If we go by what you say about the Board, a player would be crazy to commit his future to such a regime, especially when a club looking to build a legacy comes calling.

Double standard by fans. We question the direction of this club on here all the time but for the players, you expect them to shut up and be loyal. Who are they being loyal to exactly? If you're saying we're run by greedy money men in it to make a quick buck then why should he feel obligated to stay here and accept a new contract for lower wages? He chose not to sign a new contract and judging from his last performance for us, he'd have played to the best of his ability. He could have honoured his contract and walked at the end of it. You can't ask much else from a player. He wasn't kicking up a stink in the press, he didn't go on strike, just saw that this club wasn't moving in the right direction and judging from our league position and performances, he's justified.

When it comes to football, it's like all intelligence goes out the window. People ask for standards on issues they themselves would struggle to live up to.
When the fans start getting paid £100K a week by the players then we can talk about the fans' responsibilities. Regardless of our shitty board the club has still managed to place itself within striking distance of honours on several occasions. Certainly, we collapsed. Who's fault? The fans?

No. The fault lies with the board (no argument there), the manager and the players. Please let's not try to lay the blame at the fans' doorstep.

If we could have had a whole season out of Nasri and Chamakh and Ramsey and Sagna and you can keep on naming them, we'd have the honours this little cunt is talking about by now. But in Na$ri's case he decided to provide half a season. He's certainly not the only guilty party but he carries plenty of the guilt because he was supposedly one of our key players. So he decided to go missing when it really matters and then turn around and accuse the club if having a lack of ambition. Excuse me? The title was there in his hands and in the hands of all the rest of them. They opted to collapse.

Na$ri decided it was too hard to do the hard things. So he gave his patently bullshit excuse about seeking honours and then ran off to the highest bidder. Was it his ambition to sit on the bench then? Because there was always going to be more chance of that happening at a comedy club like City. What do you call an alleged footballer who would opt to spend more timer on the bench provided the cash compensated? A man with ambition?

My post makes perfect sense. The people who are prepared to understand a greedy cunt who doesn't have the balls to deliver in return for his huge pay packet and runs for the easy, highest paid option are the ones who need a re-think.
