JET will tear you apart Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I can't see why we can't do a man city we gave a majority shareholder who is like 999th on the Forbes list and sell every terrible player and buy good ones for this level if we want to be successful why. Can't we spend a bit to get the likes of freeman and we can't afford to be out bidded for players like dicko Some times it is frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 There are financial fair play rules to abide by, you can't simply continue to throw money at it, hoping it will solve our problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_s Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 There are financial fair play rules to abide by, you can't simply continue to throw money at it, hoping it will solve our problems. You only need to pick through the article linked below to see what a farce the financial fair play system is.http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/deloitte-football-money-league-report-manchester-city-ffp-hopes-lifted-by-revenue-hike--but-its-not-good-news-for-manchester-united-9078607.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candygram for mongo Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Let's see, a player (Dicko) has to choose between BCFC and Wolves, hardly an agonising decision is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Worst post I've ever read on this forum. Absolutely loathe supporters like this. Sadly it's not an uncommon viewpoint and there are supporters all around the country that would love some random billionaire to take the shortcut of buying success.

City have no connection to Man City. "We" have not given anything to a majority shareholder who is 999 on the Forbes wealth list (assume this is Steve Lansdown). Like it or not he bought a majority share in the club. Fans, with the exception of one or two small clubs, have never owned clubs. They have always been owed by chairmen / directors. As for spending more money, willy nilly, that 's what has caused many of the present problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you just back-peddling after you've been called out? Admitting you are wrong is a better and more respectable way to do it. When conducting a survey, you ask set questions and approach a cross section of the studied populace, you also normally inform the people involved. So (as some others have said) it's either the worst post I've seen on here in a long time, or it's the worse survey I've ever seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timothy bird Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 You may not agree with what he says but to say that it's the worst post ever is ridiculous ! personally I find posters who destroy the performance of the team as a whole or individuals whilist admitting that they have been no where near ashton gate ( and in some cases hasn't been for years ) far worse, I also find the ramblings of a bloke who constantly talks to a imaginary hedgehog boreing and slightly embarrassing _ but hey each totheir own, The OP actually goes to games, show him some respect for that, he's also a kid, cut him some slack, I've no probs with ppl disagreeing with him, I've no probs with pp explaining the errors of his ideas to him, I have got a problem with the otib bully boys turning out in full force ! it's no wonder that many people won't post on here anymore, _ nauseating !

chipdawg Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yes Man City are just copying what Chelsea and Man Utd have done ManUre are many things, but they didn't buy success in the way Chelsea or Citeh have. They built a brand, marketed the living **** out of it and made money where football clubs had not made money before. Despite the corporate, prawn-sandwich eating aspect of it all, I have a lot more respect for that than using your football club to launder money and buy status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I can't see why we can't do a man city Some times it is frustrating Yes, young chap. Some times it is frustrating. Absolutely. I think that is all this poor lad needs, everyone. To have his "frustration" heard, acknowledged and validated. That's all. Now, let's all hug together...
