🤣🤣🤣

@unitedhan @scott2hotti It’s not a fair point at all - match day and shirt sales are nowhere near the most significant income streams.

No one should be abusing you, but ‘no smoke without fire’ is a terrible take. Why do we bother with courts? Why not convict everyone where there is ‘smoke’?

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@themagic_tophat Right on cue, the grifter appears to seek more attention.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@Itz_justme4u @AdamJoseph Force City to reset the market, then pay through the nose for Fernandes, a far inferior player.

Some strategy.

Adam will pretend to like it though, as it makes him feel connected despite being a plastic in Australia.

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple You don’t think there were compromises on transfers? The club clearly did not sign all of his top targets.

This is not to deny the level of support he received - just pointing out that he wasn’t dealt a ‘perfect’ hand.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple Of course, but saying he was given ‘perfect conditions’ is obviously untrue and suggests success was inevitable.

Do you think any other manager would have come close to having the impact that he did?

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple I’m fine with scrutiny.

The issue is that you are denegrating Pep’s/ City’s success because you disapprove of the ownership model.

Your arguments around financial capability, etc, come across as justifications for that disapproval, rather than reasons for it.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple So it’s literally in the first post, and it should be easy enough to work out. 🤔

Life as a City fan is certainly more complicated since the takeover, I’ll give you that.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple Literally in the first post?

You snipe about Pep and the Conference, then say “the influence as regards working for state ownership should probably be considered a bit more too’.

You think this constitutes an argument?

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple An assertion isn’t an argument.

You are yet to set out what the argument is.

A lot of financial stuff, and a lot of holding your nose about ‘state ownership’.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple You haven’t focused on those reasons though - you’ve talked about Pep’s ‘perfect conditions’, and defended this by referencing spending capability - an unconvincing metric.

Then you claim that people don’t understand your argument. 🤷

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple Financial capability is your central point, but that has been curtailed by FFP to the extent that other clubs have spent similar amounts.

You are very keen to raise the ownership model, but the capability point is a red herring.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple So it’s about what City could spend, rather than what they have spent?

Despite FFP, brought in at the behest of traditional big clubs to curb spending potential?

Yours seems to be an incoherent argument.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple Investigate - yes, of course.

Constantly raise the issue to denigrate the club’s achievements - even while the matter is under adjudication - not necessary or reasonable.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple He had serious backing, unsurprising given his prior achievements.

But he lost key players/back roomstaff, missed out on transfer targets to competitors , had the PL/UEFA onslaught over FFP allegations (abetted by other clubs and the media).

“Perfect conditions”. 🤔

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple What does ‘perfect conditions’ mean?

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@TheFootyFeed This type of attention seeking surely deserves a block.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple Well, his impact on football obviously pre dates his time at City.

And other PL clubs had similar financial backing (but a different ownership model) over the period he was there, with barely a fraction of the impact he had.

[Kid A @Kid_A_65]

@MiguelDelaney @ClothinSimple @mcfcCs @umirf1 .. which isn’t relevant to how he changed the game, which is the point the of the original tweet.

Shouldn’t you at least try to hide your agenda?
