
Make of that as you will.
