Manchester City fans have been less giddy recently, following the madness that was the transfer deadline day in the summer. Their club became the richest in the World and were dropping bids for the best players all over the World. Robinho was the only one they could lure away, given that he was so desperate to leave Real Madrid and wasn’t allowed to join Chelsea.
Still, that didn’t stop them from going a bit mental with the transfer rumours. They honestly believed they could bring in the best players in the World simply because they had money. One lad even got ‘Kaka’ tattooed to his chest!
Then they started a petition to keep Cristiano Ronaldo away from their club. Seriously. They really believed they could get him to sign but they really didn’t want him to.
Looks like someone didn’t get the memo though.
Man Utd News 24/7
If we got 60 mill for Berba and 134 mill for Ron I’d say sell them both.. Am I being cynical?
they can offer as much cash as they like haakon. none of our star players would want to go there. it comes down to them and they would refuse and can you really blame them
you would be insane not to take it
they may take it tel but if the player doesn’t want the move, not a lot can be done
look at kaka
that pic is old and from an old story by soeone else
Is that picture for real? Not photoshopped? Boy that is just pathetic haha!
What will we do with our money from the ronny sale when he gos to madrid in the summer,i love these articles about city,lets laugh at them as much as we can for the next three or 4 years till they take over
Reds RIP Jan 01 2017 …. you read it here first!
For an out fit £46 million more in debt than at the start of the fiancial year with all your profit raised at club level swallowed up by debt interest repayment further up the foodchain take a good luck in the mirror.
No sponsership deal in the pipeline and no takers, Ronaldo off in the summer for hard cash to service the debt.
You got Berbatov we have Rhobino prefer ours scores goals.
Joel alwayswanted a cowboy outfit so his dad bought you clowns
Well they can’t have Kaka he belongs to Jesus
Meanwhile, as the world turns, the Glazers continue to rip off United fans and the club plummets furthers and further into debts…
City til I die
Yeah that picture’s real, course it is…
Quality array of English names commenting on here. Manchester united the tom, dick n harry club. Manchester city – the people of manchesters club. Cheers for the article by the way rag.
Ha ha typical red propaganda you guy’s have a bigger growing debt problem than iceland and a poor attempt at ridiculing the wealthiest club in the universe.
We are about to sign the richest shirt sponsership deal in football history you are banging on back doors in salford trying to raise coin to replace AIG another mis managed bunch of chancers.
Dont expect my last post to be published too factual
In football money talks and always has done. A top players career is short he he may as well make as much as he can. The clubs buy and sell players like cattle, so it is no suprise that players through there agents chase the money and show little loyalty. City will buy silverware, same as Chelski and I for one can’t wait for the good times to roll. The top four will soon have a much bigger brother if the Sheik stays the course.
£70 mill for Nani wouldn’t be bad either
@ JAY, THAT YOUR JOKE OF A CLUB THAT HAS NOT HAD JOY OF ANY SORT IN 33 YEARS IS THE RAG. WHO REALLY CARES WHERE YOUR FANS COME FROM? I AM FROM NIGERIA AND I SUPPORT MANCHESTER UNITED FROM ’98. I READ A LOT AND LEARN NEW THIINGS ABOUT THE CLUB BECAUSE I CANNOT GET TO COME AROUND TO SEE THEM MYSELF AND I DO NOT MISS A SINGLE GAME EXCEPT THOSE I CANNOT HELP.
IT MIGHT BE ADD BUT YOU WILL DO YOURSELVES A LOT OF GOOD BY ADMITTING THAT YOUR CLUB IS RIDICULOUSLY PATHETIC.

John O ‘Shea should be up there & whereabouts – for 50mills!
THE OWNERS OF MAN SHITTY DO NOT COME ACROSS AS DUMB BILLIONAIRES BUT THEY BETRAYED THAT IMPRESSION WHEN THEY SPENT MONEY ON MJFC (MANCHESTER JOKE FOOTBALL CLUB)
Olusanjo seems pretty upset, he’s even broke his caps lock key in a fit of fergiesque rage.
