Liverpool Echo.co.uk - News - Liverpool Local News - Everton FC fan tycoon George Downing thrown out of Manchester City

EVERTON FC fan and Merseyside property tycoon George Downing was unceremoniously thrown out of a Man City directors box after the game on Wednesday.
Mr Downing was a guest of Everton FC at the clash when he made a joke about fans singing “2-0 and we’ve spent f*** all” which appears to have been taken the wrong way by Man City chief executive Garry Cook.
After the 2-0 Everton win at The City of Manchester stadium multi-millionaire Mr Downing and his wife were told they were no longer welcome in the box and they left.
Everton’s chief executive Robert Elston demanded an explanation from Mr Cook as Mr Downing was at the match as guest of Everton.
Mr Downing today told the ECHO that the matter is closed. It is understood that he has received an apology.
Mr Downing is Liverpool’s largest commercial landlord. He owns the Port of Liverpool building and the Capital Building.

Everton contact Garry Cook following reported Eastlands row - Barclays Premier League - ESPN Soccernet

Everton have confirmed they have asked Manchester City chief executive Garry Cook "for his observations" following an alleged incident in a game between the two clubs on Wednesday night.
It is reported that Cook was involved in a heated row with George Downing - a guest of Everton in the directors' box - as the Toffees won 2-0 to end Manchester City's unbeaten home record in the Premier League.
David Moyes and Roberto Mancini were both sent to the stands following a dispute on the touchlines and it is believed that words were also exchanged between Cook and Downing. The Daily Mail reports Downing was joining in with chants from the Everton supporters.
Everton are now seeking to establish Cook's perspective of the incident that has attracted back-page headlines.
"I can confirm that I have written to Mr Cook asking for his observations regarding the incident," Everton's head of media Ian Ross told the Manchester Evening News.
It is also reported on Friday that Manchester City are keen to investigate alleged comments made by Craig Bellamy in the tunnel following Everton's victory.

Id love to know what Bellamy said!

I remember at the start of the season and around the time we faced them at home what the City fans were saying! All that stuff on their forums about Moyes having no class, hes jealous and thats why he opens his mouth about them all the time etc etc!

Ironic really isnt it!
 

We have really exposed them for what they are, the signs were there for all to see when adebayor raced down to the arsenal fans, bellend in the manc derby and now they have been exposed on the pitch, in the dugout and even the directors box, all we need now is for their 'fans' to be exposed as the shameless knob'eads that they are and the arabs will be having 2nd thoughts, I reckon the manchester derby could be very feisty and when ushoited trounce them I can see mass revolt that will land them in a lot of hot water, be it inside or outside the stadium.
