In a crowded field, is there a bigger **** writing about City right now than Conn?
I hope he’s the first to be shown grovelling to the club and it’s supporters if we are proven to be innocent.
It’s quite amazing the work he put in regarding Hillsboro in an effort to show that Liverpool were innocent yet when the shit hits the fan regarding the club he supports, he’s the main instigator, stood in the front row, fingers dripping with it.
All the good work he’s done in the past counts for nothing anymore.

That Conn dude seems to despise your club with a passion. Why relate the City Cup victory with the money invested ? Real Madrid didn't win all their trophies because they were poor. The Great Milan of Berlusconi fall into the abyss after his cashflow stopped being funneled into the club. Those journos are acting as if most of the most successful clubs are not the most powerful ones on the economic side. They are either hypocritical or ignorant about this sport. And both are terrible for a journalist.

As someone else said, Conn is being a bit disingenuous there.

PB needs to have a word with his mate!

Ah but these clubs like to think they're special.

 

[Plain Speaking]

True. We have the example of FFP being changed to allow the Milan clubs to spend after changing owners while PSG and City had sanctions earlier for doing the same thing. Interestingly, City and PSG have done better than the Milan clubs since then, both on the pitch and financially.

Do you think there's any racial element to the different way they treat City and PSG?

He's supposed to support City too. Just our luck that the one journalist that could at least print our side of the story just leads the fight against us.

This could be interesting (or complete rubbish you never know with the BBC nowadays).

Just listened to it. It was just a basic explanation of why City are going to CAS and what CAS was. Tried to say they thought it unlikely that CAS would rule FFP as unfair.

Thanks saved me the bother of listening

No.

More like the old powers/old rich against the new richer money. Same way less rich nobles would despite way richer commoners who were trying to 'buy their way' into their class/caste. They felt the same way about Abramovitch but it took time to elaborate a scheme to stop other clubs doing the same thing.

Now, ask neutral fans, they see City and PSG as cheat and Chelsea as a legit big club. Pretty funny. The funniest thing is that among them are Chelsea fans despising both our clubs for what their own club did. They then say that the model has changed and they are sustainable now. Isn't it what our owners are doing too ? PSG 200 M QTA replace by Nike/Jordan, Accor and co. City looking for a new sponsor to replace (and upgrade) Etihad deal.

I'm thankful for our owners because even when they will leave, they'll let the club with strong structure, brand and income.