I suppose I’d be upset at blowing £30 odd mil on Berbatov.
Jay– Nice display or racism and ignorance. Doing yourself and your “massive” club proud.
“Yes Ronaldo is a great player, infact without doubt he is currently the best player in the world…but we feel he is not right for our club. This may be hard to understand for someone who isnt aware of our history. Manchester United are our arch rivals in the footballing world, and for the past 30 plus years it has been commonly said that we have underachieved while living in Uniteds shadow. Now we have a genuine possibility to succeed, we want it to be done off our own back”
Priceless! History. What History is that then? Idiots.
Drew – Spot on.
This is how it feels to be city… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-X2odc61YA
that pic is priceless, lol
Attaboy olusanjo! It’s the massive global and local fanbase that makes United so great!
Hilarious. Guys is it true that they actually signed petition to not sign c.ronaldo.
Awww! Poor United fans…champions of everywhere, yet still obsessing over the “little” club down the road! Thanks for the compliments!
By the way, are the official stewards still hanging out the “Republik (a “k” instead of a “c” – how clever!) of Mancunia” banners before your home games? Can’t be long before they are trademarked for sale in the Red Cafe in Singapore…
Still, good luck for the rest of the season – I’ll bet Olusanjo’s home town (he calls us Man SHITTY – oh, stop it, you’re too funny!) is overcome with civic pride at the thought of their club becoming champions! Perhaps United could have their official celebration there?
….and leave Manchester for the real Mancunian team.
From what I have seen/heard(not knocking anyone)Old Trafford could do with some of the die hard foreign fans who would kill to get inside OT…they’d make ALOT more noise then the amateur cameramen that take up the seats.
But sadly it’s impossible financially for most of them to go…
Let’s be honest you’d probably get 6MIL for Berbatov, even my misguided red nosed mates recognise him for the waste of space he is. You have two real talents in your side Rooney and Ronaldo and you will lose Ronaldo in the Summer – he’s been told to shut up and get on with his game, his non-immediate family (hangers on) are over there already.
As for City’s wealth – well so what! City fans got giddy at the start of the season and rightly so, we’ve had some really bad times lately. The most ammusing thing is that United fans get far more giddy in a negative way and spend far more effort and go to greater lengths than we do.
Anyhow, good luck for the Premiership, I think that’s a done deal. Europe I think will go to Arsenal – I hope not Barca and the FA cup – easily Chelsea’s.
By the way – the new kit story from the Daily Mail – this is a wind-up right. It must be because the whole country wouldn’t stop laughing if the reds turned out in that.
money cant buy you class….. money cant buy you history (ask abramovich)
i do find it hilarious that all these bitters are giving it one on this blog when all they have is money…..
they have a trophy cabinet with a sign saying hopefully coming soon, and what tops it for me is the fact that a “massive” club like ciddy has filled there ground twice tis season. once when we beat them and secondly when the played hamburgers…. (because they sold tickets at a fiver a pop)…
a couple of lads who work with my mate got corporate freebies for the hamburg game (they wouldnt pay obviously) and sat behind a guy who actually shat himself as elano took the penalty…
what a class set of fuckwitts
also why are city such a well known team even before we were bought? becuase we have history! remember that sweet back heel that relegated u guys? dont forget ye we havnt won anything in 33 years. but what happened before that? your more interested in us than yourselves you scum
zakinho10 – you don’t even know your OWN history, you dumb bluenose. United were relegated because of other results. We were relegated regardless of Law’s backheel.
What a clown.
Paul the red
Absolutely spot on with those insightful, accurate and well-researched comments – most notably about a club with no history whatsoever.
Your persuasive well-written piece shoud be applauded and puts most of the posts on this thread to shame.
Yous are indeed a world-class fuckwit
we are more interested in city??? dont know about any other red in here but i dont write on city blogs..
think our bitter friends are just used to living in the shadow.
why are we all so obsessed with city
lets concentrate on united ffs its pathetic
its like we’re all worried about city
Bitters claim to come from Manchester yet their Council House is never full. Their pathetic club had to whore itself to its own fans for UEFA cup matches so that they would turn up, advertising on local radio that they were selling tickets for £5.
