Why is there a media blackout on City’s (alleged) transgressions?

It’s amazing how much compliance a decent wifi connection, a good chef in the press box and the prospect of cushty employment for your offspring can buy you.

it has only been possible because the glazers hollowed out united. shame there was nothing we could have done about that.

What? City’s success is down to the Glazers? That’s quite a reach given that Ferguson couldn’t go on forever and the club was built around him - him leaving was always going to be a huge problem. Pep leaving will be challenging - even for the berts.

And many fans, including me, did what we realistically could - protested, bought shares, made a noise about how bad it would be. Ferguson et al paved the way for the glazers and there’s a strong argument that even he couldn’t do a fat lot.

Not sure what the roll eyes are for tbh? Your own inadequate response to 2005? Your lack of involvement? Your non attendance either before or after in any meaningful sense? Your disappointment that fans who had supported and attended the club all their lives wouldn’t make the same sacrifice that people like you, once or twice a year fair weathers type fans were making?

your last comment was very silly and this one is just as silly.

My point to RRR was that united fans being passive about city’s cheating plays into the narrative that the rest of the media seem to have about it all incl opposing fans. When city’s main rival fans (us) dismiss/ignore city’s cheating their way to success in such a non confrontational/passive way then it’s unlikely sufficient political pressure will build to force the authorities hands.

Everyone should be calling it out - Liverpool and Chelsea fans certainly, the press, but no one seems arsed. Rob even wants city to £#%&!ing succeed.

I think there’s some fairly silly opinions about all this but I’m confident mine isn’t.

I am not responsible for your silliness; I have opposed it.

"once or twice a year fair weathers type fans"? :°(

PAul Hince is turning in his grave. I imagine T Knott of Droylesden has cancelled his subscription.

Literally hot off the press - the ink hadn’t even dried.

Imagine the pink now with games going on until about ten past five? They'd be £#%&!ed
