    Agree with your appreciation of the language used by City Man. As you can tell by my posts I cannot be bothered to spend my time elaborating. Well done to him.

    I wonder what their equivalent of Barbara Wilkinson said about people standing up?

    Hundreds must have died with all those flares giving the meltdown if one goes off anyhere near a football match in this country.

    You can see why the Gglazers have never managed to sell Man Utd. They want to but no one is interested in them with all those militant anti Glazer fans.

    The Milan clubs would find it difficult to attract buyers not owning their ground, obviously. Sane as Man City found it so difficult.

    Yep, you could attain almost instant messiah status on Day One just by stopping all the childish spite-fuelled antics with crest, gate, name etc

    Day Two: scrap membership, bring back concessions, standardise prices

    Day Three: sack Steve Jordan

    But as you say, it's the actual transaction that's the bottle neck. Although no doubt the owners will always say it's someone else fault rather than reflect on their own actions.

    I wonder what Ehab Allam thinks of the Oystons, and whether he can see any parallels, or how he himself might have handled the running of Bpool, if he'd been in charge of it?

    The only local journalist who questioned him with any vigour was Amanda White from RH. And he simply walked away from her.

    He hated the idea of being questioned by a woman.

    Well he'll have to get used to it.

    The pit-bull Barbara from the Supporter's Group will be grilling him next week.

    I hope he doesn't stand up in front of her, there could be carnage. Especially if there's no stewards.

    I don’t think the glaziers are remotely interested in selling the cash cow?

    It was a flippant remark to illustrate a point.

    Demonstrate what point?

    That we're on a par with Man U and the Milan clubs?

    No, but that a handful of militant fans don't put off prospective buyers. Far more were militant towards the Glazers but if he had put them up for sale buyers would have been queueing up. The Milan clubs and Man City were sold despite not owning their grounds. Whatever the reasons for him been unable to sell City those two are not them. Though some people are easily duped by the good Dr and will accept any nonsense he peddles.

    Are you in a competition with Happy as to who is the densest? It is a dead heat that the moment.

    It's all to play for. I've just swallowed two pounds of lead, thus increasing my density and pushing myself in front.
