80s Shorts said:Damocles said:80s Shorts said:How can you be so bothered about these people who apparently know fuck all and presumably are embarrassing themselves with every next utterance on our financial situation. Let the fuckers hang themselves.
Because these fuckers go on TalkSport for example as an "expert opinion".
Now 100,000 people "know" that City are going to fail FFP because they've heard an "expert".
Now instead of correcting a single fuckwit, you have to correct 100,000 fuckwits parroting an opinion.
I don't enjoy being surrounded by fuckwits parroting their latest bullshit without bothering to find out whether it's right.
And when we don't fail they will feel silly or a little deflated.

He could not have made it clearer what he meant.
Conn is a man who knows a great deal about football, City and finances yet has decided to dedicate this knowledge towards his ideology.
His ideology is not shared by me and I feel that it often taints his opinion and his objectivism to the point of shaping debates to suit.

I think you are kind of missing the point. When we don't fail FFP, articles like these will just make people think we must have cheated and they will hate us even more. You might say so what, But that's really rather shortsighted. Building a successful business and worldwide brand is about attracting people to you because they respect and admire you. This is not made easier if large sections of the populous are brainwashed into thinking we are cheating twats.
It is no coincidence that the most successful manager the UK has ever seen chose to keep the media under such a tight reign. It's because he understood entirely the importance of keeping the club portrayed in the best light at all times.
sorry but how do you know it hasn't? brand image is absolutely massive, why else do you think we've overtaken chelski if not for the fact that their players and staff are so bloody unlikable? for all you or I know that turnover figure could have been 10-15% higher without the constant storm of shit we've had to endure from the media over the last 5 years.80s Shorts said:Chippy_boy said:80s Shorts said:And when we don't fail they will feel silly or a little deflated.

Which people will think we,ve cheated, which people will hate us even more ? Scum fans ? Arse fans ? Dippers ? at what point do we get these people "on board". Never obviously.
The "worldwide brand" does not seem to be being harmed by the usual tabloid shite, as seen in the latest financial projections.
As far as your last paragraph, it is widely acknowledged that the scum under purple nose was one of the most hated clubs in the country outside their own fan base. He didn't care if they were hated or not and it made little difference to his success.

that's why I care. tell me something, why don't you?
and you can't see that our club being badmouthed in the press damages the efforts put in on and off the pitch and you think I'm laughable?80s Shorts said:aguero93:20 said:sorry but how do you know it hasn't? brand image is absolutely massive, why else do you think we've overtaken chelski if not for the fact that their players and staff are so bloody unlikable? for all you or I know that turnover figure could have been 10-15% higher without the constant storm of shit we've had to endure from the media over the last 5 years.80s Shorts said:Which people will think we,ve cheated, which people will hate us even more ?

and for all you know it would not have been.
So in your opinion we have overtaken Chelsea's turnover because nobody likes them ?!
Rather than the fact that we are being run both on and off the pitch impeccably. You really think that. Laughable.
