Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It underlines how problematic and wrong it is to allow state control of clubs 010
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Well apparently what they were doing, sovereign state with huge wealth reserves, an army, no accountability to citizens etc, was fighting for the little Man against the big red cartel. But only doing so in a way that directly benefited them 100
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yes they broke the rules. You said it. That's what happened. Now they could change the rules going forward, they might be well unfair. But these people were in a competition where they were the ones breaking the rules on an industrial scale, but sure they were fighting oppression like Mandela or MLK 000
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You want to watch matches where the teams playing have an equal likelihood of winning, but it's ok if one of them selects which rules they will or won't abide by. Who gets to choose that and when? Is it the preserve of your royals? 110
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If you're allowed to question the existing rules, I'm certainly allowed to question the existing ownership by these crooks 200
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It's not. You're unhappy because you don't think the rules that City are party to by playing in the EPL are fair. I'm unhappy because state ownership isn't fair. We're both unhappy, but City have broken actual rules and pending appeal will be punished for it. 100
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The UAE has roughly 1/6 of the UK's GDP. But since you do know what you're talking about, how was Littlewoods at that time in comparison? 200
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Putting Littlewoods up against Petro state ownership is laughable. Even the name reeks of small time. 100
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The emergence of state ownership in clubs is such a level of "wealthiest" above what had been dreamt of in english football that a rethink of the rules was required. If anything, the failure to put a complete stop on such farcical ownership was the real sin the other clubs didn't make 100
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026No you were whatabouting after City were found guilty of cheating so I just asked what about the biggest elephant in the room? 000
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026City's owners have killed literally thousands of people and continue to do so. "State" is not irrelevant, you've just drawn your line pretending it isn't. 311
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026And Heysel resulted in a ban for all english clubs but a longer one for Liverpool. But definitely understandable that Everton in particular would feel aggrieved, as that was their last chance at the European cup 000
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Sure there is always luck and timing, but what were the rules they broke? And what state were Littlewoods in control of, what human rights abuses? The City owners seem to have willingly broken the rules because they are the kind of people for whom rules don't exist 200
Rory Bunk @rorybunk.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Those teams got to where they were over time by mostly footballing means, Chelsea excepted. "City" could have become just as successful but had to be more patient with it and taken longer. They aren't a football club but a zombie puppet of an oil state, owned by people who know no rules 240
