City's Owners

[Niall_Quinn]

Because any trophies they win are meaningless. We all know how they got there, any of their more discerning fans would know too.
Maybe it doesn't bother them, maybe they don't care how they achieve success. It would bother me.

As for Utd fans not getting bored of success, they've not swept the board every year and they have at least done it the 'right' way in that although they've spent big it is at least money they've earned through previous success. I've been told to retire my 'buying a degree off the internet' analogy so I will but I think most people can see the difference between achiving success through hard work and having it handed to you on a plate. The former is far more satisfying.

If you're a Simpsons fan think the Stonecutters episode where they keep letting Homer win at everything...

Didn't see that episode. Is Homer bright enough in the end to figure out the truth, or does he just act the ungracious pratt and lord it over the competition? If it's the latter then in Homer's mind he really did win and the trophies are very meaningful to him.

Even Homer's entheusiasm for winning dwindles as he realises that he's not having to work that hard to achieve 'success'.
Was trying to find the YouTube clip bug Fox are notoriously vigilent and it's quite hard to find Simpsons clips on there.

Rather have them than our board

I'd rather the whole of football collapses and we go back to amateur sport.

Ah well, I guess City fans don't have Homer's insight or instincts.

In the episode the Stonecutters get so pissed off with Homer they decide to form a new society called the Society of No Homers.

Homer then replaces all former members with monkeys, gets them drunk and forces them to re-enact the American Civil War.

Although I'd love this to happen at City, I remain cautiously sceptical.

The civil war bit isn't such a long shot.

Wouldn't mind if all footie clubs had billionaire owners, then we'd be on a level playing field again.

We've got two of them and we're still shite.

By the by, how do people still feel about Chelsea's success?
