Thersites @greyg.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If the owners are dismissed, and banned from any future involvement in football, then I think the FA would be able to find a place for them in the EFL. Without that fans of other clubs are bound to protest. City as a club can only survive without the current owners. 010

Thersites @greyg.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I’ll take the great yawning silence as a no. And this is the great shame of online discourse, children.

Thersites @greyg.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I think you’re right in some countries - including us in some years.

Thersites @greyg.bsky.social · 19/09/2026When any minority, in seeking parity in public discourse of their rights, compares the lack of either coverage or care afforded it by perceived allies with an unrelated issue, it weakens the legitimate plea for that sought after parity and stifles progress. 100
