    That's still there, albeit updated to reference the number of years since he arrived.

    Took me a minute to get that banner. First thoughts was it was a mis-spelt reference to Arsenal’s current wobble, rather than a nod towards Man City’s new star brief signing.

    I'm reminded of the United For Sale Jim Ratcliffe banner that put me in such a foul mood that I didn't go to the Liverpool game earlier this season. Fans championing lawyers and billionaires is such a bleak state of affairs. Real dystopian, PL end-game behaviour.

    A lawyer mentioned on a banner at a football game.

    Groundbreaking.

    This is the future of north-east politics now too. Bin Salman and a new generation of T Dan Smiths

    Yeah. The way the local Labour Party have been their craven lapdogs is embarrassing, and yet machine twats like Pat Carney will round on anyone who dare question that since it is a Labour Council in charge, it's the best of all possible world for the Mancunian working class

    Seems to me that Abu Dhabi have done as comparably a thorough job in infecting and corrupting Manchester's democracy and body politic as they have English football.

    Aye. They could've done all the good stuff without doing the bad.

    The Guardian did a bit about it, based on an academic report.

    Ah cheers. Some interesting points in there and stuff I didn't know but I don't recall there being a mad scramble amongst investors to buy this land that the article quotes as being so valuable. I can only speak from personal experience from when I worked around there but, to me at least, its a significantly nicer area now than it was.

    How so? I'm sure they're intentions may be dubious but the area, housing and employment opportunities around Beswick and Gorton are significantly better now than they were pre takeover.

    Pep attacked his nine of his rival clubs, saying they were after the Champions League place for themselves. He even named them.

    Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Burnley…

    As NFL owners, the Glazers have won two Super Bowls and are much more successful than the previous Bucc's ownership - which isn't saying much - but I don't think anyone regards them as particularly smart NFL owners.

    One of their big problems in the past has been mismanaging the cap, so maybe that's why they wanted to own an Premier League team.

    Apologies, I heard the newsreader say that as I was heading out of the room. Fake news.
    He did say it, just a few years ago.

    He plays to his crowd, for sure, which is fine if you’re part of that crowd but certainly twattish if you’re not.

    Other than he didn’t say that in today’s press conference. Just the opposite in fact. We’ll wait and see of course and I could easily see him moving on if full sanctions are imposed but you are clearly misquoting him today.

    From BBC site

    “Guardiola previously said he would leave City if allegations they broke financial rules were proven.

    However, he said he had no intention of quitting on Friday, adding: "I am not moving from this seat, I can assure you. I want to stay more than ever."

    The Spaniard said he would not be concerned even if City were relegated by the commission.

    "We have already been in the lower divisions," he said. "We will be back there - not a problem.

    "We will call Paul Dickov and Mike Summerbee and we will do again.”
