If the rags really do feed this transfer shit to the media, they are simply shooting themselves in the foot. Personally I doubt they are that stupid. Even those with the required faculty impairment to work for the club can work out that it just exposes them to ridicule.

I think this is an example of the press doing them a serious disservice, which is absolutely fine by me.
 
I did notice that Jake Humphrey had a dig about the amount of money the rags have spent since GPC retired.

About bloody time someone did!
 
The word 'foreseeable' sort of undermines your argument a bit, doesn't it? :-)

Have to agree with this. Just watched an old interview with Swales from December 1989, on Saint & Greavsie. He'd just sacked Mel Machin. That afternoon we were about to lose 1-4 to Liverpool. Which got me thinking. For people who've been going since before then, imagine that evening being told either of the following. After this season (1989-90) between now and 2015, City will win 2 more titles than Liverpool (and be outside the top division for 5 seasons, becoming only the second team to ever win a European trophy and play in their country's third tier) or that Liverpool will not win any league titles over that same 25 year period. We'd have all said that was impossible. It would certainly have been unforeseeable.
 
Ha, that 700 million figure is absolute bollocks from the ministry of red propaganda. 1 in 10 of the world's population follow utd?? I reckon not much more than 1 in 10 of the world's population follow football full stop. Amazing as well that they had 30,000 empty seats on Tuesday with all these millions of fans.

They are not fans, they are followers. Big difference.

And, whilst you know and I know that the figure is largely bollocks, what we think is pretty irrelevant compared to those signing the sponsorship and advertising revenue cheques - and these people tend to inhabit a very different world and one in which whether the seat is empty or not is not at all important - was it sold? - that's the key question.