Of course, they didn’t mind that Hamburg knocked them out. Credit crunch and all that.
Colbert – Not just “local radio” they also put loads of tacky adverts on talksport. They can’t give the tickets away.
Colbert – ‘Pathetic club had to whore itself.’ bit of jealousy there really. It shows that city fans are there in numbers it’s just a shame the extra 3,000 can’t make it every week as most the working class are skint(bit like your club) united fill their ground with rich camera bearing prawnies, admittedly down to your clubs recent success and my god does it show! Old trafford is the worst ground for atmosphere I’ve ever been to. Give me empty seats over corporate day trippers anyday of the week! When was the last time your club did a decent gesture to the fans? I’d be more inclined to say ‘whoring itself’ is more along the lines of raising season ticket prices and charging fans for cup games on their season tickets. You may win alot but in my ideas you are the biggest joke of a ‘football club’ going.
Nigeria – find the caps lock key, shut up, and go support your local team you glory hunting mong.
Well Colbert if you think that giving something back to fans by offering a price cut for a one game in these times of financial crisis is acting like a whore but think its ok that the Glazers squeeze you lot for even more money by making cup tickets part of your season ticket, then you are a fool.
I admit we haven’t got as big a fan base as you lot and this is the case with other teams less successful than utd too but EVERY ground in the country is low on attendences as these sort of gestures should be welcomed.
I know i applauded the likes Bolton and Sunderland in the past for price cutting as it makes a nice change to see clubs giving a bit back to the fans.
And as for us being linked with all these players, its the press making this rubbish up not City. Infact a month back we were linked with Messi, the next day we threatened to sue the arse off The Sun unless they printed an apology in saturday’s edition, funnily enough they obliged.
I don’t expect you speak for your fellow reds as I’d like to think they think you are a tool too.
the futures bright, the futures blue.
i refute that old trafford is full of prawnies and camera bearers…
football is not the working mans game anymore like it used to be, my ticket costs me just under a months wage… july is usually a quiet month for me but it’s worth it …. up in the top of the stretford you dont get fun police telling you to sit down and the atmosphere is awesome…. only been better at away matches in my view..
agreed down in the south and north stands it can be quiet, but that is what they pay for, good view, season car parking ticket, early dart out… but then again they service the debt like we all do.
Jay- classy racist comment from your part of Manchester
just glad I’m a red from Salford
I agree – giving back to the fans is great but we can’t win here. If we do we’re damned for “not being able to sell tickets” if we don’t we are “overcharging for games”. I am pleased to see games opening up to those who might not be able to afford tickets at normal prices.
This new kit is a wind up – it has to be.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1164758/Kit-parade-Liverpool-United-Chelsea-Arsenal-Man-Citys-new-shirts-leaked.html
Can’t wait to see the lads in the pub turn out in the red and white or vice versa – or possibly they wont.
Is it?
You’re the site writing about it, we’re the club quietly getting on with it. It’s not actually City who linked ourselves to most of these players, its the press and United fans. Kaka? Why not go for him. Worth a shot!
Time will tell, and yes, your £80million for Ronaldo will probably cover the interest on your debt. Great way to run a club.
Yawn, yes we are in debt but we have trophies in the cabinet, which way round would you prefer? 33 years and counting.
Calm down. My comment wasn’t racist so stop being so PC. I bet you’re one of the clowns that chant Argentina, disrespectful to relatives of reds and blues alike and I’m talking English fans.
What has chanting Argentina have anything to do with racism clown?
The only city fan in Sierra Leone was flown to Manchester by City to witness a match. Every body was laughing at him!!!
They are trying to establish a fan base here but no success!!
Jay and Paul Calf, you couldn’t even sell all your tickets before you started cutting prices! This has been the case long before this season started. Trust me, I know a couple of honest City fans who show you muppets up by actually going to watch their team.
Jay, you’re a fine one to talk about atmosphere. Have you ever been to Boo Camp, mate? I tell you what, I’ll help you blow up a few of those inflatables and show the world what a massive club you are.
