strawb 3659 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I’m getting a bit bored of fans of other clubs telling us how we should feel about this takeover. Yeah there are moral concerns and that, but as we have been told over and over, support the team and not the regime. When this is complete I will be on the cans, and when we win the league/cup/champions league treble, I will be on the cans and I couldn’t give a fuck what any other teams supporters could say. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City beating Watford 5-0 in the FA Cup final was a depressing moment IMO, made me wonder what the point in anyone else even trying was. I have similar concerns about us if this goes through - maybe I'll find that it's the same, and I'll look on City differently as a result as well, I don't know. Certainly never struggled with the human rights aspect though, despite being a staunch believer in such things. Plenty of competition and no club has unlimited money You thought City would dominate yet Liverpool are well on top this year City are in a good position though I think Chelsea are as well Arsenal are improving again Spurs have great new Stadium perhaps wont help much right now United are still linked with buying all the best players even thouhg they have all that debt and there owners will be hit hard by the Corona and they also have wage and player issues. Wolves and Leicester are looking great Everton could improve again and now there will be you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd given up hope of ever seeing my club winning anything in the time I have left and who knows it might still be too late? what I do know is if these saudi's along with stavely and the reubin brothers make the possibility of seeing us lift some silverware come to fruition I'd happily sell me soul to the devil and I'm not really bothered how unethical that makes me. as regards yourselves and the mansours... about the only consideration I've given it is I wished to fuck they'd bought us instead back in '08 and I'd have been equally as morally bankrupt than as I am now in my happiness at seeing the back of a parasite whose sucked the soul out of nufc. I believe our owner was looking at Manchester City Everton and Newcastle elected for Manchester City due to wiling selling new ground land round stadium and being able to get good publicity by playing on Manchester rivalry.

Wolves and Leicester are looking great Everton could improve again and now there will be you guys I'm just saying how I felt the last time I had any kind of opinion on City. It's not an argument as such. I think the premise was something along the lines of whether or not City's success brought similar feelings to that of United or Liverpool (both of whom were clubs that I at various times, loved to hate - even if I've softened on Liverpool under Klopp). So the consideration was whether or not I really cared about City in the same way - and for whatever reason, I don't. There's no argument you can make to 'fix' that, it's just how it was for me As I say, I'm hopeful our own experience won't be the same but I'm prepared for it to go that way. It's like turning cheats on in Football Manager. Fun for a bit, but is it really earned or rewarding? Totally accept my view may change if we ever win anything. But then again, it may not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk man, if that was ever us winning 6-0 I think i would have started to feel a bit embarassed about it. I said recently in another thread that all your money makes it hard to have strong feelings about you as a club, positive or negative. If it went the same way for us, I think it would be a disconnect from what i believe the personality of the club to be. That said, I believe that personality is summarised as one of "glorious failure" so perhaps any success would be a disconnect... ^ post from a year ago. I stand by it at present.
