Up until Busby went to United, City were the senior club of Manchester. By a mile.

He built them up to our level and beyond through the 1950s and 60s. Then we overtook them again in the 70s.

Obviously we had a terrible three decades in the 80s 90s and 00s, while United became the much bigger club. It was ridiculous what Swales and Allison did to City in the late 70s.

But now we’re back up at their level and beyond.

spot on
they are not a self funding club that they like to think they are or was
before 1992 they was nothing like a so called big club ? if they was that big a club why was manchester city last winners of the title before the premier league was formed ?

i was talking to a mate the other week and said from the 1970s manchester city was and should have been the biggest manchester club now. but for swales and malcolm allison ego and the infighting city was only heading one way

The last winner of the title before the Premier League was formed was dirty Leeds.
 
We took the grandchildren to Whitby today. On the way, Mrs Vienna said, "There’s a field full of united fans down there. Well they’re sheep, anyway."

I pointed out that the sheep in the field were probably more intelligent than those, who infest the swamp on match days.

Later, we saw a family of three walking along a narrow road. The son was holding a surfboard horizontally and did nothing to move it as we approached in the car.

I then noticed that the man was wearing a Trafford red sox top, so I said, mainly to the kids, "There you are, I told you that rags are thick!"
 
There’s a thread on red cafe about oil funded clubs , are they ruining football?
thick twats seem to forget they started all the big spending , I can remember down the years how they bought nearly every emerging star player, Stuart Pearson, Ian Storey Moore , Ted Mcdougal ,loads more ,all bought by United other clubs had no chance !
After voting to keep the home gate money rather than divide it equally with the visiting teams ,they grew wealthy .
They let the genie out of the bottle ,now they don’t like it.
can someone with a red cafe account go and put them straight.
