Dougle 2832 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Slightly interesting that one story doing the rounds about a couple of players we/potential new owners have been sounding out, is a 32 year old Rafa previous signing at Napoli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13804 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 This is so funny. “Nobody cares” so he’s not wound up or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12446 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Went onto a Man City forum to see what they were saying. A good few seem to really dislike us, more seem to have a hatred of Liverpool and Man Utd so said they looked forward to us being a further challenger. Then it switched to FFP discussion where someone said: “A change of ownership allows a new owner to agree a managed plan for investment with UEFA without needing to meet the break-even requirement.” Which could help the new owners when coupled with a relaxing of FFP due to COVID-19. They are excited about us becoming the media’s new target regarding ownership though, they see it as they inherited that from Chelsea, so now they will pass it onto us and hope we become the target of ire for UEFA and the press.

Alex is right they absolutely love Mike Ashley, if this goes through maybe we should all immediately pivot and say we all love him as he sold us to this lot, they won’t know what to think or do. Typical mackem insight as well “it’s all going to go tits up” is their response to everything, I seem to remember the relegation we had was the end of everything, how fucking wrong they were eh. Enjoy League One you bunch of doylems, it’s funny he brought debt into it when the club he supports shouldn’t exist now if not for the fact their previous owner literally absolved them of all the debt they’d accrued before handing them to the bing bong twins who have immediately plunged them massively into debt. Still, they get to watch Will Grigg play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Citeh really gotten that much criticism with regard to UAE's human rights record? I can't say I've ever seen that much, at least coming from the sports pages. It seems like we've already gotten a lot given we haven't even been bloody sold yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I’ve noticed, I suppose you’re more likely to notice and pay attention to it when it’s about your club, they seem to think it’s been a lot. I agree we are getting it early though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 3647 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I live in Manchester and work with loads of city fans. They don’t hate us in general, they think little of us. They have a regional rival like we do. They have though had the time of their lives since been bought and after years of utter shite. If the deal goes through and we get half of what city have had we would be buzzing, and not just for the football team. City redeveloped a large part of east Manchester and it’s unrecognisable. One of the best grounds I’ve been to too. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Apparently some more paperwork linked to the consortium has been uploaded to the companies house website.

Was absolutely nonsense to name the new ground simply Stadium of light instead of making the most of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best grounds I’ve been to too. I think the latter point is just as exciting as the football side of things. We will likely see a lot of rejuvenation, which would create more jobs and there’s then potential for things to improve from there. Very exciting.

This is going to be a massive difference to the absolute whopper we’ve had as owner for the last 13 years.
