Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
Classic case of insecurity + echo chamber.
Anything happens that could be bad for them or reflect bad on them, and the whole thread is basically them making up imaginary scenarios where everyone is evil and stupid, except them, always innocent and saints, and of course the smartest ever. And it's just 50 pages of this whilst patting each other's backs.

Does anyone know if tbe Ed Woodward thing they are mentioning is true?
They‘ve turned more corners than Scalextric
That’s because deep down they hate to admit that they need our cast offs. We’re so above them in every way

Dunno, but I hope he goes and takes his teacher's pet Murtough with him
They line that they'd never be able to afford what we offered him is at unbelievable levels of delusion

The lack of self awareness is astounding, absolute planks the lot of them.

They litterally showed the highest wage bill in Football history at £423m (more than £60m more than Utd paid) on their official accounts for 22/23 becoming the first club to break the £400m mark and pay some of the biggest wages in the world so to claim they cant afford what we we offered is ridiculous and its clearly not about the money.

All this about an NDA.
What's he going to say to the PL tribunal, or whatever they call it? Sorry guys, my NDA forbids me from telling you anything about the shenanigans going on at City.

NDA's usually have a paragraph about being compelled by authorities to divulge information. Usually that's referring to governmental bodies, but I'm sure if the PL officially demands him to answer they would be considered a legal authority in matters relating to following PL rules and regulations.
The paragraph acknowledges that the other party can't hinder the individual that signed the NDA from complying with official requests, but asks that if requested then the individual should inform the other party asap so that they can potentially file an injunction to prevent him divulging the information. Won't always work, but gives the other party an opportunity to block the authority from making a deal with the individual behind the company's back.
NDA won’t mean much if it’s an official investigation with potential fraud or other criminal components.
Oh how on earth will we catch up with their 9 league titles and 1 champions league?!
Mad how so many of them have the mental age of a 4 year old.
It’s not unusual when you combine football and the internet.
Have a look at some of our threads, not a million miles away sometimes.
The UAE and the British Government do not own the Premier League. And the Premier League have deep pockets as well. Deeper than people can fathom. The most important thing for the PL is maintaining the reputation of their brand, and keeping that annual return of 13 billion dollars of revenue flowing. They need to keep the majority of clubs sweet. And they know the clubs that bring in the biggest television audience globally, and they all want City charged with these breaches of the rules.
So don't think that the government is going to come knocking on their door to give them a warning, when they have a solid case, which clearly identifies wrong doing. The PL have the support of everybody, including the FA, Uefa, and all of the PL clubs.
If they backed off, it would be suicide.

And yet... I'm not convinced they won't get away with it.
Thankfully I've never seen anyone on the caf use a phrase as cringe as "old toilet" before.
Some people on do use cringeworthy nicknames on here but I'm not sure you've picked any there. Isn't that just City spelled phonetically in a Manc accent and Emptyhad as a pun on Etihad, because they never fill the place?
Poaching Pep as well would tank that place. I hope it happens just to feck with them even more.
Yep. Citeh is just manc dialect. Certainly not as cringe as "old toilet".
I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed with how this ends up. A fine plus a 15 to 20 point penalty at most would be my guess.
The reality is if they are guilty of what they are charged of they should be kicked out of the league but we all know that's never going to happen.
That always seemed a bit weird to me.
Us taking the piss out of Manc dialect as they take the piss cos we're not from Manchester
They do have some genius names though.
Loved "family man" " pig farmer" and "Govan Piss Can"
Ive just watched the documentery and given the level of corruption they are alledgedly involved in there is no way its going to be only a fine and small points deduction if they are found guilty, if guilty they will face an unprecedented punishment and rightly so.
Fully expect him to go on another sabbatical before taking an international job. Our chance to get him was definitely back in late 2012 but Bayern got there first
Let's get this straight. The UK does not depend on the UAE. In fact, as someone who's lived in the UAE it's quite the opposite. Not just in terms of tourism and money but also military wise and key ally. The UK could tell the UAE we're taking the club of you and forcing you to sell and the UAE wouldn't be able to do a single thing to have any effect other than a minor blip in the grand scheme of the UK economy. That is a myth that needs to die.
The UK government literally took in the Sheikh of Dubai's wife and her children despite outrage from the UAE and the royal family asking for their return. Guess what ? The royal family of Dubai still come to the UK on holiday every summer, including the sheikh himself who was recently pictured here in his mansion.
I think you should be more worried about the government officials, or higher up members of the FA/Manchester council that are trying to save their asses because it will affect their own pockets and their own positions.
*allegedly* another 25 charges on the way for the Arabian proxy club from 2018 onwards. They’re going to end up playing in the Power League
Where's that coming from?
I think someone's pulled it out of their arse. I see nothing about it anywhere.
What's odd is that they say they've set a date for the hearing but refuse to divulge the date.
All valid points but Man City is owned by the state of Abu Dhabi whose ruler is also the President of the UAE, there's additional pressure with this, we've already seen them successfully escape meaningful sanction from Uefa, despite obvious guilt, why would the PL be different?
Old Toilet is incredibly amusing to me. It's dumb and childish as far as puns go, but it still gets a chuckle.
Very informative post.
It would be a massive undertaking to bring Man United back to the top of English football. A dream project for him sor sure but I agree i think our ship for him has sailed already. Anyways I hope we can get someone with great potential. I'm a huge fan of Roberto De Zerbi.
Come one, calling it a pun is giving it far too much credit.
Mind you those leeches wouldn't have let him put the Barca backroom lot in place and definitely not given him an open chequebook either
Going by his latest quote on Berrada seems like he's just a tiny bit rattled too.
Yeah and I really don't know why
on Klopp leaving..

Was just enjoying reading some of the posts on Bluemoon, specifically about our new stadium plans. Some people on there are frothing at the mouth about it.
One comment left me aghast. He actually said that WE are copying THEM????
Just to put the record straight. In the nineties, a team of Executives from Barcelona were given exclusive commercial advise from Manchester United.
At the time, Barcelona did not know how to best monetise their club. They did not have a club sponsor, and the Nou Camp was not turning a huge profit from match day revenue. There were no hospitality packages, or even schemes for generating a steady revenue. They sort of had an attitude of "lets see who turns up on the day." Matches were not advertised and there was not really any clamour or demand for tickets. Kit sponsorship deals were not negotiated with the big hitters like Nike or Adidas. Think they had kappa. TV rights were given away and the negotiations were a formality. From a commercial sense, they were in the dark ages.
I listened to a podcast about this. A delegation from Manchester United were hosted as guests of Barcelona to demonstrate certain revenue streams, of how our club was able to turn over such vast sums of money in the UK. TV rights, Shirt deals, Club Sponsors, Match day packages, Executive lounges etc etc.. In essence, what Barcelona did was to take our model, and incorporate it into theirs. They brought in marketing execs, finance experts. Following this shift from mostly being run by football people, Barcelona dramatically changed, and they soon rose in stature, and success on the field followed within a decade.
These are the same people running Manchester City right now. Basically regurgitating the same stuff that we trailblazed in the 90's.
What we do next, will raise the bar to another level, and everybody else will follow like sheep. In truth, City had to fudge their sponsorship deals to make it look like they were successful. Also, they could never build a 90,000 stadium and fill it twice a week. We can and we will.
