So your only No3 in the world? No? how poor with 690,000,000 fans world wide
Please read up on your clubs history - its based on three sugar daddies such that the club did not earn/generated its wealth until the mid sixties. After the war City were kind enough to loan you Maine Road when you had no ground and again when you had no floodlights in the fifties so you could play European matches so I think the thank you should come from you first - you can ignore history if you want to remain deluded but there will always one who will put you right
and what Template would this be? Fixing matches,poaching young players,making illegal payments to young players all things you have been found guilty of by the FA - no thanks
There are sour grapes in abundance in your posts hulme lad.. You really do have to admit to yourself why you have 2 trophies in you chest right now ...
1.How did the trophies come about ? answer...
You got a Sheik to do for you what you couldn't manage on your own (you tried and tried but didn't win a sausage cept for a meaningless euro plate) over the last 50 years
2. Did your club self generate through dealings/ results
over the last 50 years ? ..
answert ...No you couldn't , you were crap ..
3..You've had Peter Swales, Franny Lee, Taxin Sinatra and uncle tom cobley an all ...and still you couldn't do it ..
You've had 26 managers in the last 25 years and still you failed
4.. You haven't really evolved in the last 50 years ..why

?
... 3 years ago a man with a £billion to spare came knocking after trying to buy 4 other clubs before he tried you ...now you have won a couple of trophies ... How did that happen i wonder?
YOU WOULD NOT BE WHERE YOU ARE AT THIS MOMENT WITHOUT THAT £
MONEY£.
Dress it up in whichever way you like hulme lad but you wouldn't have won a thing without that big big handout ...
You're getting tiresome
So now as Cupcake so nicely put it ...Bog Off !!!
