We should refrain from attacking Conn on the grounds that he's a turncoat. If City are guilty of what he accuses us of, he's perfectly entitled to make criticisms.
On the other hand, when he's a risible fucking idiot trying to push a laughably unconvincing political agenda* and using our club to do so at the expense of factual accuracy, we have every right to criticise. And that's the case right at the moment. He's trying to use the leverage of an undeserved reputation among his peers to gain credibility for the factually inaccurate shit he's currently peddling.
Have a go at him for the latter. If we attack him for supposedly being a City fan and turning against us, it makes us look like a bunch of dickheads.
For the record, I curse that we're his supposed boyhood team. I wish he'd supported Villa, Wednesday, Newcastle or whoever, and then I'd have been spared the welter of crap he's produced about my club to try and substantiate his half-baked outpourings.
But let's make sure that if we knock him, it's on point. It's hard enough to gain credibility in this hostile environment anyway, but if we argue like twats, we compound the difficulty.
* - Not looking for a political argument here, but I happened to vote Remain, would have done so at any point until the end of last month and still believe in my position. But Conn's article the other day referencing Brexit was one of the most moronic things I've ever seen in my life.
Now this is something we can legitimately give him stick for. Today, his Twitter output on this topic has been a joke.
He did support us he wrote a book about it. Any football fan knows you can't just stop supporting a club, it's in your blood. Also any person with a modicum of intelligence knows why ffp was set up so why defend it?
Conn has completely lost his head on this, and needs to be advised to take a couple of weeks off to cool down - he's just waffling incoherently now, apparently in some desperate need to seize the narrative on this story, but with less and less to add of genuine value or insight with every additional article he posts.
He's allowed his emotions to stray into his reporting, and someone needs to take his laptop off him before he has a public meltdown over City's compliance (or otherwise) with FFP.
Its painful to watch a grown man behaving like this!
I write as a football fan not a journalist or politician and as such I will attack him for turning on my....and supposedly his club. Whether he is proved right or not is irrelevant to me. He is doing his utmost to help sully the reputation of my club and damage it.

Someone bought me his book, I fucking burned itI’ve read his book “Richer Than God” the constant references to FC United got on my nerves but I had to skip the entire chapter which he dedicated to them!
