Gibby @thegibbon.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Disagree on this one. As a species level survival mechanism we are all born incredibly annoying to harass our parents into tending to our every need the second it arises. The second we move out of that we start tantruming that we can't bend the entire planet to our whims at will. 010
Gibby @thegibbon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Case closed guys. Famously, 10 yrs before he joined them as a player, the then 13yo Rodri was integral in setting up the financial arrangements of Man City after Sheikh Mansour's takeover. If he says it's legit, we're all 👍. Surprised we had this whole process rather than just checking in with him 061

We started Jordan Henderson AND Danny Welbeck last week. Banning us from making transfers is a reward. 5532

Gibby @thegibbon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This ought to be a core part of the punishment now. An organisation, who, while in charge of a football club, deliberately subverted the rules governing the sport, including being obstructive to the investigation when they were found out, cannot pass any sort of "fit and proper" ownership test. 020
