If you don't think City will find a way to fuck it up, you don't know much history!
Footballing Disaster

Yeah,
The situation at United AND City illustrates pretty well everything that is wrong with Premier League football.
At United you have a bunch of Americans who bought the club with borrowed money, loaded the debt onto the business they had bought and then borrowed more money against the asset to finance the interest on the first load of money they borrowed.
At poor old City, desperate for a bit of success to start living up to the neighbours, first of all they get bought by Shinawtra, the ex Thai Prime Minister wanted on fraud charges and despised for a fairly dodgy human rights record.
And now they get taken over by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan whose brother is the United Arab Emirates interior minister. Another brother was acquitted recently on charges of raping and torturing an Afghan trader even though there was a video showing the other brother beating up the merchant. The UAE court found him not guilty on the basis that the medicines that he was taking for heart and back conditions could cause "anger, aggression and loss of memory"
Nice family huh! But hey, CIty fans, they're loaded so why should we care? Pity Hitler aint still alive, he would have been a good one to get on the City Board eh? Pathetic or what!

Well Old Trafford did get bombed during the war, but even so Hitler wasn't a City fan.

"but even so Hitler wasn't a City fan."
Have to admit that. But if Hitler had been around today, he might have taken a leaf out of the Glaziers approach. Borrow all the money to buy the club and then double the seat prices in three years to help keep the cashflow looking at least half decent.
Meanwhile the fans, known collectively by Premier League chairman as "the mugs" keep turning up.
I seem to recall Freddie Shepherd duing his time at Newcastle taking the piss out of the fans who forked out Christ knows what for a team shirt that cost little more than a fiver. Pity he wasn't left hanging at the Gallowgate end.
Its capitalism in action, boys and girls. More fun supporting your local pub team or non-league side. At least its honest. Mind you, some of the tackles are life-threatening!
