Mate, you’re going to be shocked by this but we’re actually keeping Goodison too. How mad is that! I totally get what you mean about Maine Road though. It’s sad, and I genuinely empathise. Would’ve felt criminal to demolish the Grand Old Lady and just stick a housing estate on it. Thankfully, we’re not making that mistake.

I was surprised to read Goodison will not be demolished and used by your ladies team. Not sure for how long though 🤔

Do you not rate him Dave?

I rate him, but these rumours are club-fed BS to deflect fans' attentions from a terrible window.

People have been falling for this nonsense for too many years.

I had hoped we'd seen the last of it under this lot, but it seems like BS just seeps through the pours of those who govern this club like a miasma.

All top level football is contrived and artificial, particularly top 6 PL clubs.

And yes we're are only where we are because we have a few bob.

But I've followed us from the mid 70's through all our ups and downs farcical tenures of Peter Swales and Franny Lee being chairmen when we were a whisker away from being declared bankrupt, I've seen it all.

But since we were formed in 2008 and become "soulless" we soon became successful, and although I miss our Maine Road day of being [Poor language removed] and a laughing stock I've seen City win trophies I thought I'd never see.

The game is all about money, and you Evertonions may realise it one day when you're sat their in your shiny new soulless stadium.

I wish Everton future success BTW.

You are wrong, things are organic, built out of skill, ingenuity and sporting integrity and they gain respect - take Crystal Palaces FA CUP win, that's worth more then City's contrived treble - as is Leicester Title win, its worth more then if City win 10. You can win a lot but you cant beat the good guys every time.

City aren't anything but a blunt blade ripping the soul out of football, steam roll small clubs - take all the best young players they have put time, skill an effort in by throwing money at them, need a centre forward lets go buy Erling Haaland - yep a lot of top scouting gone on there. Lets sign a centre back for 30 mill in Jan and send him on loan to Girona for season, o rperhaps on eof the other clubs in our stable and get his wages of our PSR bill. You've built nothing out of sporting integrity you've contrived trophies through resources and rule bending. Its nothing respected in football, hollow achievements that has world football and domestic football followers bored out of their skulls.

City were once a great club, man - Maine Road had a soul, the crowd, the noise, the Francis Lee's, Colin Bell's, Summerbees, Rosler, Goat, SWP, Kinkladze a club with a soul for better or worse - a proper football club. In a way they were a bigger club then, than now. I miss City if im honest.

Ultimately though the only choice City fans have now is put their fingers in their ears and pretend to themselves anything they have achieved has merit or worth or it was built by anything else then contrived battery hen forced feeding in a sports sense, what City do isnt sport. Someone said it earlier on - City aren't a big club they are club with money and essentially that it, world football and football fans know through worth and integrity - the Palce and Leicester stuff. As i said earlier 10 City titles isn't worth Leicester's one or their treble isnt worth one Palace FA CUP as they were done with integrity.

Id honestly hate to be City, no offence but im thankful it wasnt us, id miss my club, rough edges and all - but real.

Good post and I agree with much of it. City used to be like Everton, very very similar in lots of ways. But the game is all about money and City didn't start the big spending, plenty of other clubs were doing it before us.

I've suffered a lot more watching City than any of you have watching Everton. You really don't know what misery is. And I've also seen success beyond my wildest dreams. I'm grateful we were bought out to be where we are now.

Unless you start spending big you'll continue to be a mediocre middle of the road club thinking you're a bigger club than us😉😁
 
This @Maine road Man ’s posts

Remember that episode of Harry Enfield & chums when Wayne and Waynetta win the lottery?

That’s exactly how he comes across.

Piss ridden moss side tramp, taking digs at scousers but spending his time on another clubs forum so he can reflect in his clubs glory, achieved possibly by cheating, who knows?

Thing is, I have never been arsed about city and the success. If anything I was glad when it happened as it upset the big reds so much.

This is a prime example though of what happens when scruffs get money.
