Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 02/10/2026That’s a naive way of looking at it. They have £10billion of investment in the UK including in the NHS and critical infrastructure. If they are saying they are going to pull the plug that it a much bigger loss than losing City in the prem 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Wengers legacy was over way before City became a powerhouse. Fergie saw to that. Agree with Klopp, Jose though 100
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Just watched the Overlap with Ornstein, and he heavily alluded to Sheikh Mansour not knowing about any of the financial irregularities, so he couldn’t be forced to sell. Imagine not knowing where your billions of £ went 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It’s worth saying you can’t judge all our fans by what you see online. Especially when a lot of our foreign fans seem to be from the Middle East and they don’t “get” city. Most manc fans feel let down by the owners and wouldn’t mind a few years in the lower leagues 131
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I agree. I want to be rid of Abu Dhabi totally. If we could get some sort of fan ownership that would be amazing, but it will probably just be an American billionaire. 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Surely administration looms with the sheer number of lawsuits? 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 29/09/2026At least we should be able to see some decent academy kids in the lower leagues 😂 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I guarantee that the “irrefutable evidence” is actually their diplomatic ties to the government and trying to leverage that to a lighter punishment. At this point as a city fan you just have to laugh and accept we’re fucked. At least I got to watch Aguero, KDB & Haaland in the flesh 020
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026City are my local too 😂 and my parents local, it’s mad that he thinks I should just pick a different team because I don’t like the owners who came in when I was in my teens lol. I had a look at his profile and he seems a right miserable tosser so I’m not gonna lose sleep over his opinion 010
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Sorry next time I want to watch a football game from a team I’ve been watching for over 30 years I’ll make sure to run it by you first to make sure it’s morally acceptable. Think you need to grow up matey boy it’s only football 010
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026😂 guess I should have found a new local team that my dad and grandad supported, that was owned by an ethical billionaire? I was a fan before Abu Dhabi and I will still be a fan after Abu Dhabi. 210
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I’ve come home tonight to my fiancé, child and cat and realised: it’s not all bad, England are still crap, football is still meaningless and my life is so much better away from here 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Had a few beers so my opinion on 115 is: fuck Abu Dhabi, fuck Khaldoon, love you Marc Guehi 010
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026That’s what’s frustrating for me. Basically this entire time Khaldoon has been saying we are 100% innocent and we have mountains of evidence. Turns out it was all lies. Needs to walk for that alone 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I don’t disagree, and we’ll always have the memories, it’s just annoying that all our success now carries an asterisk, and it’s the fans that have to deal with it not the owners. At least we will get to see some new grounds now 😂 200
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It is what it is though. I always hated the idea of state run clubs but when we got bought out we just had to accept it. The price I paid was watching good footy weekly, but now that’s being taken away what’s the point in not criticising the owners lol 110
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I’ve been going since I was a child (I’m in my mid 30s now) and I live in Manchester. I think we should go back to being a community team tbh. I don’t like what we’ve become and maybe this has just given me the excuse to get angry at owners I never really liked 😂 210
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026At least if we get relegated we can go back to resembling a community team 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Feel like you’re in the anger/denial stage tbh. Regardless of if other teams (“the cartel”) are wrong, we could end up being relegated because a sheikh with no link to Manchester decided to cheat & the fans are the ones who suffer. That’s unforgivable in my eyes 110
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Feel like a lot of it comes from foreign fans too. A lot of the local fans (like me) hate that we’re state owned, and would like us sold if we get the book thrown at us 171
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Every game had that anyway. Every team in the league chants “we know what you are” to us. I guess the only difference now is it’s confirmed 😂 120
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026We just had to accept the human rights abuse and being state owned as we couldn’t do anything about it and it was my local team, can’t exactly start supporting someone else in my 30s, so it just feels like something I used to love so much has now been taken away by a sheikh. 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026For years we’ve had to look past the questionable human rights record & accept that we are a state owned club, but at least we could always say we were well run and the football was good. Just feel like a bit of a hypocrite now and the joy I had has been stolen from me. Hope we get sold tbh 010
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026That’s the same justification Lance Armstrong used. Just because other teams may have also been cheating, doesn’t mean we weren’t. The local fans should be outraged with the ownership (not the football staff). Don’t see why that’s controversial 100
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The way the club has been run is very good (* except for the biggest cheating scandal in English history). The memories remain but I feel cheated out of them now. You might feel differently but I hate that 100
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Even now how can you defend them. Even without the human rights atrocities on a sporting level they have just torpedoed our club 100
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Didn’t walk away, but since then I knew we had cheated. It makes you care less certainly, but you stick around cos it’s a big part of your life (especially cos I’m local). Used to be that you couldn’t say anything bad about the ownership but now I feel justified in hating that we were state owned 260
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Hopefully means we get rid of the board and are forced to sell. Hate that we are state owned, and that people justify it with the “but they put so much money into the area” -it’s bullshit. At least this has given me the clarity to stop pretending like state ownership isn’t an issue 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Get rid of the owners. Always felt like the “investment in the area” was fugazi anyway and I hate that a sheikh owns a working class northern club. If that means relegation so be it 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Get rid of the owners. Always felt like the “investment in the area” was fugazi anyway and I hate that a sheikh owns a working class northern club. If that means relegation so be it 100
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Yeah but Dias literally won 0 duels against him 😂 even if he won 50% we would have been in a way better position and it might of encouraged them to not just play into Brobbey every time they got the ball 100
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I’m not, it’s still early in the season and he will get a lot of game time. 121
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Feel like most of it came from Dias not being able to beat Brobbey to a single ball all game 240
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Brain dead from Foden, we’ve been so good over the years of not giving away stupid reds. Sends a message to all the other teams that they can kick us about now and we will react stupidly. 010
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Brain dead from Foden though regardless of Bruno starting it. For years we’ve been a professional outfit who don’t get silly reds. It’s given all the other teams a way of levelling the playing field now. Shows we can be petulant and stupid 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 08/09/2026You wouldn’t have thought we held a team in great form to *check notes* 0 shots on target 🤔 010
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 08/09/2026He was having a bit of a stinker in the first half. No point risking him 001
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Poor defensively but could (should) have had at least 1 pen 010
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Ah yes, those famous deep cuts that are 2 of the most successful comic book films of all time 020
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 16/07/2026There’s our star striker, playing defensive midfield. Get him off the pitch ffs 000
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Ok let me expand my point. Kane no longer has the legs to get around the pitch in big games. He ends up way off the CBs and teams play around him, this isn’t an issue versus the worse teams as we have most of the ball. Manager are too scared to sub him off so he ends up hindering us. Just like cr7 100
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 15/07/2026We didn’t even deliver any crosses once we scored cos he was chugging around the edge of our box instead of pressuring their defence 030
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 15/07/2026You’ve just agreed with my point lol. You need 11 players all working their bollocks off in these games and he doesn’t have the legs to do it (hence him being a hindrance) 100
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 15/07/2026He’s proper at the Ronaldo stage of his career now where he’s actively a hindrance against the better teams 280
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Crazy he took off all our pace with 40 mins to go and left the corpse of Harry Kane to try and close down. They had Otamendi on ffs and we didn’t run at him once 030
Mick @mickdeee.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Reece James has been awful all tournament. He’s clearly either not fit or his legs have gone. The amount of times he didn’t get out to his winger tonight was astonishing 010
