I have seen Stone’s notes. Summary:
Football Writing Festival 2023: back for a ninth year | National Football Museum
The Football Writing Festival returns to Manchester for its ninth year, featuring more talks and better value than ever before.www.nationalfootballmuseum.com
Roll up, roll up to hear David Ornstein, Shamoon Hafeez, plus our very own Sam Lee talk about the evolution of the transfer market.
Then there's Adam Crafton, Carl Anka (another united shill at the Athletic), Guardian writer Sanny Rudravajhala and - drum roll, wait for it - Simon Stone talk about "geopolitical and increasingly controversial implications of football club ownership".
That latter one is just 4 weeks tonight. Can't fucking wait.
1. All Arabs cheat
2. Mansour is the worst of the lot, buying 20,000 tickets for all Etihad games, over inflating sponsorships, wearing a blue shirt.
3. Don’t believe City’s accounts.
4. I may make an exception to point 1 if yoonited are sold and justify it with sophistry.
