I can think of one club who have done much, much worse things than City have ever done and been the subject of relentless media-washing for the past twenty five years. And, if you want to talk about "craven", so in fear of incurring the ire of their feral fans are they that there's not a media outlet out there which isn't stuffed to the gills with ex-employees of the said club as propaganda merchants and apologists.

As for fans as "brainless apologists", perhaps there are some of us who don't impose our hypocritical, simplistic and naive worldview on the manner in which other cultures manage their societies. Or maybe we're just not all supercilious ****s.

Is it just me that finds it difficult to read the last sentence without inserting scouse?
 
Matthew Syed is ripping his own reputation to shreds. The asterisk comment is just farcical. Leicester failed the FA FFP 2 years prior to winning the league, due to purchasing loads of players, but no one has (or should) try and claim that it is sullied.

Barcelona and Real Madrid screwed the Spanish tax system to enable them to sign and keep the top players - no thought of discrediting their CL titles.

Unfortunately it's pointless attempting to argue with him as he is guilty of the cognitive dissonance he claims affects every City fan.

"Cognitive dissonance" WTF ?
I'm an Harpurhey lad !!
 
I’m not sure if this has been asked before but what is the difference between one investor/owner and multiple investor/owners? Ie why can United spend money raised from multiple owners/investors, via the stock exchange, and we could not spend money from our owner/investor?
