Well saidCompletely agree. We have been constantly dug out by the media. When you think Chelsea had won the league once before Abramovich took over...their slating for ruining football went on for about 2 years before it stopped. They beat FFP and were allowed a seat. Meanwhile we came along and got so much stick. We came from further back than Chelsea but the club has just allowed the negativity to persist.
Our brand is continually slated. The wider investment and positive contributions our owners have made just a token mention and then ignored. Even with this news breaking, I have only seen one or two stories that actually review the facts and look at what FFP is all about and how wrong it is as a concept. Fair enough United and Liverpool fans loving it, but no supporter of anyone outside those two should be supportive and should want City to win their appeal and bring UEFA and FFP crashing down with it.
We may have reported false revenue but we had the targets moved late in the day and subsequently got punished. We paid our fine took the reduced squad and moved on to try and maintain a relationship. But we warned them then we would be willing to take them down in the future and now is our chance.
Leicester, Wolves and Everton fans should be right behind us. As should any other fans that would like to have a chance of success in the future, or just more equal opportunities. True FFP would be a salary cap akin to rugby union.
Benidorm ?
Mentioned this in another thread, but the notion that she is doing nothing to stop the negative press we get is very unfair. She’s clearly very highly regarded within the club. Amazing how many people with no experience in that field seemingly think they know the job better than she does. The idea of just banning dissenting voices isn’t really a viable one for the club.

Fair enough mate. What do you think she should do differently?I know the industry Ric, with respect, we have taken too much.
ReallyIf she’s let it go on this long without compiling a watertight case, she needs to be sacked and humiliated because it would be clear that she isn’t fit for the job. Get in a real FCUKING hard nosed bitch. They’re normally brutal in law.
Ric, what is she doing to stop the negative press?

I don't blame her. She is under orders from above. We want to welcome all. Kepp your friends close but your enemies closer. Treat them. Allow them access to the club. Get them onside. But that plan hasn't worked. We bent over for UEFA and warned them. Some got the message but others still hate our success so much they want a fight. Now is time to make a real statement. Expose the corruption and blow them out of the water. Then we hold all the cards. The club has extreme global power, UEFA wants income. They will soon be on our side when they feel that squeeze.
I honestly don’t think the negative publicity can really be stopped. We have a free and independent press in this country and whether we like it or not, City aren’t exactly a popular entity. We’re an easy target for reasons far out of her control. The idea that someone could come into that role and suddenly get the media to toe the line is fanciful in the extreme.Ric, what is she doing to stop the negative press?

Ha, ok.Start banning all media forthwith. We cannot get any worse crap than the last 36 hours. What should have been the best 10 years of us supporting the beloved club of both of us has been riddled with over the top bile constantly. In the 80's when times were hard the paying customers "us" dug in for the club. We have nullified the lot of the media darling clubs. Yes City have the longest running entrance to the Chumps League in England and they don't like it.

Can only speak as you find, but she’s a very intelligent, passionate City fan who doesn’t really deserve to bear the brunt of what is happening. It’s easy to target her from behind a keyboard, but if you speak to people who have had actual real life dealings with her you’ll get a different picture.
