They have this weird dual-identity where on one level they still see themselves as a small club as opposed to a bottomless pit of money that's paid for their success.

Because they can't get their heads around the fact Berrada has ditched them for us, so it has to be money motivated, which is ironic in the extreme, I have also read on there that he is coming here as some sort of spy.
This has clearly shaken quite alot of them.
I love this. This move has made them really angry and annoyed.
Somebody's rattled
"Didn't want him anyway" "He's no big loss" seems to be the lines. They are fecking seething about this
Imagine getting this rattled over a CEO
That guy is seething!
I like to think that this guy - who has been told his entire time at City how they're the big club in Manchester, how we're all rags and worthless, how City are THE club to be at - watched as his employer won the treble and nobody gave a shit, and during this he watched the Glazers saying "we might sell a portion of United, maybe teeheehee" become worldwide breaking news to the point where fake AI sheikhs were being created.
At this point he probably thought "....ah shite" and packed his bags.

Jesus Christ, the modern fan is a disaster.
Losing your mind over club staff is insane. All the more so when you aggressively pillaged the entire football industry to build your own club.
It’s just a staff position. It wasn’t Haaland. Or Pep. Or Tixi. Or Soriano.
It’s a well qualified management figure and City are under no threat from us as a club for at least half a decade. They’ve probably planned for this for a while. If it’s possible to ignore all of the dirty money and cheating, their football club operation is absurdly well ran and they’ve lost a single employee.
It’s such a trivial thing for any fan to give a feck about. Real ‘go and touch some grass’ stuff from that forum. Insane to even give a feck about him leaving.
Imagine winning a treble and caring that you lose a senior administrator. Tiny club with a childish fan base.

They need to realise that their club litterally pays the biggest wages in world football so nobody would ever leave them just for money
Dear Bertie;
Nobody gives a shit what City fans have to say about anything.

PS: our stadium might be a shithole but at least we actually own it.
This guy must be reading this thread so in that case... I used to go with my old man to watch Crewe Alex in the Championship whilst your shit pot team were struggling to get out of League One whilst playing the likes of Port Vale.
Remarkable how easily forgotten that wonderful slice of Man City history is.
A bit like when Peter Kenyon joined Chelsea.
Maybe this lad has a shopping list he can bring with him too.

Awww. Bless.
The more i watch this,the more im certain they cannot get away from this.
Seems rattled about the 115 charges to me.
I've not seen that before.. it's pretty shocking how they've gone about things and even the most hard-core City fan must see that! Can't wait for the result of the charges to be published
They are terrified.
Thanks for posting this, I hadn’t actually watched it before. Football is beyond saving after watching that.
They must be the most bitter fanbase in English football. I know scousers call Everton fans the bitter but they can't come close to City's lot, surely.
The Man City fans ive talked to know that they have done some shady shit but do not care mate.
It is pretty blatant the cheating mate.
Yes, that report is pretty damning.
The bizarre sequence of events is remarkable, because the people high up in the club knew that the additional payments had to be done in secret and without any paper or email trail, yet on six occasions, the club had to ask them for the extra money and even detailed the shortfall. And on each occasion they dropped themselves in it.
You would think that they would have kept it under the radar, but no, they made the club chase them for the money, and as a result the cheating is beyond any doubt. Even Ferran Soriano was copied into those mails.
So everybody knows that they are guilty, and City fans are hoping that the PL will back down. Or that the government will step in an quash the charges, following pressure from the UAE.
But it is too late for that. The PL will look pretty stupid if they back down after making such an emphatic statement. And the rest of the clubs won't let them get away with it. Especially Everton or Forest.
115.
It's funny how much city fans are shitting themselves over this. I bet most of them didn't even know who he was before the news broke.
Oh easily, they’re at least 115 times worse than Everton.
PL cannot turn back after giving Everton 10 points deduction for 1 breach mate.
Some are going to be so disappointed.
There's no way the PL is going to get the better of a nation state in a legal dispute sadly, the UAE is worth billions annually to the UK in tourism alone, the fact that meetings with the government and City have taken place behind closed doors suggests a deal is being cooked up to make this go away.
When I say go away there'll be another fine like the last time when drugs cheat Pep demanded an apology from UEFA for accusing the club of breaching FFP rules.
Of course, the fact the club paid a 9 million quid fine at the time for "doing nothing wrong" is neither here nor there... cough, cough, nudge, nudge.
I would guess if there is a deal it will be something like a points deduction for a few charges, meaning they miss Europe for a season but are not relegated.
Wait do you think that Premier League cares about who owns ManCity? If they are found to be guilty, they will get the hammer. Premier League as an entity cares about their #1 League title much much more than maybe UAE is going to be "mad". Legit nothing to them.
It’s funny because I’ve had them calling us bitter because of their fake success. A prime example of the pot calling the kettle black
I am sure the Premier League would gladfully hand out a serious sanction unfortunately they won't be able to do so if instructed to do otherwise by their own government.
The same Premier League turned down Saudi's bid for Newcastle but had to then accept it later when instructed to do so by the UK government.
Boringly slow in the office...

I wouldn’t read too much into it - especially when it relies on assuming that shower would make sensible decisions

Such weird reactions. There's a single post in the above which is true, about how it's very normal for these C suite guys to move around. These aren't players who would never go to a rival, they're just highly ambitious guys and United for all our ills are one of the biggest clubs in the world who can pay big money. He's a French/Moroccan dude, has no allegiance to either club and it's a step up in title. It's only news because it's United and Sir Jim/the sale has been a big media talking point.
Woodward to City announced imminently.

Inject it lads! The bitterness is absolutely oozing out of them.