Talljonny, don’t worry about how we’ll pay our debt. The prize money earned from winning trophies (those big shiny metallic things, you plank) and the coffers from us actually going to our games will help take care of it.
“Time will tell, and yes, your £80million for Ronaldo will probably cover the interest on your debt. Great way to run a club”
Great way to run a club, should we get someone like Shinawatra who’s government faced allegations of corruption, authoritarianism, treason, conflicts of interest, acting non-diplomatically, and muzzling of the press as well as being accused of tax evasion, selling national assets to international investors. Also to boot Independent bodies, including Amnesty International criticized his human rights record.
So many unfamiliar names here. Guess they really do believe, lol
Difference is that we can always attract investors… i remember you lot and your Fanny Lee… you were calling him the Messiah… blah blah blah… he just milked ya to keep his bog roll company going..
Then there is Frank Sinatra… ffs… dictator, murderer…
U lot have had more owners than a fuckin 1972 MK 1 Ford Escort.
Finally other fans who can match the Liverpool fans in stupidity and delusion. Well done you small minded fans.
I also forgot to ask, what an IDIOT, you never get a name on the back of your shirt without the deal being confirmed first, unless of course he’s just a City fan who just admires Ronaldo, which would be weird.
Olusanjo Well impressed with your English who wrote it for you. It was St Georges Day yesterday did you celebrate.
OTRed maybe his name is C Ronaldo ??
Guess we`ll just buy who the f**k we want.
You`ll just have too live with it.
Money talks you wouldn`t be where you are now if it didn`t!
You can`t buy Kaka/Ronaldo erm wait a minute?YOU DID?
all you united fans are scared of man city actually challengeing you in the future, lets b honest we had our money 2 spend for 1 day in the summer transfer window n brought in a world class player, robinho, n kaka was never going 2 come 2 us in the january transfer window because every body knows no big players move in january, lets just wait n see who we actually do bring in after the seasons ended cos lets b honest money does talk n we will bring in some world class players 2 our club n show the world who man city are, n 1 more thing as soon as fergie leaves, you will b nothing, id say 5 years time city will b challenging for the premier league and then uniteds run of 33years will hav started.
We’ve start our run already shaun11. more than a decade and counting…

of success
What can United do if fans from other countries start liking them and the rich “prawnies” start to go to the stadium? it comes with being succesful…look at Chelsea although they were a big team after Abrahmovic took over they become a HUGE global team and theres loads of glory hunters supporting them as well…same goes for Arsenal/Liverpool. Foreign fans come with success I am guessing thats why you City fans seem to hate them considering you wouldnt know a thing about success
English Pride – Classy. Racist cunt.
City fan – “You can`t buy Kaka/Ronaldo erm wait a minute?YOU DID?”
I can’t recall United buying Kaka? We did buy Ronaldo but for 12.5 million. Idiot.
Shaun11 – Scared? Which “World class” players are gonna join you mugs when you won’t even be playing in Europa or whatever that mickey mouse cup is called, never mind the Champions League. Joker.
Unlike all these bitter utd fans City have got a sense of humour, when it comes to all this hype about who we are signing it wasn’t the fans saying it.
The press are to blame for getting giddy because we have got a few quid, City fans know it will take time to progress and one day maybe be as good as the Mighty reds.
I just can’t wait for summer because this will get the utd fans going, we are going to sign George Best and his dad for £150,000 000.
Just remember you reds, you heard it here first.
Paul the Red
United class club, let’s ask the Munich victims and their nearest and dearest how the club showed class by helping them shall we? Perhaps not because the truth hurts.
And when a match was finally arranged to at last put some money their way which United “great” diminished the pot by taking out his “expenses,” bonjour Eric, your cheque is in the post! You couldn’t make it up.
Oh the source for this is
The Lost Babes: Manchester United and the Forgotten Victims of Munich by Jeff Connor, just so you can’y throw your usual nonsense our way, you know the one “City liars”
Have a read you might learn something although I doubt. It will be a struggle finding your way out of your own derrieres to find some light to read by.
bitter shitty council house scum..racist fucks..just f off
