Correct although still can't work out why the bomb scare happened. What was the benefit for the rags. And why was there no fall out from the press about it?
The benefit for the rags was this.
City and them were involved in an a last day champs league qualification cliff hanger
We were at Swansea,needing a draw
Utd at home to palace needing a win
Shortly befoe k.o ....utd announce their game is off.security alert/bomb scare....
All the pressure on City with a bent ref at Swansea....if we slipped up,the formality of a re arranged utd home match with a 'kind' ref ,courtesy of pigmol..and..UTD STORM BACK INTO CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AT THE EXPENSE OF CITY!!
headlines...
I travelled to Swansea that day.it waa a tense,nervy affair...my thoughts on the ref dont matter...we won,and cemented 4th spot..
The whole thing was pre-ordained,with the intention of putting City under real pressure,at the whim of a bent official. It didnt work...but the plan was there.
That led to the then meaningless end of season game at the swamp where no one turned up,the third tier was closed
Nobody remembers all this cos it waa the last match of the season.....when all sorts of deals are done,ask Herra about his time in Spanish football...the press fell silent over this,as they did when wayne rooneys dad was arrested over match fixing,as they did when utd called off their match due to a bomb hoax...the only way of not fulfilling their fixtures without being penalised by the league.....they well and truly do what they want.
Despicaple club,players manager and all.
