The Sunday Supplement thread 2014/15

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Dearie me....I must have been watching a different Sunday Supplement than everybody else today. The one I watched had that brainless fat geordie clown spending 10 minutes shoehorning a dozen references to Mancini and how it all went wrong when he left ( whilst completely ignoring the fact that we won two trophies last year ).

Yes I watched the same version as you,Custis can't stand us or our owners.

Undoubtedly, his bitterness comes in no small part from knowing that the City roller coaster of the last few years could have been his beloved Newcastle. They were very much in the frame for being taken over by ADUG. Apparantly, they were discounted because Mike Ashley wouldn't relinquish 50% control, and that wasn't an option for ADUG.
No wonder they love their owner so much. And to think, they could have seen a huge investment in the team, facilities and local area but Mr Ashley said no and the signed a deal with Wonga!

I think Pellegrini is a journalist's nightmare as well - it's almost impossible to get an interesting story out of him.

You can see why Custis preferred the Mancini days. It was like having a young Balotelli as manager, charismatic as fuck but half bonkers. To get a great story, all the journos had to do was turn up.

The club then also leaked stories like a sieve. Now, however, journalists have to pass through strict controls to access players and are reduced to writing about the football, which, oddly, given that is their job, many are loathed to do.

Manchester United owners the Glazer family are 'the evil of football', say Sunday Supplement panel

Manchester United owners the Glazers are an example of the ‘evil in football’, according to the Sunday Supplement panel.

Ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday, Neil Custis of The Sun and the Daily Telegraph’s Matt Law praised the Manchester City ownership for the way they have transformed the club, criticising the Financial Fair Play rules for stopping other ambitious clubs from being able to follow their example and citing the situation of the Glazers at Old Trafford as the bigger danger to football.

Custis argued City’s Abu Dhabi owners should be ‘applauded’ rather than being hit by fines for attempting to build the club.

“If UEFA and FIFA want to look at anything they should be looking at how the Glazers can take over Manchester United and take over £500m or £650m out,” Custis said.

“What Manchester City have done in Manchester is absolutely fantastic in terms of their training ground. It is sensational, they’ve rejuvenated an area of the city.

“What has been so evil about what Manchester City have done? Manchester United have actually spent more money than Manchester City over the past three years, City should not be hit by this.

“The evil in football is what the Glazers have done to Manchester United in taking all that money out of them.”

Law agreed and questioned whether Premier League clubs will be able to attract similar owners now that FFP has come into force. He also doubted Sheikh Mansour would have invested in City had it come into play sooner.

“Look at all the Premier League clubs that are essentially up for sale: Everton, Aston Villa and maybe Newcastle,” he said.

“They won’t get new owners easily now because who is going to look at it and think ‘I want a piece of that’? Even if you’ve got a lot of money you can’t really put it all in to have a good go.

“If Financial Fair Play had come in a bit earlier would Abu Dhabi have come in for Manchester City? Probably not, because what would they have been able to do with it. It has totally killed the dream for most clubs.”

Talk about 180's...

Yes said some nice things about the Academy but couldn't resist the usual dig about ageing players and Aguero not scoring in 6 games,mans a fat prick!

He's not wrong though is he.

Yes he is wrong,Italy won the World Cup with ageing players must be awful to be classed as old at 29!

The World Cup is 7 games , a lot different from a season fighting for 4 trophies. You need a balanced squad and City just need to bring a few youngsters into the squad. It's not the disaster waiting to happen that the press would have you believe.

The sad thing is a decent journalist would have had a bit of foresight. It was only Martin Samuel that stuck up for City. Although these comments are welcome , it's two or three years too late. These journos are just swimming with the tide as usual !
