Man City In Freefall - An Exec Speaks Out

Now with no name to them, the words below could well be derided, but given that the content lacks any hate agenda, I'm inclined to buy them. There have been many ambulances chasing Thaksin since his arrival at Eastlands but it seems now the sound of the sirens must be deafening. Not a good read for Manchester City fans, but interesting fare for rubbernecking Yids.
"I'm sorry to say this, as a life long fan and - for the last few (for me at least) unforgettable months - employee, MCFC as we know it is finished. Here are the FACTS, for those who really want to know. Thaksin is, as of midlnight 10th August, 2008, an international fugitive.
The Corluka affair is the last straw - I personally worked on the deal and can assure anyone interested that he has already been transferred to Spurs. Spurs have this evening started legal action, and he will be barred from playing for City following an injunction in the courts tomorrow
He now has to be found guilty of corruption in Thailand in his absense, offering no defence. Extradition requests will surely follow. The PL will then have to find him short of the fit and proper ownership rules (and believe me, the pressure for that from fellow 'members' has been growing since June).
Thaksin is trying to palm off City onto whoever will now take it, an insolvent mess of a business, completely incapable of sustaining itself. The truth is that the only interested party (until recently) - Wardle - is not now able to bail City out now , he cant come close on his own and no partners have been found. The wage bill and committments due on the last 2 years' transfers have spiralled out of control.
Personally I expect Hughes to then resign on principal (he has no choice now, he is on record as saying that he will have final say on all transfers). Many wont believe any of this, but a few will. I am very close to this situation (readers will never know who I am or how close - a few would know my name but it isnt appropriate to for me to come 'out') - trust me, I am close enough to know what has happeneded in the last fortnight, I am pissed off with it (as a fan, and as someone who has worked hard for the club durinig the ast 18 months or so) and it must be said, a little drunk.
I am posting this message on a few sites - apologies for those that keep reading it, but I want City fans to know what is happening. The sad truth is we are finished, and that as a result, the PL will be facing its biggest challenge since inception within 2 weeks of now."

This is happening, that is happening I did this, I did that.
In the meanwhile I can't tell you who I am, or what I do, except to tell you I am drunk. Oh really, I suppose we can trust you and it's not the "cheques in the post" syndrome

And your name's Denboy. It says that on your passport, yeah?
And you're posting nothing of interest to anyone...
Maybe you should calm yourself. Not everything in life comes with a COA.
Oh by the way, I will take back everything I said earlier, if the picture above is of the mystery drunk employee. He really does look like somebody who we can rely on.

I give you my word as long standing member of the Denis The Menace Fan Club that the image above is an honest and true likeness of the drunk City employee.
Mr Hotspur, if that is your real name you seem to have a go at me for making a comment that I feel many supporters may feel relevant. We supporters at Spurs, have heard and read such a lot of garbage about our club since the transfer window opened it gets rather tedious after a while.

A good read, not because City are in freefall, but because if this is right, Corluka is a Spurs player.
I like City, their a good club who have been through a lot over the last decade, their fans are one group of fans who have been through a worse time than us in recent years. it looked liek it was going well for them with teh excellent appointment of MArk Hughes as manager, but this is fast turning into a nightmare.#
anyway, as a Yid i'm happy. Corluka will add quality cover in a number of positions, at a very reasonable price . . should the deal go ahead.
Harry Harry Harry. What have you done?
A mystical director practically forecasting the collapse of a Citeh. What can we do as plain old footie fans to rescue the situtation.
I guess letting Corluka have his way and Spurs giving then a bunch of dosh could be a start.
So lets have some ideas. What do you think"
