Sadly I have lost interest in football I am hoping it is temporary but who knows? I work in Social Care and less than a year ago many vulnerable people were forced out of hospital, sent back to endanger other residents. Doctors and ambulances refused to visit and they were left to die with minimal if any care. No press outcry, no Boris Johnson saying he is going to anything to stop it, no public anger. Yet we suggest moving from one corrupt uncompetitive league to another corrupt non-competitive league and look at the what happens.

Your post took me by surprise. I didn't expect to read something like this scrolling the pages. Such a sad story and one that I am familiar with from friends who also work in the care sector. Should have shaken the whole nation into a gigantic wave of rage but sadly it barely made a ripple.

I hope you're doing alright, mate.

IAN HERBERT: Sheikh Mansour might be the unlikely saviour of football

IAN HERBERT: From Day One, the very point of Abu Dhabi buying Manchester City was reputation and image. Winning friends and influencing people - it was never about the money.

Just 3 days ago, PR like this was unthinkable, absolutely unthinkable. The focus of the world is now on Arsenal, Liverpool and United as the drivers of this power grab. Our enemies are now in football’s crosshairs and we are getting articles suggesting we saved football? We’re not innocent in all of this but if that’s not a PR win, I don’t know what is!

City planting a story with their favoured reporter in the world's most hated newspaper is nor a massive PR win.

In fact it makes us look even more grotesquely out of touch.

Anybody who thinks we’ve played a blinder in all of this is just trying to paper over the poor lack of judgement by the club IMO - in hindsight, imagine we were sat here today and it was 11 clubs instead of 12 because City had refused to join. It would have been the biggest step forward in the press for our ownership since it happened in 2008. The club made a big mistake, it’s been rectified, but we are in the same boat as the other 5 PL clubs on this one.

That’s absolutely true in hindsight but this will have been cloak and dagger from the start. Imagine Bayern PSG and Dortmund would have joined as United, RM & Liverpool wanted. This would have actually taken off no doubt and we’d have been left behind. We don’t have the power of Bayern Munich yet.

Unfortunately for him, this is 2 attempts to stage a coup in 1 year. "Project Big Picture" was less than a year ago and now he has spearheaded this.

That's probably the best thing to come out of all this is that the American owners power and influence within the league has now become seriously diminished
