Is the article an early indication that City are going to take steps to ensure they get the larger share of PL parachute money, in line with the new TV deal? The owners do like a legal challenge.
In general, the fact Ehab says something is an indication otherwise. What you on about now? I what way was he not wrong? He lied from start to finish but didn't have the balls to do it himself so got other people to front up at the FWG meetings.
Yes, he was right spending the money to benefit the away supporters of other clubs whilst all those other clubs spent it on their own fans. You are like the proud mother watching her son marching in a military parade who says " Look, everyone is marching out of step except my little treasure" with your servile acceptance of the Allams approach to this.
its funny. You act all hurt like he spent your money. Two reasons spring to mind why it wasn't your money. It's like a few if you have to act all indignant at the slightest thing. Even though you really shouldn't.
Calm down princess. Even with your self entitlement approach to this you must see that anyone who doesn't actually go to games really should keep quiet? Oh no. Course not. Only if they disagree with you.
Part of the issue with the ASI money was that some seemed to misunderstand what it was about. It needs something more imaginative than just reducing the price of tickets to a few games, as Saturday showed.
It wasn't Allam'smoney either. It was set aside by the PL from money which came because of SKY. So, technically it was the money of SKY Sports subscribers by your logic. In any case he should have spent it on people attending away games who were City fans and spent SMC money on making improvements to the KC. Only one chairman would put fans of other clubs before his own. Normal chairmen would want as much vocal away support for their team, not give help to away fans who outsing the home fans in the funereal atmosphere of the KC. Always quoting people going now you are allowed to go in all the months City play, aren't you? Whereas some of us were there in all the months they played.
If travel costs had been reduced, or even free as other clubs did, due to an ASI there would have been even more fans there than just a cheap ticket price. It has gone now of course mow we aren't in the PL and with it a lost opportunity to engender goodwill with the fans. It seems as though our chairman wilfully tries to alienate the fans of his club.
I find it hard to believe that even you would post this ****e, you're attempting to defend the indefensible.
Travel reductions were suggested by the club and rejected by fans as not many wanted to use Tiger Travel.
There was never any intention of giving the fans any benefit from the ASI fund, the fans saying saying they'd prefer it used on tickets rather than travel had absolutely no bearing on anything.
Maybe, maybe not, it's guess work. It doesn't alter the fact that reduced cost travel wasn't seen as a practical option by fans, and the Premier League's aim was something over and above just lower ticket prices.
It was clever of our chairman to be the only one to work out it was to make things a more pleasant day out for away in your own ground, whilst the clubs of those fans had got the wrong end of the stick and made it cheaper for their fans to experience it and our fans had to pay full price to experience their less pleasant surrounding. Though our fans could stand in their new t shirt waving their new scarf about thanks to the kindness of our owners.
The tee shirts and scarves came out of some other existing budget. I don't think the chairman knew one way or the other about them. There's a lot of things could be done better, but it's better to target actual issues, than to just latch on to things that were separate anyway. That's where a fair amount of bad feeling comes from.
It's not guesswork at all, Ehab clearly stated that the money wasn't to be used on our fans, it was for everyone else's (obviously it wasn't supposed to be, but that was his claim).
Were any rules broken? No? Just a few fragile hearts then? Poor things. Drop the righteous indignation Lambo. I do not see you rushing to correct the many wrong statements put out and swallowed by the gullible like the scarves and other things. The whole common fan, man of the people thing who is a victim of cruel club owners is a tadge far fetched too.
Ehab may or may not have said something like that at some point, but the Club were talking to fans about the possibility of spending the money on travel, which was not felt appropriate by fans, and other options were looked at, which ultimately came to nothing. There was some confusion from some fans as to what the ASI money was for, but the Prem examples said clearly that they were looking for something more than just reduced ticket prices.
