Transfer Embargo

[Jeff Lynnes PBCW™]

The fact that there are other incidents of both greater and less severity is neither here nor there.

Calling a player of Arabic ethnicity a "smelly Arab/P****" is racist, that's not up for debate. It's not as though he said it by accident, or he didn't know what it meant, or whatever other excuse people come out with these days for this type of behaviour. He also called Dominic Iorfa a "peasant", which seemed...iffy.

I haven't seen any trace of an apology either, seems he denied having said it yet he accepted the punishment. Had he apologised and then done work for anti-racism charities in an effort to distance himself from the incident, I might be more forgiving.

As it stands, he can **** allllll the way off. I won't be renewing if we sign him.

I think you should go find another sport if hurty words from 10 years ago are too much for you.

 

[allowentry]

if you were one of our good players, you'd be asking your agent non stop to find a new club, wouldnt you?

Shame we don't have hardly any then

Racism is much more than hurty words but good for a reminder of where your morals are.

Best thing now is for him to sell the club so someone else can come in and rebuild trust not just with supporters but with other clubs and businesses. Either he and the club are skint or he’s just a rogue who thinks he doesn’t have to pay people on time and I honestly don’t know which scenario is worse but they’re both bad.

Thing is, Acun Medya is worth a fair amount of money and that's whose name is on the club, Acun isn't listed as owner, he's listed as Chairman. Obviously he owns AM, but I thought it was strange at the time that he didn't put his name on it and used his company instead. Like we weren't owned by Allam Marine when Assem was in charge. It now owns half of Sport 1 (German company that shoes EFL, SPL and a lot of other second and third tier leagues from around Europe) who broadcast a pretty big range of sports from around the world (about three quarters of a million viewers at any given time according to German stats). It also owns TV8, which is basically Turkey's version of ITV and in the top 5 of their most popular channels.

I've seen varying reports of the value of Acun Medya since he took over, most of them are between €750m and €1bn. Obviously it's only worth what somebody would pay for it but even so, it's not like him ****ing off is going to do his bank account any harm, it's our club that ends up suffering if this all goes tits.

Hurty words? **** was out of order and then when he was found guilty didn't apologise and doubled down despite accepting the punishment, which you wouldn't do if you were innocent.

He can get ****ed is what he can do.

 

[Amin Arrears]

I heard last summer he wanted to sell the club. If he thinks the only way out now is promotion then he’s an even bigger idiot than I first thought.

Any good captain goes down with his ship. He ain’t going anywhere.

 

[Jeff Lynnes PBCW™]

The efl probably saving our club in the long term with these actions

Absolutely. I wish they would go further and dock us 25 points to make it fairer on the other teams who are all well run.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

Er ok, sorry to hear about that tragedy in your life. What would need to happen for it to go from allegedly to FACT in your mind?

In this context it’s irrelevant anyway. I couldn’t care less what’s said on a football pitch.

 

[Jeff Lynnes PBCW™]

and people still defend him

he needs to leave

Yes he needs to put us into administration as soon as possible.

Just seen the coaching staff in the Hilton try to order pints with the club credit card so they’re drinking tap water instead.

you been serious or on the wind up,its a absolute pr disaster at the moment for acun

 

[Jeff Lynnes PBCW™]

Time to put the club up for sale Acun.

And remind me, how many years did it take to find a buyer for the club when it was last put up for sale?”

But yes, times are different now - malodorous Arab consortiums will be falling over themselves for the opportunity to own a club like ours.

Genuine, it’s all over twitter

The club was actually more attractive to potential buyers under the Allams than it is now. Back then, we had the largest FFP headroom in the entire league with two very talented and valuable academy products as assets. The FFP headroom was the main reason Acun wanted to buy City.

Now we don’t have that headroom, we have a three-window fee restriction and no valuable squad assets that would net eight-figure profits. That’s all down to Acun. He’s sabotaged the club.

I meant about the coaching staff trying to order pints

Acun is ruining the club
FACT

Genuinely, are you suggesting we don’t ask for the club to put up for sale because it may take as long as it did last time? If so why?

Man City have a right cheek asking money for Burns. Before you know it they'll be after some payment for Liam Delap.

Probably still owe them the loan fee for Peter Barnes

When Baz said Acun would 'come out swinging' maybe selling his arse is the only way out of this mess.
